IPod Bluetooth adaptor

Heya Guys,
I'm looking at getting a new car system that let's you play music from bluetooth devices! I want to know if anyone here has experience with the currently available iPod bluetooth adaptors - from what I can see there is a Motorola one and a Jabra one.
Do any of you guys have anything to say about either one - will the audio be very poor quality due to the fact that it is being streamed via bluetooth?
Cheers guys.

I've had two.
The iCombi AP21 ($25 from singapore) was a great and cheap device although I was forever pairing the thing with my bluetooth headset. Audio quality suffered due to being compressed. Took it's power from the ipod. Iphone whinged when attached but worked. IIRC it showed me the song title on my bluetooth headphones
The jabra 125 that I have now is a lot better. has a 7 hour internal battery life, pairs fautlessly with my headset (and only had to do it once). Music quality better but not fantastic. iPod touch I have now didn't complain once.
As for the moto. I've no experience of it.
I'd much rather use my bluetooth headphones with my ipod as it means you can tuck your ipod out of the way.
Hope that helps
Paul

If I buy a bluetooth adaptor, will it work to enable my iPod Classic 120GB to become wireless?

I was thinking of buying a bluetooth adaptor for my iPod Classic 120GB in the hope that it would enable my iPod to work with my bluetooth wireless headphones, would this work?

Depends on the adapter. There are some that connect to the dock connector, and those are made for iPods. Read the product description for compatibility information, both with your iPod model and headphones.
There are other adapters that connect to the headphones jack. Those are more universal, because it connects to any device with a standard headphones jack.

Can I use an external bluetooth adaptor instead of the internal one?

HI Folks,
I need some better range for some bluetooth to serial adaptors so I purchased a class 2 (or was it class 1? memory fading but the higher output one) USB bluetooth dongle which advertised as being Mac compatible. Unfortunately when I plug that into my mini (previous generation core 2 duo mini) I can't see that I can disable the internal device. It shows up on the USB bus but as far as I can tell the system is continuing to use the internal device.
Is there a way to tell it to use the external device? Can I crack the case and remove the internal module? I know the airport module is a separate card I can unplug but can I do the same to the bluetooth?
Thanks for any suggestions!
James

heh, so I should have just tried it again. Last time I did this was a couple of OS versions ago though I have no way to know if that is what did it. Upon plugging back in the class 1 external interface is now appears that my machine is properly using BOTH interfaces. IN the discover new devices screen it now sees itself as an option which it never did before, and shortly thereafter the previously out of range devices popped up as well. So in order to use an external bluetooth adaptor it doesn't appear you have to do anything other than plug it in. It did not do this the last time I tried though.
In any case, thanks!

Mac OS 10.4+ Bluetooth Adaptors

Hello.
I just wondered if anyone could tell me how fussy Mac OS 10.4 is with generic USB bluetooth adaptors. I just don't fancy paying £20+ for the D Link Bluetooth Mac supported version if I can get one from eBay for under a tenner.
Many thanks.

The version Apple sold used the same chip as some of the Macs, so its firmware could be updated. The original wouldn't handle Bluetooth headsets, but the firmware updater fixed it. If the eBay one will work with the devices you need, there is no need to pay more, but I don't know how you would find out before you buy it.

Bluetooth adaptor?

I just bought a mac mini and now I am looking at bluetooth mouse and keyboard on ebay. Because the mini has built in bluetooth, does that mean that I do not need to buy the bluetooth adaptor? And all I will need is the bluetooth mouse and keyboard?

You are correct, you don't need a Bluetooth adaptor for the mac mini

Why I got the same reslults whether the Bluetooth adaptor plug or not?

I am trying to make communication from USB Bluetooth adaptor on my laptop to other Bluetooth device on J2ME environment, but after I finished the java code, and there is a problem, the laptop cannot detect any Bluetooth device. I am not sure which part I should change.
1) When I install the Bluetooth adaptor, I select com 4 as service port, but I did nothing with this in my Java code.
2) My developing environment is: Eclipse 3.2, JDK 1.5, WTK 2.5, J2ME , and my main program is Midlet program.
The following is my code; anybody can give me some suggestions.
And the running result is :
Running with storage root temp.MediaControlSkin21
Running with locale: English_United States.1252
Device Bluetooth Address: 0000000DECAF
Starting device inquiry...
no device found
and the big question is whether I plug the Bluetooth adaptor or not, the program always get the same result?!! And I never made any code to get the �Device Bluetooth Address: 0000000DECAF�, what is this address? I even did not plug the Bluetooth adaptor~~!!!
import javax.bluetooth.*;
import java.util.*;
public class BTConnector implements Runnable, DiscoveryListener {
private javax.bluetooth.UUID uuidSet[] = {new javax.bluetooth.UUID(0x1101)};

try {

LocalDevice localDevice = LocalDevice.getLocalDevice();
discoveryAgent = localDevice.getDiscoveryAgent();
System.out.println("Starting device inquiry...");
discoveryAgent.startInquiry(DiscoveryAgent.GIAC, this);
transactionID = discoveryAgent.searchServices(null, uuidSet, remoteDevice,this);
// Searsh for services on the remote bt device.
catch(BluetoothStateException exp){}

Can you read dates? Take a look at when this thread was started.
Make sure that javax.bluetooth is on your computer, and is included in the Classpath.
And please don't resurrect any more long dead threads. You are welcome to start one of your own.

Can a j2me emulator work with a real bluetooth adaptor?

Can a j2me emulator work with a real bluetooth adaptor?
Currently I need to work on a project that will need bluetooth and a SE P910i phone.
But the phone is not available to me at all times.
So, I am wondering if it is possible to have the emulator connect to a real bluetooth adaptor that is connected to the computer and communicate with other bluetooth phones....
Any help is very much appreciated :)

I have not found a solution to it. And I concluded that it cannot be done.
Bluetooth, on the emulator is emulated too. so if your program needs to test on 2 phones, then you can just open up 2 emulators and they will be able to find each other in their emulated world.
Try with the bluetooth demo that comes with J2ME. I cannot get to see any pictures when I run them on real phones but it worked flawlessly on emulators......

I have a Lexmark printer which is a little old. So when i connect my iphone to it via the USB cable my printer doesn't recognise it. If i bought a bluetooth adaptor for the printer would i be able to print photos via bluetooth?

The only way to print from an iPad is to have a printer that supports AirPrint. Here's a link to an Apple support page on AirPrint.

AirPrint is way to print wirelessly via Wi-Fi but it requires that the printer supports AirPrint. The iPad cannot use Bluetooth to print and it will not print when connected via USB.

BT Handset Support... Not supported by Builtin Bluetooth Adaptor?

There's a lot of discussion about this, and I'm still confused.
I've got a brand-spanking new G5 Dual Core machine. Bluetooth is built-in. (Software Version 1.6.6f22, Firmware Version 1.2 (1.4103) ).
Yet, the Helper application for "Set up Bluetooth Device" tell me that "Headsets are not supported on your Bluetooth Hardware".
(Alexander Traud: I know you're just about ready to hit that Reply button and paste in the same helpful instructions you've given everyone else, however it won't work on my machine because I get an error that says, "This Bluetooth device is not supported" when I try to use the Bluetooth Firmware Updater.)
Assume the PRAM has been zapped and the permissions fixed.
So, does this mean that Headsets are supported, they're just not supported by Apple's own Built-in Bluetooth Adaptor?
Dual Core G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Please ignore post... Was using wrong BT Adaptor.

D Link 120 Bluetooth adaptor Interferes with the network preferences for BT

Hi
I just purchased a D Link 120 Bluetooth adaptor adaptor for my G4 machine running OSX10.4.10.
When I connect it to a usb port, it works just fine and can see my mobile phone transfer files etc. The real problems begin when I restart my machine. On initial start up I cannot connect to the internet and in the network pane of the system preferences, I get a message saying a new port has been detected called Built in Ethernet-1
When i click apply changes, the computer once more connects to the internet, however the name under which it connects is now saying Ethernet Adaptor ((null)). In short, is there a method to prevent the Bluetooth adaptor from interfering with my settings to connect to the internet?
Thanks
Jon

Dear Justin,
Did you end up getting this router? If so how have you found it?
Thanks,
Scot.

HT4623 how do i conncet the ipod bluetooth to work my phone bluetooth because it is not connected

my ipod bluetooth is not work bcause is not connect to my phone bluetooth

The iPod will only pair via BT to share an iPhones internet connection.
The iPod does not have the BT profiles for common functions like file sharing.
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

Is the ipod bluetooth compatible

is the ipod bluetooth compatible?

Hello dwmesquire,
Only the iPod Touch models have Bluetooth capabilities (although it has limited profiles to work with). There are also a couple of Bluetooth dongles that can be used to add the functionality to other iPod models such as the Nano.

IPOD Bluetooth Wireless Adapter

I have the IPOD Bluetooth Wireless Model RF-MBT30 Rocket Fish adapter and a Rocketfish RF-QX3 Ear PIece. According the Best Buy salesman these two should work together with my IPOD Nano 3rd generation. So far I have been able to get them to find each other. Any suggestions?

It says the adapter should automatically find the bluetooth headpiece. The headpiece is going through its request like it is trying to pair with a phone. It wants a code, but there is no way to enter a code from the IPOD. Janet
