I suppose we still need to plug in headphones to serve as an antenna, but anyway, is it possible to redirect sound from FM radio to bluetooth? I would like to use my BT headset when on a bike.
Thanks!
I purchased a bluetooth headset to use whilst on my bike and the FM radio doesn't work through it :-( as soon as you plug the headphones in it disconnects the bluetooth headset. I was a bit gutted as I like listening to the radio but considering the reception is a pile of crap I listen to last fm and my media files.
hope that helps

is there possibility to use cable headset like BT headset with AVRCP?
BT stereo headset are too big and not cheap.
I would like to control mediaplayer from headset
I do not need A2DP because I need only to listen audiobook, not music, so quality isn't so important.
Mono BT headset (I have jabra130) doesn't work with audio streaming on my Himalaya, and they doesn't support AVRCP profile.
any idea?
AVRCP is a bluetooth profile. If your headset is not bluetooth then it will not have AVRCP.
maybe something similair?

haven't met with any solution so far.. simply these devices haven't anything to control with excpept the radio waves.. it has only jack/etc. with these you cannot control anything.
Some headphones has an additional button which can be used to answer talk. Jack connection has additional place to use it. is it possible to catch pushing this button programmatically?
I'm using an Bt Midland in my helmet and i can hear music, navigator and also speacking and calling perfectly but i have not found the method to use the Radio trasmitter.
I've the adapter miniusb jack, and i've tried with some different software like Blue Music, Bta Router and a2dptoggle but nothing happens.
same trials in tc forum with even keeping the wired headset connected still no dice
on getting fm to the bt headset could be a hardware limitation
thank Rudegar.... i'm still searching fora any solution.... but is strange cause i cah hear the BT emitting the classical sound of "BIP" everytime i tap any things in FM Radio
I think you should give a try to BTAudio Toggle. This does not requires installation. Just copy to mobile open BT and run BTAudioToggle.exe.
thanks freco.... i've tried, but the radio dosen't transmitt.
as long as I know, you have to plug in the regular headset to be able to enable FM transmitter, because the headset is used as antenna. and then I would go for btIO, you would find it somewhere here for sure
...just my 2 cents
ies...headset are connected to mobile. i can hear sound from the speaker of headset and of mobile but it dosen't go in BT
...well, tried it at home and have to say that it doesn't work either. everything else is hearable on bluetooth exept radio...think that this is a FM transmitter-program problem. it seems that it's only able to play it trough speakers or wired headphones

Im looking at getting one of these

But only if it supports FM transmission of audio from BT stereo.
Does anyone know if it does?
it works with my touch elfin perfectly just make sure you press and hold the button till it flash up with the pair sign or it will just do phone calls
Brilliant thanks,
couple more questions
whats the quality like for music?
Does it switch to calls and back to music after you finish a call automatically ok?
Does it have USB pass through? (So I can charge my phone at the same time) it looks like it does

is it possible to use this just to stream music and not as a handsfree?
i.e.
pda -> stereo music via bluetooth -> airtune -> fm to car stereo?
can i also still have my pda paired to my parrot car kit for calls and gps, whilst playing music to car stereo?

not a bad idea, i absolutely hate my parrot kit! but i use it for gps, shame this isnt avaliable with gps other wise i would all over it.
it is a shame about the gps for that i have a holox 54 got off ebay lives in the glove box and i use tomom 6
Bought this last night and it is totally excellent and exactly what I wanted.
It works great with voice command, audio sounds good, voice calls are clear.
All in all a great bit of kit.

What do you mean you use it with GPS? Im confused...
Im guessing you could just pair for stereo audio and not hands free to achieve just music streaming?
Hi,
I live in a major city, Los Angeles, and usually these FM transmitters do not work in major city due to interference.
anyone have any experience with this one? Maybe in NYC, london, or paris?
Works fine for me in West London.
The force is strong in this one...
Can I pair it with more than one phone ?
Hi,
Guess I'm asking a lot for a relatively (very?) cheap peice of kit but can I pair my wife and my phone with it at the same time, we swap cars alot and it would make life much easier.
Thanks, W
Is there any solution can use HD build-in FM Radio with bluetooth headset? Thanks
This has been discussed several time before, and unfortunately the answer is no. Even if we were able to bypass the app checking for wired headphones, you wouldn't get any reception since the wire acts as the antenna.
Currently when I try and listen to the FM radio over bluetooth as soon as I plug in the headphones to act as the antenna the radio swithces to the headphones. Is there any way that an app or mod can be made to enable the radio to play over bluetooth?
thank
