Here is the specifications:

I found this Bluetooth car unit last weekend and would like to share with you all.
In my own experience, this is the best one I ever tried.
LiquidAUX™ Bluetooth® Car Kit
http://us.kensington.com/html/14484.html
I got it for total $75 in Comp USA. This unit plugs directly to car cigaratte power plug, and the 3.5 mm audio jack plugs to your car AUX port. Yes, its designed for car stereo that has an audio AUX plug. I know there are some products that also integrate FM transmitter for feeding the audio to the car stereo, and I have tried those, but this one is much better if your car has an AUX input and you simply need to add a bluetooth connection to your phone.
The microphone is very good, even though my power plug in deep buried, and I was thinking to extend the plug with an extension cord, but indeed it still works well.
It auto connect to my HD when I turn on the car, and it transmits both phone and music (A2DP) with a very good sound quality.
It comes with a remote control that you can tied to your steering wheel to make it even better. Our HD does not have a DPAD and controlling music playing has been a challenge in the car. With this remote, all those issue no longer there.
I used to use a direct cable connection to connect my HD to my car stereo, and sometimes when I simply forget or feel lazy and just want to go right away, I will not be able to accept call or play music from my HD. With this BT connection, when I walk in to my car and switch it on, it auto connects to the HD, and the remote works right away to start playing music or make a phone call.
The previous BT dongle I used to have, such as the itech BT dongle, or the Jabra BT dongle, I always have issue to swith them on, swith them off, and sometimes it does not connect, and then have to remember to charge them once in a while.
With this unit, I don't have all of those issues, and it simply merges together nicely with my car stereo as if it has BT integrated.
I highly recommend it, if you have a AUX port in your car stereo. If you have a casette player, it should work also, but you would like to use a coupler to connect the both 3.5 mm audio jack together.
I got one of these from for about £40 from Amazon, but I had the problem of the cig lighter always being on show, which was annoying.
I go this handsfree kit, http://www.parrot.com/uk/products/hands-free-car-kits, which is by far the best I have ever used. Has full iPod support, 3.5mm jack and usb support.
Full colour screen and phonebook storage / voice dial.

Yep, parrot really works fine both with my HTC Touch Cruise(P3650) as the HTC Touch HD
I use the xcarlink USB/SD adaptor with bluetooth module. It plugs directly into the CD changer port of the stereo, allows me to charge my phone via the USB port whilst streaming audio through the bluetooth connection. Audio auto-pauses when I receive calls, which also use the stereo speaker system and music functionality is controlled via the normal stereo controls or the cars steering wheel controls. Track time, etc., is displayed on the normal car stereo display.
There are a few functionality niggles, but they are easily overcome with a dash mount for the phone and a skin for mobile media player that has large buttons. I designed a skin, just for use in the car, so everything is really easy now.
For the love of me I cannot figure out how to play music on my phone over my bluetooth headset......
Running Skiiny4g and a motorola H680 headset..... no music but calls work

Some phones don't support music through a bluetooth headset. Last phone I had that supported this was either my Motorola Razer v3m or Samsung Instinct s30. I have a Motorola H500 earpiece myself.
Find out if your bluetooth headset supports A2DP profile, I'm using SE MW600 and Photon is able to stream music to it.
I have s305, perfect! H680 is not supported, sorry!
I can easily stream music to my bt and my car's stereo.. so might be your bt that doesn't support it because the Photon does.
The headset is definitely the problem. It doesn't support media audio, and most headsets of that type don't.
A2DP has to be a feature of the blue-tooth head set.
My Photon streams good to my Jawbone Era / Jambox and most of the time its ok streaming to the deck in my truck.
Go into your Bluetooth settings and select and hold down your finger over the Bluetooth device and a box will pop up. Double check your options selected. However I don't think your headset supports a2dp.

Per Motorola, incorrect. The H690, which replaced the H680 only does calls, not music. If you look at the Motorola Silver Elite, that will let you play music.

( hate beating a dead horse but sometimes it's just not dead enough )
Motorola s9-HD Stereo bluetooth head sets on new egg for 29.99 or something like that. Almost 100 off retail, they should good and the battery lasts me all day at work. Never had a problem pairing on CM7. The s10s are little more, but they have bad reviews, and they say the s9 sounds better.
Figured i would throw this out there.
I've recently bought these items for the car:
Suction Mount
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231075692419
Car Charger
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221275878538
USB 3.0 Cable
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271214509031
Bluetooth Music Receiver
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231013811746
I used them during my working day and was very pleased, the charger charged at about 4-5% per hour on sat nav using google maps and bluetooth streaming using deezer.
The cable is good quality and the bluetooth receiver sound quality is spot on, no breaks or anything.
All in all excellent results from £20 worth of kit
Is it safe to use otg cable for charging my Bluetooth headset SBH50 on the go using my note 3 battery as charging sorce????
By the way, been using SBH50 for more than a month now have no problem recommending this device to anyone looking for a wireless Bluetooth option for cellular or audio listening needs I'm definitely impressed with its functionality and sound quality. However the battery charge do not last more than two days even without use at all (standby only) and less than one day with light use (about one hour calls) although sony says that SBH50 minimum Rated Talk Time: 8 hours, and Minimum Rated Standby Time: 400 hours
I don't know if it is my Headset problem or it is actual battery life for this type of sony headset ??
I've had the S21 for a few days and I've been using it in my aux-only car with a 3.5mm dongle. When I activate google assistant, it doesn't use the phone's microphones because it's trying to use a nonexistent auxiliary microphone.
Is there any way to force it to use the builtin mics while using an aux dongle?
I don't know of any way, but a workaround might be to use something like this gadget, I use this in our old Acura which only has an aux-in. This little device has a built-in mic.
