Navigation prompts via Bluetooth headset

[WickedSaint]

Firstly I appologize if this is in the incorrect forum. I am so far unable to find a way to have Maps transmit navigation prompts via bluetooth headset. I have 1 car that is a convertible and another in which I can't hear the prompts over the engine. Any thoughts?

bump... I was wondering the same thing... is it possible to have navigation audio through bluetooth?

same question here, I can't seem to get nav prompts via my LG HBM-210.
anyone able to do this?

well I believe I have an answer here- your bluetooth has to have the A2DP profile for audio in order for you to hear the prompts via bluetooth. The normal phone and hands free profiles won't do it.

I imagine this will be of no real help to anyone that can not access or verify the use of the aforementioned BT profiles....but this works on my LG EnV using VZ Nav. I guess if any of you can figure what BT profiles are in use on the EnV we should be able to get answer as to whether this should work with the Droid.

i get voice prompts on my droid via bluetooth with my motorola s9

kinda off topic, but something i have been playing with is connecting the droid to the radio in my car. i travel alot for work and have been using pandora on the phone rather than changing the station or listening to cd's. but the phone will mute pandora and say the directions then start playing pandora again.

alot of the new radios coming out have bluetooth and i wonder how well it would work if you connect your phone to your radio rather than an ear piece.

not sure if it will, i had pandora on my storm and i could listen thru my bluetooth, but on the droid it doesnt give that option

The Motorola S9 are stereo headsets that utilize the A2DP BT profile, so not applicable in this case.

I believe you do need an A2DP compatable BT. I have one and it works fine. I also listen to audio books from my Droid over the car radio via cassett adapter and nav directions work also.
