Default Ipod bluetooth connection

I've got a Bury CC9060 handsfree kit which was with the car when i bought it; i've been trying to connect my ipod touch to it through bluetooth but can't suss it out.
The ipod say's it's connected to the handsfree and when i play music there's an additional bluetooth symbol appearing in the bottom of the ipod scrreen, but the handsfree says not connected.
So, is it actually possible to connect an ipod touch via the handsfree kit?

Hi mate - my personal experience with anything bluetooth related to the iphone is that apple products don't like connecting to anything that isn't made by Apple.

Have you tried it with another phone by any chance that has music and BT?

I hope you get it sorted.

-Oli

I've not tried it with music off the phone, probably because i've no music loaded on it. Maybe next step will be to load some music on my nokia phone and see if it's an apple compatability issue like you suggest.

I think Oli's right.

Unless you jailbreak it and install some additional software it's unlikely to work.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Apple have only installed a partial or reduced bluetooth stack? (whatever that means) to stop it working as a normal bluetooth device.

The frustrating bit is that the v3 software which enabled the bluetooth function in the ipod (2G) is reported to support A2DP (whatever that means) - yet the bury kit still keeps displaying the message "no A2DP device connected".

Tried the Nokia this evening, managed to get music on the microSD card; phone connects to the handsfree, play music on the phone (volume now muted because it's transmitting via bluetooth) but the music app on the bury won't load, hence no music...

At least the CD multi-changer still works

for all intents, A2DP is stereo bluetooth, previously Bluetooth only supported a mono audio channel.

What model of Nokia do you have?

Had a play around with the phone connection this morning, phone now connects to the handsfree, media player on the phone now being controlled via the music app on the handsfree but no music...looks like the audio connection isn't wired into the head unit.
Got the nav plus system fitted so just got to suss out how to wire the audio into it.

You can get an A2DP plug in transmitter that fits into the bottom of an iPhone or iPod which sends as A2DP signal then - I have one at home which i use to send music to my portable bluetooth speaker.
They are all about £14 or £15ish
A2DP adaptor

Thought one of those might be the answer; but it looks like the handsfree isn't fully wired in so i might just use one of the FM modulator adapters rather than stripping all the dash apart to suss out the wiring. I've had the side trims off the gearbox tunnel today and there's remnants of at least another 2 phone kits in there as well
