I usually listen to my XM app connected to the aux in of my car stereo connected to the head phone jack of my Note2. Is this the best way to do so or does some one have a better way?
I thought about getting a car stereo with bluetooth and trying that,,,,,,
thanks

Does anyone know of a solution where I can plug my phone in, play music on the car stereo and then make/take calls?
Would be nice if it was all integrated - i.e. that the stereo would pause or so when I'm on the phone, and the phone goes through the stereo speakers etc.
Need to get a new stereo anyway, so need the whole lot!
Cheers,
Ferg.
This is not a new stereo but works perfect for me. look up the Motorola t505. It is bluetooth handsfree and transmits wirelessly to your car stereo with built in fm transmitter. very strong fm transmitter. Music streamed to car stereo will paus when you make or get a call and the call even comes through the car stereo. Battery is very good too. Google it
That looks quite a decent solution, thanks hotrod.
I'm a little suspicious of BT though generally, not least because of my succession of HTC devices. I wonder if there's anything that just plugs in using old fashioned wires.
Well I am using the t505 with my HTC Touch Elf and it is the best thing that I have used in my car for transmitting music, since my factory stereo doesn't have aux in jack. I have tried using a regular fm transmitter directly from the phone but you get way too much distortion and feedback and radio interferance that way. I aslo do not have a tape deck in my car so that option wasn't available. For me I had to decide - Get a new car stereo with Aux Jack in or Built in Bluetooth, get the Parrot Bluetooth ( has to be professionally installed) or the T505. The cheapest was the T505 for me and it works better for me than I had ever hoped.
I'm hoping someone more technical than me will be able to help.
I've added an adapter to my car stereo that basically adds an auxiliary input. I plug my Fuze into the auxiliary input using the adapter that came with the Fuze, and listen to mp3's through the car stereo. This works well, but I don't really like having the adapter and cable always hanging from the phone.
I have a wired bluethooth headset that I don't use, similar to this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982140
So it's basically a bluetooth dongle with earbuds and a mic wired to it. I was wondering if I clip off the earbuds, and splice those wires into a cable with a headphone jack, then plug the jack into the auxiliary input, will this work for playing music over bluetooth throught the car stereo?
Yep, this works! But depending on the BT-profile you will get bad audio quality with mono-sound...
I guess you get better sound if using bluetooth-stereo headphones. They should have the A2DP-profile!
Is it possible to listen to slacker or pandora in the car THROUGH your phone?
I was looking at some posts and it gave me the idea to listen to it in the car which would be cool.
Would this be possible by just running slacker/pandora and then just letting it play?
Thanks.
I don't see why not. If you can stream it to BT headphones, it should stream to your BT car radio. One way for sure is if your car stereo has a 3.5mm phono jack. You can hook up with a cord and playback that way if BT doesn't work.
Car doesnt have bT and the AUX is there BUT we would need to go to dealership to make it actually work...no connection ;/ ...so I'm going with a FM transmitter (No tape deck either ) haha...thanks for the reply.
A BT-capable radio is less than $200 and provides the ability to make/answer phone calls hands-free, something most states are requiring by law these days. My Sony MEX3700BT works great and also has a USB slot on front for thumb drives as well as a 3.5mm mini jack for corded connection.

yeah i installed a sony xplod stereo for my brothers car which he got for around $70 and it had BT, Aux in, and usb.
Hi guys, I’ve just bought myself a new car with Bluetooth handsfree built in.
Unfortunately this is handsfree only and doesn’t support audio streaming… .
I’m fitting an aftermarket solution to run an aux cable into the head unit but I’d rather have a Bluetooth connection.
So my question is, if I put a Bluetooth audio receiver on the end of the aux cable will I be able to connect my note 2 to both the Honda Bluetooth for calls and the Bluetooth audio receiver (don’t know which one to buy yet, simultaneously?
Would really appreciate your help with this one!

hi there....
i am looking for a new bluetooth to aux adapter to listen music/navigation/google now etc when driving my car.
My car stereo doesn't have built in bluetooth but got an aux plugin and i tried 2-3 different kits that works quite good except for the volume level that is always lower than fm radio (15/20 for radio means 35/40 from aux)
I thought was because of the aux input until plugged my chromecast audio and find out how loud and rich is the sound i can get from the aux plug with a good source.
Unluckily CA is not a solution, so i'd ask if anyone knows a bluetooth to aux adapter that has the same (or near) quality that can experience with a CA.
Also had a chance with usb DAC that is great, but i don't want cables....
