Re: Music via Bluetooth Car Audio

 

Thanks for your input.

I just looked up the Bluetooth specifications for the BQ E4.5 and according
to http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/a12a30e4, the device only
supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile).
It does not list AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) as a supported
Bluetooth feature , which might explain why I am unable to control my music
from my car system.

I've tried looking for the full Bluetooth specifications for my phone on
BQ's site as well as GSMARENA, and the only thing they list is that it has
Bluetooth 4.0.

How can I determine what Bluetooth profiles my phone supports?

I've tried running "sdptool browse local" from the Terminal, but get an
error "Failed to connect to SDP server on 00:00:00:00:00:00. Host is down."

Thanks,

Marcin.
