I installed audible player and can listen to audiobooks using the supplied headset they sent. I would prefer playing through my car stereo or via bluetooth headset. I only have HBH-602 SonyEriccson headset--but it connects and then cuts out. What else could I use via bluetooth or in car to connect to auxiliary cable I have to car stereo?
Also, is there a way to add or remove items on HOME screen like I did with my 8125?
Thank you

To transfer all audio to either a bluetooth headset or car audio use this program. It works wonderful. It doesn't reproduce the full range of sound perfectly, but it is amazing none the less.

Does anyone know of a adapter I can use to connect my 8525 to my car cassette player to play some mp3s?
Casette adapter
I'm using regular (wired) casete adapter which I got from RadioShack and connect it to R35 which in its turn is paired with TyTN. By this I can listen mp3 stored in mн PDA as well as on-line radio through car speakers. I should note that quality is much better than I expected, better tha regular radio (not HD )
Wonderful news thanks..
I installed the Sony MEX-BT5000. Its able to stream audio from the tytn via BT. Very nice, it connects automatically when I start the engine. I also use it as my handsfree for calls. At first, callers said they couldnt hear me loudly, so I flipped down the faceplate during calls and now calls are good. This is because the mic is behind the faceplate.
Just thought I'd throw it out there...another option to connect the tytn wirelessly.

This is wonderful news because I was just looking into some bt radios..
Do you have a BT headset? I'm curious if I can still use my headset while in the car and just do the audio part..
I do have a BT headset, but I found that the combination doesnt work well. I tried to split the audio streaming to the headunit, and then the handsfree to the headset, but the results were unreliable at best.
I've found that the headunit mic is good enough quality to speak through, as long as you flip down the faceplate. If you dont want to use the handsfree, you can use the audio only and regular Tytn phone. The BT connections are separated by Sony.
Interestingly enough, I was able to internet radio stream via BT to the headunit, and run Tomtom navigator 5 BT GPS unit at the same time. The music volume was decreased and the directions came over the music.
I guess I could just turn off my headset while in the car. I assume it will mute the radio when calls come through..
So you don't get any skipping or anything while playing mp3s?
Do you store your mp3s on a storage card?
Mp3s stored on storage card and internet radio streaming doesnt skip connected via bluetooth.
What is a R35? Is it a BT radio reciever of some sort?
Hi
Can anyone confirm that Sat Nav commands are streamed to a blue tooth speaker ?
I would like to use the Sat Nav on my phone but the in-built speaker isn't upto the job. A simple blue tooth speaker would be fine, if it works. . . .or are there any other alternatives.
Any help or recommendations would be most welcome.

Hi
I will test this at work today for you as i have bluetooth speakers there can also check an fm transmitter if you want to go down that route
I use a Venturi mini (http://www.myventuri.com/home.aspx ) and it stream BT sat commands, phone calls and even my .mp3 music to my car radio, separate or even together.....it's excellent, especially as it's powered from cigarette lighter socket
Thanks for this - I do like the look of the Venturi mini, and the usb charging function would be ideal, but I would prefer an independent speaker so that I can still use my cars radio/media player. What it does prove is that I can stream commands using A2DP to a bluetooth device.
I can confirm BT speaker output for two navigation softwares:
IGO8 and ALK Copilot.
Using a Blaupunkt car audio unit named "Hamburg MP68" with A2DP streaming.
Working quite well, the same as my BT stereo headphone, a Plantronics 590E.
If you connect a bluetooth headset/ a2dp device, all sounds should play over bluetooth, so it should work without any problems

Yes, but some devices, such as the Jabra BT3030 go into standby between commands and by the time it has come to life again, and received the audio half of the audio is missing, or you don't get any of it.
Well I'm going to try a Jabra SP700 and see if it works - I'll let you know.
My Jabra SP700 works fine with TomTom & streams music. I'd certainly recommend it.
OK so here's what I want to do.
I'm currently my Hero as a kar kit by plugging it in via my cars aux input. I also permanently use my phone to play my favorite tunes via the aux input. So when I get a call the music pauses and continues when I'm done talking.
I'm now interested in buying a bluetooth speakerphone as the hero does not have echo cancellation and audio calls echo's back horribly in my car.
Will I be able to pair the bluetooth speakerphone/headset and have music playing via the 3.5mm jack at the same time? Will calls be handled via the Bluetooth device or the audio jack?
Maybe you could ask a Mod to move this to General -> Q&As? It isn't Hero specific & you could get a bigger audience. You should mention what version of Android you'll be running though.

Ah ok, thanks for the tip.
I went ahead and bought the Bluetooth speaker without knowing the outcome. When the phone is plugged into the 3.5mm jack a headphone icon is displayed. When the bluetooth device is connected, a different bluetooth paired icon is displayed.
So what happens is exactly what I wanted - When listening to music via the 3.5mm the audio is played via the car stereo. When a call comes in the music gets paused and the audio get routed the bluetooth speaker.
Inexpensive and simple car-kit solution.
Glad you got a result - & that you posted on it
What kit did you buy to do this? I am looking to do the same!
Has anyone gotten this phone to work playing music through your car stereo through Bluetooth?
I'm paired fine and calls come through stereo, but music still comes through phone speaker. My gf isn't around atm or i'd ask her(she got her HD7 to do bluetooth music on my stereo).
I at least know that once it's paired, it's a phone setting.
I have mine paired with my Sony Bluetooth car stereo and it plays fine. I did have one instance where it played through the phone speaker but it corrected itself the next day.

There should be an option depending on what music player you are using to determine what output you are using. Kinda like if you had a bluetooth earbud, you wouldn't want to play music through it, just receive your calls through it.

So all you did was just pair, started music player, then it automatically went through Bluetooth?
No matter what I do, it just keeps going through phone speaker(only calls go through Bluetooth). I've tried with default music player and poweramp.
I don't have anything bluetooth to try, but there are no options at all to choose output path either in BT or Music player?

Under advanced Bluetooth options there is one labeled FTP Server which I believe you need to have on in order to stream music. Hmm... Tried turning Bluetooth on and off on both the phone and stereo, even rebooted phone. Blah!

When you pair a headset that is stereo capable, it will pair to 2 things, phone audio and media. Have you tried to unpair and pair and see if that fixes it?
I have paired my Rezound with a set of bluetooth stereo headphones and also with my car stereo. I have noticed that the media audio connection is intermittent. It always *says* that it is connected to media audio, but sometimes the sound comes out of my phone speaker anyhow. I have not figured out how to fix this. It seems to happen randomly (more frequently with my car stereo than with the headphones, but it has happened with both). All I can recommend is to go into a Disconnect/Unpair/Pair/Connect loop until you get it to work. It might also help to power cycle your phone. I just did that last night and it paired and connected properly with my car stereo this morning.
This all of course assumes you have checked "Media" under the options screen for the device with which you are pairing.

If it behaves like any other Android phone, when it links up to a bluetooth connection with the audio profile enabled, it should automatically route it's sound to bluetooth, there's no setting in the music player to toggle that.

My car has the option for bluetooth media and when I sync'd the phone to the car last night for the first time it worked flawlessly I didn't have to to anything special. I don't think it's a problem with the phone, maybe the car stereo?
I suspect the phone since I've seen the same intermittent problem both with my car stereo and my headphones. Plus I never had any problem with my original Droid with both those devices.

Update: did a plain old pair with the HTC HD7 again and the music came through the stereo just fine. Tried again with the Rezound and still keeps going through the phone speakers. Oh well... My fault for trusting HTC.. ;P
First off I have this mount. My Rezound is Stock. I can stream music through a cable but not voice calls. I cannot get the Bluetooth to work while it is in the dock. I can tell it to send it to BT but no sound comes through. I would really like to get Voice to come through my car speakers but I can't find any settings.
You said you've tried headphone jack plugged into car stereo via cable? Works fine for me using the same dock , stock and rommed, both before and after i uninstalled the dock program that was annoying. Has on all 3 of my android phones, usually with no dock. Have music or podcasts going, call comes in, shoots right through stereo. Bluetooth may be funky depending on how its setup with the car, stereo, or other device.
If a cable is not working, i'm baffled. Your stereo would need to be set to the "aux" input of coarse, and the cable plugged into to stereo/phone.
But how about the BT setup, what are you using for that?
That dock should have no impact on your BT connection. When you connect to your BT device, go into Settings, Wireless & Networks, Bluetooth Settings, find your device down at the bottom you're connecting to, hard press on it and select Options..., make sure both phone and media are checked under Profiles.
Yeah, for Bluetooth music streaming in my car I also had to tell my car to connect portable music player. Then I got the music working through my stereo in addition to the phone calls.
