Blackberry Audio Streaming

Hi all,
Did you ever tried to stream audio from your Blackberry to the car's bluetooth? I tried BB 8900 (Curve) and didn't work. I'll appreciate if you have any experience and would like to share. Thanks

I know it can be done with *my* E Series (an '11 equipped with Comand) using a Curve 8330 because my nephew did it just after I got it (a month ago).He also did it with *his* phone.Don't ask me how he did it with either phone...I haven't a clue.It's a feature that I'm not likely to use so it's of no real interest to me.

So...in short...if you have an '11 equipped with Comand it's almost certainly do-able for you.

You may be running into a difference in the Bluetooth connection. If you are connected to the car by Bluetooth for phone usage, you can not use the Bluetooth Audio function. You have to seperately connect to the car under Bluetooth Audio to use that function. Be aware that if you are connected to the Bluetooth Audio function, you can not accepot phone calls through the car, only the handset. The car currently differentiates between Bluetooth Phone & Bluetooth Audio, you have to choose one or the other to use.

Blackberry streaming

If you get a lead to use the aux plug in the glove compartment, it works through the 'aux' option on the CD player and you can listen to music through your speakers. If you've already paired up your phone to the car using bluetooth, you can use the phone 'handsfree' as well. When someone phones you ,you can answer -but you can only turn your music down, not off.
I just learned this last night when i connected my phone for music for the first time (using a £7 lead that i bought from Halfords) and the phone rang!!
The hardest part is finding the aux option on the CD/radio by holding the CD button down until it gives options.
Goodluck

Guys, check our AnyStream for bluetooth streaming. It can support the phone connection at the same time it it supports audio streaming.

So are you saying that with the USB cable you can play MP3's from your cell phone (mine's a Blackberry Curve) without using Bluetooth?
