Default bluetooth question

is there a way to use the bluetooth for anything besides just using it for the phone? like using it to stream music from my phone (Blackberry tour 9630). thanks

Yes, I use it to play music from my iphone =)

Once you've connected your phone to your car
You need to get to the option where it says BT-A: Bluetooth Audio.

This might be a change in 2010 models- I'd have sworn I've seen previous threads (with pre-10 nav systems) stating there was no A2DP profile on the system (meaning no streaming music)

I wonder if it's possible with a firmware update? I mean the technology is there, but needs to be written...

I own a 06 is250 with Nav and I think that would be an awesome feature to stream AD2P signal and get pandora. For now I use the Aux input which isnt so bad supppose.

this post is more so just for info. In my 2010 IS-C I am able to upload my contacts to Nav via BT, listen to pandora or music on my SD card and control it via steering wheel. I have a mytouch3g

Pretty sure the technology isn't there.

06-09 has a Gen V nav system. 2010 is a Gen VI

It's not really all that though...

It does not display Artist, Album, or Song information while playing music over bluetooth.

I'm not bothering w/ it.
I picked up a 16gb USB Stick on Amazon for $32 and stuffed it w/ music
I just plugged it in to the USB jack and leave it.

I havent done any update. I paired my phone, under the phone feature you can upload contacts via BT. I'll go test it out again and check the sequence and get back to you.
