Playing Music Via Bluetooth In Car |

Hi,
My dad has recently had a bluetooth device fitted inside his new car for making handsfree calls etc, when a phone or phones are connected to this bluetooth device he can also play the music that is on his phone via the car speakers. Now since I have more music on my phone (K750) I was hoping to do the same, so I connected my K750 to this bluetooth device and the little headset icon came up on the phone and stuff, but what I noticed is that I can only hear and speak my incoming and outgoing calls via the car speakers and handsfree etc. My music only seemed to want to play via the phone speakers. I was hoping my K750 would just do it without having to activate or change something first like my dads Nokia 6230, but it doesn't which annoyed me since the K750 is such a cool and top end phone. So my question is what and how do I change or activate or do to be able to listen to the music on my phone via the car speakers? Can I do this at all? Do I need to change a profile or something? I did spend ages searching my phone for something that might just do it but failed.
Any help?
Thanx Xu.

Isnt a2dP, in the nokias u can do that, of curse isnt high quality, its like a call quality, but thats one feature of the nokias, when u have a handsfree connected u can stream the ringtone or mp3 to the handsfree, on the other hand u cant do it with the sony ericsson |

I thought it was such a simple and fun thing to have/do that I was so sure that something of a K750 or even better would have... Oh well. Never came to mind before, but just as it was there to do I thought why not.
Anyone know if any of the new Sony Ericsson phones will or might have this feature?

K800, W950 and P990 will have A2DP.

What you need is this, connected to one of the A2DP phones listed above.
Sony MEX-BT5000 A2DP Car Audio

thats a great headunit that, whats the quality of music over BT though? Also unless you have a way of charging your phone in the car, playing music this way will eat your battery!

Yeah, battery will run down faster but not THAT fast.
Besides, just fit a mobile phone holder and Cigarette lighter adapter to keep the phone charged.
I think this will revolutionise in-car music. Bye-bye Ipod, hello Walkman phone and A2DP compatible devices.

Yeah the phone has a stand that charges it coming from the cigarette lighter and the bluetooth device isn't like built into the car stereo thing like above but is a tiny separate unit that was fitted beside the stereo. its real good and the quality of music that plays is actually surprisingly real good... Its just a shame It won't work for my K750, but does for a Nokia 6230.

nokia are unique in this way. I think most phone oem's don't allow streaming of music (even low quality non-stereo) via bluetooth.
As A2DP becomes common most handsets will start to support it.

I'm guessing, but the biggest problem with sound quality would probably come from the compression rate of the MP3, AAC, WMA, etc, file you have stored on the phone. You'd need a fairly large file size before BT transmission quality becomes an issue I'd think.

it not so much the bandwidth of bluetooth but whether the device has a suitable profile for sending audio or not. Phones cannot send the audio as it is played (streaming) unless they have the A2DP profile. However you can play the file on a computer as it is received over bluetooth lan, without the sending device having an A2DP profile.
Bluetooth throughput is 721Kbps (ver 2) so streaming a 128 or 192Kbps audio file is feasible.
