Can I use Bluetooth to listen to mp3 and other audio on MDA?

Hi guys
I've not used a bluetooth headset with my MDAIII before so please excuse a few simple questions!
I have a motorbike and use Autocom to commect to my phone, mp3 player, radio etc etc. Trouble is - lots of wires!
My question:
Can I use the MDAIII & bluetooth headset not only for the phone function but to listen to media player or listen to a film etc etc, or is it exclusively for the phone?

The guys here are desperately trying to find ways to make that happen. Unfortunately, no news yet.

as far as i read then you can install vidcomm bluetooth stack and get the music part working but then it will not work as phone headset
or you can stick with the normal stack and only use it for phone headset
i just use this

then i can do both
and ditch the dongle if
anybody else solve the issue

[Q] Listen to music and podcasts on Mono BT headset

Hi friends,
I own a HD2 running Android and the only thing that I couldn´t find a solution was to listen to my music and podcasts though my Nokia BH-104 mono bluetooth headset.
On WinMo I used a very simple program which gives me the option to stream the audio to the BT earpiece or not. But I haven´t find anything like this to Android.
Am I missing something or it´s not possible to do this?
Thank you!

Nobody else has this problem?

I had the same problem, I use to use a regular bt earpiece through my winmo phone but on my Hero I had to get the new moto h17 earpiece to listen to music or in my case Howard Stern through the earpiece, On an android phone the earpiece needs to be A2dp.

Oh, what a shame! =/

My friends, I opened this thread, however nobody was able to help me. Although I have performed a deep search on google and I was able to find a program that just does what I ever wanted!!!
It´s called Super BT Mono Froyo Pro and can be found on the Android Market. It costs only $2.99 and it´s worth each cent.
The only advice I can give is: before disconecting the Mono BT earpice/headset, open Taskiller and shut down the program. Otherwise, Android will crash and reboot.
Anyway, now I can listen to my podcasts!!! Yahoooooo

[Q] Audio to non A2DP headset

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.

[Q] Bluetooth stream "on demand"

Hey guys, I can't find this:
In my car I have Bluetooth hands free, so I can listen radio and the radio is mute when a call is coming or I do one. But when I use GPS app on my phone, the audio coming out from the phone speaker. I found some apps to stream the GPS voice to my hands free system, but that mute the music whatever the GPS talking or not.
So, what I want is I would still listen my radio and got it mute only when the GPS talk.
In other word, I would android stream audio to hands free bluetooth only when a sound on the phone happen.
Someone knows if it exist?

Podcasts on Parrot??

Not sure where this question should go, some maybe someone could have a look and move it for me please?
I have an older Parrot handsfree car kit that was already built into my car when I bought it.
It works fine with android phones.. currently a poco x3 pro.. so I can make and recieve calls and it all happens through nice speakers I can hear while driving..
Great...
Lately someone called me on with WhatsApp while I was driving and I was amazed, not only did it auto answer but the call worked just fine.
That got me thinkin and I've now been able to get my daily standup call on Teams going in the car.. which is a godsend.
So, now that I realised that software calls other than just phonecalls work with the Parrot .. I 'm wondering why I cant get Player FM to play podcasts through the handsfree?
I don't have bluetooth in the builtin stereo and the cars dash is only moulded for the stock stereo. But it would be brill to be able to listen to something other than rubbish radio ads all the way home..
So I'm just wondering whats different between media player apps on the phone and 'phone' or communication apps? What is it that allows WhatsApp to send sound through the handsfree but not PlayerFM (or Pulsar) ??
Is it a routing thing? A configuration thing?
Is it anything I could change easily?
Thanks
