is there a way to use the bluetooth for anything besides just using it for the phone? like using it to stream music from my phone (Blackberry tour 9630). thanks

 

not that I'm aware of

 

Yes, I use it to play music from my iphone =)

Once you've connected your phone to your car
You need to get to the option where it says BT-A: Bluetooth Audio.

 

This might be a change in 2010 models- I'd have sworn I've seen previous threads (with pre-10 nav systems) stating there was no A2DP profile on the system (meaning no streaming music)

 

^Oops, I didn't realize the OP was asking about 09'- models.

 

I wonder if it's possible with a firmware update? I mean the technology is there, but needs to be written...

I own a 06 is250 with Nav and I think that would be an awesome feature to stream AD2P signal and get pandora. For now I use the Aux input which isnt so bad supppose.

 

this post is more so just for info. In my 2010 IS-C I am able to upload my contacts to Nav via BT, listen to pandora or music on my SD card and control it via steering wheel. I have a mytouch3g

 

Pretty sure the technology isn't there.

06-09 has a Gen V nav system. 2010 is a Gen VI

 

True. The 06-09 only have the handsfree and object push bluetooth profiles.

 

booo.. thank you all for getting back to me though!

 

I have it on my '10 IS, it was not on my '07

 

It's not really all that though...

It does not display Artist, Album, or Song information while playing music over bluetooth.

 

I have a my touch 3g also. What update are u running because I cant a2dp or upload contacts via BT. Help me?

 

I'm not bothering w/ it.
I picked up a 16gb USB Stick on Amazon for $32 and stuffed it w/ music
I just plugged it in to the USB jack and leave it.

 

I havent done any update. I paired my phone, under the phone feature you can upload contacts via BT. I'll go test it out again and check the sequence and get back to you.
