Can I audio stream from my volvo c30?

[Thomas C]

I have the bluetooth, but it only seems to connect my phone book and able me to make phone calls.

I can't seem to play my music from my phone through the car.

If it doesn't have this feature can you buy something to enable me to do this?

Is really annoying. I have a 2010 Volvo c30

thanks.

The stereo probably doesn't have A2DP support.

Do you have a 3.5mm stereo jack in your arm rest? If so, you can use something like this:

Nope I don't think it does.

Thanks for trying. Bugger really.

Uless I got a USB thing that could connect that end in?

Like so it goes in my cigarette thingy.

No, you can't just plug a USB adapter into your cigarette lighter. Your lighter won't be wired into the stereo.

Unless you have a 3.5mm jack or USB connector in the bottom of your arm rest I think you're restricted to CD's and FM radio.

The is one other option, but its legality is questionable; as long as it has a CE mark then you should be okay. You can get an FM transmitter, and transmit on an FM frequency from your phone:

So something like this wouldn't work:

Thanks.

No, that's a music receiver so you'd put that into your PC/laptop and stream over bluetooth TO it FROM your phone.

The 2 I linked should get you going. You plug the 3.5mm jack into your phone, start playing music, set a transmission frequency on the box I linked, then tune your radio in to that frequency.

Ok thanks.

Sounds like too much hassle.

I can always burn particular songs I like to CD... I'll have a look to see if I have a jack somewhere in my car anyway.

thanks for your help.

It sounds (no pun intended) worse than it is. Does your stereo read MP3 CD's? Mine doesn't...

Volvo do a connector that enables you to use a usb or an iPod/phone, I know this as I had one fitted in my C30 before I picked it up.
