Fm Radio w/ Bluetooth

nitefall · #1 (**permalink**) 02-13-2009, 08:47 PM

I was just curious if there was a way to get the fm radio to work with a pair of bluetooth headphones using of course an old pair of cut up headphone wires for the antenna? I tried to get it to work with BTaudio but nothing happened. Plus that Program only allows for mono sound anyway.

If anyone can help out I would appreciate it thanks

I don't think it works via Bluetooth. At least it didn't when I tried.

Yes your right it does not work via bluetooth that's why I'm trying to find out how to get it to work.
I'm not concerned with the reception I use a double ended male headphone jack for that. I just want to get the sound to route through the bluetooth headset, and no the BT audio routers do not work.

I've been looking for this for a long time. Seems there's no go as somebody explained here, both BT and FM are on the same chip. However, everything's possible in this magic world. I've never thought "in call recording" function will work on HTC WM phones as "professional" website claimed "this is due to a hardware limitation". Lately, our chef here proved that many professional WM phone call sofware producers are wrong. Samething may happen here again!

The wired headset serves as an FM antenna

I would still not mind using the wired for an antenna and listen to it on bluetooth

you don't have to use the wired headset either as there is many other plugins available to just use a 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack for an antenna and route the sound through the BT headset
