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?

Will this do the Job - Bluetooth 2.0 Dongle Adapter
Thanks
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.

I use this Blackberry Bluetooth Stereo Gateway to stream music to my car stereo. I've used it with an HTC EVO, Droid X, and Droid X2 with no problems.
I just upgraded to the Galaxy S2 EPIC 4g Touch and it will not find the adapter.
The Stereo Gateway goes into pairing mode for 30sec. when you first turn it on, and the S2 does not find it when I turn on bluetooth and search for devices.
I've tried it on my other devices with no problems, I've re-paired the stereo gateway with a brand new LG Optimus S, with no problems. I know that the Stereo Gateway is functioning.
I am guessing that because the S2 is equipped with the Bluetooth 3.0 specifications that this would be the cause of the problem, BUT i thought it was supposed to be backwards compatible with older devices.
Anyone have any input or can help me?
I use the phone which is paired to my Scala Rider helmet sound system with the stereo working fine. The Scala system is Bluetooth 2.1. My phone actually works better with my Scala than both my old Gingerbread phone and my iPod touch. Both of those ALWAYS had to be manually connected and they'd both occasionally lose the connection from time to time. With my Ep4gt, it ALWAYS automatically connects when both devices are on, and its never dropped the connection.
Is there a way to update your car stereo?
Does anyone know of anything that I can replace the Blackberry Stereo Gateway with? It needs to be removable and connect to a 3.5 headphone plug.

I use my Epic 4G Touch with my Blackberry Stereo Gateway. Only thing I had to do different is when I first paired it I had to do a manual scan on my phone. On my EVO as soon as I would start my car my EVO would prompt me that the Gateway was try to pair with my phone.
Edit: You know if I remember correctly it seem like it took forever for it to find it the first time I searched for the adapter, but it did eventually pair.
I am thinking about upgrading from my Jawbone Icon to something else that fits my situation better and I need some advice.
My Icon works fine but I routinely carry 2 a2dp-capable devices (a mytouch 4g and an ipod touch 4g) and the Icon doesn't play nice with multiple devices that support a2dp since it does not support connecting to multiple devices using the a2dp profile. I find myself fiddling with the bluetooth toggles on my phone and ipod to get the correct device connected with a2dp (and I wish there were an easier way to toggle services on and off on my ipod like the power panel on my android)
I've been researching for a while and the only bluetooth headset I've found that I can confirm supports connecting to multiple a2dp-capable devices at the same time is the Jawbone Era.
I'd like to know if there are any others. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing if the Plantronics Pro Plus can connect to my phone and ipod using a2dp at the same time.
Can anyone confirm that other headsets are capable of "Simultaneous A2DP Multipoint " (as the Era coins it)?
New Bluetooth stack
Android 4.2 introduces a new Bluetooth stack optimized for use with Android devices. The new Bluetooth stack developed in collaboration between Google and Broadcom replaces the stack based on BlueZ and provides improved compatibility and reliability.
Does anyone know what the exact improvements are? I remember in ICS there was an issue with degraded audio quality when you had two bluetooth devices connected (ex: hands free car speaker, and audio streaming device).
My car only has phone support (no A2DP) over bluetooth, so I am looking into buying this in order to stream music. Ideally the phone can know when to send a call to the car and music to the aux plugin.
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!!
