Problem with A2DP on SPV C550 - Please help -

[Guest tdaish]

I recently bought a pair of motorola bluetooth stereo music headphones with the impression I could pair them to my Spv c550 and listen to music on the windows media player with the luxury of not having to use wires to hear anything... After the arduous burden of pairing the headphones with the c550 I discovered that I could only hear sound through the headphones when I was making/recieving phone calls, but could not hear music through them when I wanted to listen to music on the phones media player. I later found out that the phone required something called A2DP to recognise the headphones as stereo music headphones instead of "wireless hands-free headphones". That is as far as I have got, and I am now stuck... How do I get A2DP onto the SPV c550 so that I can use my headphones to listen to music on the phone?

Welcome to the site :)

Unfortunately you can not get A2DP support for the C550 this only became available in later devices this year.

Ouch... :)

Is there nothing I can do? e.g. is it likely Motorola would sell some sort of adaptor or plugin for the device to be compatible for older phones? I know the headphones are compatible with some wireless mp3 players, but surely they dont have A2DP?

@ dutchphot the links you have been supplying will only confuse as they are not related the C550. They only mention Pocket PC devices like the Wizard. An the only Smartphone they list are WM5 devices.

The C550 is WM2003 and can not be updated to WM5.

I disagree. The links refer to WM2003(SE) also and not ONLY to WM5.0

Every link about ad2p points to that link. What the heck. Im even using it on my HP rx3715 and on my imate jam:D

And the Jam is a PocketPC.

Ok, I have done a little bit more research, and after having a lot of difficulties with the motorola customer services discovered that to get any music playback to come from your phone to your headphones, you need to buy a little bluetooth dongle called the motorola DC600 or something along those lines, and you can only listen to music through that if you own a spv c550 like me... The big catch with that is, although it works, the device is large and has no internal battery (so you cant walk around without wires :) )and that it sets you back at least another £20...

To conclude, it is possible to get wireless music playback on the spv c550, however, it costs in the region of £60-£100 to get going and when you've got it up and running you will find it impossible to carry around with you!
