Is it possible to use a Bluetooth Carkit to play audio from the Vario in my car? If so, what should I look for in a carkit?
is this question so weird? I prefer not to buy something extra (like fm transmitter) for music.
It seems there aren't any yet. What you need is a car kit (and a PDA) that supports A2DP Bluetooth profile. I have not been able to find any references to such kit being available for sale anywhere. However, there is a car stereo from Pioneer that will support A2DP once released.
Take a look at this fairly comprehensive list of A2DP compliant devices - perhaps when someone develops the car kit you need, it will show up there.
Thanks. Now I know what to look for! I'll keep my eyes open.

Kenji776: if you can listen to calls over your bluetooth, have a go on my app VJVolubilis, using the -agon option.
It might work to open audio generally over the bluetooth connection, playing all sound out. Works on some devices, but not all.

i have a2dp in my car. I modified my HP bluetooth headphones and wired it directly to the aux input of my deck. I relocated the buttons to the front near the deck so now i have full control of the playback without touching or looking at my pda.
No this does NOT work with the wizard because i don't use it as my music player and i don't know if it supports a2dp profile but it works flawlessly with my hp rx3115. I also don't need a car holder for it because my pda just sits in my pocket or in the glove compartment. One feature i love about this is the fact that i can take out my rx3115 and control the music from 15ft outside the car.
I know its possible to send audio from an Android phone via bluetooth to a PC using the a2dp profile. But I want to do it the other way. Connect the phone to my amplifier and send audio via bluetooth a2dp from my laptop.
I've searched but not found. Anyone know it it's possible?
I think the standard BlueZ stack can't do this. I think the Broadcom BTLA stack might be able to do this ... IF you have the Broadcom Bluetooth chip inside.
Hi Pananza,
did you have success to use an android device as a2dp receiver? I'm looking for a solution but I didn't find anything useful.
The only solution that I have found is to use the NDK to access the BlueZ stack, but I'm not sure if this is the right way.
Thanks

Using phone as A2DP receiver
Hello
I would like to do this too, have a Sony MW600, and it works perfect with laptop or my HTC Desire, but it can not be charged and used at the same time..
Will it be possible to do this on an Android that is not rooted?
Did anything ever come of this? I'm looking for an app that would allow android to receive bluetooth a2dp or whatever the basic format is (mono ok), and output audio on the headphone jack of the phone. Bass ackwards to what all other apps i've found are doing. I've always been a "special needs" user

any update on this?
Wanting to use Android OS in the dash of my vehicle hooked to the audio system and use bluetooth a2dp to connect to mobile phones to play media through the system.
I'm looking for a similar setup. Has anyone found a way to turn android into an a2dp receiver?

You can transform your device into a wifi music receiver with the app called soundwire, you must install a server on your pc to stream audio from your pc to your android device. I didn't find anything with bluetooth.

Same here. More and more people are going to have "last years" android phone lying around doing nothing and this would be an awesome way to re-purpose it.
Whether it uses BT, Wifi, I don't care as long as I can stream audio from one android phone to another. What I don't want is to deal with DLNA or manufacturer built in BS. Just need google to turn on the A2DP sink profile and be done with it. The hardware is all there, just need the software to take advantage.
The next best thing is one of those BT reciever dongles/boxes. They run about $20 I think. So PSA to android developers - if you can enable this in a paid app I'm ready to buy it and I'll bet a lot of others are as well.

Did that tutorial works for you?
I've tried, but it doesn't work. My Panasonic TV doesn't see my phone, so I cannot play the TV audio thru my phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I was also looking for an app like this.
For my old phones, my android sticks, ... no progress I assume ?
Waiting the same here! My idea is to buy a bluetooth transmitter, connect it to my TV and receive the audio on my phone.
I can't think that is not possible! :crying::crying:
Truck Tablet Install
Hey Everyone,
Been very curious about this as well as I'm going to do a nexus 7 install in my truck and want to be able to bluetooth additional music aside from what is on the tablet through the tablet to my speakers. Kind of a necessity due to the lack of a 3.5mm aux into the stereo. Hopefully we can figure this out!

I'm also looking to do this.
I'd like to be able to connect a Bluetooth transmitter to the output of a mixing desk, and then just use my phone to receive the audio (which I'd then want to save with something like tapeatalk).
This could provide a very quick method of recording gigs or DJ sets in stereo, and would be better quality than simply using the built in mic of your phone.
a2dp sink.
Bluetooth File transfer app can stream music from another phone. And this is where tha first phone works as a a2dp sink am I right? Can't we use that to built an app to follow it but using pc/laptop as the source?
Seems, that no one is interested. What a pitty, it could be really HOT stuff. For example, cheap android phone pluged instantly to a charger and to Car Audio via AUX, and You have got Bluetooth automatic pairing system for calling and music, navi etc.
Unfortunately I couldn't find solution for this, neither the app. It is strange. Some people says, that Android can not be a sink (reciever) in a2dp profile. So how does microphones from earphones are streaming audio to a phone, hmm?
Maybe someone will do it
I have a LG G3 and it does it flawlessly. It have a function called "Turn Audio Channel mode" on bluetooth settings.
I'm wondering how to do the same thing on any other andoird phones.
Bluetooth audio is becoming a more prevalent option with television now. More TVs have Bluetooth capabilities and more soundbar and other audio have Bluetooth reception to allow them to play audio from cellphones and other devices.
I would like to have audio from my Google TV broadcast by Bluetooth for wireless listening. My TV does not have BT, but I have found a TOSLINK to BT device which is even powered by the USB port on the TV. The TOSBlue II can be found at telme2.com. So the audio broadcasting component of the problem is essentially solved.
The problem that remains is on the revieving end. Rather than spend $$$ on a nice set of BT headphones and have them occupying space and worring about them being charged, I would like to use my android phone which already has some fairly sophisticated audio capabilities and is always with me and charged. Even with earbuds it would allow the mobility of wireless headphones. I currently have the Galaxy Note II with Jelly Bean, but think this should be doable with any fairly current android device, even a tablet or other non-phone.
So far, I have not been able to find a solution for the phone which will play BT audio broadcast from another source. An acceptable solution would accomplish this for my phone, and Android Tablet, or an iPod Touch 3g (which I also have).
Has anyone ever accomplished this? Does anyone know of an app or mod that allows this?
Thanks for any help.
Hi. I have a Galaxy S Wifi 3.6 (EU edition of Galaxy Player 3.6 - YP-GS1). I'm trying to stream audio to my Car Stereo (built-in Ford Fiesta audio). I have been able to pair my Galaxy to the Ford Audio bluetooth receiver doing this :
Enable BT discovery on my Galaxy
Search for devices
My Car Stereo gave me a pin and i entered it in my Galaxy
Now, i see a BT device named "Ford Audio" on the BT settings page, but it does show a phone icon. I don't know if this is right or not, as i don't have any other BT receiver to test. It shows as "paired" (even when i'm far from my car), but i havn't been able to get the Music from my Galaxy to the Car Stereo via A2DP so far.
I have installed a few different widgets from Google Play to control BT but no matter what Widget i try, i can't get the status to "connected" (for those Widgets that actually show a status). Also, when i try to use the menu of my Car Stereo, i can't see my Galaxy in the connected BT devices, whether i look into Phones or Audio / Bluetooth.
I guess i messed something up, but when searching on the net how to do this, it's always very simple : enable BT discovery, search and enter the PIN (which is exactly what i did). Then everything will work fine (actually, nothing works at al l )
EDIT : I should probably add i have Androïd 2.3.6 stock rom (non rooted). Version n° is GINGERBREAD.XXLD1.
Hello all,
I'm after a little bit of guidance on how I might add Bluetooth support to an Android powered Car stereo. It is a "Road Veles" single DIN WinCE and Android device with a 7" flip out screen. The reason I bought this stereo is to run an app by the name of MSDroid. This app was to connect to my vehicle's engine management system via Bluetooth.
Can't post links yet, easy search on Google for Road Veles, look for hit on Chinavasion
The specs say it has Bluetooth, but having tested the device out on the work bench what the specs don't say is that the bluetooth is only accessible for handsfree from WinCE, there is no bluetooth for Android. WiFi via USB dongle works great. I have purchased but not yet received a combined WiFi and Bluetooth dongle. I would very much like to have this combined dongle work with the device. The Bluetooth control is not visible under WiFi control inside settings like it is in my Android phone.
Can anybody point me in the direction of where to start with this? Can I root the device and mod to add bluetooth? Is there another ROM I could run? I have done a lot of searching but can't see much at all out in internet land on this stereo!
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance,
Arran
Hi, I'm not sure how these sort of things usually work, what sort of dollar value would usually be associated with making a some tweaks to an Android build? ...
Hi again, still looking into this. Any ideas how to tweak the Android 4.0.4 OS to make bluetooth appear inside the settings menu?
