Will this do the Job - Bluetooth 2.0 Dongle Adapter

I'm not an expert on these things, but I believe you need to make sure that whatever device you getting can handle A2DP. That's the Bluetooth profile that allows for High Quality audio to be transmitted through BT. What I'm not sure is if the A2DP is a software controlled, or hardware controlled thing.
Followup: I did find this device:
http://usa.asus.com/Product.aspx?P_ID=kMQYNVBNRWehBd3U&content=specifications
Which specifically lists A2DP as one of the supported profiles, so based on that it might be a hardware thing. BTW, the A2DP for this device is only supported on a Windows Machine, not Mac.

HP BT Headphones (FA303A) and non-IPAQ devices.

Hi all,
Sorry for my poor english...
Has anyone had any experience using a HP BT Headphones (FA303A) with non-IPAQ devices?
I looking info if it is compatible with my ACER N311 but not able to find any info about compatibility between the two. Would installing appropriate drivers work?
RE-HP BT Headphones (FA303A) and non-IPAQ devices
Hi...just wanted to drop a line as to what I have found out on this subject.
Your question can only be answered if you know a little more about your device..
1) Which bluetooth stack are you using (Broadcom/Widcom or Microsoft)
2) Does you device support the A2DP function already (should be listed in your bluetooth options)
2a ) If it is not listed in your bluetooth functions, you will need a driver for the Microsoft stack (it is supplied with the headphones)
OR
2b) you will need to find, download and install the Broadcom/widcom bluetooth patch..
In either case (2a or 2b) if you have researched the issue and installed the driver or patch... the High Audio definition should show as a new function in your bluetooth.
If it does you can then "pair" the headphones with your device and test the functionality...
If someone could post the driver for the IPAQ Bluetooth Stereo Headphones, I would be more than happy to test this all and give everyone the results....
Last note: It cold also be that you device can then (if the patch or driver work correctly) pair your device with any other device (i.e. car radio etc. that also supports the A2DP function. This is what I am looking into now but HP is not posting the driver for the headphones so I cannot download or test.. They only offer an update to the drivers ...and this is only for the PPC 55xx model...
If someone can post the drive let me know !!!
Hope this helps you...
RE2-HP BT Headphones (FA303A) and non-IPAQ devices
I have noticed that your device has the Mobile 5 software.
I have read that microsoft and HP are working on a bluetooth upgrade for the A2DP profile... as such, you may want to consult support for your device and ask the question "will there be an update to support A2DP function"?
Till now this upgrade is being discussed on only selected models (not all devices), but from what I gather the devices in question are only the devices with Mobile 5 on them ...
Hope this helps as well

if your unit support a2dp: yes
Broadcom: High Quality Audio
MS: Wireless Stereo
the passcode for pairing is 0000
however, it's highly recommended to put reinforcement on the headband to prevent notorious breaking

[REQ] Audio Stream via Bluetooth Handsfree?

Hi,
I am looking for a way to stream audio from the Touch HD to my Car. Unfortunately the cars built-in audio system doesn't support bluetooth. But there is that handsfree-thing, which works really great with calls. So I wondered, if there is a software solution that streams my music from the phone as "incoming call" to my car?
I've tried "acbToggleBT" and "BTASP" and both didn't work in the Car, but they did work with a bluetooth headset.
It would be really great if somebody knows, finds, posts, programs or has an solution.
Thanks in advance!

I can't remember but there was an option to route normal audio to the bluetooth handset in my HP iPAQ which is missing from HD.
Believe me music streaming to HSF device will be as good as listening to AM radio on poor reception. Go get a bluetooth A2DP profile audio headunit like Sony - MEX-BT2500 (this is the one I use and works like a charm).
Thanks for your reply.
Perhaps I took the wrong words to explain what I am looking for.
The thing I want is a piece of software that "imitates" an incoming call and sends the audio from S2P to the handsfree of my car.
Maybe this explanation is a bit better...?
[edit]
have you tried BT Audio
it's a paid app
acbToggleBT always worked for me
try this
There are 3 apps
btaudio on
btaudio off
bttoogle (on/off)
i made a cab file for it

Excellent. I can get this to work via bluetooth headset.
Unfortunatley this didn't work in my car (which is what I believe the OP wants).

ausi - does this work on a car stereo i.e. does it emulate an incoming phone call?

All i can say is this based on using it on my HD with WM 6.1 & 6.5 (Dutty ROM):
Once you install the program and then execute it (Press On):
It will transfer all Music & Audio from Movies (Core Player) etc. to my BT Nokia Headset or my BT Car Speakerphone (Motorola T305), i do not have a Radio BT set so i can't tell you, you'll just have to try.
This Cab solved my problem as the basic BT HD ROM sertting only transfers the Phone audio while this little cab transfers ALL audio, so i would presume that it may help you with your BT radio, you can always uninstall the cab if it doesn't work for you.
There is NO emulation invloved here!!??
Good luck!
Hi Ausi, tried on my Nokia BT car handsfree but no joy
The handsfree only accepts an incoming call as stated above so some sort of emulation may be needed. Would be happy if someone knew about something...

Funny... my HD does the reverse. I get de BT audio but on the BT phone I got nothing but static...
I've got a Sony Xplod bluetooth radio in my car.
When I start up it automatically connects to my HD, however it only connects as handsfree rather than both handsfree and BT stereo.
I have to go into comms manager and bluetooth settings, then select and hold on the xplod in the device list.
A menu comes up asking what I'd like to connect as, and I pick stereo, then repeat for handsfree.
Give that a go. Holding on the device to bring up the menu gives you the BT profiles the device is capable of, so with a bit of luck stereo/headphones will be an option for you.

bt audio stream to the pc

I must be blind but I haven't found any info on how to stream sound from my desire to my pc through bluetooth service. I have a bluesoleil installed on my pc and AV Headphone service is activated. Still I cannot figure out how to play sound though the bt
any hints?
Same Here,
I have stereo audio and telephony audio gateway services, but the desire just sees it as a computer. It doesn't see that it can be a headset or a speaker... The bluetooth is really simple, it doesn't list services etc.
How do we get it to work?
make sure u have bluetooth on and discoverable on both devices. on pc add a new device, pair it. if u have w7 go to control panel .view devices and printers, click on the phone nad the bt screen will come up. click connect. on the desire just play a music track

nope, xp here. Devices are paired but nothing happens. Desire simply does not see audio service started. Music goes to dynamic as usual.
more hints needed pls
# Windows XP: Does not natively support A2DP, but newer Bluetooth USB dongles and built-in adapters include drivers with A2DP support.

iphone bluetooth receiver with apt-x

i have a mini cooper, and it supports Iphone docking. it also supports msc drivers, but with newer android phones, MSC isn't really available.
anyway, i just realized there are devices that basically (Bluewave Bluetooth Audio Receiver) that emulate the iphone, but gets it's signal via bluetooth. so i can pair my phone to it, which would in turn relay the audio to my car...and hopefully, my car would think it's an iphone, and all the corresponding features would still work.
has anyone had any experience with these? would i be able to control my phone audio via my car's control? would the headset display song titles?
anyonw know one that support apt-x?

[Q] Media device controllable by android that connects via Bluetooth

I wasn't sure how to condense this into a title. I am looking for a device similar to the lingo ivy (which I can't find for sale).
I would like a device that has a built in fm radio reciever tuner that I can connect to via Bluetooth and control from my android tablet. I Would also like this device to receive streams from my tablet for my own music.
I plan on using this for a carputer, I was thinking of using a Bluetooth speaker with built in fm function and hacking it up so I can connect the bt speaker wires to an amp and then to my car speakers but I can't find one
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
