im trying to purchase a car stereo that has bluetooth hands free calling and is able to play music streamed from my galaxy note 2.
the salesman said however, that he cant guarantee any of the stereo units would work correctly with the bluetooth 4.0 that the note 2 uses.
...has anyone had any problems connecting to their car stereo, or can recommend a model that will work with the note 2 ?
thanks in advance.
I have a JVC navigation all in one and it works great with it.
It's a 2011 model.
yup, i have a flip screen with bluetooth and it connects perfectly, i have a full system btw, woofer, speekers amp the lot.
thanks guys .. any links for those models if possible?
If you want something literally cheap as chips, try one of these from Halfords.
I know it won't appeal to an audiophile, but if you're the sort of person who's generally happy with the manufacturer supplied head units, one of these would be a more than adequate replacement, and works fine with the Note II.

bluetooth 4.0 is backward compatibility with all the older versions. So it works !!!!!!!!!!! No problem watsoever. The car salesman should get his facts straight or quit the job
Kenwood has problems
I have a DNX7190HD and the Note 2 will not work with the Pandora app at all through bluetooth. It will play Pandora through the Bluetooth menu option of the head unit but you will not get any song list or album art, but pause and play buttons do work.
Kenwood says the phone is not supported and there is no bluetooth software update coming.
Older Android phones work perfectly.

yes , it was something on those lines that my dealer was saying, and therefor couldnt guarantee any of the other makes would work untill he got some feedback.
As far as audio goes, you should be fine, as m4sta2k stated bt4.0 is backwards compatible. I have a Parrot MKi9000 handsfree installed (old one) and everything works, audio and controls. But, maybe on some radios not all the controls are supported (and also, whichever display functions it may have), as it seems that stuff is not 100% standard across all the bt devices, as opposed to audio profiles.
Best thing would be trying the radio on the store before buying it.

To be honest, I've not really noticed or cared much as I'm usually streaming from Spotify and thus have the phone screen on and can see what's playing there.

i agree with you , it connects everything perfectly.
but instead of a track listing on the headunit screen i just see AD2P ... its no big deal but if im missing a button press or something that shows the track info instead i would prefer to see it.
what does yours show when streaming from bluetooth / note 2 ?

Was in the car today.
Like you, it only shows A2DP on the screen and not the track. Tried with both Spotify and Google Music.
My other three BT speaker devices (2 headsets and some speakers) don't have screens so I can't say if it's the headunit or the phone.
Luckily, I don't care!

Hi, I am looking for a good headphone to use with my HTC Touch Pro and my laptop. I will use it together with rc e100 or w100.
Very good sounds
Possible to fold to fit in a big pocket.
Over the head
Nothing or not much leaking of sounds
Possible to use in light sports like heavy walking
Good for music like classics, string instrument and Rock. Ofcource a lot of others to...
Good sound when making calls both for me and the second part
Today I user a Porta Pro headphone but I would use to get better sounds and less leaking.
I have looked (on the Net) at Sennheiser PXC300. I think the PXC350 or PXC450 would be to big?
Does anyone have suggestions for me?
I'm sorry for bad english...
Plantronics 590
Everything you asked for plus stereo bluetooth so you can have great music and crystal clear conversations. I would suggest the A package vs the E package as more comes with it.
If you don't know who Plantronics are - they are the mother company of Altec Lansing. They know sound.

They are unfortunately not manufacturing any more. I have lissened to them. I think that is the best you can get from bluebooth. I have looked for simulare BT headset but can't find any. Therefor I think I have to get a wired one.
I've got an extra pair (unopened) on deck I can sell you, but you would have to pay the shipping. Also Mennesysis wrote a great piece on Bluetooth A2DP headsets here on XDA. Search it and it should pop up.

OMG, my iphone is seriously going in the bin, this is a different breed of phone in every way, I have just done a 10 min video of A2DP working perfect in my car, the iphone only has partial A2DP so you can't change tracks, pause or adjust volume on the stereo itself this to me was a killer
The Desire just pairs and go's, it's smooth with multiple applications open and scrolling is exactly the same as the iphone, I love the bookmarks page so I can see the website i am visiting like suggested sites in IE8, the music player is as good as my Iphone and my iphone holder in the car even fits the desire nicely so I can watch woops i mean my passengers can watch videos while driving or parked up.
So far i have had little exposure but the experience is very iphoney and this is a good thing as the iphone is smooth as silk and so is this, I will post the video up here in 5 mins, its 600mb so need to compress it and whack it on youtube
Happy days!

Hey there,
Looking forward to the video! Just wanted to say I've been my Desire for a few hours now and it has been growing on me. I think I have it customized the way I like but that will probably change by tomorrow. I'm still getting used to the keyboard but it is very responsive, what really wins it for me is the web performance especially on WiFi.
I'm typing this right now on the desire and it just seems to scream through everything. Will post more impressions soon.

Yeah screams through everything is an understatement, I only had an iphone 3g but loading up all the pictures on this site used to take approx1 min, now it's instant.
I find the keyboard slightly smaller than the iphones so the keys are narrower, think my fingers are a bit too chubby and need to get used to a new keyboard haha..
HEy lucky guys, videos and pics are welcome here !
Cause in France (and other Eur countries) we'll have to wait for 1 week at least to touch our Desire.

Yes, so my whole music collection is streamed over bluetooth to the stereo, this is called A2DP and something the iphone could not do properly, even my old N95 was fine but you cannot change tracks on the unit itself when using the iphone.

+1 for the MJ video
Quick question...were you streaming off of WiFi?
To answer your questions, some new cars have the ability to A2DP stream bluetooth music, I am not sure about specifics, the MJ video was a youtube vid streamed over wifi I was parked on my drive so still have perfect wifi signal there
The music is the default tunes that come on the phone, they give you 7 or 8

Thanks. Man I can't wait to get mine
I am also concerned about bluetooth functionality with my built in set in the car.
I have a Hero now, and I can only make calls, no music streaming on stock 1.5 nor the legend 2.1 ROM. But I was able to stream music through my laptop and it was flawless.
On the other hand, when I had the Nokia e71 I was able to hear the phone's ringtone through the car speakers - but never tried streaming then. But with the Hero (and previously Tytn II) I only hear the annoying default car ring tone, so is this related to the ability to stream?
on HTC website they have the following specifications for bluetooth in the Desire:
Bluetooth® 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate
A2DP for wireless stereo headsets
FTP and OPP (object push) for file transfer
Other supported profiles: AVRCP, GAP, GOEP, HFP, HSP, PBAP, SPP, Service Discovery Application Profile
while the e71 has this:
Bluetooth profiles: DUN, OPP, FTP, HFP, GOEP, HSP, BIP, RSAP, GAVDP, AVRCP, A2DP
anyone familiar with these bluetooth profiles and can figure it out?
To the OP - the youtube video looks great, can you let me know where you got the car holder and its model name?
Regarding bluetooth, my car has only a basic factory installed car stereo but am wondering if a A2DP bluetooth interface like the one here would enable me to achieve the same results without me having to buy a new stereo. Is this feasible or is there a cheaper alternative?
117 quid for that adapter is a bit steep a decent stereo is about 150 but it depends what your own one is like, I will post up
the type of holder I got in a sec once I find it, I got.it off eBay
I just picked up a motorolla roadster. For anyone who doesnt know what it is. Its a bluetooth device that will do anything Sync will do. It will play music, text, phone calls, all wireless and all through your cars speakers. And it works amazing. Anyone else have it? I liked it so much i got one for my girlfriend and my father. Its simple and works amazing. No need for cd or mp3 players anymore. Spotify and google music work flawless through my speakers! Loving it!

Turns out to be FM radio. Just found it.

Been using the Motorola Rockr for a year now, love it
The Roadster look nice. Even though my 2011 VW GTI has built in bluetooth, I hate the lack of dedicated buttons for its function to make it work. I have to fumble thru the in dash menu, which though not much of a hassle makes its use somewhat inconvenient (damn am I lazy or what? lol)
I have the rokr head phones also and love them but roadster is way better. And lol i dont think your lazy i use my fathers and honestly my roadster is more user friendly and easier to use. I am an indirect dealer. I sell verizon and sprint and since we got these in ive been selling the heck out of them. And havnt had a complaint everyone is loving it!

Quick question: Can you still listen to cd's or in my case, a usb connected device (flash drive, mp3 player etc) without disconnecting from the FM frequency? As it is once I pop in a cd my head unit displays the cd GUI functions & not the radio.
You can still use them ofcourse but i dont need to i have all my cds on my phone. But yes you can still use them it will just reuire u to switch to fm when a call comes in. So basically u would have to push the fm button on your car. The roadster will stay in fm mode. Another great thing about it is it shuts off when you arnt using it to save battery but as soon as u get in the car again it can sense it and auto turns on. Its very cool

Hey, my test unit doesn't seem to work with AVRCP, and the BT sound quality is pretty compressed, especially compared to my Nexus 6.
Several people have said to go into the hidden settings menu when they had problems with their G3, but I don't know the code. Any thoughts?

AT&T: 3845#*modelnumber#
Sprint: 5689#*modelnumber#
T-Mobile: 3845#*modelnumber#
International Models: 3845#*modelnumber#
so instead of model number you should enter 815 i guess..
dont know if it helped you in anyway but...

Hey All,
I've been working with Xyro TR1 on the issue and it has me stumped. We've gotten into the hidden menu, but there is no BT Settings or a BT UI to get into and make changes to.
We've gotten into the /etc/bluetooth directory and noticed a few extra files that are a bit wacky such as AVRCP_Whitelist_toggle and AVRCP_blocklist_toggle. We confirmed that the listings of the MACs are not one to the car he is using.
My BT audio on my H815 is trash. I've tried it on 2 different bluetooth earbuds (Jaybirds & Plantronics Backbeat) and my car bluetooth (Dodge Dart) and all three sound terrible. I just plugged in my Sony Gold Wireless headset via AUX and it sounds beautiful. I really hope my unit isn't bad as I got it shipped to me(not available in Canada yet). I'll be following this thread closely.
Is your issue similar to mine?
Thank god its not just me and my ears. After M8 it sounds horrible and I have been trying out everything today. Especially treble heavy and rock/metal music sounds really bad and have distortion a lot. Hopefully we are able to find a solution for this problem. My car stereo is ok and old M8 sounded good (not great but good) but this just trashes my ears so badly.
The weird thing is, I was posting in the Android Central forum as well and the guy there has the same earbuds as me (Jaybirds) and says his audio is fine. Though everyones ears are different, coming from the Z3 which had lovely BT audio, this is really hurting my ears, especially with in-ear headphones. I wish I could contribute more than just "I'm having an issue", though.
Well it depends on the volume. Lower volumes you can't hear it that well. Especially if you don't know what to listen but once you hear it you can't unhear it . And sadly Im accustomed to good quality sound so I hear it all the time

You've had other Android phones that have done that?
I've had a Nexus 5, G3, Z3 and now G4 since I got my Dodge Dart and none of them have sent the info. I thought it was only iphones that had that capability.

My old M8 sends song info for sure and Im quite surtain that my old Galaxy S4 did as well as my old Note 2 etc. Its not only about the phone itself but the software that you use. Spotify didnt send the info for a long time but it has been fixed. And dont know about Dodges own systems as the only Darts that I know are from 60´s and I drive a little european hot hatch .
I received the Sprint G4 and have the same problem of not sending track information. While this isn't a deal breaker it's most definitely a huge con for me. So far my experience with LG's BT implementation has not shone a good light on LG for me. First it was the 5-6 times I had to factory reset my G Watch R to get it to work properly, which ironically worked flawlessly with my S4, then the 30 minutes it took to get it to pair with my Honda. Now it won't stream track info. Grrr. With no experience with LG do you guys think it will be fixed in a future update? I'm not too hopeful cause it looks like it was an issue with the G3.
I did try AutoAudio per these directions but it does not work for me. Maybe someone else could try to see if it works for them:

It sounds like your car doesn't support it, my Nexus 5 & 6, G3 & G4 , Galaxy S5 & S6 Edge all send track info to all of our car's stereos (Ford, Maserati and Range Rover).
What app are you using to stream the music to your car? We use Google Music, maybe try that and see if that works if it's not what you're already using to confirm it doesn't work from any music app.

What app are you using to stream the music to your car? We use Google Music, maybe try that and see if that works if it's not what you're already using to confirm it doesn't work from any music app.

It has to be my car then because I use gplay music as well.
Well my car supports it but G4 can't do it

I thought it was just me with the bluetooth issue. Just upgraded from the Note 4 for the G4 on Wednesday and noticed the crackling audio issue with my Plantronics Voyager Legend headset. I wasn't having this issue with my Note 4. I guess we have to wait on a update from LG for this fix. Could be a Lollipop issue with 5.1, maybe 5.1.1 will address bluetooth and phone running hot issues.

I got in contact with the seller on eBay. They will do an exchange for me. Will update if that fixes the issue.
I love the phone but.... There is ALWAYS something or other that doesn't work the way it's supposed to.
Bluetooth is a pain in the b+*#!
I have never been able to get it to work consistently. WiFi cuts in and out when it wants to etc.
It's a great phone but for international it is several steps behind the OnePlus.
Anyone else having trouble?
Yeah. When I use Bluetooth wifi has some issues. I had this also with previous xiaomi phone.
Sad that they've put such a low quality wifi-Bluetooth module into a flagship smartphone.
