[Q] Stream Music from phone to car using Uconnect - Connected Car

Okay so recently we bought 2006 Jeep Commander with the Factory Navigation System installed but without the VES (Video Entertainment System). There is no AUX cable port or capability to stream music using the integrated Bluetooth system. It does however come with the Uconnect system which allows for calls to be streamed using Bluetooth. I was wondering if there is a way to make Uconnect think there is an incoming call but instead play music. Any help? Thanks!

Yes you can use the Uconnect to stream music. After you connect to the system via Bluetooth then go to sources on the system. There will list your sources and Bluetooth streaming with your device will be listed. Touch this option and goto music on your phone and start it. Works well in my Dodge Durango.

Whats the best way to do this?

Ok, here is what I want to be able to do:
Setup:
-Have a Revue googletv connected to my Denon receiver which is connected to the TV. Wife and me have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Denon is not networked, but am open to replacing the receiver (it is old, no HDMI switching etc.) with a networked one.
Question:
I want to be able to listen to pandora or Google Music app triggered from either of our SGN's playing through the living room speakers connected to my Denon receiver. I want to make it as simple as possible, so I don't want to power on my TV and then use Revue's Pandora or Google Music app. I want to be able to use the SGN phone's app. I know I can control the Revue with the Android app on my SGN, but without the TV being on, you can't see what's going on...
It would be great if google had airplay like functionality, so I wouldn't need to switch on TV, I can just goto the Pandora app (or Google Music) and select the Receiver to send it to and it would play it on the speakers connected to my receiver.
Any ideas?
So this is not possible then I guess?
Install Bubbleupnp on your phone's and the Revue. You will need the paid version. Set the Revue up as a renderer. Set your phones to use the Revue as a renderer. You won't need to turn the TV on, just pick the music on your phone and play through the Revue and Denon. You can even use your PC as your media server...

[Q] Sonos alternative and an important question.

Since Sonos does not support Google Music I decided to undergo my own project using my Note 2. My house is already wired for sound with multiple speakers in most rooms attached to either HTPC's or audio receivers. So my goal here was to use my Note 2 to stream Google music to the rooms that I was in and have that music follow me around similar to the Sonos setup. I have found that inexpensive Bluetooth dongles attached to my audio receivers in strategically positioned areas allow me to connect and disconnect to the appropriate speakers automatically while I am moving from room to room. For the rooms without any previous audio, I have added some small high quality speakers with a mini amplifier attached to the dongle. So for less than $100 I can have music anywhere. This is an extremely inexpensive alternative to Sonos with 80% of the Sonos functionality at a fraction of the cost. Now anything that I can play on my phone I can push to the nearby speakers. This also allows my wife and her phone to do the same thing in different parts of the house. Further customization with NFC tags and Tasker makes it a no brainer over Sonos.
That said, here is the only annoying part of this project. I have tried everything to get my Note 2 (SGH-T889) to connect to my HTPC's running Windows 7 prof edition. There seems to be a lack of drivers for this phone and I have tried all of the previous work arounds in other threads but keep getting "Bluetooth Peripheral Device driver error". I can pair the device but the lack of driver support has prevented me from streaming directly to my HTPC's. I have attached another Bluetooth dongle to the HTPC speakers as a workaround but would really like to stream directly into the computer.
Has anyone successfully connected the Note 2 (SGH-T889) to a Windows 7 64bit machine and streamed audio over Bluetooth to the pc???

Although I have not tried connecting the note 2 to a windows 7 desktop. I am using the squeezebox system to connect the entire house sound system. I am not familiar with the sonos, The cost of the sonos made not to venture into this system. I have a squeezebox duet system in the garage, I got just squeezebox duet receivers in 2 rooms and the music room has the squeezebox touch system. The home server has all the music serving the different squeezebox system. the note 2 has the squeezebox controller app in it. It has also the squeezeplayer app in the note2, this app makes the note 2 of any android device act as player. This allows you to stream the music directly into your note 2. The squeezebox system has the wire and wireless option to connect. I prefer the wired connection inside the house. while the squeezebox in the garage is connected wirelessly.

My understanding is that Squeezebox like Sonos is not Google music compatible yet. I can already access my music via a NAS but my goal with this system is to be able to stream all my music via the Google music app on my phone thus making my phone the data source. Since bluetooth is ubiquitous, making my phone the source allows me greater flexibility and portability. By bringing a simple bluetooth dongle and a 3" cable I can connect the dongle to any aux port on any music setup (home, car, radio) and stream my music. This also makes it exceptionally easy to listen to friends music collections by having them pair up their phones to the dongle.
Still wondering if anyone has been able to connect the Note 2 to a windows 7 64 bit pc via bluetooth. This is the last piece of the puzzle and I'm hoping someone finally finds a workaround or the the appropriate drivers. The generic windows drivers don't seem to work and the manual alternatives that have been posted to work with other phones have not worked either.

Have you tried bubblesoft's Bubble uPnP on android market. Google music does work with it and it costs $5 or so. However, it was having trouble playing songs from playlist that were added from sdcard. I am in touch with the developer and am going to ask for a refund if he can't make this basic functionality work. It could have to do something with his latest release.

Chromcast has solved my google music to mediacenter/HTPC issue. I still use the bluetooth dongle for stand alone audio situations like a car or portable radio system due to the ease of connection through an input jack. You can also use this with a chromecast for audio only: http://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digita...IQER0E/ref=pd_sim_e_3?tag=androidcentral00-20

[Q] No metadata through bluetooth with Google Music

Has anyone gotten the phone to send metadata to their car through bluetooth when using Google Music? It seems to work with the default music app. Is there a way to fix this or work around?
Got the same problem with Spotify and Deezer, though the latter does a better job. When streaming Spotify qua Bluetooth to my car radio (original Volkswagen RCD -510) the radio display is just showing the first streamed track name, the following song's names aren't updated correctly...
Got a Galaxy S6 GM920F on Stock Android 5.0.2
Are you steaming the songs or are they downloaded into the phone already?

Streaming doesn't work with Pandora either. It works from time to time with Milk Music.
works fine for me in both of my late model cars, with Pandora and spotify, and google play music
Has anyone figured out a work around if any possible? Weird thing is that it does show meta data for that samsung demo song the phone comes with when it plays with the default music player.
I get both streaming and downloaded or copied music while using a Kenwood DDX 719 unit.
Pandora or Milk.
Also all my contacts while making or receiving calls.

playing a radio to Chromecast 2 audio

Hello experts,
I'd love to be able to listen to this radio using your app on my tablet and streaming it to my Chromecast audio 2:
http://www.capital.it/capital/radio/live
http://radiocapital-lh.akamaihd.net/i/[email protected]/master.m3u8
Is it possible?
And how?
...I didn't fine any app really able to do it.
Thanks a lot
TuneIn has most radio stations.
If not you can try BubbleUPnP
Edit:
Just tried, I only seem to be able to cast it to a normal chromecast.
If you are rooted, AirAudio allows you to send any audio to any "cast" device. Demo is free, but has a time limit.
Use Audacity Android app. You can import stream a then cast it to CCA. Stream will go directly from source to CCA.

Doesn't have your Android a cast feature?

Anyone have GT2 and an iOS device?

What works and what doesnt (iOS 13) ?
1) Does is support app notifications?
2) Does it have health data sync?
3) Will it continuously display the current song playing on my phone? Can I use the watch to go back / forward a track?
4) Does it support pairing directly to bluetooth headphones and spotify premium (offline) music if I want to leave away from the gym?
5) Is there anyway to transfer MP3's using Windows or MacOS for offline listening if it doesn't support spotify premium if I want to leave the phone away from the gym?
6) Does it pair to the phone via bluetooth or wifi? Does it need a companion app running in background 24/7?
Anything to be aware about?

Hauwei site is lacking
Unfortunately, Spotify doesn’t offer its service to Huawei GT 2. Thus, you cannot listen to Spotify music on Huawei GT 2 now. The best method to get Huawei GT 2 Spotify is to download offline Spotify music tracks. With the Premium account, you can download Spotify music but your Spotify music are cache files.you can transfer Spotify to MP3 by using the Tunelf Spotify Music Converter which can download music from Spotify to MP3 and save Spotify music with the original audio quality. To transfer Spotify songs to Huawei GT 2, you need to move those converted Spotify music files to your phone first. Just connect your phone to your computer for uploading Spotify songs. Then import Spotify songs to Huawei GT 2 from your phone.
