Re: Req: Bluetooth over car stereo

Ok here is the scope. I bought the Sony BT2500 but it turns out it doesnt have any rca jacks for subs. So i upgraded to the just released BT2600 which does. You do not need any special software to pump out music via the A2DP but the annoying part is you have to connect that every time. As opposed to the headset part of bluetooth that auto hooks up. That is where A2DPtoggle comes into play. It will hookup the A2DP connection and start whatever program you want. I use pocket player and love it. I stream all my music to my phone via EVDO and it works pretty well. Maybe once a drive it will have a little hiccup. The one thing i do wish i had now is the hands free calling even though i thought that was a feature i did not want. I would think that it would be possible to make a program like A2DP to connect completely automated since the phone hooks up 100% on its own. You could use that as a trigger for the next event but i am not a skilled enough programmer to make it happen. I am still looking for new/interesting ways to play my stream my music. Right now i am just running pre-configured m3u's that point to my own server but i would like something that would be a little more friendly for media libraries. Maybe like a vpn or something.
