When I connect my phone via Bluetooth to my car, I have no problems skipping to the next track or going to a previous track using the controls on my car. However, the controls on my car does not let me fast-forward or rewind specific parts of a song. I was able to do this with my old LG v20 was connected to my car via Bluetooth. Is there a setting I'm missing that is not allowing me to fast-forward or rewind? Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.
What media on your phone are you using for music? And what head unit is installed in your car?

I'm using Google play music and it's the stock head unit. I drive a A5 sportback, so stock Audi MMI. It worked fine with my LG v20, I was able to fast-forward and rewind using the controls in my car. However, with my OP7 pro, I can only skip or go back to the previous track using controls in my car.

Did anyone try this? I'm thinking of buying a new radio WITH bluetooth..
IF the bluetooth radio stuff works, then tomtom/music could go via my HTC which would be awesome... or is it possible to play MP3's via an USB outlet, or have some auxout to my htc?
A few months ago, I bought a head unit (Dual XHD6425) that has front panel aux out, usb, and bluetooth. I originally got it for its 3.5 mm auxillary out for my ipod, but I then bought the add-on bluetooth module and started using my cellphone and now my Fuze. Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP) is much more convenient as there are no wires to deal with. The TF3D music program supports AVRC so you can use the unit's fast fwd/rewind/stop buttons to control playback. Tomtom also routes its audio through the bluetooth interface as well. Of course, you also get hands-free calling, which is great as I usually forget to put on or turn on my bluetooth headset when I enter my car.
My head unit could also play music from USB sources (name hard drives, etc, but strangely not ipods). The unit was able to read from the Fuze since it can mount itself as a storage drive providing access to the microsd card. However, in this mode, I'd have to scroll through songs using the unit's interface, which was not very easy to navigate. Still, I can use the USB port to charge/power devices if I needed to do so.
^^^Ditto what he said^^^
My Xterra has a Pioneer single din headunit with built-in Bluetooth. A2DP streaming works great, but sometimes sounds a little tinny or washed-out. If you have added a subwoofer to your vehicle then get a headunit with an independent subwoofer level control. Some songs will be very bassy, while others will need some added punch...this can be adjusted very easily especially with a remote-mount bass level knob.
You can also sync your contacts over to the BT headunits and set speed dials as well as picture dials in some cases. My Pioneer replacement will be a double din 7" touchscreen dvd player with BT. Make sure it has plenty of audio controls/adjustments...digital time correction is a nice feature to help balance sound and set stage.
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
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

Hey, i've got the Sprint version of the Note 5.
Is there a way I can have some sort of remote control to press "rewind" on my audiobook app? This is for while I'm driving and connected to my car stereo via 3.5mm audio jack.
In a previous version of Android (I don't remember which) I use to be able to have my bluetooth headset connected and press a button to rewind 10 seconds back and still have it play through my car stereo via the 3.5mm audiojack. After the Android update (a while back), every time I try to use my bluetooth headset for the rewind function, the phone automatically switches the audio output from 3.5mm to the bluetooth headset. So, i'd have to manually change the audio output of the phone back to 3.5mm every time I want to hit rewind...no good.
so, how can I have my phone playing the audiobook through my car stereo via 3.5mm plug and be able to remotely rewind anytime I want?
*BUMP* anyone??
