Connecting music through car bluetooth kit

I can successfully conect my iPhone to my car using a blueooth car kit (Volvo). This is fine for telephone calls and is marvelous. My problem is how do I connect the ipod function and hear my music through the car audio system. Is it something I need to do to the iPhone or to the bluetooth car kit. There is no obvious connection and the car kit gives no advice in the hand book so I am worried that it may not be possible. Any successful experiences and if so, what do I need to do?

Hi,
In our Volvo V50 Edition II (Netherlands, 2008) we have the iPod connector option installed and it works great with my iPhone and iPod Nano (3rd gen). It's well worth the price and you can control your iPhone through the steering wheel and/or the audio system. You can browse through songs, folders, artists and playlists.
The bluetooth carkit is a Motorola IHF1000 (at least I think it is) which mutes the audio when calls are made.
With the Volvo iPod connector you will get an iPod connector and also an USB connector, the last one for connecting USB memory sticks with your favorite MP3's.

Re: Z10 Bluetooth problem with handsfree since update to 10.1.0.273[ New ] Options
Mark as New
Wednesday
I'm using my TomTom GO930 for handsfree. I had a similar issue - Z10 wouldn't pair with it after the update. It was compounded by TomTom also releasing an update which I installed around the same time. So I didn't know which update to blame.
What fixed it for me was to reboot both devices (restart for Z10, reset for TomTom), clear the pairing on both Z10 (to TomTom) and TomTom (to Z10). Another reboot for both devices after clearing their pairings. Then proceeded to pair them again. It worked.
That was 2 days ago. I haven't had issues so far.

Anyone having Bluetooth syncing issues w VW Tiquan11... and iPhone4? Essentially the pairing craps out every other time when you connect to the cars bluetooth. Requires rebooting iPhone, power off/on and then connects..

Many people are finding their Iphone 4S drops connection with their VW (Passat etc) integrated bluetooth hands free system after working fine for 5, 10, 20 minutes. The only way to reconnect is to switch the car off or turn the Iphone bluetooth off & back on.
This is a dangerous fault and it appears that both Apple & VW have no solution (or are ignoring as they have already sold you a phone & a car).

Playing music via car bluetooth

I have a Mecedes Benz GLK250, my iphone 5s connects to the bluetooth and i'm able to make calls. However, it cannot play music via the bluetooth. Is there anything I can do?

Hey MacSociety,
This will not work.
The iPhone supports bluetooth headsets and hands free car kits which allow you to make calls over bluetooth. It does not support stereo over bluetooth(A2DP.)
This article will show you how to pair your iPhone with most cars.

Listening to ipod/apps(pandora) through car bluetooth

I have no trouble with using my iphone for calls on my bluetooth in my car. Now I want to be able to use the ipod function or apps like pandora to listen to music through it. It must be possible, I just want to figure out how to do it.

One solution for Pandora is to use a 3.5 mm input if you car has one. My car actually has a usb port, which enables me to charge the phone and listen to the ipod part thru the radio, but in order to use Pandora, I had to go the 3.5 mm jack route.

Connection with BMW car Bluetooth Problem. Curve 9320

I have a problem with the connection with my BMW car (series 3 model 2012). I have a Curve 9320 BlackBerry with 7.1 bundle OS (V7.1.0.907, platform 9.49.0.98).
When I connect the Blackberry to the BMW bluetooth everything works fine. After this though the Blackberry cannot open anymore the files attached to the e-mails. If I reset the device by disconnecting the bactery and restart it soon after that the Black berry can open the files attached to the e-mail. It work fine until it connects again to the bluetooth of the BMW. So far this is the only problem I found, the other functions work just fine.
Someone can help me?
Thanks

Yup, same issue.
I have to disconnect the lead from the phone before answering a call. Somewhat hard sometimes when driving...

Is there any way to keep the music playing through the headphones connected through the headphone jack, while also playing the music through a bluetooth device, such as speakers - so the audio is coming out of both devices simultaneously?

When I connect my bluetooth speakers, the sound stops coming out of the headphones (connected via the hardwire jack), and then comes back when I turn off the bluetooth speakers. I would like to have audio coming out of both...
Anyone?

Thanks Kiwi. It doesn't make sense to me though, as that would seem to be only a simple change in the operating system, not a hardware 'necessity'.

IPhone 5c iOS8 not staying connected to 2014 car bluetooth

So basically I have a 2014 Chevrolet Sonic, which used to connect fine with my iPhone via bluetooth.
Then I updated to iOS8 and now every time I make a call with the phone trying to stay connected to the bluetooth it hangs up in the car but stays on my phone.
I'm wondering if iOS8 is not compatible with Chev MyLink/Onstar/bluetooth settings anymore? This is really frustrating.
I've tried restarting my phone, removing the device from my car and my phone and starting over fresh and nothing seems to help.
Anybody else have a resolution or the same problem?

Hello sarahemilie,

6730c Bluetooth connection to SAAB Car bluetooth

Hi, I've just got a 6730c, which I've tried connecting to the SAAB hands free car kit via Bluetooth. My old Nokia works fine, but the 6730 appears to connect, but disconnects again within seconds. I've tried several times, clearing the connections on both the car and the phone. but the result is always the same, yet the older Nokia connects first time and works well.
Am I missing something obvious?, surely it should easier than this!.

In case anyone is interested, I've managed tofix the problem.SAAB have an upgrade which when loaded has resolved the problem. I managed to get under warranty, but apparently its £50+otherwise.
I would like to thank Nokia technical support, who I emailed. The only response was the automated email promising contact within 48 hours, obviously must be in a different time zone to me, thanks guys!

Possible to use blackberry music through car audio?

Well I just got a 8310 and was wondering if it is possible to hook it up (either through bluetooth, usb, or an aux cord) to a car stero system and play music from it? (similar to how you can hook up Ipods)

First thing is first, you need to check if your head unit has AUX input and it would have to be a 1/8 inch connector just like a regular headset. if it does weather it be on the front or black you can just get a 1/8 inch to 1/8 inch wire which as a headset jack on each end, one for your AUX input and one for the headset jack on the BB.
as far as Bluetooth, i have the 8310 for AT&T and it doesn't have stereo bluetooth profile. and usb, i don't think the audio will transfer that way.
hope that helps.

My wife's iphone 4s connects to the car bluetooth but handsfree doesn't work.

This used to work fine. She can make a call by dialing a number on the cars touch screen, but the call only comes through on the phone.
If I connect my 3GS to the car then it works perfectly - sound comes through the speakers and the microphone in the car is active.
What did she do to turn this off and how can we turn it back on again?
We have tried:
- Unpairing and re-pairing the phone
- Telling the iPhone to forget this device
- Turing off Siri
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

In the end I tried a full reset (press and hold the top button and front button for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo shows). Then, after re-pairing, everything was back to how it should be.
I thought I would post that here in case anyone has the same problem because I didn't find an answer in my searches.

IPhone 4S won't stay connected to my car Bluetooth

I just upgraded my 3G iPhone to a iPhone 4S and when you turn the car off the phone does not stay paired with the Bluetooth in the car. NEVER happened with the 3G iPhone. Is there a fix for this problem?

The little circle means you are connected to Edge data (if you are on GSM). It is the slowest of the data speeds. There has to be a reason you are losing your wifi. Have you tried to reset your wifi router? Does the wifi stay connected at locationis other than home? Steps to try for wifi troubles are after resetting the router, reset your phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If this does not help, then go into Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. Understand this will remove all wifi passwords of other wifi networks as well. If this doesn't work, then you may have to try and restore the phone, first from a backup and if that doesn't help, then as a new device.
