Bluetooth/MP3/Pandora???

Gas Man · 08-02-2011, 06:37 PM

Ok I bought a new Garmin Road Tech Zumo 660. It has a, yet to be determined, "nice" phone bluetooth setup. It's nice if it works well. I'm unsure about the microphone setup.

It bluetooths with my phone fine, I can make & receive phone calls from the garmin, even see my phones phonebook, and call logs.

It has a MP3 player that works well.

HOWEVER, it won't receive streamed audio data from the phone (ie: pandora) to the garmin.

The motorcycle kit provided with my HD version has an audio out stereo plug that I can plug into my stereo input plug on my radio of the bike.

I want to be able to listen to pandora on my phone and still be able to hear the garmin navigation... all via the same singular stereo input on my bike.

The garmin will bluetooth to a audio headset.
I do have a 3:1 stereo adapter I can run. But that is simply MORE cords!

Is there a bluetooth "junction box" that will have a stereo audio out???? Receive the headset audio from the garmin and bluetooth audio data from the phone (pandora)????

Trying to get this new crap setup and tested before my run south to the BRP & Rally.

I don't think you can blue tooth the phone to two different "headsets" one for the phone the 660 and one to the audio...

I have the 660 as well and that's annoying... but I'm not a huge fan of pandora anyhow.

I put my music on my garmin and play it from there. but I usually listen to Audiobooks on trips anyhow

Nope... can't do. I already have a headset that integrates everything else on my bike.

I have the 550, derf

Gas, you can't use audio on your phone through your garmin to your headset. The garmin isn't capable of that.

My phone isn't cable of differentiating between two bluetooth sources, so I can't have two device connected to it at once to do the phone to garmin, phone to sena, sena to garmin setup. There may be other phones where you can have the audio pairing going to one source and data pairing going to another, but mine isn't capable of that.
