I've searched the forum for answers and it seems that this *might* not be possible...
Which seems strange!
The usual response is 'why would you want to do this?', 'use WiFi' or.. No replys.... :-\
I'd be interested if anyone know why it can't be done.
Reason I ask: Using an Android Tablet as a car Media/Nav/Carputer. The audio-out from the tablet is fed into the car-stereo via. a 3.5mm plug.
Nav, video etc. all work fine, music stored on the tablet plays nicely through the car stereo, as you'd expect.
But: There seems to be no way on earth that I can pair a 'phone to this set-up to get either hands-free calls or music stored on my phone played through the car stereo via. A2DP Bluetooth profile to the tablet.
What is stranger is that I used to be able achieve all this with a Windows CE tablet plugged-into the car stereo as a Nav/Media device.
I could pair any 'phone to it, make & receive hands-free calls AND control the 'phones music from the CE tablet & (at the risk of repeating myself!), have it play through the car stereo.
(I stopped using the Win CE device & went to Android, as the CE device boot time for the Nav Software was ridiculous, the touch screen was hopeless, the display was pretty low resolution+ dim & it was impossible to have more than a couple of apps running because of memory & processor limitations).
So, if the bluetooth pairing I need could be done with Win CE, why can't it be done with Android?!
