Hey guys! Just picked up this Blackberry bluetooth stereo gateway from amazon. Plug it into the auxiliary input in your car and stream from your streak right to the car stereo.
I went with the blackberry version because it automatically remembers the streak without having to relink it. It can also be powered from the cigarette lighter.
Here's the link:

That's cool... If your car has auxiliary input.
Sadly mine doesn't and I have a factory nav/stereo so I need to buy a P.I.E adapter that's $80

Does anybody know:
Is it possible to connect my car speakers to the O2 XDA Carkit directly ?

Nah, not enough power. You need your car stereo as an amplifier. Alternatively, you can buy car amlifiers which are only amplifiers, but then make sure you don't end up buying a so-called 'booster', because it is meant to amplify a signal which is already at speaker level even further, for those that have sacrificed all space in their trunks for sub-sub-sub woofers and other tools for terrorizing their fellow humans.
You could try a £10 maplin cassette adapter, http://www.maplin.co.uk spliced onto a o2 xda headphone cable. You can use the nokia adapter version straight from the box, as the connector is the same size, but it is mono. Hence why I adapted a spare xda headset instead, as I thought the button on the mic pod might be useful, not to mention portable between different cars.
However, I have had problems with "transmit" noise using this "lash up" method. So its not perfect, but to be honest if you want music playback or tom tom navigator audio output its excellent.
Does anyone know if the external amp/back input of a hifi would stop the reception of the transmission noise during a call/gprs exchange. I'm using an old crappy car stereo without a seperate input, and the car is probably worth less than the xda as well! hence the cassette adapter method. :wink:
The MP3/Headset Audio Adapter from the other thread may be a solution?
It's a O2 Carkit with 2 outgoing speaker cables.
If i connect it directly to the cables that are coming from my car radio, will that work or will it blow up my xda.

it works through a standard nokia car radio relay kit
it works through the nokia car radio kit that was already in my car with my nokia phone, I simply plugged the radio relay kit intop the speaker socket of the O2 car kit and joined the yellow mute wires together.
Hello,
I have recently bought a TY TN II and I would like it to play music into my car stereo audio input. Simpler said then done, I have quickly found out!!
I am trying to connect the Kaiser to the car charger and a 3.5 mm head phone jack that I would connect to the car stereo input.
Unfortunately all the Y splitter cable I have seen are very short and would result in having a mess of cable dangling from the Kaiser mounted on the air vent. I would like to just have one cable go into the dash and there connect to the Y splitter and then charger and audio. The goal is to charge and at the same time play music.
I would then need an extension cord to put between the y splitter and the kasier. Here come the problems:
1- How many pins are on the mini usb female that is on the kaiser. Is it a simple 5 pin Mini type A? or is it an 11 pins as some Y cable imply?
2- I could only find one supplier for the mini extension http://www.pc-mobile.net/gugf.htm item CMUE and I am not sure if it is a 5 or 4 wire extension (mini USB can be both I believe). For some reason nobody make this extension???!!!
3- If that extension does not work I could try to make one. What are the pinouts on the Kaiser? I could try to cannibalizing a sycro cable mini male end and find a circuitboard female to connect to the y splitter.
Any help is appreciated. I am getting quite aggravated with this connection problems.
Cheers
Giovanni
Spend a tenner for this
I just ordered it yesterday

Best way would be to buy a BT capable HiFi as with the latest BT fix it will be OK.
BUT!!
If you want a quick hack for BT stereo/handsfree to your car audio.
Buy an iTech clip (it has a 3.5mm jack for audio out) and a car charger for it and a dual cig lighter adaptor.
Fit the iTech clip on you sunvisor (mic is there for phone!) and route its charger cable to the cigarette lighter and the audio cable to your stereo (if you don't have audio in, use a cassette adaptor).
You now can use the clip as Wireless stereo AND it will answer call for you and mute the music and only your power cable to your phone!!!
My iTech clip works seamlessly with the 'Kaiser', not ticks and good audio quality.

This is exactly what I use. I have it connected to an MP3 cable for my stereo and it wprks great!
I have my bluetooth earpiece in to receive calls and the stereo mutes when someone calls.
Also with MS Voice Commander I can also select artists, albums, tracks, or even genre just by pressing the button on my earpiece and speaking!
Its wicked!

I don't want to change the car stereo and I want to just have one simple cable to plug in the Kaiser. The rest should be in the car dashboard and out of sight.
I have bought a Scosche BT receiver but did not work with the Kaiser. BT is kind of miss and hit still. Since I need to connect one cable (power in) anyway I may as well have the audio hard wired.

I had the chance today to try out the new Blackberry Bluetooth Stereo Gateway with my Titan.
http://www.shopblackberry.com/_blackberryaccessories/cgi-bin/pd.cgi?frompage=category&page=product_detail&from_category=Lifestyles&category=Bluetooth&pid=F22224T62Z32QRSJ46F
It paired immediately and sounded great. This product has so much potential in my eyes. My main use for it will be in the car where I can stream my audio in stereo to my head unit aux-in via the 3.5mm phono plug. No more cables required. It's super small and is rechargable via mini usb. Even for use at home with my primary receiver will work great. Cue up all the music from the palm of your hand.
What do you think?
Manhattan;
Great Find. I could saved about $40.00 buying this over a traditional headset.
Almost 1/2 the price if you get this here rather than directly from the blackberry store:

This applies to all mini usb phones, but I needed it for my Focus, so I thought I'd post here. My VW Jetta came with an Ipod jack, but I don't have or want an Ipod. I finally found a cable that will go from the Focus' s headset jack to the Ipod plug at Grom Audio. It's the iPod input converter to regular MP3 plug (iPod female to 3.5mm plug cable) 4FT (C-IPD2JK). Only $14.75. Now I can listen to my Zune tunes in my car.
It also works with any Ipod accessory radio or speakers etc
My Samsung UN32EH4003FXZA HDTV has NO Audio outputs & no BT. I knew this. Now I want to use my BT headset. And will the picture remain since the VGA connector won't be used?
I bought a Anker Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter and Audio Receiver 2 in 1 Adapter.
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E174RTS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Uses a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cord. Wasn't thinking right thought I could connect this to my HDTV. I can't, directly anyways.
Did a bit of research. I want an inexpensive solution. Can I use a HDMI Male to VGA with 3.5mm Line Out Audio? Here's two I'm looking at:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251744316365?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
http://www.ebay.com/itm/381114657643?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Will one or both send Stereo sound to the Anker Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter and Audio Receiver? Again eBay items 251744316365 & 381114657643.
If either of these won't work. Are there any ~$20 USD & under solutions? I can return the Anker BT Transmitter if needed.
Edit: Just bought a 1.5ft Premium 3.5mm Stereo Male to 2RCA Male cable by Monoprice through eBay $4.52 otd. Looks a lot better than the other cheap cables for less. Connecting it to my cable box.
Yeah those 2RCA to 3.5mm cables come in quite handy sometimes.
What I usually do is to plug it into our family's 15-year-old sound system and connect the 3.5mm into our phones when we have friends over. Decent solution when I don't have the CD, or want to play the latest tunes, or don't want the TV on to Chromecast youtube
Awesome! Bob's my uncle.
Translation: It works.
