My Phone (Nokia E71) works fine with my bluetooth car stereo - handsfree is fine and it even transferred the phonebook entries. However, I can't play mp3s or get the spoken output from my phone's sat nav to play through the car stereo. I suspect that this is because at the time (05) the car was made, the standards only called for telephone calls to be sent over bluetooth - but actually, I have no idea if that's right - does anyone else know?

Well, if it is the bluetooth hands-free system you have built in, it is not supposed to play mp3s or satnav instructions .. you need a stereo with bluetooth support for that. -
Some detail on the car Hi-Fi would be useful, so we can check it supports streaming audio via Bluetooth! %)Comment

I though the satnav played through the stereo by means of an internal FM transmitter....... Or?!Comment

If that was the case, you wouldn't be able to listen to the radio at the same time ?Originally posted by Mustang View PostI though the satnav played through the stereo by means of an internal FM transmitter....... Or?!Comment
