Tp2 Like an IPOD? for car stereo?

If you have an Aux-In jack but you don't want to deal with the wires, you can get the RIM Blackberry Bluetooth gateway -- I've heard good things about it as a car-based bluetooth solution for music.

music tab sux IMO.. i have gbs upon gbs of music and feel like sense is slower to load when i have the music tab enabled

I use Conduit's Pocket Player for music and Podcast streaming, it supports full album art also!

You can grab a Dual XHD6425 Bluetooth/HD Radio/Mp3/ USB car stereo for around $78 here http://www.buy.com/prod/dual-xhd6425...206710233.html

Plus about $40 for the BTM60 bluetooth adapter. I've used one for about 3 years and it is awesome!

I've used several different blutooth adapters and at least 3 different rental and borrowed vehicles with BT audio. I was never satisfied with the freqency output, BT always chops the highs and the lows. I am sold on the 3.5 mm out on the TP2, with audio booster gives a sweet sound, especially with a good car stereo. You can get the USB to work if you tell the TP2 to connect as a USB card and the car stereo can read off the SD card, but the processor doing other things, causes playback to be choppy. TP2 processor can't handle it. I use both WMP or HTC music tab. Like 'em both. WMP does have larger album art, but I like the gestures for the HTC music tab better. My mount is on the vent so that I don't get overheated with the GPS and music running at the same time since you got to plug it in for that. Car charger and 3.5mm plug fit really nice together.

Question though, if I get the usb to work (so it can charge as well), will it play the streaming web (like pandora or slacker) and will I be able to answer the calls through the car like with the aux in? or is it going to consider the phone just an ext. drive?

Most likely your pioneer will just see it as ext drive with the head unit reading files from TP2. . Which probably gives better sound quality than going thr aux or even BT. you wonn't be able to make phone call with pioneer thr usb.

I have a pioneer DEH-P7000BT. It's a few yr old but got just about every options of connectivity (2 aux, usb, bt. No wifi but I am sure pioneer working on that ). The music quality is better over BT compared to aux as the volume is streamed at a higher level to the unit so you don't have to crank up the volume in either the phone or the stereo and introduces more distortion.

I also got one of those 1 gb thumb drive (which i got for free at trade show) and just leave it connected to the pioneer in my car... Letting the pioneer does the decoding of mp3 actually give best quality

Yupp, TP2 all day long for all my audio, through head phone jack. I use Slacker Radio & have some MP3s on the SD too... I have an iPod Touch thats been broke for 6 months, don't miss it really... Simply because of streaming music, and Slacker. Every time I used my iPod I used the WiFi router on the TP2 to stream music on the iPod anyway, which I used head phone jack with too . It's just easier...

I use an Alpine EX10 Bluetooth receiver. BEST $10 I ever spent. It can transmit through FM frequency, or through Line in. Also, you can play your Ipod (this is what I use it for), or connect your Phone through BT. The best thing is that it comes with a Mic so you can listen your streaming music on the EX10, but also make and answer calls. Take a look at, its worth every dime.

I use the Auxiliary input on my 7 year old Alpine deck, it works great!

I even use it as a hands free speaker phone while connected to the stereo as well, that too works well (as long as the windows are up).

I use coreplayer for all my video/music needs. I've noticed it runs a lot lighter than WMP and the Sense Music Tab, plus it gives me youtube capability (which i've removed in my custom ROM). Honestly I am never going back to sense, waaaaayyyy too many problems.

I use my standard 3.5 (unfortunately I have the worst cable ever so sound isn't the greatest).

Anybody else get stuutering/pauses every few minutes using the headphone jack? Its driving me up the wall.

My 3.5 has issues occasionally, but I think it is from the cable. Have you tried eliminating the cable as the problem?
