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!

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!
I want to use my Droid Charge to beam audio through Bluetooth to a car adapter receiver that plugs into my cigarette lighter.. then this same adapter will send the audio via FM or whatever wireless into my car stereo's built in head unit...
is there such a device made?
how does the sound quality sound?
I can't rip out my stock head unit in the car... and I do NOT have an AUX input jack on the stock headunit.. so I want to do this all wirelessly if possible..
Great idea! Never heard of such a device but if one exists I'd buy it, if not someone should make it!
Soldering an AUX input with minijack that you plug to your phone sounds like HELL LOT easier and HELL LOT cheaper than any such device you want.
The best solution for what you want is the Motorola t505.
If not you could install a auxiliary input from these guys.

I bought one for my car for $45 and it works great.
You can also checkout dealextreme for some cheap deals bit it takes a few weeks to get here from china.
I've got a Jabra SP700 that is great for the job.
It recieves audio/calls from the phone over bluetooth and has a built in FM transmitter for the radio.
Sound quality on both ends of the conversation is excellent (even when using it's built in speaker), as is audio streaming.
It just clips to your sun visor but is small enough to slip into the glove box/door tray out of sight, and has the same micro usb charing port that my phone uses so no need for a second charger in the car, and battery life is great.
It automatically turns the FM transmitter off if it recieves no audio for 10 minutes, and turns itself off completely if not connected via bluetooth for 10 minutes.
Changing FM frequency to find a clear spot is dead easy, as is pairing/answering a call.
It reads out the phone number when someone calls you.
I think this may be what you are looking for. Its called a venturi mini. I though about bying one last year but bought a headunit with bluetooth instead.

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

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....
thks

I'm looking for a cheap but good solution to stream music wireless from my android phone to my AV receiver (Pioneer HTC 072) so the bluetooth receiver dongle seams like good choice. Anyone has any experience with that kind of solution?
I was thinking about something like this BT receiver dongle https://www.ebay.com/itm/BT-V4-2-Tr...h=item286636ccb7:g:7SYAAOSwBP9bjYS2:rk:1:pf:0
I would connect it into the AV receivers analog in (CD) L i R cinches via cable and power it with the USB charger and it would be always on so when I would like to stream music (either directly .mp3 from phone or music from YT video) I would just need to turn AV receiver and connect via BT to the dongle and stream music - is it that easy or is there a catch?
Also what's the difference btw BT versions in case of sound quality? My phone has aptX and I see that should give best sound over BT but when on ebay there's no aptX in any specs of any device, just in the name of the device so I don't believe that BT dongle actually has it (stupid unbranded merchandise, you can't hold anyone reliable for lying )
to be honest: never heard that this may work...
why not connecting it with a cable from audio jack to chinch in??
