Default streaming music to the stereo via Bluetooth

<center><img src="http://direct.motorola.com/ens/carkits/images/T605-buy-now.jpg"></center><p>so, i got my a3 before the bluetooth option was available, and i really want a good handsfree solution for when i am driving, so i am getting motorola t605 bt hansfree device (i think i got the idea from vplaza a while back).

one cool thing about t605 is that it also has music streaming capabilities, meaning that i should be able to pair up my "stereo bluetooth"-enabled cell phone (nokia n95) with it, and play mp3s from my cell phone on my car stereo.

which is awesome, cuz i have lots of music on it, and... i just don't do very well with wires.

my ipod is still not connected, though, which is where iphone might come in handy, since it could give me integrated in-car experience of talking on the phone and listening to music, all via my car's stereo, with just one device, and without wires.

has anyone tried any of this (well, maybe not the iphone part, obviously? any thoughts?<ul><li><a href="http://direct.motorola.com/ens/carkits/learn-T605.html">motorola t605 BT music/handsfree device</a></li></ul>

Looks interesting! Have you checked in with the telematics forum as well?

The iPhone doesn't stream music via bluetooth.

Default There's been no announcement of any bluetooth music capabilities for the iPhone.

If it indeed did support such a function I would think that Apple would add it to the feature list. The iPod part of the iPhone is pretty much a stand-alone function. It doesn't appear to be integrated with any of the phone or browser functions.

Default A number of features have not been switched on. Expanded features should show up

once the core functions have been shown to work smoothly.

Played with a Nokia N95 (approx $700). What a mess! Took an hour between fiddling with the phone and looking for codes online (nothing in owner's manual) to get it to recognize the wireless in the house and download a song. One song at a time. Each file must be manually saved as an mp3 file, as the phone does not recognize it. Takes decent pictures for a phone though. Wish we had 3G here.

Default nokia n95: i just copy my mp3s to my micro SD card, and then i listen to it via

... my bt headset or its stereo speakerphone when i am in my car.

since i can copy whole albums, it's straightforward, but it'd prefer if itunes-like app managed sync'ing of my music for me.

besides, i have some itunes-encoded music which only an ipod can play. so i'd be sweet if iphone could give me simple one-device integrated experience, wherever i am.

Default My car has just the changer/Bose. That's good enough for me.

But it was interesting to mess around with the supposed iPhone competition for a few days. Curious to see how the iPhone compares.
