Is it possible to use a Bluetooth Carkit to play audio from the Vario in my car? If so, what should I look for in a carkit?

is this question so weird? :D I prefer not to buy something extra (like fm transmitter) for music.

It seems there aren't any yet. What you need is a car kit (and a PDA) that supports A2DP Bluetooth profile. I have not been able to find any references to such kit being available for sale anywhere. However, there is a car stereo from Pioneer (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/press/release/detail/0,,2076_4313_291832622,00.html) that will support A2DP once released.

Take a look at this fairly comprehensive list of A2DP compliant devices (http://www.robertwebbe.nl/A2DP.html) - perhaps when someone develops the car kit you need, it will show up there.

Thanks. Now I know what to look for! I'll keep my eyes open.

Kenji776: if you can listen to calls over your bluetooth, have a go on my app VJVolubilis, using the -agon option.
It might work to open audio generally over the bluetooth connection, playing all sound out. Works on some devices, but not all.

i have a2dp in my car. I modified my HP bluetooth headphones and wired it directly to the aux input of my deck. I relocated the buttons to the front near the deck so now i have full control of the playback without touching or looking at my pda.

No this does NOT work with the wizard because i don't use it as my music player and i don't know if it supports a2dp profile but it works flawlessly with my hp rx3115. I also don't need a car holder for it because my pda just sits in my pocket or in the glove compartment. One feature i love about this is the fact that i can take out my rx3115 and control the music from 15ft outside the car.
