Hey guys, saw a post about how to do this in the accessory forum, so I figured I'd copy my little how-to I typed up on my car forum for what I did.

Just picked up a 98 gti vr6 a few weeks ago and have already been putting some time into it.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, but I hadn't seen the idea on any of the VW forums (or my Camaro forums for that matter).

Basically what I did, was set up my stereo so I can wirelessly stream music and other audio from my HTC Evo through bluetooth to the cars stereo.

What you need is a phone capable of playing audio through bluetooth (most will do this just fine). You also need a headunit with an auxilary input, and a bluetooth audio receiver.

I personally have an Alpine headunit, the HTC Evo, and this Belkin Bluetooth receiver

http://www.google.com/products/cata...og_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CB0Q8wIwAg#

If your headunit has rear aux inputs (the red/white plugs), you will need to go to radioshack or bestbuy and purchase an rca to headphone plug cable. It looks like this

You will also need a power source for the Belkin bluetooth receiver. It uses a very small charging plug. I went to walmart and found a car charger for an old Nokia phone that works perfect.

Installation:

The first thing I did was make sure the bluetooth reciever has power. Take the nokia car charger you purchased and hard wire it to your remote amp wire from the headunit (the blue wire on your headunits harness). This is convenient because it automatically turns off the receiver when you turn off your stereo or car, and turns on automatically when you turn the car on.

Next is to plug the rca cables into the aux input on the back of your headunit, and run the headphone jack into the bluetooth receiver.

All of the wiring fits nicely below the headunit, tucked behind the HVAC controls in my mk3.

Now all you need to do is turn on bluetooth on your phone, and pair it to the receiver.

All of your audio (Music, navigation, pandora, etc) will play wirelessly through the car stereo with the exception of calls, which will still go through the phone.

Enjoy!

If I missed anything let me know, tried to type this up quickly at work, just figured it was something some of you might be interested in.

[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Anyone hear anything besides CDMA coming in Q1 ? I've been following all day nothing so far on any new models or anything on brands.

I've seen a bunch of phones but, all that Anroid crap... (sorry fanboys, I'm not a fan)

Did anyone else see anything ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
Nothing really new.

When an MS rep was questioned, he did say something like (I'm paraphrasing), "We're saving some news for a later date. Only if there was an event coming up dedicated to mobile devices in Barcelona, Spain where we could talk about this..."

Making a not so thinly veiled reference to the Mobile World Congress starting on February 14th.
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
I honestly didn't think there was anything exciting at CES. Dual core is nothing without the apps to back it up. As a former Android user, I didn't find anything interesting. Maybe that is because T-Mobile didn't announce a superphone and I will not break my contract.

They will drop a couple devices in February. Maybe in Spain.

Than again, sometime in the Fall.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Yea, nothing good, it sucks to be honest with ya.... It's not over yet (later date ?) but, I guess we'll see.

We CDMA people have to wait till Feb before we hear anything about a CDMA WP7 ? I feel like one of those (you know who you are) Verizon iPhone people, just waiting and waiting....

I'll have to admit, some of those Android phones looked nice just only if they had WP7 on them, it would be great. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
It is over on Sunday (I think) and there are still companies that need to present. I believe that Sprint has yet to present knowing that AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon already presented.

Someone said that the HTC Trophy is coming very soon. Just passed the FCC with Verizon's banding.

But all of the Android phones have skins. Oddly enough, only one of them had Gingerbread and it is not even on a US carrier anytime soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
I am not sure if there is anything new - as in the case you haven't yet heard of - coming on MWC, MS has a single stand at the event.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
i was really expecting some aha announcements from balmer and his team. just some rattling on about nothing really, ahem xbox this and that. he's really looking old and tired now.

really expecting to see some cool innovations. maybe those projector phones with 12 hour batteries and lte connectivity ? well, no. :(

of course there are android phones everywhere (ya i'm a big fan) but expected more there also. one dual core phone. well, ok. if i get my nexus one, g2, g1, and wifes g2 all together, i'll have 4 cores really close to each other. woooo-p.

tell the truth i'd get more excited if there was some shazam new battery tech announced that let a badass smartphone run for a week on a charge that i'd be if there was a quad core handset.

tablets, good lord tablets everywhere ! and honeycomb is really going to be tailored specifically for tablets. sweet. nice to see a company making a specific OS for tablets.

things that aren't selling me:

tablets (too big for phoning, too small for real computing)

front facing cameras

barely usable batteries

gee-wiz dual cores/quad cores

kick stands

anything that isn't a micro-usb (c'mon already, standards!)

things taht would get me hot to buy:

LTE (the upgrade to this g2 with 6-7Mbps is pretty smokin fast, i want more though)

led projector, HD quality

720p that rivaled the iphone's (their stuff is really, really , really good)

a week long battery

waterproof

drop proof

:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Where did you read "The Entry level WP7 device" AKA HTC The Trophy just passed FCC banding ??

If it just got passed, it could be a few months before anyone sees it... Not sure I want the Trophy anyway, it's the lowest end model out of all current WP7 phones...

I'd rather have the Pro 7 (yea, the one Sprint is getting), I was hoping for something else on Verizon than just the Trophy.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, after 1 billion planned and millions so far spent on adveristing for WP7, Verizon and Sprint will not come to market with just 1 device each.

I want every year to hear some magical new battery that is taking over that will go from hours of use to 100's of hours of use but, nothing ever comes up. Yea, let me get a Quad core CPU on a phone that only gets 1.5 hours talk time, YEA !!!!!

Out of all the stuff they come up, they can't solve a simple battery problem ? WTF ???

[Windows Phone 7 General] jz9833:
simple? if it was so simple why wouldn't you or anyone else for that matter do it? I guess its because im an engineer and i know science that i find this statement ridiculous. Lithium is the best element for energy storage and that is already being used. This is because lithum's desire to give elections away on it outer shell (hydrogen ist because it is hofbrincl). It is really going to be hard to find something else that can work better than this. Battery cell architecture enhancements are they best way to go with this route until some kind of reaction proves better, but that can only go so far. my point, it is hard, and a new approach to energy storage will have to be solved for it to really get better so i'd quit expecting something.

ok enough of the science lesson, I was also kind of disappointed in CES. Honestly I might of gone back to andriod if there was a LTE, dual core, sim card based, high res, 8 mp with FF VGA camera, 4.3 in phone that had excellent 4G coverage and 2.3 on it but noting announced met that criteria.

I was also hoping MS would drop the flash surprise or extended limited multitasking abilty but that also failed to happen. Basically what I heard from MS was exactly what everyone already knew. Some apis that allow certian types of services (streaming music apis, chat, etc) to preform in the backgroud would of been great.

i'm walking away from CES like eh, but eventually an LTE tablet might be in my future.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Thanks,

The HTC Pro 7 the one thought, I could not find any actual proof of it going to Sprint, the only way we know the Trophy is going to Verizon because they offered it to MS Employees.

The Trophy just passed the FCC yesterday. The HTC Pro 7 (the other CDMA "7" phone) passed the FCC 10/25/2010 and is still not here.

If someone is counting on getting it very soon, I would be shocked.

Dude, calm down... I was kidding with that... We've only been with the same battery tech for 5-10+ years now ? I'm sure someone came up with something by now. I know it's not simple by any means, it just sucks that no one has solved it. Not even any proto-types or rumors, that dead on this subject.

Pretty soon, something is going to have to happen, phones get faster, need more power, phones get bigger for bigger batteries...Sounds like we are going backwards to me...

i'm in australia so i have the trophy already. it's decent. takes nice day photos, and good feel in the hands. would like to see the 7 Pro in australia though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jz9833:
from a simple stand point i can see your stance, but once you know the technology it makes since. Solar energy is actually the leading cause for the push in energy storage, but maybe cell phones will help push that.

What i honestly think is going to happen id the evolution of the power mat from Duracell. When the guy who invented it was still at MIT and proposing this tech he also stated in the future it would be possible to get rid of the mat and transmit power OTA. This would be a future with no batteries in cell phones thus making them the slimiest they could possibly be. However what happens when you are too far away from the tower emitting power.

This is all just FYI stuff, but if you are interested in the future of batteries this is the answer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
Could be interesting... http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=earth-talk-charging-ahead
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Yea, very interesting, if it ever comes out, I read about that like almost a year ago, as it could hold the power, the possable problems coming out (to the world) could be really bad.

As for wireless power, cool but, at what cost? As I think about this more, someone has to pay for the power and no one is going to give power away for free. So a power system off of a tower someplace ? Never will happen, there are too many companies making money off the grid and they would never let it happen, even for small devices.

It's a nice idea over all, to have a longer range "power mat" type of system, one in your home, one in your car, one in your office so you can limit your breaks of constant power (kind of like plugging it in when your in those locations) but, then you go back to the battery tech. Try recharging your battery 5-10 times a day or more (going between locations) how long do you think your battery would last (after discharge and recharge 100's of times more a month) ????

Anyway, for Verizon cusomers... a Press statement or "event" coming on Tuesday... Said, releases, so maybe WP7 along with the iPhoney.

[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
Thank god I am not alone with this. Front facing cameras are basically dead. Some old Windows Mobile devices had them, but I don't think anyone ever used them.

I am waiting for Microsoft to make dual core fully optimized for dual core, it might happen 2012 though. I could wait on that.

And for data speed, I would rather wait for HSPA+ (the one with a peak of 42 mpbs) on a WP7 devices, only because I have no plans of switching carriers (all carriers work here, so doesn't really matter which one I use). LTE is pretty cool and it is available in my area.

Ok, not sure if this goes here but whatever. My wimax has been stuck on, "turning on" for a while. Can't turn it off from the toggle widget in the drop down menu or in settings. If I re install the rom, wimax turns off, but if I try to turn it on again, it gets stuck on "turning on"again. Tried re flashing the wimax, but that doesn't fix the issue. Any ideas guys?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forcelite:
You need to try a different Rom as some break when using some version of devices. So flash a different Rom and you should be good . Even another version of the same Rom might help.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
I had it happen a few times before, to fix I put the phone in airplane mode, I waited a few and I could uncheck it, if it didn't come out of turning on then I rebooted in airplane mode and unchecked it when it turned on
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superhiro415:
Hmm.. thinking about it. Could this issue have anything to do with the rom I flashed from? Before Myn's beta I was using Virus' Revolution rom, which has no wimax. Would that make a difference?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chogardjr:
I helped a guy with this problem and he ended up changing the WiMAX_Idle_Sleep(s) time in the ##data# to 300 instead of 10.

FWI you will need you msl code to edit it. App is in the market.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superhiro415:
Yea, I can get it unchecked either by reflashing the rom or by airplaning it like you said, but the problem is that the wimax never turns on. If i try to toggle 4g, it just gets stuck at "turning on" but never turns on. Meaning I basically have no 4g since the radio won't turn on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chogardjr:
Maybe if you lost your RSA keys. Virus wouldn't have anything in his rom that would have done that though. I don't think either of these are the issue.

Do you have an old nandroid you could restore? Or have you tried that one already?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superhiro415:
I'm gonna try that next. Right now I'm trying to flash a different rom to see if the wimax works on that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superhiro415:
Hmm.. well alright then... restored an old backup of Ava and low and behold, 4g is working. It seems to be disconnecting really fast after it finds a signal, but the signal's pretty weak near my house, so I'm not sure what to think.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chogardjr:
Changing what you did in the ##data# will keep it from going idle too fast so I am sure it is a weak signal issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chogardjr:
Just FYI pri 1.90 and anything below 3.70 builds don't get along and will cause strange things to happen. Not sure what version of Ava you had but if you updated the pri I would flash back to 1.77 if you plan to stay on 3.30 build. I have used them all and stick to my 3.29 build with new baseband and wimax. I always say "If it's not broke don't fix it".
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superhiro415:
Will the ##data# changes carry over if I restored a backup or flashed a new rom? Or will I have to do that again?

So I installed the Sprint Lover's ROM.. Trying to connect to 4g.. "Scanning... Connecting to Spring.. Scanning.. Connecting to Sprint.. Scanning.. Disconnected.."

I wonder.. Could maybe flashing an older WiMax fix my problem?

That has nothing to do with the rom. It will stay the same till you change it.

Restoring an old nandroid fixed it for Superhiro. If you don't have one then you could just reflash the wimax radio and see if that fixes it.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
:cool:I always wondered, to my understanding. The g2 can only ingest and make use of a max data stream of 14mb per sec when on the network. I'm guessing no matter how fast your wifi network is, it will still only make use of 14mb per sec when on wifi.

My home network has a 30mb max. And I noticed, on wifi; my nexus and g2 perform equally when its browser to browser. I expected faster browser performance from the g2 since it can make use of more data (14mb) than the nexus (7.2mb).

Or am I wrong to assume that the g2 can make use of more speeds than a non hspa+ device?

I just always figured it didn't matter if ur wifi network is pinging 500mb per sec, the g2 can only ingest n make use of 14mb per sec
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
The Vision (G2/Desire Z) can handle 3G/4G data speeds of up to 14 Mbit/sec. But it can also handle WiFi 802.11g/n, which means it can go up to 100 Mbit/sec, in *theory*. Of course you will never get actual data rates this high, even if you are very close to the Wi-Fi access point, due to packet overhead, other losses, etc.

In your test it was probably that your Wi-Fi speed was the limiting factor for both phones. If you can connect your phone to your computer and use its connection for tethering, I'd expect to see the G2 going faster than the Nexus.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
So both the g2 n nexus can ingest n make use of up to 100Mbit per sec? It explains why their wifi browser performance is about the same. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
I know virtually nothing about the nexus one, I would guess that in your test your wireless itself is the bottleneck. In theory they could both go up to 100 MBit/sec, but since the G2 is the much newer and faster phone, I would also guess that the G2 probably could go faster flat-out on wireless if the signal etc is good enough. As I said, I am only guessing though.
