'12 VW BT streaming audio from iPhone 4

I have my iPhone 4 synced to my new 2012 VW vehicle via Bluetooth (VW Fender audio system).  Phone calls work great and so far no issues.
What I have an issue with is that upon turning on the vehicle, the iPhone 4 automatically begins streaming random music (i.e. "play" is enabled).  I am not listening to BT Audio nor have it selected on the car controls.  The radio could also be powered off.  The Fender audio settings have a box to check for "Automatically play BT audio", which I have purposely deselected (not enabled).  It appears VW thought of this as a possibility.
If I don't remind myself to check, the streaming audio will chew down the iPhone's battery during the course of a trip.  If I remind myself to check, it's just a matter of going into Music, selecting "Now Playing" and pressing pause.  I can also go into BT Media and select the iPhone, to pause from the touch screen controls.
Without turning off the phone's Bluetooth, because I do want handsfree calls, is there anything else I can do to get the music to stop auto-streaming?

  • Stream Audio From iPhone 3GS To MacBook Pro

    Is it possible to stream audio from an iPhone 3GS (playing in the iPod app) to a MacBook Pro over Bluetooth, so that the music plays through the MacBook's internal speakers?
    Obviously you could just connect the headphone socket of the iPhone 3GS to the line in socket of the MacBook Pro, but doing it over Bluetooth would be much tidier.

    There is a way with WiFi, but you need to "Modify" your iPhone to do it.

  • Audio from iPhone/iPad via Airplay skipping on Apple TV

    When streaming audio from an iOS device, there is frequent and noticeable skipping to the point that it's unusable. I've recently upgrade Apple TV and moved to a different internet provider and wireless router and am still experiencing the same issue. Streaming video from my MacBook is absolutely fine. Streaming audio is glitchy.
    iPhone 4S running latest iOS
    iPad Mini running latest iOS
    Apple TV current gen running latest OS
    MacBook Air (2011) running latest OSX
    I've tried to find solutions to this before but eventually give up in frustration. I told myself that it was probably due to my old Apple TV. But now that I've got the current, brand new Apple TV and it's still happening I decided to ask for help.
    Has anyone experienced this and found a workable solution?

    Hello SebastianTroen,
    It sounds like you are seeing these performance issues persist between 2 different versions of the Apple TV. I would recommend that you use these troubleshooting steps from the following article, as it should help you resolve the issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
    Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
    Try the following suggestions:
    Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Does anyone know a way to stream audio from Snow Leopard to a PPC running Panther?

    I have recently aquired a iMac PPC, I've freshly installed Panther on it and it runs a treat. I was wondering however if there is a way to stream audio from my main Desktop, a 2007 iMac running Snow Leopard. iTunes library share isn't a solution either as I use Spotify a my main source of music and unfortunetly it is no longer supported for PPC's.
    Thanks, Tim

    Unfortunately I could get neither of these to work, probably because of my own ineptitude.
    I couldn't get VLC to output from Spotify, this could be my own fault.
    I also couldn't make Airplay play with OS X 10.3.9.
    I did however find a messy workaround.
    I am currently using Airfoil on my main Desktop to output Spotify and then am receiving it on Airfoil Speaker on my iPhone, which is in turn connected to my 10.3.9 iMacs audio input via a 3.5mm Jack.
    You need to download an app called LineIn for 10.3 (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/legacy/) to play the sound from the input from the built in speakers.
    To be fair it's not that messy it just requires you to have a device that can have Airfoil Speakers installed on it and have a 3.5mm Jack.

  • Stream audio from a source

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it were possible to stream audio from an internet radio station. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Many thanks in advance!

    I found this: http://techtips.salon.com/use-iphone-webcam-3623.html
    I would suggest the use of an analog capture card, like a Dazzle, and the official Apple Composite video cable. I'm not sure if it would work, but the systematics would be (Output) (phone)—(Input)-Output (capture card)—Input (your PC)
    I can't verify this, maybe if I get the Apple AV cable I can, since I have everything else.

  • Cannot stream photos from iPad, cannot stream audio from Pandora

    Updated to iOS 4.2.1 and I can stream audio from the iPod app on the iPad to the ATV2, so I know AirPlay is working. But, I cannot stream photos (there is no AirPlay icon showing on top of the screen, unlike the video demo from Apple.com web site). Also, cannot stream audio from Pandora (again, no AirPlay icon).
    The odd thing is that I can stream Pandora audio from the iPhone 4. But, not photos (same problem as with the iPad).
    Is anybody able to stream photos from either iPad or iPhone? How about Pandora audio from the iPad?

    Apparently what is happening, and this was brought up in another thread, and what I suspected was happening as well, is that the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch is not streaming the video itself directly to the AppleTV (it might be streaming it if it's audio only, haven't confirmed). What it's apparently doing is, is telling the AppleTV2 to download the video and play it on its own, starting with xx:xx timestamp directly from youtube or your iTunes library. This is why it's only working with your iTunes library or the built-in YouTube app. And also why it wouldn't work with the camera roll, because it isn't streaming directly from the iPhone. So it's not exactly what we were originally thinking or expecting.

  • I recently purchased an Onkyo stereo receiver with a wireless USB adapter, UWF-1, and want to stream audio from my MacBook Pro through my stereo system. The receiver tells me it is connected to my wireless LAN, but I cannot get music to play?

    New to the community here, thanks for your patience.  I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
    I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
    I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
    Thanks so much.
    Dan

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

    Sorry, yes indeed you can do that, I thought you wanted to keep the accounts the way they are now and also share photo stream between all devices, which of course is not possible.
    In order to login to the account you are currently logged in to as a secondary account, as a primary account, and vice versa, you will need to delete both accounts from that device and then log back into them with the correct account as a primary (settings > iCloud) and the correct account as a secondary (settings > mail, contacts, calendars).

  • How can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.

    how can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.
    I have LCD projector on one wall and connected ATV to it via HDMI.
    Speakers on the other wall and connected to APXpress.

    To be honest the times we've wanted to have music from more than one set of speakers, I've usually used my mac's iTunes library and controlled it either from the mac or from my phone, since they're not really the times we have any TV on anyway. I've tested AirTunes from the Apple TV but can't recall whether it worked with content from a streaming library.
    Now I've got something to do.

  • Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

    I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.  I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream).  When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD.  All device are on current releases of software.  I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV.  How do I correct this?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Streaming audio from clients to server

    Hi folks,
    I am looking for a method in which I can stream audio from a device mac/win to the server which is connected to the good sound system over the local network.
    I have looked at pulseaudio and followed the directions in the wiki, but without any results
    This was a linux to linux setup. But it seems to only get worse when trying to stream from mac/win (found these pages)
    https://labitat.dk/wiki/Apple/Mac_OS_X#PulseAudio
    http://gleamynode.net/articles/2228/
    So what I am looking for here is either a thorough tutorial/directions or a plug n play solution.
    Any inputs, links or directions are greatly appreciated, since I have spent this entire weekend researching it, and failed horribly every time

    hmm its simple and it sort of works. Their is very little documentation as far as I can see.
    I start server by commiting rsd -D -v
    then stream some audio by cat sound.wav | rsdplay -s 127.0.0.1 --raw -r 44100 -c 2
    It sounds very sluggish, and it also tells me that Only 8 or 16 bit WAVE files supported.
    Also it looks like the last update was a OSS patch which was mentioned in the original thread over a year ago

  • Droid Razr Bug.  Won't play streaming audio from websites.

    My Droid Razr won't play streamed audio from a website and won't play .wav files attached to e-mails.  That's annoying.

    Does anyone now of a quicker fix?
    Does anyone know when an OS upgrade will be available for the Droid Razr?
    Thx!

Or does anybody have a solution to the problem. If So please help me its driving me demented seriously concidering to go to android for that sort of stuff cause of the dame restrictions on apple devices!

    iOS devices do not pair with computers, as data transfer over bluetooth is not supported.
    Computers are not airplay compatible unless you have downloaded an app to make them so.
    User to user forum, so I don't care if you switch to android or any other threats you make.
