2G iPod Touch and Motorola Bluetooth D650 Adapter incompatibility

Hi everyone.

I owned an iPod Touch 1st Generation and used to connect the D650 Motorola Bluetooth Adapter to listen to music with the Motorola S9.

With the new iPod Touch, I discovered that the Sound goes through the built-in speakers instead of going through the Bluetooth adapter. However, I still can use the Play, Stop, Forward, Back and Volume controls on the Motorola S9 headphones.

Is this only my case or is there anyone else who has this (not particularly common) setup working?

I hope that Apple can correct this, as it appears that unless a Dock has a plug for the audio out, the volume will go through the built in speakers only.

Just to let you know, I too had the same experience using Moto D650 on my wife's new 2gen Touch. Sound continues to come from built in speaker but not from the head phones. I can control the Touch, but again no sound. I have not found a solution to this issue.

FWIW--I have a D650 and it did the same thing with my iPhone 2G, so am not surprised to see that it's not 100% functional with the 2G IPT. You might want to give the Sony BT adapter a shot since that does work with the iPhone 2G (info obtained second-hand though), so you might get similar results with the 2G IPT.

The Solution to this problem, just buy the Sony TMR-BT8iP Bluetooth Adapter for the iPod, it works fine with my 2G iPod touch, and I also have the Motorola S9s (I just tested them together today) So no worries, it works =) Just head to the sony store and buy them, if u want a fix w/ the D650, you'll probably have to bug Motorola. OR.. wait til Apple updates the 2G to support BT? =p (yes yes hear say =p)

Hi:

Yup -- the Sony BT dongle (TMR-BT8iP) works. No sound through the 2G Touch speaker and AVRCP works with both my BT headset (DR-BT21G) and cellphone heatset (HBH-DS220) . . . it's all Sony, so YMMV.
