HTC Incredible :: Pair With Car Stereo
Apr 25, 2010
I'm about to upgrade my car stereo, and for about $30 to $70 more I can go with a bluetooth version, so I can stream music and hopefully books from audible.com as soon a they develop the app. I am planning to get the Verizon car dock or something similar to use the Google Nav. From reading posts in the Nexus One threads, the N1 streams music and phone calls well using bluetooth, and will pause music for nav instructions or a call.
Is it safe to assume the Incredible would work the same way? Also, I'd like to hear how others are planning to use their Incredible in the car. Ideally I'd like to drop the phone into the dock with the minimum of connecting charging cables, syncing cables, etc.

My DInc will detect the Wiimote as a bluetooth device, but it asks for a passcode and 0000 & 1234 do not work. Anyone able to shed some light on whether you can use it or not?

Is anybody able to pair and connect to another phone? I can pair and connect fine with my laptop and car head unit fine. I was trying to connect to co-worker's BB and wasn't able to. All it would say is Paired, not connected. So, I tried pairing to a co-workers Incredible and all it said is Paired, not connected. We tried pushing files anyways and it failed.

So I can get my Incredible to pair with my Dell E6410 but it says not connected and I can't figure out why it won't connect I've tried rebooting both the phone and the laptop and also re-pairing them both to each other.

I can't pair my Dinc with my new Vaio. Is there something I'm missing. I guess I should just read the manual, huh? Never did. Don't believe in it. Seriously, I thought I did what I had to do and there's no recognition. I do have my Voyager Pro paired with no problems.

I would like to know if it's possible to have the audio played through the usb port and into my car stereo. I have a usb port on my after market stereo and it's obviously not natively supported from the stereo, but is there a setting to play audio through usb?Sent from my HTC Incredible

So you have a car that had the free XM radio for 6 months... The free 6 months runs out, and you dont actually purchase XM... So you have an unused XM stereo. There's a way you can use the XM inputs on your stock car stereo to be able to listen to your digital music from that stock head unit.
Bottom line is... you gotta have a car stereo with an XM hookup that is inactive and you don't plan on using it again.
It would take a little digging on your part for your car model...
Mine is a 2006 GMC Canyon. Here is the instructions I used to accomplish this: (Thanks to canyonfans.com ):
---------------
This radio has two buss connectors on the back, the one coming from the XM tuner has 5 wires going to it. They are purple, bare(wrapped with tape), black/white (common), brown/white (left channel), and green/white (right channel). Since I never intend to subscribe to XM radio (the following procedure will disable the audio channels coming from the XM tuner) I tied my mini-stereo jack into this connector.
Remove the connector from the back of the radio and cut the black/white, brown/white, & green/white wires. Cap each of these wires that go back to the XM tunner (hidden elsewhere in the vehicle). On the connector side you simply connect the left channel from the Ipod to the brown/white wire, the right channel to the green/white wire and the common for both channels to the black/white wire. Plug the connector back into the radio.
Now plug the the stereo mini-jack you just wired to the connector to the headphone output on the Ipod. Tune the radio to either XM1 or XM2 band and you will hear the Ipod if it's on and playing. I didn't see the need for a line-input signal booster either, it was plenty loud.
------------
So what I did was take a 3.5 mm stereo jack (obviously the one that fits the incredible.
See the wikipedia article for pin out info for the 3.5 mm plug: TRS connector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basically its like:
Plug XM Stereo Bus Connector
tip ........................... Left Channel ........ brown/white
ring .......................... Right Channel ...... green/white
sleeve ...................... Common Ground .. black/white
After cutting the 3.5 stereo wire, there'll be 2 insulated wires, and a whole bunch of strands... the bunch of strands is ground (sleeve). There was a red and white wire, the red if I recall was LEFT, and the White wire was obviously right.
Simple 10 minute solder job, and voila! MP3 music, pandora, radiotime.com , etc whatever... from your incredible right through your stock XM equipped car stereo!
Your mileage may vary, I accept no responsibility for you blowing up your stereo, or worse, your incredible, ipod, or other cell phone...
Just saying, it worked like a champ in my case!

I've been really happy with my Incredible since it came out.I even got a new stereo for my car, an Alpine CDE-102, because I was able to plug my phone into it and it would start playing my music off the SD card.
Today I updated, and now my stereo does not detect the files on the SD card.I think it is only looking at the phone storage.Was the phone storage given some kind of higher priority in the update? Is there any way to keep my phone storage from being mounted?

I have a 2009 Cobalt and was wondering if it is possible to hook up the incredible to the USB Connector and play music like my iPod?

My Incredible paired easily with my Toyota car bluetooth and works great, however. . . . everytime the phone sends or receives data (incoming text or email or looking at the internet or answering a text) it mutes the stereo for a couple seconds. It is as if the phone is preparing to make a call. Anyone have any ideas what is going on here? (of course, I'm only looking at the phone while stopped at a traffic light.)

Just got a ps3 and was thinking, wouldnt it be great if I could just pair my Droid X with it and use the speakerphone as my headset?
Unfortunately my search on google turned up nothing.
Does anyone know if its possible? Or what else I would need to make that work?

I'm unable to pair my Verizon Motorola Droid (2.0) with my Voyager Pro bluetooth. When I scan for devices, 9 other, nearby, but much farther away, devices are listed. I've tried power-cycling my Droid and my Pro.

We just went for a walk, and I figured I'd just pair both headsets to the droidx for music playback, but apparantly. it can only pair to one device at a time. Is there an application or setting that will allow this?
I can't believe for a top of the line item like this that it can;t pair to at least two headsets for audio playback.

I've googled this with no luck so far. I paired my Droid Charge with some an awesome pair of Freedom Bluetooth Headphones for the gym. I want to go running with a friend...can she buy the same headphones and connect to my phone as well so we can both listen to the same music as we run?
In other words, can one device (my droid) pair with 2 bluetooth receivers simultaneously?

I am looking for a way to connect to Android devices via Bluetooth without user intervention(assuming at least on device is set to "Discoverable"). Since 2.0, it seems the devices prompt for a random pin to be entered when connecting to each other for the first time. I've tried some Bluetooth projects, but none seem to work as the underlying Bluetooth Adapter code always kicks in.

I have an MSI Windpad Enjoy 7 Tab that I used to to connect to an ELM327 OBDII bluetooth dongle for car diagnostics (torque app).
After upgrading from froyo to gingerbread, my tablet bluetooth doesn't detect the elm327 anymore, it also doesn't detect my car kit but it still detects other android phones perfectly well.
I know it's not a hardware problem or incompatibility since I already paired that device to this tablet before, it's a scan problem.
So here's my question: is there a way to "force feed" the bluetooth address of a device into android so it doesn't have to rely on a scan to find it?

I just got my Evo yesterday, and so far everything has been great! I did most of the suggestions in the battery fix threads, and I managed to only drop to about 60% battery after 24 hours, even with decent usage. The problem that I discovered today was that I seem to be unable to pair to any Bluetooth devices after turning the radio back on (first time trying to pair). When I turn everything on, I simply can't see anything when I search for devices. I put the earpiece that I'm trying to link to in discovery mode, and the phone never sees it. Neither does it see the printer Bluetooth interface or the PC Bluetooth. The printer, at least, should be always discoverable.Finally, I tried linking to my wife's phone, and it could neither see her phone when I set it to discoverable, nor could her phone see mine when I made it discoverable.It looks to me as if my Bluetooth radio is completely non-functional, but does anyone know if there may be something simple that I'm missing? A hidden setting or a Bluetooth diagnostic test that I could run (loopback or other)? Does anyone know if the Bluetooth module is integrated on the main PCA or is a add-on module that might be disconnected?
