The suggestion of yours that worked was deleting "CarKit" and repairing it! Would hate to have to do that EVERYTIME I get in the car.

However, I emailed the customer support at satechi and the rep said that a lot of windows mobile devices will automatically cutoff A2DP in order to give priorty to the "HandsFree" part of a device. The rep also pointed me to Teksoft A2DP Manager which gives you a today plugin with a play button that force turns on a2dp and opens the media player of your choice (via app path in the settings).

So I have found a much easier solution!
