I did try a search, as I was sure this must have been covered previously, but found nothing. Perhaps my search skills are lacking. Anyway....

I was wondering if there is a way to link a BT-enabled PC laptop to the HFL? In theory, you should be able to set the HFL up as a "headset" then stream mp3's to it.

I did manage to pair the laptop to the HFL. It was a wierd feeling. Like I was witnessing some sort of electronic machine sex thing. But, the HFL recognized the PC and the PC showed the HFL as connected. However, I couldn't get any further than that. When I tried to setup a headset service or an audio gateway it would fail.

Anybody else try this out?

(...head down...waiting for the "search is your friend" flames...)

 

if the PC is transmitting Hands Free Profile, yeah you could connect to it, but no you wouldn't be able to stream mp3s

 

why not? how is it different from transmitting any other audio? although i doubt it would be true stereo even if one could. hmmm...

 

Anything is possible... but it is probably more work than it is worth. I say get an IPOD and do one of the hookups others around here have done.

 

the system is designed to work with phones, and phones only, to transmit phone data, esentially its connecting to the phone, to use its GSM/cellular phone protocol to call someone. Its not a simple audio stream as you think.
