my bluetooth allows me to play my music from my iphone thru the car radio, does anyone know if I can use the voice control to find artists & songs?

 

There isn't a lot you can do when playing music through Bluetooth - volume and track advance is all I've been able to do. Even the track info doesn't display. If any additional functionality is available, I'd be very interested.

 

How did you do the track advance through Bluetooth streaming? I can only play music mine. I'm streaming through an I Phone 3Gs.

 

You can use the right control on the 5-button controller on the left side of the steering wheel (where up/down is volume), or the forward/reverse buttons on the dash. I stream through an iPhone 4 but imagine that the 3's should be the same.

 

theres also rumors about bluetooth video streaming

 

I'd like to stream music through the radio in my 2005 JX8. I've paired my phone with my car's bluetooth but I haven't figured out how to stream music. Can you help please?

 

Track info (Title, Artist, Album) shows up on the touchscreen with Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and later versions. Any voice commands or other functionality would have to be the responsibility of the music player App, not the car voice system.

 

Thanks Delta. I have paired my Android with JellyBean 4.3 so I can answer my phone in my 2005 XJ8. What I now need advise on is how to stream music from my phone to my car radio using the bluetooth connection. Any suggestions?

@Stephen
Try posting this question in the X350 section. You might get a quicker answer there.

 

A 2005 won't support Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP, or Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). Neither Android nor iOS had A2DP support until 2009 AFAIK, and I think the first cars with it started showing up in MY09.

Does your car have an AUX input? You can buy a small Bluetooth adapter that will stream audio through the AUX jack.
