Just read a blog on Chip Online that HTC Connect will get released soon.
Firstly it will only work with dlna, but in the near Future we can for example stream music to our car radio just over Bluetooth or Stream with nfc and so on and so on :-D
Here is the link, but its German google translator for those who don't understand

Well, as far as I know streaming over BT works with car radios (I've tested with Audi RMC)...

how did you do this? I tried but didn't succeed, although I am not quite sure it is possible (although it works for phone calls)
i have had no problems with streaming to my samsung home cinema system and my pioneer car stereo head unit. just connected it to the car and selected bt audio and away it went.
I stream by a2dp all the time. Works great.

In the past I have used my HTC hero with my cars stereo to talk to people and also play my music as it is able to do both. For some reason though it looks like HTC has taken the option to play music through my car kit out of the Desire as all I can do is use the phone feature.
Does anyone know why this has been done and is there a way of getting it to do as the hero did with an apk.? Or am I being stupid here and missing something real simple?
Cheers

I got my desire yesterday and the music plays back over bluetooth to my headunit without any problem. I'd suggest re-pairing.
I too can confirm it works correctly with my new ford fiesta, using the standard bluetooth
Cheers for the feedback. I will try re-pairing again and see if it was just a bad original set up.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Cheers

I have a strange Bluetooth issue: I can't even find my Bluetooth headset with my HTC One X.
But the Bluetooth headset works perfectly - I can easily find it with my HTC Desire or any other phone.
The headset itself of-course is in pairing-state.
Might this be due to only Bluetooth 2.0 capability of my headset?
As you know HTC One X has Bluetooth V 4.0. Is this backwards compatible to Bluetooth 2.0?
Anyone else experiencing such issues?

It's supposed to be. But as we all have experienced at one time or another BT is an imperfect technology. I've been lucky. All my BT devices work fine. The One X actually connects much faster to previously connected devices than my i9100 did. I have a BlueAnt Q2 and confirm it works fine.
Once you do get a headset connected you'll find HTC didn't include a native ICS voice dialer. All the APK's I've found don't work. The only way I've found so far to initiate a BT call from the headset is to use Vlingo in In Car mode. Hopefully a dev will come up with a working BT dialer.
Good luck.
Argh, my Bluetooth headset was quite cheap (~30 €), and is a no-name brand (bought about 2 years ago)
Bluetooth connection from One X to Desire works flawless.
Maybe I'll buy a new headset from a well-known brand ...
Or any other ideas?
try a reset of the phone? that seems to help in a lot of cases. also, any other bluetooth connections already in place? may want to try removing them before doing the reset. i have a much older bluetooth headset that will pair with my one x. and a newer one that pairs. both useless for voice dialing without an intermediary app, but the newer one seems to work well with a paid app (enhanced sms and caller id) that will identify callers and also read sms messages. getting there.
Hmm, reset is just my 'ultima ratio' ...
Will only try it, when I get not other solution ...
Any other ideas?
Its possible to connect the Z3 to my car and to the watch at the same time?
Thanks

Works fine for me
I have my HTC One M7 connected to my car and my SW3 at the same time, so I assume your Z3 would be no different.

Yes Bluetooth allows multiple devices to be connected at the same time.

Up to what i know, Bluetooth devices can connect with 1 device at the time. No more than one in the same moment

I've never seen a Bluetooth host that can only connect to one device, but older clients devices and dumb current devices (like a mouse for instance) Will be liked to one yes...
A watch can only be connect to one, but a phone can have a watch and a mouse and headphones all connected at one.
It really depends on the profile type

I can connect my z2 to my sw3 sbh52 and ds4 all at the same time since both our phones support Bluetooth 4.0 you should be able to do the same
The answer is yes, obviously, and independent from the Bluetooth version: any smartphone can connect to multiple Bluetooth devices.
What can no be shared are profiles: only one of the devices can be the target for some of the profiles. Eg: the headset profile: the phone needs to know which device should redirect sound to. Similarly for media streaming.
Android Wear smartwatches do not support the headset or media streaming profile from the phone, so they will not interfere with other devices.
If connection With Car is with remote sim access, connection with smartwatch same time won't work
How to connect simultaneous Bluetooth devices
I'm curious to know how you're connecting multiple Bluetooth devices to your smart phones, as the (esp) Sony site explicitly states that you can only connect one Bluetooth device at a time to the phone. I'm extremely interested in how to do this, since I have recently purchased the smartwatch 3 and wish to also use my Bluetooth headset and/or Kenwood car stereo to connect simultaneously.
You can connect many bluetooth devices with bluetooth to your smartphone, but you can connect one bluetooth device for each kind of devices. For example you can't connect 2 bluetooth headphone at the same time, but you can connect headphone, smartwatch, odb for car data, etc at the same time!
That's right. My Xperia is connected with headset, smartwatch and heart rate Monitor same time. All working together with my Training App.

Interestingly enough now that there is a need for multiple devices to be connected via bluetooth at once, I thought that this would be a problem. I used to just have my phone connected to either my bluetooth surround at home or my car or something else like a laptop. Never more than one thing at once. Then I got the SW3 and tested it. The very first time I got in my car and the watch was connected, my phone connected to bluetooth but it could not connect all the way. After that, I turned of bluetooth on my phone, turned it on again and it reconnnected to the car and the SW3 perfectly. I love it. I have a 2011 Rav4 Premium with Toyota Blulogic, a Sony XperiaZ, and now the SW3. It is a great triad in my opinion, but I would love it if my phone got the Android L update soon so that the SW3 and the phone could match a bit more....OCD I guess LOL
I think this is not double Bluetooth, but how the Bluetooth le protocol works. You could always connect more than one device at the same time (to most phones). You just could not use the same protocol at the same time. So, a keyboard and headphones wprk together with your phone. The bluetooth le, is a separate beast. So, it should work at the same time as things like your car or head phones. The cool thing is that our watch can connect to headphones (and maybe other devices) without a phone.
I've searched and looked, and I can't seem to find a complete answer to exactly how the bluetooth works on these things.
As far as I can tell; there is the native bluetooth manager that's built into Android, and then a Bluetooth app. Seems like the app is used to make calls and stream from the phone?
I've also read that there cannot be an OBD2 sensor and a phone connected at the same time? I remember reading somewhere that's because Android doesn't actually handle the bluetooth itself, so if I were to get a bluetooth dongle, would that fix this?
FYI, I have a joying headunit and I have been using the Torque app w/ a Bluetooth ODBII adapter and received calls while both are connected. But yes the Bluetooth profiles that come with these units are very limited and basic.

What is your process in getting them to work together?

I remembered that I had another BT OBD2 adapter. I was using this one and couldn't get it to work, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011NSX27A/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_F0mqxbPZDQSQ5
I then pulled out my old one, (not this exact one, but looks identical) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EQ57BE8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_b8mqxbA6SEVRV and now they both are working together.

Is it possible to get DashCommand working on these units? I like it better than torque.

Sure no problem, and what I did is just buy a self powered USB hub and stick an additional Bluetooth dongle in there (android compatible, costs about $4) and pair with both.
Never had a problem with any of them
Hello,
The BT module in these devices are not an internal device, rather an external BT chip. There is no direct data line between device and BT chip. Basically they send commands and share metadata over serial port. Thats all about so dont consider it is a native bluetooth device.
Looks like a few people found fixes to this, but unfortunately i am not one of them. I tried switching the AVRCP version to 1.3 which led to a successful connection and the phone connection to work. However, media still does not work. My car is a 2018 Toyota Camry XSE. iPhone connects with no issues. I'm a tad bit upset I bought a brand new car and new phone only having to resort to using an aux cord
Wondering if there are any lucky people out there who got their connection to work with any different methods?
I can use the phone for making calls, but Bluetooth audio doesn't work (Audi A4 B9 MMI+).
My workaround is using Android Auto for music playback, this at least works. But I hope Google will fix this...

Same here. Unfortunately, Toyota doesn't support Android Auto...I believe android 8.1 is supposed to be released today so maybe moving off of beta into that will work
So you can't play music over bluetooth to your car? That sucks. Music over Bluetooth works fine for both of my cars. Wonder what the issue is

I have an Audi S4 B8.5 MMI+ and I haven't had any issues with bluetooth connectivity for music or calls on any OS. The only concern I has is with Pandora the clock counter for the song didn't always register, but I thought that had more to do with the app as Spotify worked correctly.
Bluetooth works fine on my Jeep Cherokee 2017. However I don't get audio songs names , that was on 8.0 though. I will try tomorrow with 8.1 on.

Maybe the head unit needs a software update, those are available all the time. I know Toyota will just tell you that your phone isn't on the "list" of approved phones and that the issue is with you phone because it's got too new of an OS.
