HowTo use BT Headset as Audio Device on Mobile PC (no PPC)

Hi!
Hi have bought the bluetooth headset Globalsat BT-808 (Mini Dolphin) and it is a great product! I use it with my Qtek 2020 to make and receive calls. I wanted to use it with my mobile computer as a headset audio device via BT. I paired the BTH-808 with my computer BT adapter (Microsoft XP SP2) as AUDIO DEVICE... but if I try to change the default audio device on my mobile computer (a Realtek AC'97 on the mainboard) and try to select another device, there isn't the BT headset... only realtek! How I can add the BT Audio Device from the BT paired devices among the PC Audio devices available???
Thank's

First enable the audio gateway in the bluetooth application on your PC. After this it should be possible to choose the audio gateway as BT audio playback device.
You have to connect manually to hear the audio. The connection isn't made automatically.

And How to enable the Audio Gateway? Please tell me where I can find the option in BT Stack from Microsoft XP SP2 drivers...

here is a list of the bluetooth profiles to get sereo audio to a bluetooth headset you require A2DP 0.95b Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
not sure if thats the same with mono audio
but i do think it rather likely that ms's default driver dont support many profiles at all
i would look into bluetooth software like vidcomm maybe you can install that it's bound to have more profiles then ms
ms dident invent bluetooth so they dont put a lot of efford into supporting it

Parrot ck3000 carkit + bluetooth gps receiver

Has anyone succeeded in a combination of these two with the Blue Angel device ?
If so, is the audio from the gps software also routed to your car stereo ? What bluetooth protocol would support this ? The parrot carkit supports both the Bluetooth Headset and Handsfree profile.
I think in the end, this would be the best future proof solution : buy a standard pda mount for the Blue Angel and share the parrot carkit between all bluetooth devices present in the car.
Any comments would be welcome !

Ok,
I did a little bit of bluetooth research : in order to have MP3 playback using bluetooth, the device must support the bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution profile) profile. The A2DP profile was included in BT 1.2 spec.
I've read the thread on the HP MP3 headphones, and there they have a patch that will install the A2DP profile, though I'm not certain whether it is a HP specific implementation.
Some other interesting threads on this subject :

So I expect that sooner or later there is going to be a firmware upgrade or bluetooth stack upgrade from Broadcomm that includes this profile.
The next step would be the parrot : for what I know, it does not support the A2DP profile. I asked their sales department if they have any future products / firmware upgrades that will support this profile.
So once you enter your car, you would have to enable 3 (!) bluetooth connections :
Bluetooth headset profile -> mobile phone handsfree communication
Bluetooth A2DP profile -> regular audio coming from the device
Bluetooth Serial profile -> connection to gps
With all the bluetooth instabilities with the current protocol stack, I wonder if these three at the same time would ever be realistic. Does bluetooth support this kind of bandwith anyways ?
I have a Orange M2000 with the Parrott CK3300 (it has built in bluetooth GPS)- The bluetooth handsfree works fine as long as you update the handsfree kit to the latest firmware. Also you have to pair as a Windows CE device for it to connect whenever you get in the car.
The bluetooth GPS does work but I find I usually have to do a soft-reset and then launch tom tom which then connects to the GPS without a problem.
You do loose the GPS connection when you make or recieve a phone call, I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the handsfree kit or the M2000 though, I've only had if for 2 weeks so I'm still experimenting with it!

Bluetooth Carkit - also stereo music?

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.
