Thread: Car Bluetooth Dongle

  1. #1

    Default Car Bluetooth Dongle

    My car has a USB port which is great, but it also has software by Microsoft which isn't. This means if I want to play music through the media player I have to use a flash disk since the software won't allow me to pair up my phone (iPhone 4S) and the car. I was wondering if there was a USB dongle I could stick in there that broadcasts bluetooth, that way I could connect to it and play music through my car speakers and it should also function the same as the cars normal bluetooth system which works fine. I think the protocol I am looking for is A2DP but I am not sure and I am not sure if my phone would even support this. Other than that I'm not sure what my options are since the flash disk tends to get a bit irritating.

    Might help but you will need an aux port. Not sure if there are any that do USB only

    Yeah the blue&me, dunno why they didn't add in bluetooth A2DP. I think you are stuck with it. But it does play .wpl files so not all bad

    Ive got a whole bunch of MP3's on a flash disk but it would have been so much more convenient to find a way to get my iPhone to pair with it. It seems it works for some people and not for others. I guess this is what happens when you pair Italians and Microsoft together. On that note, any decent smoking kit to iPhone chargers around?
