In my Nissan Sentra 2012 it has Bluetooth, but for calls only. When I play music it plays from my phone instead of car, and in Bluetooth setting the car has call capabilities only. I have a rooted LG g2, and will be willing to try anything. Is there any tricks to make it think its a call but plays music instead.

I've never heard of anything like that?
There are $25 bluetooth devices out there which plug into your stereo's 3.5mm aux input if it has one. They work very well for calls and music.

are you sure ? all car radios ive seen have bluetooth total audio playback. Make sure its setup on your phone correctly too.. need to check that nissan sentra lol
I found out its something about not supporting one of the Bluetooth modes, if I payed for extra features it probably would have worked but I found a app called btmono, it's on the play store and it makes the car think I'm in a call and plays music like that, but the sound quality is horrible but that because of the trick they used to allow music through fake call. On the car it says I'm in a call with my own phone number
no a2dp that is ... i have an (older) alpine aftermarket unit, BT for calls is just great, but there ist absolutely no streaming going on. i use the front-aux for that matter.
Google has made great advances in supporting non-A2DP cars. My 2010 Chevy Malibu has Bluetooth but not A2DP. I can do Google Now and other voice commands through the phone system.
You do have to change some settings. Specifically in Google Now Settings you have to enable Bluetooth headset support. Once you do that, you can then call up Google Now and it will route audio.
There are a couple of apps out there that will pump stereo audio through the phone profile. But I don't recommend them. You're vastly better off with a 3.5mm to A2DP adapter.
If you want Bluetooth in your car, but you don’t want to spend the money and/or time to install a new head unit, you have three options, depending on your car’s setup and whether your primary interest is in making phone calls or listening to music. If you’re fortunate enough to have an aux-in port (an audio-input jack that fits a plug like the one on your headphones), a Bluetooth kit with an aux-in cable is the easy choice—it’s the most reliable alternative and the one that will produce the best overall sound and call quality. If you don’t have an aux-in port, the best option depends on your priorities. If you value call quality over sound, a clip-on speakerphone is the way to go; if you care more about music and podcast sound quality than about clear calls, choose an FM transmitter. We spent 10 hours conducting research and tests for this update, comparing seven new auxiliary-input kits alongside our original picks, to find the best, so you can choose what’s right for your car. (We didn’t test any new or noteworthy speakerphones or FM transmitters because, well, there were none.)
Well, at least I won't be the first one to necro-post on this...
It's more common than you think guys, especially with the older cars, *designed* when BT was available, but smartphones were new. Considering how lengthy the car design process is, I'm not surprised 2012 models are still affected.
On top of solutions posted above (well, if you care about sound quality, there's just one solution basically and TheWirecutter folks have done a lot of research and ruled Himbox HB01/Himbox HB01 Plus the king of them all), you might be in luck if there's an aftermarket unit available for your model which will plug into the back of your entertainment system and have both BT Phone and BT Multimedia profiles. You might need some tools and partial disassembly will be required to install.
There was one of these available for my 2008 Audi and while it was extremely pricey (about US $200) it's definitely cheaper than buying a new car.
i had 2010 VW and a 2011 Caddy that both had Bluetooth for the phone but not music
What is the best solution for this with my Nissan Altima 2011 it only has the limited Bluetooth.

I just bought a 2010 G37x it is fully loaded with bluetooth, navigation, sunroof, the works. Normally the bluetooth in cars are just for voice to talk handsfree, Not this car. When the salesman ran down the features with me he said that it can stream your music Pandora, Last.FM, Slacker , or what ever your favorite music you stream right to the stereo with no wires attached. You can also control it with the controls on the stearing wheel (Safety). I must say this is one of the best acceseroies I got for my EVO (and for me). I drive a lot so I love listening to something different this is the best way to go.

LOL , no 30% discount code but if you have USAA banking their car buying program will help you negotiate the car price. The program puts the car at invoice price which is about $5k under MSRP. Thats pretty good discount
I have a Pioneer z110bt in my Solstice and I think I can stream music, not sure about Pandora. I would LOVE that option. I'm getting tired of the repetitiveness of XM. But, your new accessory!
Any of the fully bluetooth integrated car systems would be good.
I have a 2010 Mazda 3 with all the upgrades and it works wonderfully with the EVO. It is soo much better than my iPhone was that it is almost shocking.
Suggestion: use Meridian as the MP3 player and encode at 320k with Joint Stereo (lame or Frau encoder). That way, you will get a pure MP3 stream and playback with the Car Stereo DAC doing most of the work. Most car audio systems (even component ones) don't really warrant the use of FLAC files.
Would be lovely if we could get some working USB host with drivers for use with many popular aftermarket USB touch displays and use some USB->spdif/i2c converters. Sven's stuff is turning out to be tres' cool to look at. Custom hardware needed for integration would be pretty simple.
Yeah, any of the newer cars should offer bluetooth phone/media(A2DP) integration as an option. Would be awesome to get the Talk to Text going through the car bluetooth and Voice command system! Ahhh dreams.....
As always - just drive and please do not text. THX!
shoulda got the coupe.
Actually you can add this to any car. Check out the Parrot Kit. I have it in both our vans, can stream audio, voice dial the works. This is the company that licenses the kits to OEM...

My Sony deck does all this same stuff. It cost like $200, and I think there's a cheaper model with a smaller screen that has the same functionality. Not sure if you can do the buttons on the steering wheel thing with it, my car doesn't have them.
For the rest of us,
I had an Ipod hookup installed in my car. They sell female dock to 3.5mm male cables all over. I picked mine up on ebay, and I've also seen female dock to male 3.5mm + microusb (or whatever this thing uses)
Have any idea if this works on an 08?

You can always add on, but there is nothing equal to having the controls be solid and in the steering wheel. The alpine and other equivalent decks do offer a lot, but none seem to integrate as well or even attach easily to the built in wire system.... one more reason to keep your stock deck and use LOD's connected to small amps in the car doors, etc.
Next step - make a plug in tablet attachment for EVO....

I own the same vehicle, so do tell how I can stream music from my phone to my car without using the line in jack (which while works, doesn't allow me to adjust anything while driving).
Assuming you bought the bluetooth option:
1. Press the "speaking" button on the steering wheel
2. Say "setup"
3. Say "pairing options"
4. Say "Pair"
5. Pick a 4 digit pairing code and say it aloud (make sure that your bluetooth is on and is discoverable)
6. In the bluetooth pairing menu (under settings > wireless > bluetooth settings) hit "mazda"
7. Enter in the 4 digit pairing code
8. You are connected! (will see a phone and a music icon it the HUD)
Now every time you get in the car with the bluetooth on it will auto pair with your car when you turn on and go.
Next step - program in all your fav numbers for it to call automatically (do so while connected to the car).
Use Meridian and MP3 files. All of teh controlls from teh next track to the play and pause will work wonderfully and turn the volume on the phone all the way up. You will never top 35/62 for volume - PROMISE!

The Legend, the Perfection, The HTC Evo 4g. This is the story of a phone so great, a story of HTC saying, "This phone is so magnificent, so revolutionary, that I'm going to wirelessly attach an Infinity to it."
The other scientists exclaimed, "You mean you will add the capability to sync your phone to the new Infinity???"
The HTC Grand Creator slowly raised his eyes, and in a voice just over a whisper, he said "No... we will sync an Infinity to this phone. The Infinity will be.... the Accessory!!!"
Minds were blown on that fateful day...
anyone know of an aftermarket bluetooth kit that will allow steering wheel music control in an acura / honda?
Well, usually this involves going to the car dealer and having them install a new steering wheel with the controls and having a compatible deck that plays nice with external remotes/controls (usually fairly expensive decks) or some sort of Parrot brand integrated control.
Most simple bet? Get a Bluetooth car kit with remote that attaches to the steering wheel and a bluetooth receiver that does A2DP with either FM or Line-out (preferred)
Go to your local customs shop and ask around, there tend to be a lot of acura/honda/toyota/infiniti compatible stuff.
hey guys,
anyone have any experience using bluetooth to stream audio(music) to a car receiver? how is the qualitly?
i'm in the market for a new head unit and i would like go wireless. i had been using the headphone jack to the aux port but i got rid of that car. i can't post links yet but i was looking at this model from crutchfield: Pioneer DEH-P6200BT
I got one for my truck, I THINK it's model: Dual XHD7714.
I've owned mine over 6 months now, run it hard, have had everything connected to it and it works well.
After I got my Evo, I started exclusively using the Bluetooth connectivity for Pandora and local media I had copied to the SD card. Never had any issues. Phone calls come through clear as well. You can even control the basic play functions from the head unit as well (to your phone).... such as skip songs in Pandora, pausing, etc.
I have it hooked up to multiple amps (full speakers, subs, etc)
No issues at all.
My Evo and the radio connect very quickly every time I get in the truck.
Not bad for $100.
I have had three of the Sony Xpload series recievers, and all of them have worked flawlessly using Bluetooth on my Evo. The only issue I have seen is that with the windows down or a loud interior the call clarity is poor, but no worse than using the phones speakerphone.
I use BT exclusively...no more cd's, no more radio, etc. Just make sure your head unit can stream...a lot of them advertise BT, but most will only do BT calling.
Agreed. I just put in a Kenwood DNX6160 with integrated BT. It's an awesome radio. The lower models require a separate BT module... How silly is that... Except that the lower models + the BT modules enable the A2DP, while my higher model with integrated BT can only do phone.

I have a JVC KW-AVX740 with built-in BT (audio & phone use). The audio is decent to good but the phone use is terrible. I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro for my calls (overall, a great bt device).
At this point, I don't use my phone much to listen to music. It is convenient not to carry another device...but I've been carrying 2 devices for so long, it's habit. Plus I don't want to compromise my battery life & phone usage (for music purposes)...as it is my primary communications device.
I'm looking to buy a new car stereo, and I'm basically treating it as an accessory for my Galaxy SIII. I'm open to any brands within a reasonable price range.
What's the best way to listen to the music that is on my Galaxy SIII right now, wirelessly without losing sound quality? I know that I can just use an audio input jack, but is there any other way? I heard that yo lose a lot of audio quality using bluetooh.
I guess what I'm saying, is there any technology like Allshare that lets me stream high quality audio to a car stereo?
I use Bluetooth everyday, with no noticeable loss in sound quality. However, it is dependant on your stereo too. I have a cheap Jenson Double-Din Nav Unit.
Bluetooth is going to be your only wireless method that will not sound like total crap , but USB would be the best quality, but dont think you can do this like an ipod can. Not sure what is needed to make these phones work like that , charge and play music thru the USB direct to stereo is nice. Id like to ditch my ipod and just use my S3, but for now it just works better.
If you connect your S2 using UMS (using "SGS3 Easy UMS" app), you'll be able to listen to music on the S3 with the highest quality possible.
Not all bluetooth-enable car stereos allow for music playback. Mine, for example, only allows for voice calls and voice commands (such as S-Voice).

But does the easy UMS work on the AT&T S3?
Ive used Sony bluetooth stereos in my car for the past 3 years. Ive heard that some other manufacturers either dumb down the feature or make you buy a dongle, but the Sony comes ready to go, no extra dongle needed.
I bought the latest when my older model was stolen. Its the BT-3900u (120 on Amazon) and I honestly cant tell the difference between CD and streaming.
Pros: 3 preamps (front, rear, sub), decent equalizer, galaxy connects instantly w/ no hiccups, change face color, Bluetooth gain control
cons: radio reception is OK (could be my antenna), built in mic causes a lot of background noise for the other person (my car is pretty loud). But it does have an option to route your own wired mic.
I honestly stopped using CD's and the radio now that all my music syncs up instantly.
I would like to know what car stereos would work with the GS3 straight out of the box. I'm sure there are a few that would allow us to plug in via USB and be able to listen to our music while charging the phone.
Can anyone confirm any models that work like this?

Pioneer makes a nice head unit called the appradio that is double din, and has usb and bluetoooth, if you use the usb, and the pioneer app that goes with it, it basicly turns the double din screen into a second touchscreen display for your phone.

Bluetooth is the way to go, excellent quality and you cna amp it with awesome beats or DSP mgr and if you is power amp, then you can equalize it further
In addition, the automation with tasker is awesome ( Sync Bluetooth > Start Player > and then close app when no Bluetooth etc )
I have two decks a pioneer dvd2300 double din with the bluetooth add on its worked the best i can use bluetooth and change songs from the deck directly and even control pandora once installed. Before i use to have a kenwood single din it was hd942u worked through usb it was fast n automatically scanned for music which was awesome.

I bought a Dual from walmart for $90. I just like you didn't want to spend too much money. for the price, not bad at all. bluetooth streaming music and movies is pretty cool. no quality distortions at all. also has a front aux in and USB port.
what about this?

i know it's not a deck. but it's relatively cheap, you can use it in another car, lots of positive reviews on amazon, and i've seen reviews on youtube and the sound came out alright even through a youtube video.
If you car has an Aux-In already, you can use these to add bluetooth functionality for both music streaming & handsfree calling.

FM transmitter is one of the worst connection methods you can use. The sound quality is ALWAYS bad.
I absolutely hate aftermarket decks, I use my motorola bluetooth box on long trips, but there is definitely quality loss over the FM transmitter. I have an aux jack for short trips, I really wish I had an aux cord that had buttons like the headphones do, just so I wouldn't have to look at the phone to change songs or anything.
I have a Verizon GS3 and a Galaxy Tab 7.7 - both support apt-X which is the newer, higher quality bluetooth format. If you can find a head unit that supports apt-X (i don't know if any are out, yet), you'd be golden.
As of now, the only way to get apt-X streaming into your car would be to get an adapter like this: Samsung HS3000 and plug it into your auxiliary input of your stereo.
Another thing you can do (and this is actually my setup in my Mazda) is to get a head unit that supports iPod/iPhone audio AND controls w/ a dock connector. There are cheap bluetooth to 30-pin dock connectors (see dealextreme) that will let your bluetooth phone connect to any iPod dock and play the audio wirelessly, but the added advantage is if the head unit has iPod track navigation controls, it can pass those controls to the phone during playback through the bluetooth as well. This will let you control the tracks playing on the phone from the stereo -the double bonus is if your car has integrated steering controls for the head unit. When my phone/tablet is connected and playing audio this way, I can move next/previous tracks from my steering wheel. I'm hoping some manufacturer comes out with a 30-pin bluetooth dock adapter w/ apt-X as well.
Finally, if you choose to connect your phone directly to a aux in but also have it on your charger you're probably going to get a ground loop humming sound. Get one of these: PAC Ground Isolator for 3.5 jacks to get rid of that annoying hum.

For my current phone (Captivate) and any future phones/tablets I buy (Nexus/7) I just wanted to know which decks that anyone out there has been using that works well for calls and playing music.. My BT Motorola T305 speakerphone is a bit spotty and would like to just integrate everything into the deck.
For reference, the devices will be plugged in while in the car, so power consumption is not an issue. Thanks all.

Jabras are usually the best for cars..try them out..
Dension Car Dock(nice design, power usb and audio line or FM) or bluetooth kit for stock radio.
I have only used Kenwood and Alpine decks.
The Kenwood has better noise cancelling external mic for calls. Problem with Kenwoods was the bluetooth features weren't the same across decks, as price went up you got more bluetooth profiles(say like A2DP). i.e low end deck has bluetooth for calls only, higher end had you could call and stream music with car stereo as output speaker without having to hook in a cable.
The Alpine was more of the same, didn't like the external mic as much. For Apple products which you don't have it had integrated Pandora to control the app from the stereo. My next purchase may revolve around how it handles the phone address book.
Hello guys
The purpose of this post is to share with you guys my recent purchase The HTC Bluettoh 3.0 Stereo Headphones. These are the official ones from HTC made for our phones. Those with Sense 4.0 and above and phones with Bluetooth 3.0 and above. What makes these different from other bluetooth heaphones is the fact that they use Bluetooth 3.0 which is a huge advancement meant from Bluetooth v2.1 Enhanced Data Rate. This newer version allows more data to be transferred at a time (wider bandwidth) and HTC has taken advantage of this by providing uncompressed audio with these bluetooth heaphones. The sound quality is so much better. v3.0 is more battery efficient as well than the previous generation. The bluetooth headphone clip allows you to use your own headphones as well!
I have made video review below
Pictures of the device and part of the manual are attached to this post for your viewing pleasure
Official Product Link: http://www.htc.com/au/accessories/htc-bluetooth-stereo-headphones/#overview
actually, it's not uncompressed audio. It uses Apt-x codec from CSR which is a cd-quality audio compression technology. There aren't many phones that actually have that codec. HTC One series and galaxy s3 are the ones that pops into my mind. Others (the ones that don't have apt-x) will sound like Bluetooth 2.1 edr no mather which version of Bluetooth they use.
Here is a list of headphones with aptx codec support, you'll see HTC is listed there too.
http://www.csr.com/technology-solut...wered-by-csr-aptx/bluetooth-stereo-headphones
Are you suggesting that these sound crisp and clean? I only ask because I stream music via bluetooth quite a bit whether it be to my Yamaha receiver or my head unit in my truck and because of the low bitpool setting in Sense I get a lot of crackling on the high end. AOSP this is not an issue. Only in Sense.
So my question is...How if HTC hasn't fixed the bluetooth bitpool issue in the software can any bluetooth device stream the high quality?
i ordered the ikross bluetooth stereo receiver, they are quite good and much cheaper they go for about 26 dollars
here is a review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6_BCQZkfg8

You can actually use any headsets for jogging and especially walking. Just depends how much wire and bulk you are willing to put up with. Personally, I have the LG Tone+ headset. They sound great and dont make you feel like you are tied to something. They are actually a very practical setup. Any way. Those are my thoughts.

I picked up one of these on the back of this review, and I have to say, I'm really impressed. I got i it mainly for running with, but I've found myself just using it for everything. In the car, at work, - the battery life is really good, and the drain on the phone really in negligible.
My one complaint... I nearly lost my phone in the gym, cause I left it at the rower I was using, but the range is so good ( around 20m without any loss of audio ) I ended up having to backtrack my whole circuit to find it
I cannot believe they did not include a mic in the clip. It really limits your use of alternative headphones/earphones.

It does have a mic in the clip, can't post a link so check the HTC website for details.
I have this as well. I have to say that for a BT tranceiver, it impresses me so much. My only complain is that I can't really monitor the battery capacity in this thing. But at least it will notify me with that robotic female voice that my "battery is low". However, battery life is good.
I use it when I'm travelling because I don't really like brandishing my One in public transport (it's very unsafe to show off your phone here in Indonesia) as it allows me to control my music wirelessly.
I pair this to some other devices as well, like my laptop so that I can use my hifi system to amplify my laptop using aux cable. I don't use the aux cable directly because it's too far to where I usually sit and enjoy my movies.
All in all, I am satisfied with this product.

Because of that sentence, I have bought this device. But NO, it doesn't have the mic in the clip.
Now I am sad and angry I didn't go for a Sony or Samsung.
I have a MW600 at home, which worked perfectly, but last month the clip lost the suspension thingy so I cannot clip it to my shirt anymore... And that's why I decided to buy this one.
But bummer, you cannot use any headphones. You must pick the ones that have the microphone on. And hence, the device is not useful for other stuff, like in-car use and such...
Otherwise, sound is good, can connect to my mac and phone at the same time and can charge it while using it. Really a shame HTC did not put a mic on the clip...
I had these other bluetooth headphones in mind:
1) Sony SBH20
2) Samsung HS3000
and of course
3) Sony MW600
Good info sudkcoce. I am also thinking of buying this but do not like the earbuds. I need something that will stay on my head. Earbuds to me have always been a fad/gimmick. Can you post if any other aftermarket headphones with mics and preferably ear clips or dome speakers that are compatible with this bluetooth device? Maybe if you have others from friends try them and let us know. For now will be considering the other devices you listed for my HTC One.
I am pretty sure any headphone with a built in mike will work.

Good info sudkcoce. I am also thinking of buying this but do not like the earbuds. I need something that will stay on my head. Earbuds to me have always been a fad/gimmick. Can you post if any other aftermarket headphones with mics and preferably ear clips or dome speakers that are compatible with this bluetooth device? Maybe if you have others from friends try them and let us know. For now will be considering the other devices you listed for my HTC One.

I have waterproof earphones by Monster designed for iOS and they work perfectly with the bluetooth clip. Any Headphones/ earphones will work with this as long as they have a 3.5mm jack. Of those headphones have a play pause button on the centre it will work as well. The other buttons may not
I've had these things since February(a nice gift from HTC) and I love it. I don't use it as headphones though when I'm home. I have an aux cable going into my surround sound and I have hooked the Bluetooth dongle onto that Aux cable. Streaming the music crisply, clearly, and perfectly through my system.
