Integrating trinity with car

I am looking for a quick and easy way to integrate my trinity with my car.
Currently I have have a generic car mount with charger. However, I find that TomTom and telephone calls over the speakers are too quiet.
I was thinking of installing a Parrot MK6000 in my car as a method to stream audio from my trinity to the car stereo whilst also acting as a car kit for hands free use while driving. Has anybody had any experience with wiring up this kit? is it easy for a moderate level electronics users (able to solder wires proficiently etc.) to wire up?
Alternatively does anybody know of other solutions to integrate the trinity with the car stereo?

Hello:
I installed this hands free in my car, and it works really fine as a hands free. The audio streaming works well too, but the sound is quite methalic. With tomtom, there is a delay in the sound, the first word it says, for example "...Turn on the left in...." you listen "...urn on the left in ..." and it hanpens allways when tomtom starts to talk.
My OS version is wm5 and I read that wm6 solves this problem.

I recently bought a LG LAC7700R (carstereo with bluetooth and cd/mp3/wma player, with a seperate mic you can place somewhere in your car) works good, up to 5 phones can connect, last six called contacts it will remember. no phonebook in carstereo. Carstereo mutes automaticly by incoming call. You can even use BT audiostream.
i have always BT on, on my phone, it will connect by itself with the carstereo.
works fine for me.
now i am looking for a nice phoneholder with only a charger.

I have a similar setup, with the Sony MEX-BT2500 instead.
However I did not manage to route the Tomtom or iGO sound over the BT A2DP stream.
As a charging holder I have the Brodit Cradle installed.

check this, maybe it will help:
goto bt settings in your phone and activate bluetooth stereo on. that's the thing for play mp3's and navigationvoices over BT. The handsfree mode is for phone voice. (leave that on!)
does sony support a2dp ? maybe that's the problem.

Actually I bought the Sony because it supports A2DP. And with MortPlayer it works flawless when listening music. With activated Bluetooth Stereo (Headphone Symbol in top bar) Tomtom still uses the internal speaker.

BT sound in Car

Hello, my new car has a bluetooth support, that if I keep my fuze with bt turned on, when the fuze rings it ring on the car's sound, if I answer it works by car's sound and the BT integrated mic, and when I call also, it works the same way.
I'd like to transmit my fuze's sound I hear on WMP, or TCMP right to the car's sound, so I think I would have to configure car's sound as a handsfree.
Would anybody know if the bluetooth's sound would have a good quality? And if there is a away for transmit it?
Thanks

if the car's bt support a2dp you can choose it as wireless stereo under bluetooth settings
if it don't support that you cant

I can't see any configuration about it. what is this a2dp?
My car's bt is only a button, that u press two times to call, and one time to answer, it configures automatically, and I can not see anything about it.

Rudegar is right - if your car supports a2dp you can connect the device to your cars stereo. However some car maufacturers offer upgrades for BT-audio for their car stereos (Audi for example) if it´s not buil in originally.
I have a Sony car stereo (BT5100) and tried it with my touch pro. The sound quality however is fairly poor. I have tried different audio players with no improvement.

hippokrates, any idea if the built in bluetooth in a BMW M6 supports a2dp?

I found a PDF-File on the BMW Homepage. Apparently they don´t support a2dp (even though they don´t specificcally mention it) but offer so called snap-in adapters for a bunch of cellphones. Unfotunately the TP is not one of them. However, they tested the BT-functions (hands free protocoll and SIM-card access) and they are officially working with the touch pro. But I suppose you found that out allready ;-)

H, thanks for that. I couldn't find it on the BMW site. The bluetooth does work well with my TP in the M6. I only use it for the phone, which works very well. I'll have to experiment with the music and see if I can get that working. I'll report back.

Car audio remote

I am currently looking for something so I can use my N1 in the car for music. My current setup is a Blueant for handsfree and a FM tuner plugged into the headphone jack. It works great but I nearly crash every time I try skipping songs if I'm not in the music app on the right screen.
I have given one of these a go
http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/bluetooth-adapter-for-steering-wheel/
The handsfree was utter rubbish but the FM and remote side of things was great. Does anyone know of a FM tuner / remote or at the very least just a bluetooth remote so I can skip and pause music. I still want to be able to use my blueant as its great for handsfree.
I have seen the LiquidAux, it looks like what I need but can you use one and still use a seperate handsfree as the LiquidAux has handsfree in it.

The liquid aux works great. I use it with my handsfree.

Does your car stereo have Bluetooth built in or a built in mic?

I was just curious on who has Bluetooth that's built into there car stereo that also perhaps has a built in mic.
Can you provide what model of radio it is and how you like it?
I want to use my phone in the car for listening to music in the car over Bluetooth as well as being able to make and receive calls over Bluetooth.

First of all...the stereos don't have mic's...it uses the mic on your phone.
And for car stereo, i use a Sony XNV-770bt...it's awesome.

That's actually not true. Jvc has a stereo that has a mic.
It's the JVC KDR-520 CD receiver and KS-BTA100 Bluetooth adapter. The KS-BTA100 Bluetooth adapter has a built in mic. You can find it on Crutchfield's website.

Currently I'm using Sony MEX-BT2800. Streams audio and calls through car speakers. Has a mic built in the front. I absolutely love it. Costs $160 on Sony's site but you can easily get it from $90~ from eBay refurbished.

my infiniti has one but it kinda sucks cuts out all the bloody time!

I have a 2011 sonata. The standard stereo system includes a mic in the cabin and full blue tooth support for calls and stereo audio streaming. Both work flawlessly with my G2X, first with stock rom and now with EB 2.2

I have a Kenwood DNX-9980: http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entertainment/eXcelon/Mobile_Video_n_Navigation/DNX9980HD
It does just about everything but drive the damn car for you. As far as bluetooth goes, it uses Parrot, so it supports A2DP with full track control, etc... Phonebook, voice dial, it reads text messages to you, audio interrupt, etc etc...
Seriously, this deck does EVERYTHING you could ever want. It has more features and a better UI than a BMW iDrive or the new lexus interface.
Main drawback for most people is that it's double din, and clocks in around $2000.

I am using ATOTO A6. Which has built-in microphone & external microphone .Acturally built-in microphone is pretty enough for my daily using. Just search'ATOTO' on Amazon.

[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.
