Sound from Magician on mono car handsfree? - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

hi
i have got a s100/i-mate and a lot of audiobooks,
Connecting via FM transmitter gives me bad sound,
My car sound system has not input jack,
I tried BHCS stack but it does not recognize my handsfree,
Is there any way to transmit sounds (Mp3 from WMP for instance) to my car handsfree? (Southwing NeoCar model)
Thanks!

i only heard from such a software,
which will transmit every output from a magician to a handsfree.
So, it must be possible to find such a software. I will ask my colleague.
My colleague mails me the software he is using and what he tested on his mda.
OK, he uses a wizard. But I hope, it will run on our magician too. If not, maybe you can find the software-writer and look, if there is a running version for our device.
I haven't tested the software since now.
Hope i could help you with that. Oh, my colleague uses the software for the same aim in listing to hearbooks.

listening mp3 with bluetooth headset possible?

hello,
Is it possible to listen to mp3 through the Bluetooth headset?
Not with the current bluetooth software as it stands, however this will change (hopefully) when the new rom is released with the updated bluetooth.
I managed to get MP3s to play through my HBH65 bluetooth headset from my mate's iPaq 2210, but the quality was awful. It was the same trying audio from my PC through the headset (with my sound-enabled bluetooth dongle).
In the long term, it may be possible with the XDA2, but you won't want to do it.
if audio over bluetooth's quality is aimed at the quality of a normal phone it will always be mono and sampled at 3khz or something like that music will never be that nice at such a low rate
of cause i have come across stereo bluetooth headsets which i suppose is strange
stereo bt
There was a stereo bt at CES, only POC but showed promise. I believe they muxing and demuxing at the headset. Obviously needs special drivers, and the hardware at the earpiece is in a dongle, with two ear pieces. Maybe if Apple and Archos take it up it will become available.

Can you share with us how can you do that?
I don't need very good quality for MP3.

I want to know too.
Thanks~~
When I did it, it was on an Ipaq 2210, not the XDA2, so I'm sure the same technique won't apply since the 2210 uses the Widcomm Bluetooth stack. I had to install a new DLL over an old one on the machine and change a load of registry settings.
I found everything I needed on Google, although I can't recall where exactly.
Do you still want to know?
Yes, I do.
I am not very familiar to use keyword searching on Google.
Instead, i just type a sentence, and normal i cant find what i want..lol
Still looking...
Searched several strings on this, but still looks like no way to play audio (other than phone) to bluetooth headset. I have an XDA II with what appears to be the latest ROM (1.66.00)
As to why, I'm not looking for music MP3, but rather I listen to lots of audiobooks from audible.com. Doesn't seem to make any sense to have to change headsets, bluetooth one for phone and wired one for all other audio!
Whoever finds the solution, please post it here!
Well, several years have passed ...
Any one have an answer for this one ? ( How to play mp3 audio located on the XDA II device thrue a bluetooth headset ... )

can i connect my universal to my car stereo ?

hi, i was wondering if there is a wat to connect my wizard to my car stereo and play mp3's from wy wizard stored on memory card but play them using my car speakers setting my radio to AUX ? is is possible..i hope you all got what i mean cos i am not sure myself if i know what i mean cheers, cudo
I use a Sony Adapter Casette. Just plug it in the Universal and play the casette on your car and it will work fine. There are other options too like wireless stuff. But I prefer this method better, at least I don't have to worry about signal being obscured.
and what if i dont have casettee i got only cd ??
If you only have CD and no casette, you only either use BT or FM transmitter.
I used to use casette adapter but now I have a car stereo with AUX input.
If you also want to be able to receive calls you would need to have an adapter with a mic as a normal audio plug when plugged into the Universal will disable the internal mic and only carry over the output audio.
See this link, we discuss about the correct adapter for Universal in the lower part. I should receive one in this week and will post the result later once I verify its working fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54823
Which PPC are you using, Wizard or Universal? You subject title is about Universal but your message body is asking about Wizard.
They have different size of audio plugs.
sorry i wasnt very specific...i am asking about unicersal, i am using both of them hence the mistake. sorry about that
Good news. I received the PQTAA from PC-Mobile and it works with the Universal!
I have tested all functions with my Universal:
- Stereo audio output is carried perfectly to the car stereo, no noise whatsoever.
- Microphone is working great, my voice can be heard clearly.
- The call receive button on the unit is working ok too to receive/pick up incoming call.
This is a great audio adapter (in addition to the fact its a handsfree unit).
I find its a lot better way to connect the Universal to the car audio system rather than using other method like BT.
As most car mounting solutions do not include audio adapter to connect the Universal to the car audio system, the PQTAA is a perfect solution.
If you have a cassete player, you can combine it with the casette adapter. If you have an AUX input in your car stereo, thats the best.

Using 8125 to play audio VIA bluetooth to car stereo!

Hello all...
My first post here!
I found this site by googling the term "Bluetooth Toggle", which was presented to me by a Cingular CSR. Looks like a great place for information, so I know I will be hanging here often! :!:
What I want to know is, can audio files stored on the mini SD card in the phone be played VIA bluetooth to a bluetooth enabled car stereo I intend to buy (or any bluetooth device or receiver for that matter) to use as a handsfree kit? The radio is a Pioneer DEH-9800BT and will do the handsfree job well.
What I would like to accomplish is the elimination of carrying a portable MP3 player along with the phone as I do now! I have a wireless FM transmitter that I plug it into in the car and a second set of stereo speakers at my desk to listen to the audio files on the portable MP3 player. Can this new phone transmit the audio VIA bluetooth to the car stereo and also to my desk PC, with some type of bluetooth reciever/adapter/widget type device?
I haven't received the phone yet, but it should arrive in the next couple of days, so I'm trying to get a jump on getting it setup. Does anyone know if this phone can handle a 4GB Mini SD card or is there a limit on the size?
Thanks for any help!!

Well... Im not sure about this BUT...
Has your car got a tape player? If so you can buy a cassette to IPod cnnecter and then a headphone socket adaptor to your phone. This would enable you to play your mp3s from your phone in your car.
Below is some ebay links that I used, the sellers have more of the same items still for sale.

This is what I do. Works great. Of course you have to have a cassette player in your car. Another option is a FM modulator but I don't like them for at least 2 reasons. 1-It times out from inactivity so you tend to get blasted by static when getting reconnected and 2-It's another piece of equipment to flop around inside your car.
Pioneer 9800bt
I bought a 9800bt, It does work with the wizard. However you have to manually connect BTAUDIO. The phone will auto connect but it is clunky. If you are listening to BTAUDIO from your phone and you receive a call the phone tells the radio and you can answer it on the radios remote. However when the call ends your BTAUDIO goes into chopper mode after that and you have to disconnect and reconnect.
Thanks for the quick replies!
I will post my results after I buy mine and install it, and of course, try to figure it out.
I just go the phone last night and it's complicated for my first PDA/Phone?PocketPC.
I am just now trying to figure out how to get my phonebook out of my 6340i and load it into the 8125... Whew.. :roll:
Thanks again!

Hello all...
I finally purchased an 8125 by extending my Cingular contract for 2 years and got it for $199.99. I looked everywhere for a good deal so I wouldn't have to do that, but no joy!
Anyway, as I said above, I also purchased a Pioneer DEH-9800BT in dash CD/MP3/WMA/Bluetooth receiver in my vehicle, and so far I am able to make calls through the stereo which is fantastic!
The only thing I found that I hope there is a way around is that when I beam my contacts from my phone to the Pioneer, the radio doesn't seem to like the format Outlook uses.
When I beam a contact, the number format in Outlook is like this; 1 (555) 555-1212, but the radio sees it like this; 1 555 555 1212 and spaces make the dialing stop. It appears the Pioneer doesn't recognize spaces, commas, dashes or parethesis characters and just makes a space where they were in the dial string!
Has anyone seen this issue on any other type of devices?
I would also like to add a 2GB MiniSD card and play audio VIA BT to the stereo, but I can't for the life of me figure out how??? The stereo says it can do it, but I think I need to add something to the 8125 to make it work!
I have searched this and other forums but I am even more confused on what I have to do. It looks like I have to add a A2DP to the 8125, but not sure how to do it, and I sure don't want to hose it up my first month. It's not like a PC where I can just blow it out and start over again, as from the reading I have done so far, I see some folks with bricks!
I have added all the specs from my phone below so I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction!
Thanks again!!

scosche alternative
I bought a Scosche bluelife receiver and tried to make it work with my 8125, works terrific for only a few minutes and even that is after a rather stylus intensive setup everytime you get in the car.
I too have a pioneer unit (no cassette) and subsequently bought the $10 cd adapter cable on Ebay, and use a JustWireless 3.5 to 2.5 adapter with mic to connect it all together. Other than cables draped all over the car, it works awesome for calls and music. SOund quality is excellent.
An added benefit of the hard wire.... no a2dp puzzles to figure out either... That was a pain to get going on the 8125. Good luck.
9800BT and Wizard
I have the pioneer 9800bt and a Qtek 9100 (Wizard). As said earlier I have to manually connect the phone to the deck either from the phone or deck. To do it from the deck the phone has to be "registered" with the deck.
After much research I found that the reason for the need for manual reconnection is due to the horrible bluetooth stack of the MS phones. The deck automatically detects and connects to my Blackberry 7290 and a friends Sony 910i.
BT Audio works fine, once the devices are connected just press Src to get to BT Audio and start playing from the phone. Unlike phone calls the phone does not initiate connection for audio playback.
I just orderd a Sony 990i to replace my Qtek.
I had the P990i for literally 2 days. I immediately sold it. With the latest ROM, the unit is slow and menu is clunky. I use Direct Push and with the RoadSync software, it's buggy. Hardly any software available.
Things I did like about the P990, it's slim to hold and light (but it's all thin plastic). The camera is the best I ever used on a phone. Sharp and clear. Bluetooth with the HBH-DS970 headphones were sweet but the volume wasn't as loud as I wanted. Screen was crisp with the smaller screen.
For phone features and bluetooth, it was excellent. For PDA use, it was useless (to me, anyways).
Overall, I'm glad I got the chance to play with it - now, I know how the unit performs and I won't have that 'wish I had it feeling'.
Good luck.

Jason langridge over at his MSDN Windows Mobile Blog Site recently posted some info about the new Parrot MK6000 Car Kit which incorporates A2DP Bluetooth Audio streaming. Its not exactly what you are after but its a good example of an out of box solution.
See Jason's post here: http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/archive/2006/09/30/778362.aspx

Bluetooth and Wizard
The Wizard can do all those things. As you can see from this thread there is a bit of incompatibility with the Pioneer 9800BT but it does work fully once manually connected.
For the PC all u need is a bluetooth adapter, I believe Windows already provides the headset profile so the phone can play to the PC also.
You may need to upgrade your ROM on the Wizard to get A2DP support.
I am not aware of a memory limit on the phone, I have a 2gig miniSD, the only reason I dont have a 4gig is because I couldnt find one at the time.
9800BT does not dial spaces
I worked around the dial from phone book issue with the deck by changing all of my contact numbers to solid numbers with no spaces or symbols. I used a scripts of course, I have almost 100 contacts.
I've been looking at the Alpine BT adapter for use with an Alpine head unit. It apparently supports handsfree, A2DP and AVRCP. Anyone here tried it?
anyone tested the MK6000???

PDA Bluetooth working with Car Stereos?

I have been searching long and hard to find a working solution to make my PDA work with my car stereos bluetooth, my stereo is able to use both audio bluetooth and headset bluetooth with live info like signal strength, battery and more.
Dose anyone else have trouble with make PDA's work with car stereos?
I have tryed to contact Both phone maker and stereo maker, both tell me it is not campatable due to the type of bluetooth in each are different. The ones in a PDA are the same as the ones in PC, and in regular phones it is a dumb down version and the same goes with car stereos it a dumb down version and the send signals differently.
SO ANYONE FOUND A FIX?
ANYONE WANT A FIX?
Never tryed it
If u guys get it working let me know
I have a At&t Tilt wm6 cell
you could use something like the R35 clip bluetooth and plug that into an auxillary input wired to your car stereo. Then your PDA bluetooth can sync up with the R35 bluetooth thingy and would be input into your car stereo...
i assume you have a BMW tho with built in bluetooth which would not work.
and by different version of bluetooth they probably mean like v1.1 or v1.2. i dunno if that'd make it not work but it is probably a culprit.
I do not have an auxillary input on my car. And as far as the bluetooth they are different chipsets with different ver also.
Has anyone been able to connect to a car stereo. (Aftermarket Stereo)
I have a Pioneer AVIC-D3
I dont have an external solution, i actually have a Head Unit that has BT built in. It is a sony series reciever. WORKS GREAT! i use it everyday. One of the best purchases i made for my POS car.
Seconded -- I have the Sony MEX-5000BT and its BT performance is better than any headset/headphones I've ever used.
Maybe I need to buy a sony, as pioneer knows about its compatability issues and are not releaseing a firmware update to it. Any other stereos out there that work. I have had issues with sony headsets. I am a real big fan of pioneer and this new head unit I have.
I know there must be a way.
There just has to be.
I will find one you just wait and watch.
I Found It!
I have fond the solution and did not even know it.
I have been working with a friends CAB file trying to make it work in a OEM folder install.
I just happend to ask him what the cab file was.
Check it out.
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm
I have already tried it and it works great.
Infact before when I would connect to my stereo with any phone and the phone would ring it would ring the generic tone. With this plugin, it rings the personalized ringtones have for people. This is cool and all for only $15.
Hope this helps out others.

yup, i have the same one. dont know how i lived before i had it.
Also, this unit does allow for ringtone passthrough to you car speakers along with anything else that you can get notifs through BT. The only downside for notifs is that you have to be on the stereo BT function on the radio. Calls will come through reguardless of the function you are using.

Bluetooth for audio output?? Can't get to work!

Hi,
I've got a 3xx series Plantronics headset and i've got a question about using it for more than JUST calls.
Can I use it for watching movies?? at the moment, when the movie plays, it automatically goes to loudspeaker, even whilst paired.
I know of something called A2DP, but I'm not sure that my BT headset is that... Can I install something or change some setting to make the music/movie play through my present headset??
Thanks!!
A2dp is a stereo profile, should be active if you have a stereo headset and are listening to anything stereo on the phone. I've been having trouble getting A2DP to stay active on my phone as well, but I just read about a program called A2DP Toggle found Here seems to be working for me tho I'm not sure its what your looking for.
Well I don't own a stereo BT headset. Just a normal one-ear one.
I want to know if there is a way to port the movie/music sounds through it.
So I think its a bit different to your case. Anyone else?? Thanks
btw, I've used a simple bluetooth headset with my PC before and it ported all the sounds from the PC to my earpiece... so technically it should be the same case for phone? I hope there's a way...
