I used my s3 to bluetooth stream music to my KIA Rio (non uvo) system
No problem connecting and it stay connected all the time
I can play and pause and mute no problem
My main gripe is the steering wheel control to change (next/previous) does not work
I don't think this the limitation of my kia- other owner claim to have no problem with this
Any help

does anyone know if you can send the google navigation voice over BT to a BT speaker/car kit?
Yep, works for me - it interrupts any music you may be playing from the phone.
And how do you do it? I have a Nokia Bluetooth carkit which works fine for phone calls but I don't know how I can play music or have the navigation voice speaking through the car speakers?
@thewebface
What make of car kit do you have thewebface? I suspect a lot of the bluetooth features depend on the carkit.
thanks

It's an original Nokia CK-7W.
I've got a Motorola T505 bluetooth carkit / FM transmitter and Desire does work fine with it for both navigation and music. Out of the box configuration, no parameter setup needed.
The feature I liked most was that I could set up individual volume levels for each application running in parallel (i.e. max volume for calls, 2/3 for navigation, 1/3 for music) and then control the general volume from the car stereo.
I've got Bluetooth built in to my car, will this do the same thing?
Didn't even know you could do that! I bought Co-Pilot, is it possible with that too?
Would be great if it was as at the moment Im using Front Aux on the head unit which is cutting out all the music!
Hi
I would like to know if its possible to have my phone paired to both my car bluetooth system which uses the hands free profile and to a second device which uses a2dp. Can both these be in use at the same time?
Thanks

Hi as far as im aware the Desire doesnt have multipoint capabilities which enable it to connect to 2 devices at the same time if you want to be able to stream music and take calls while in the car a good device is a venturi mini which does it all take a look on their website www.myventuri.com

Thats a shame , my car has an integrated voice controlled satnav/bluetooth so was hoping it would pair with both but then chop the streaming music when a call came in.
Actually it does work.
I've just tried connecting to my Bluetooth speakers and my Bluetooth handsfree set simultaneously. Obviously I had to set the handsfree to "Phone Audio Only" and the speaks to "Media Audio Only", but once I done this I could play music wirelessly to my speakers, and when a call came in the music paused and the headset took over. Once the call had finished, the music restated.

So this is what I am trying to find out.
I use my SIII in my truck as a media player on long trips hooking it up to my car stereo's line-in input.
What I want to do is to mount a mount/cradle so I can leave the SIII securely mounted/seated somewhere on the dash board and control the music player apps ( Playerpro or the stock music player) through a handheld wireless remote control.
I know the SIII does not have IR receiver so that is out but is there a way to hook up a BT or wifi remote so I can safely control the music playback and navigate up/down folders of music while driving?
Thanks for any ideas you guys might have on this.
I agree it would be useful to have a physical remote with real tactile buttons for use in car, bike or running.
As far as I know, currently the closest option would be a bluetooth remote as there is a bluetooth profile for media control. However, I think it's probably somewhat more limited than what you're looking for. I believe the profile is limited to play/pause, FF, REW, forward skip and back skip. If you're able/willing to setup your playlist in advance so that you're okay with those controls than it should be workable. You won't be able to navigate any menu system.
The other issue is I'm not aware (but you could always try to google for it) of any standalone bluetooth remote. Every one I've ever seen are integrated into some other device. I have remote functions on my bluetooth headphones and my car has an integrated bluetooth sound system and can remote control playback through the dash and steering wheel controls.
If that would work for you, you could consider replacing your stereo deck with one that has bluetooth integrated then you'll be able to control playback through the deck's controls. You'll probably need to stream the audio over bluetooth as well for that to work.
Thanks for the BT suggestion. I will look into it and see if there is anything out there that will work. If I can get a BT solution working without too much cost/effort, I will gladly make a bunch of playlists if that is all that can be controlled by the BT media control profile.
The reason I 'need' to use my S3 in my car is that in my truck (2005 Chevy Avalanche) unlike the current model GM trucks, has no provision for any type of AUX input except for the one I rigged up intercepting the XM module's analog audio output. It is getting to the point that I am really tempted to just replace the head unit with one that will take an USB flash drive and all my problems will be solved.
Thanks again for taking the time to post a reply. :good:

I believe some media players allow you to control via a bluetooth headset.
Hi all!
I've recently got a Seicane HU, specifically this one, with a quad core ARM Cortex-A35. I've used the steering wheel control app to learn all the buttons necessary. They all work work great with the radio and the BT music player. The only issue is that the next and previous track buttons on my steering wheel do not work when using Spotify while connected to Multiplay (Android Auto). I tried searching for a solution but only found that Spotify had an issues awhile back but it was fixed in an update.
Any possible leads?
Cheers,
