Hi!
Got a little question I hope someone here can help me with.

Is there a way to connect the mediaplayer in Cruise to the caraudiosystem with Bluetooth?

I got a NissanQashqai with BT handsfree and it works great in general (there are some complaints in microphonequality though...)

I had hoped it should be possible to play music from the cruise via the BT connection aswell, but sofar no sucess.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

You should check the pairing guidelines of your car with a bluetooth enabled device. Follow those steps and you should be able to pair your cruise with the bluetooth of the car. Ofcourse, you'll have to make your device discoverable. Also, If you experience that all audio is not being transferred to your paired device (your car), use a utility like BTAudio on your cruise. Hope this helps.

Music is only supported through car systems with the A2DP profile. You need to check car's manual to make sure it actually supports A2DP. However, the majority of oem systems don't support this and only a few aftermarket systems do. Besides going aftermarket, as reccomended by the above poster, BTAudio can provide a makeshift fix, however the music quality will be poor as it will be at best telephone quality (liken it to listening to music through a phone call).

Aftermarket is truly the best way to go if you want wireless. Here are a few pics of my io Play setup which supports the handsfree and headset profies (HSF/HSP) as well as the stereo music and remote control profiles (A2DP/AVCRP).

As I have checked around and tried to get a easy solution for connection via BT, I now beleve there are none. The car is simply not fitted with so advanced BT system, too bad. It would be so simple and neat if it worked...

Anyway, lurking around and reading all about FM-transmitters instead, but not really finding a good product here either.
It would be nice with a 12V FM transmitter, fitted with an USB connection, where the crusie will get powersupply and identyfies the FM transmitter as a wired headset.
I bought one model to try it out, http://www.clasohlson.se/Product/Product.aspx?id=16990147
but had no sucess, it charges ok, but it does not see the charger as a headset and sends out the sound. The transmitter needs to see the Cruise as a USB-memorystick, and controls the USB-stick with stop/play/fwd/bwd.
Anyway, tried the WM5 storage 1.73, but it does not seem to work...
Any ideas of a better product or a solution?

MyVenturi is pretty good -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387247
And personally I'm also happy with my Jabra 3030 (A2DP) although it does not charge up the Polaris.
