I've looked at a few threads about a Bluetooth issue, but I'm not having that. I can pair a bluetooth headset and listen to music all day long. I do when I work out in the mornings as well.
The problem is when I get in my vehicle (I've tested it with regular headphones as well) and hook up a 3.5mm cable, it only sends system sounds. I cannot listen to iHeartRadio, music player, or Pandora. I'm sure any similar programs would yield the same result.
Rooted and with a custom ROM (currently Bean's but it also happened when running Synergy). Has anyone found this a little finicky?
Interesting...I assume you're using stereo Bluetooth, which works fine by most accounts.
That sounds like your hardware is just totally defective. Have you tried turning Bluetooth off and using the headphones? It may be as simple as it still sending the media stream to your Bluetooth device, which is normal behavior. As we have found out the hard way, you can't use both at the same time.
This issue mainly affects those of us without car A2DP Bluetooth that allows streaming all audio so we need to use the aux jack for media audio. When we do that we cannot use Bluetooth for calls unless we disconnect the stereo cable.

Yes it was stereo bluetooth. As far as defective hardware goes, I actually think it's a firmware/software issue. This is due to the fact that when I first installed Bean's Rom it worked again for a day. I probably went to the gym in between the days and then noticed the problem. The bluetooth is off when I'm not using my headphones.
I just placed an order on Amazon for a double din Clarion deck with just about every bluetooth profile offered (exaggeration... have you ever wiki'd bluetooth profiles?).
Thanks for chiming in! Always nice to get a reply.

just as the title says, is it possible to send music via bt to my stereo just like when i make or recieve calls?
not that i'd use this as a sole way to listen to music in my car, but i just started wondering if it were possible, and if so, how?
It's possible, but you have to make sure that your Stereo has the bluetooth profile for A2DP. It's the same pairing process, but instead of only streaming call audio it will stream any other audio too.
Also, the stereo will have a headphone icon under bluetooth preferences.
Hope this helps.
I do that all the time in my car. The sound quality is not as good as hooking up a cable through th aux jack. The nav direction also come through my car stereo.
Ah yes, I forgot about A2DP being needed... That would make my situation impossible... I'll just have to get a 3.5 mm to RCA plug for aux... Thanks guys.

I had some trouble with this, but the key for me was making my Pioneer head unit "forget" my previous phone. Now it works great!
Actually there is a way to stream music wirelessly to your car stereo: mini FM transmitters. Quite cheap on ebay. I wouldn't bet on audio quality tho.
Hello. I looking for an application that would redirect all sounds to me through the handsfree in the car to the speakers, I mean as MP3, navigation and so on. Do you know anything about this? Thank you

Yes!
I have just the perfect thing for you.
Here is what I use everyday:
http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-AUD-1100-06-6-Feet-Stereo/dp/B000SE6IV8
It works perfectly.
Nonono, I haven't AUX or cassette player in my car :-(
Jabra makes a Bluetooth speaker phone that transmits through fm radio. Works perfect for me

I use a Parrot MKi9000 for this. But if your car already has the Bluetooth setup, it also has to support the audio media profile. If it doesn't, there's nothing you can do to get all your audio to run through it. If it does have the audio media profile, you can simply tell your bluetooth settings to output media audio to your car's bluetooth.
It's been my experience that the majority of stock vehicle head decks that have bluetooth for the phone do not support the audio media profile and just support the phone hands free profile.

Depends on the model of your stereo in your vehicle. I've got a Ford Puma and it only has a CD player. After buying this http://www.thompsonsltd.co.uk/Conne...7-02/CTVFOX001.7/OEM-Head-Unit-Interface/Ford I can now plug in any mp3/phone/ipod via the 3.5mm jack.
This is what i use just plug into car cigarette outlet and turn to match station and it works. Simple

My Bluetooth audio plays all through my head unit? I only have a cheap tv chinese thing
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to stream audio music and/or FM radio from Windows Phone 7 (I have the HTC HD7) to a non A2DP Bluetooth headset (I have the Jabra EasyGO).
It seems that I can only make and receive calls with it.
I've searched all over the place (and web) and cannot find a way to do that.
The only way is to get a new Bluetooth headset with A2DP capability?
Is there is a workaround, please let me know.
Thanks.
I don't know of one. As far as I know, the Headset profile is mono-channel only (plus another channel for the mic) anyhow, and probably quite low bandwidth, so it would likely sound awful.
Thanks for your answer GoodDayToDie.
But I don't mind for quality... Actually I'm not interested to listen for audio.
I just want, for example, to hear drive directions when I'm driving using navigation software (Navigon) instead of hearing from the loudspeaker.
Hmm... I thought the phone *would* use Headset profile for driving directions. Weird. I find the WP7 implementation to be so bad that I prefer to keep using a 4-year-old Garmin Nuvi instead, but I could have sworn I tested it and it came over the BT (and my car only has Headset, not A2DP). Maybe poke around in Settings?
Alternatively, if your car has Aux In, you could use a ripping cable (double-ended headphone cord, they're very cheap) and then the phone will play instructions over the cable into the car's stereo. This is also a great way to use the phone's music player, including Zune Pass if you have it, to play music in the car (I do this all the time). It uses less battery than having Bluetooth transmitting constantly would anyhow.
Here is my problem, I connect my phone to my car radio using a speaker cord connected to the headphone jack of the phone which works great. Problem is when I try to then make a call using my Q2 bluetooth headset. I can make the call, but it reverts back to the car speakers and not through the bluetooth device and the microphone on the bluetooth doesn't work either. It uses the samsung microphone.
Is this a setting issue, or do I need to unplug the speaker cord from the headphone jack every time I try to make a call?
Just found another similar thread. Still no answers?

I too would like to know if there is a way to make it work. so far the only thing that works is unplugging the cable to talk on bluetooth. which is kinda defeats the purpose of hands free. I am rooted and still can't find a solution. if you find any hack please post it here!
one other way is to buy a BT receiver that has audio and phone, but i kinda want to keep my integrated one.

Found it today. I was reviewing a post and poster (cant remember who!) mentioned he had a defective headset and used SoundAbout from the playstore to fix it. That got me curious, so I opened the app description and found that it would help with our problem. I downloaded the free version then the paid version $2.99 and it works. I am so happy you can not imagine. care the settings that worked for me:
Headset Plug in/out, checked.
Headset microphone, checked.
Notification Audio, checked.
Media audio, wired headphones
Bluetooth behavior, Bluetooth disconnected, checked
Bluetooth Auto Enable, checked
Phone call audio, Wired Headphones (but keeps reverting back to "Let Phone Decide" for some reason!)
I will email the developer and see if he has a solution and post back, but this is not a show stopper by any means.
Buy the paid version and enjoy the SG3 the way it should have worked out of the box.

Buy the audio out from micro usb cables and it fixes it.

Has anyone successfully managed to get the phone to stream music via Bluetooth. I've tried my sound bar, Moto S11's, cars, trucks, SUVs with no luck. I can take calls on all, but no music via bluetooth streaming.
Do it everyday, with both my car stereo for calls and music and also in house with small bt speaker in my kitchen.
Never had an issue with connection once

I do it everyday as well. Listen to music and podcasts over LG Tone+, and it works in my car with Ford Sync too. The volume is jacked when using it with a stereo headset but that's another issue.

Used it in my car several times. Under the Bluetooth settings for the device your connected to, make sure its checked to use a media device.
Do this everyday as well. I connect to my Mazda 3's stereo as well as Bluetooth speakers at home without a single hitch.
Connecting is not the problem. Phone connects fine. All my cars recognize the connection because I can make calls from my cars. I get my calls too. I just can't stream music to my head units. Works fine with my HTC One call and streaming. Just can't get the streaming to work.
I have a budget JVC head unit for my car, and it always drops the signal. (Has done it with the One, GNex, iPhone...)
While the phone is "connected" toggle the source on the Bluetooth receiver, meaning - switch it to AUX, then leave it for a couple seconds, switch it back to Bluetooth and see if that helps. Also when there is music playing, crank up the volume on the phone (volume rocker) because there is a separate volume level for Bluetooth sound versus ringtone volume.
Hope this helps in some way

Ahhhh, your car may not support the media profile, just phone.

Nope. They all support it. My HTC One streams music no problem. I've resetted the phone multiple times and now my Bluetooth file exchange is not working. I'm going to have to RMA it. Which sucks.

In the Bluetooth settings for your car, so you have the box ticked for streaming music? There are two boxes for mine in the seeing profile for my car ... handle voice calls and music stream.
I have switched off voice calls for my Bluetooth speaker in house using the profile settings for that device
