MP3/phone/ICE/Bluetooth Techy question
 

Bear with on this :D

If I bought this head unit for my car (Pioneer DEH-P70BT bluetooth): http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/product_...nomy_id=25-121

And a Sony Ericsson K750 or W800 (or similar phone which can play music via bluetooth).


Could I actually play music from the phone to the head unit via bluetooth? (i.e listen to mp3s stored on the phone through my car radio without having to plug anything in).


I know the phone can output the music via bluetooth as it will work with Sony Ericsson's forthcomming media centre (http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?...p4_1&pid=10252). But the question is will the Pioneer headunit be able to work with it too??

2nd question is there any other phones that can have the same storage capacity as the k750/w800 and be able to output music via bluetooth?

As you can guess, the bloke in the phone shop was dumbfounded and the ICE shop guy didn't have a clue either. :D


TIA :)

Looking at the website, I'd say no, you can't play MP3's from the phone on the headunit, seems the pairing is only for making calls, rather than utilizing other features of the phone.

Yeah I was thinking that. Just was wondering if you stick the radio on "phone" and it'll throughput the music - probably not though. I suppose I could install a mmv200 media centre in the car and connect it via the standard aux inputs. But then it would be a bit of a waste and I'd have to fiddle the phone to play the music - not clever whilst driving.

Either that or get an iPod adapter and buy an iPod Mini ( But I'd rather steer well clear of one of them things ;) )
