Is there any way to do so? I did overlook the manual and did use the search feature and unfortunately i'm very much so a noob when it comes to avanced smartphone users. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you are running windows mobile 6.0 or earlier - then search on these forums (or google) for "BTAudio". this is a utility that when run, will redirect music to your bluetooth headset. Installing it may be just a tad difficult for a newbie - but it is very simple really.
If you are running 6.1 then redirecting to your bluetooth is an option when turning your bluetooth device on. On mine, when I choose (turn on) my bluetooth device via the connections settings, there is an option for "Set as wireless stereo"
Hope this helps or at least points you in the right direction

Use the BTAudio. it works with my Explorer 220
BTY it isnt stereo (unless you have two of them)
This will do the trick!
This will allow you to listen to all audio coming from the handset through bluetooth regardless if the bluetooth device is mono or stereo! I love this tool!
I wrote this application because when I get into my car it only connects the bluetooth handsfree and doesn't connect the a2dp automaticly. There is an application that connects the a2dp by pressing a button, it's called a2dp toggle. You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437726
My application runs the a2dp toggle command line options to connect the audio to a car radio when the mobile gets connected to the radio for handsfree.
Before you install my application make sure you have installed a2dp toggle. Just install the cab file. After the installation you can start the service with the "Auto A2DP Manager" found in programs, you can also stop the service here. It also starts the service at startup of the device after the installation.
The CPU usage is 0.1% on average and memory usage around 300k.
Let me know if you have some extra idea's.
I like to thank te people that made A2DP Toggle and Pavel Bánský for his windows mobile managed service, his blog can be found here.
[UPDATE 4/14/2009]
I just found out that I have put the location of a2dp toggle hardcoded, so this version only worked when you have installed a2dp toggle on a dutch windows mobile on the device.
This is fixed in the new version v1.0.1.
[UPDATE 4/14/2009]
There was another bug in the application, it seems that there was a little problem with the application link. This is fixed now. New version v1.0.2.
[UPDATE 4/27/2009]
The application has some problems in windows mobile 6.5. It seems that the service runs correctly, but the manager doesn't work.
So in windows mobile 6.5 install the application and soft reset the device. It should then work. Don't use the manager in windows mobile 6.5, it creates new instances of the services and cannot stop them. After a reset they are stopped.
sweet! thanks man - i'll give it a try later 2nite. Wonder if it will work with MSVC, hmmmm
Hello
Cool idea, but it will not work for me.
I want to use this App with my XPERIA and my Car Handsfree "Funkwerk EGO Look". I start the Car Handsfree and then I switch on BT on my XPERIA after a longe Time ago (because the XPERIA BT is very Bugy the Bluetooth connects but the A2DP connection does not appear. If I start it with the A2DP Toggle tool manualy then it works.
Does this app only work on Blackstone Phone?
Bye
bug
no it should work on windows mobile 6 but I looked in to it and found the problem I will fix it and upload the new version v1.0.2, I will do it now.
[UPDATE]
You can download v1.0.2. now
Hello wian007
Now it works, thank you very much.
This Workaround is what i'm looking for a long time, now I can simply switch on BT and play Music in my car and a other affirmative effect is that Bluetooth connects much quicker.
And over again, thanks for you great Work.
Bye
Hello wian
I am again
I am searching a solution to execute a command to pause my MP3 player if A2DP is lost for 2-5sec. I want to do this with a Mortscript, do you know how is it possible to read the state of A2DP (established or not)?
Is there a Registry entry?
Bye
checking the a2dp state
to check the state me the a2dp I used the window mobile state class that comes with the framework. so I think you could find it in the registry but I'm not sure.
I was just wondering about this...
Great work so far.
- Anthony
Quick Question:-
Are you looping to check the connected devices, or are you using RequestBluetoothNotifications from coredll.dll?
-Anthony
no I'm not looping. it is based on events that get fired when a status in the status class of windows mobile sdk changes. I used managed code to write this application.
But maybe I should rewrite it in unmanaged code and intergrate the functionality to connect the a2dp, instead of using the external application a2dp toggle.
quick question-must my car radio have Blutooth?
Is your app able to transmit music/navigations commands to my bluetooth car kit? In stock my ROM is not able to do so.
My old symbian devices where all able to to that. But with windows mobile all is different.
I'm with HD with v3.0 duttys rom and cannot get this thing to work.
Any solution??

Yes, to make this application work, you have to be able to mannualy connect your mobile with your car radio to have your sound on your car speakers.
Also your car radio must connect as an handsfree control device. This triggers the making of a connection.
If you cannot make a connection with your carradio by running the a2dp toggle executable my application will also not work because my application runs also the executable.

My application doesn't provide that functionality. My application runs a2dp toggle when a handsfree connection is made.

Can you post the last lines of the log file "a2dp.log" that has been created in the root of your device?
And does your mobile connect when you run ad2p toggle?
Hope this isn't off topic.
Has anyone seen text messaging work through a Windows CE device to a head unit?
I had a Sony Erricson W810 and the HFP/A2DP worked as did the messaging push to the car stereo. (I have a Kenwood DNX7120 with BT). Could read and respond through the Head Unit...I know a bit dangerous..but the technology worked well.
My symbian (N95) devices worked fine with HFP and A2DP, but not message push either.
My current device (Sony Experia) works great with the HFP and with A2DP profile but again not with messaging.
Just currious...cwh

Yes ok, your handsfree is connected but does your mobile connect with bluetooth stereo if you run a2dp toggle. It seems that this doesn't work.
So the only solution that I can think of is that you need to set your radio as stereo output in the bleutooth connections. Then test if a2dp toggle connects your phone to the radio. If so restart the device and it should work.
Handsfree
I use Plantronix handsfree when I'm away from the car and a Parrot handsfree in the car. I want the Parrot handsfree to take over automatic when use the car.
Do anyone have the solution ????
Hi, I've got a small issue with my bluetooth a2dp device. The device is this one:
BlackBerry Remote Stereo Bluetooth Gateway. It is made by RIM, but works with any device supporting a2dp. My issue with the Galaxy Nexus is that it no longer auto connects.
My setup is in my vehicle, I keep the bluetooth receiver connected to the aux power jack and aux audio in in the center console. This way, when I start the car, the receiver powers up and tries to auto-connect to the last device. On my vibrant with Android 2.1/2.2 this worked fine. When I dabbled with CyanogenMod and some other custom roms, it stopped working but I chalked it up to some problem with the custom rom.
Now, I'm seeing the same sort of problem: if I keep the screen of my nexus on, I can see the bluetooth icon change blue, and then immediately change back to gray. To me, this indicates that the receiver succeeds in connecting but is then disconnected for some reason. The device only supports a2dp, not the handsfree profile. When I looked into the Android kernel code, I found a place where the kernel will try to connect the handsfree profile if the a2dp profile is auto-connected, but it wasn't clear if that was the actual problem or not.
Anyone else have any similar experiences?
I have the same device in my 2008 Accord coupe which is placed in the center arm console. I had an Evo 3D that would automatically connect when I would start the car and BT was already enabled on my phone. I too switched to a different ROM and would have issues auto connecting so I switched back to a different ROM. Now on my stock GN, I have to manually go into settings and click the device to connect. I see no settings about auto connecting when in range. I will have to see if the BT icon turns blue and then back to gray... haven't looked for that. If anyone has thoughts on this, I'm all ears!!

I suspect it has something to do with Android's attempts to auto connect to the headset profile when a A2DP profile is connected.
See:
# Automatically connect both A2DP and HFP/HSP profiles for incoming
# connections. Some headsets that support both profiles will only connect the
# other one automatically so the default setting of true is usually a good
# idea.
#AutoConnect=true

I have seen the code where this happens and it seemed that if the headset profile failed to connect, the A2DP connection was also disconnected. Though, I can't recall what file it was.

Strangely enough, the phone paired with the device twice without issue yesterday and failed once later on that same day. I'm toggling BT off and then on to get connection for now.
It seems like the phone and device are connecting without issue but I know I haven't done anything to change it. I'm on AOKP M3 and Leankernel V1.8 if that helps. When I first flashed those two, I still had connections issues, so switching to them wasn't a resolution.
I am not sure this really helps your issue but it is related. I wrote an app that will auto-connect Bluetooth devices. It is free on the market and is called A2DP Volume. The current implementation of auto-connect looks for one device connection and then connects another. I started another widget that will simply connect a Bluetooth device but I have not finished that one. A2DP Volume is free, open source, and ad free. You can find the open source project on Google Code. Just search for A2DP Volume.
I have been trying this for weeks and this app solved it!!! Thanks for making the app!

jjohns63 and bigdawgr6,
Any update on this problem? I don't have the Nexus, but I have Droid Incredible 2. I also run into the same problem when I use CyanogenMod 7.2, which is a AOSP based ROM. The connection is fine with the stock ROM. I have tried to change things in the audio.config but it does not seem to help. I think I ran into a post somewhere saying HTC stock ROM uses a propietary bluetooth stack and AOSP and CyanogenMod uses BlueZ open source stack, and that is where the problem is.
Anyway, it would be nice if you guys can share some info.
Thanks!
Hi
Guys I have a 2011 C Class with the Comand system in it. It has internet access which you use using the WAP on your phone once it is connected via Bluetooth to the Comand system. It worked fine with my Galaxy S but now that I have the GN it wont access. Does anyone know why or does anyone know how to fix this.
Are you sure it uses wap and not Bluetooth? Even if you're right and it does use wap, it may be worth checking if there's an option to use Bluetooth and to see if that works. With Bluetooth you'd of course need to pair the car's bt with your phone's.

Hi thanks for your reply according to manual these are the conditions that are necessary for connection.
"the mobile phone supports DUN Bluetooth profile(Dial-Up Networking)and is connected to COMAND via the Bluetooth interface. The DUN Bluetooth enables the mobile phone to establish a dial-up connection to the Internet"
As I said my Galaxy S connected to it fine and enabled the internet connection on the COMAND system.
The only thing I can suggest is that you ensure that your phone's Bluetooth is paired with your car's. If you've already confirmed that it is then then the only other thing that comes to mind is to perhaps try using your phone as mobile hotspot over Bluetooth.
Did you set it up yourself with your other phone or was it set up for you when you bought the car?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Lauk75, I'm sorry but neither of your posts made technological sense. WAP is a protocol by which mobile devices access the internet. Bluetooth is a radio device allowing 2 devices to exchange information, ie audio via a headset or a card between 2 phones.
Onto the problem. Is the comand unit trying to use the SAP protocol? I know androids support of this is fairly limited? Are there any other settings in the head unit you can change? If you tell me if its comand 50,20,10 etc I'll look at the manual for you.

Ah, I wrongly assumed that the problem was with trying to play music from the phone. I see now that it is all about accessing the Internet. My mistake.
Having said that, there is a Bluetooth tethering option on the galaxy nexus, the description of which suggests it is for sharing the phone's Internet connection in a similar way as you would do in normal tethering. That was my second suggestion in my second post above . Perhaps it is worth a try, perhaps not.

thanks for your reply. All I can say about the comand system is that its called COMAND ONLINE. No model number. Its a brand new system that's in the new C Class. As I said my Galaxy S connects the internet to it no prob. It must be to do with ICS maybe. Tried the Bluetooth Tethering mentioned by LAUK 75 (thanks for your reply) but still no luck.
Then I would gather that its an issue with the Bluetooth stack on ics. If your rooted u may want to try a 4.0.3 rom and see if that fixes the issue. Other than that I think ur out of luck. I've not looked but are there any Bluetooth apps in the market, as they may use their own stack/ driver for Bluetooth. (Worth a shot)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
On looking, there are two apps in the market which add Bluetooth PAN functions. They may be worth a shot. Search for Bluetooth pan in the market.

Also try an app called PDAnet, which enables Bluetooth DUN profile.

Guys thanks. Tried PDANET but it doesnt load on ICS. Tried Nook Colour tether doesnt work either.
Guys
Can anyone, please have a look at this Thread again. I have still noit been able to use the internet on my mercedes when my Galaxy Nexus is connected to it. I think it's something to do with the Bluetooth settings within ICS.
According to manual these are the conditions that are necessary for connection.
"the mobile phone supports DUN Bluetooth profile(Dial-Up Networking)and is connected to COMAND via the Bluetooth interface. The DUN Bluetooth enables the mobile phone to establish a dial-up connection to the Internet"
PDANet for Android seems to be working fine. Make sure you have GPU acceleration turned off in developer settings. In order to access Bluetooth DUN Mode you need to install FoxFi

Hi anton2009, thanks for your response. When I use PDAnet 3.50 and select Bluetooth DUN mode it takes me to Foxfi I then select Activate Bluetooth DUN and it says fail to Activate. Internet not detected.
Hmm... well I thought you would be able to do it without having the PC PDANet component, but apparently you do...? So this would make this quite useless... I guess the only thingI can think of would be the bluetooth tethering option in Wireless Networks, but you already stated that does not work. Sorry.
Guys eventually solved this. An App called Blue Dun available through Google Play has fixed this problem. See line 101
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16717#c101
I have just spoken with the developer of the app and their is an updated version coming out this week, the new version will be compatible also for Toyota Touch&Go navi, Tom Tom nav. , Clever GPS and BB Playbook.
Quick question whether there is an app, mod, or even build.prop edit that would allow my Note II to automatically try to connect to my car's single din Kenwood KDC‑BT952HD. Only thing the head unit tries to do when connected is re-download contacts, but it turns on as soon as my car turns on and it'd be a lot faster if my Note automatically attempted to connect to the head unit instead of the bluetooth popup with listed devices, which I don't even have considering I'm running Whompasaurus V2.9. so if there's any way I could even get the pop up that'd be great too!
I use Tasker to turn on Bluetooth and connect to my earpiece. But I need a trigger and I need to turn on my earpiece. The trigger I use is activating my map app.
So without a trigger, I don't know how to do that.
I'm new to tasker and I'm not sure how to enable the auto-connect through tasker.
I am new to Tasker too.
Task / Net / Bluetooth
will turn on/off/ toggle Bluetooth
Task / plugin / Secure Settings (separate app) / BT Connect
Will connect to your chosen Bluetooth device.
My best advice is to play around. Also, here is the first of a 3 video series on Tasker.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEhnOJl5mTo&feature=youtube_gdata_player
maybe I'm missing something here, so may suggestion by be complete off.
Maybe leaving BT tunred on your GN2 before you get in your car. Or turned it on before you get in the car. I'm assuming the ROM you're using has a BT toggle. The thinking is that your headunit will try to automatically connect to any paired BT devices. If so, the GN2 should automatically connect when the deck does it's search.
This works for me when I try connecting to Jawborn Big Jambox or Jawbone Era or other BT devices I have paired on my GN2. It may be worth nothing I'm on a deoxidized stock rom. But I this also worked when I ran AOSP roms on my Evo 4G such as CM.
If the headunit does not do a pair device search and connect when it turns on, then I would definitely try suggest above. I have no clue, and that's better than nothing.
no autoconnect on GN2
Once you had a BT connection with your car and leave it at the gas station e.g. it won't reconnect when you're back!
Sad, but since then I tried the mighty Tasker and similar apps, but was happy with the app called "Bluetooth Auto Connect".
You can define the simple trigger, when display on....
So whenever I get back into the car, I hit either the menu or start button, that's it. Without unlocking you are back connected.
The only other annoying thing that you might be able to fix with Tasker is, that right after the A2DP establishes the connection the player starts playing the last song, which I obviously don't want most of the time.
Also Play Pause Next etc over BT doesn't work too well on android.

Bluetooth autoconnect's main feature works for my xperia pro (turn on bluetooth, connect to your selected devices in automatic)
Bluetooth autoconnect's tasker plugin is not working for me. I can use it, sort off, but it does nothing. Like, "Press the button, but there was no reply!"
Well that is odd. I have a Pioneer unit and my phone connects to it as soon as it detects it in range. Even if I turn off BT and then power it on, the phone automatically connects to the head unit without any intervention on my part. Sounds like an issue with your stereo.
No stereo issue. On some of the touch wiz based roms bluetooth DOES NOT auto connect. On most (if not all) aosp roms bluetooth DOES auto connect. Currently on ma7 stock with root and it auto connects. When I was on whomp, jellybombed, and labrats

Bluetooth Connection
Hi Guys,
Im glad i found this thread, im wondering if anyone could help me out.
My scenario is, my bluetooth is connected to my car radio playing files. When a call comes in, i need it to disconnect from the car radio and connect to my bluetooth headset, all without turning off bluetooth ( preferable )
My possible solutions are:
1 ) By using automagic, ive managed to get alot done with this app, but this seems beyond it.
2 ) Getting automagic to start an application when a call comes in which will force bluetooth connection to a specific bluetooth device and disconnected from other devices.
Anyone got any suggestions?

not sure of your rom, but both TW and CM allow you to set whether each connection is Media or Phone. put your headset to phone and your car to media only. when you answer the phone the headset should take over.
