Bluetooth Stereo Profile (A2DP) and Remote Control Profiles were available for iPhone 3G starting from firmware 3.0, but wasn't available for original iPhone. This tiny application A2DP Enabler fixes this.
Technically it should be compatible with any A2DP Headset, but since it seems iPhone BT module is quite weak RF signal, I'd recommend trying few headsets to check what fits you. Lennie from http://a2dp.info agree to recommend best headsets from her collection, but until this review complete please post your experience here.
Requirements:
- original jailbroken iPhone with firmware 3.0 or better
- Cydia Installer. The others may also work, but I never tested.
This application is beta, openssh installed is highly recommended in case something is wrong with application.
I love hearing your feedback, please e-mail me your results.

does this work with a regular mono headset? i tried using it but i still get audio through the speaker
tested with a a2dp headset from SE and works just fine!:D a shame though that you cant change volume on the iphone cause my headset doesnt have a volume switch, just play/pause:P(Know this is apples fault not yours) good work.
can you also work on peer-peer thanks
Yeah please works on peer to peer man!! please and thanks
OMG works also peer to peer!!!!! u are the man!
It works really? I have only one iPhone with me to check by myself.
I saw a SDK sample is trying to perform discovery instead of complaining about unsupported feature, but one of our reader reported that it only discovers peers not actually connects.
asd
can you please explaiin how did you
connected iphone 2g peer to peer
how did you checked it ?
what application use to connect one device to the other ?
ok seems it not fully working but for example with alive4ever and flightcontrol when i go to multiplayer i didnt get the pict that says" iPhone not supported" i can host and search but cant find host
Sure there is e-mail address on this blog main page exactly for this purpose :) It's a picture to fight with spammers.
I tried it and it work's great, I can even adjust the volume on my headset, but the problem is I cannot use the next button, I hope u can do about this. And please don't expire this application. It help a lot. Thanks!
works like charm, but is only untill dicember 1st, tnx
I love you, I have been waiting A2DP in my 1st gen iPhone for a long long long long time.
It work for my i-tech 802 headset,
but the vol not work!
thank.
Looks good. Now I can finally use the stereo bluetooth headphones I've had sitting around forever. I'll definitely try this out sometime soon along with your USB Drive app and post results. Thanks, and good work. This is what jailbreaking is all about!
thanks, buddy. that's a great job. we love you. we are waiting for this app for a long time. if you can explain how is work. we appreciate. you know how many people try to work on that. but only you success . you are the one.
professional......
Would you be able to make something that allows full advanced AVRCP (to allow foward/previous track skipping with BT stereo headphones) on iPhone as well? I have Motorola S9 HDs and would really like to see this feature implemented...
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS AND WAITING A LONG TIME. WORKS GREAT WITH MY MOTOROLA S805.ONE THING, IF YOU COULD ADD VOLUME SUPPORT AND CHANGING TRACKS. THANKS AND GOD BLESS
regarding the volume control issue
its only in the hardware (the stereo headset)
regarding the AVRCP
apple so far does not support thise profile
could be that in the next updates they will support it
i know that nokia n95 does support
AVRCP.
hope i help you with my answers
Great job!
Any chance to get also audio playback between iphone and car radio?
That would be niiice :D
how do you get the stereo headset icon to come on the screen...im on 3.0 does that make a difference...i tried it in an 05' Acura TL and motorola headset...the calls work beautifully but the stereo headset is not visible.
oh man, this is dream come true!!!
thousand thanks!!!
Вы делаете удивительные программы!
Спасибо!
Works Great so far.
Feedback: Audio playback does not continue between calls.
long live my freind you have done excellent job it would be lovely to see avrcp controls now.
My heartiest congratulations
Congratulation my friend, very good job!
tested on iTech Clip R35 headphones, and works perfectly.
Thank you! Paolo Italy
Really great app. BTW is it possible to control the audio quality (change compression protocols, since most devices use crapiest codec for compatability by default). I remember doing that manually in Win mobile registry long time ago and that really helped the audio quality. Anyway if it's possible to do it would be nice. Jabra BT620s works fine exept next\prev track controls.
Thank you for sharing with us.
Please keep on tickering with it.
It's great.
Using Sony DR-BT22 headphones.
I can change the volume. But not the tracks. No big deal, it's still great.
it appears that this doesnt work on mono devices...for stereo bluetooth...it only takes calls for mono devices
Does not work when intelliscreen installed (errors diring installation of A2DP Enabler )
Any ideas?
Thank you for the report about IntelliScreen conflict.
However I to install A2DP Enable from Cydia with Intelliscreen enabled and everything works fine. So t oresolve this conflict I'd need some information about your device, FW version, IntelliScreen version, install method and error message.
Probably e-mail is better for such information :)
I've sent you mail
Works great :-)
-until Iphone goes into "sleep"
(Screenprotection/Screen Off)
Hope this will be fixed :-)
Thanks a lot.
wow, it's working. But can't recive call. No ringtone, no microphone, no sound. waiting another beta =)
Ganbayar Khishigjargal, there is no reason to wait for the next beta, because this isn't A2DP Enabler bug. This application enables A2DP and this function works fine. The rest is Apple's implementation of BT and firmware of your Headset.
For example my headset works really good in phone call handling when I listen to music via a2dp and this isn't a common problem based on my GMail Inbox folder.
So I'd try a different headset first.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. It doesn't boot, but got ssh. Already delete app, but it isn't enough. What else to do?
Contact me using e-mail and provide some details about your device, firmware version and what have you done. Unfortunately nobody is able to help you without details.
does not work with my jabra bt3030 headset.
Dear Dmytro
I think that your A2DP Enabler is good enough and you should make this beta to a final version, the bugs that exist when using a bluetooth headset is the bugs that Apple has, not yours. So please release a final version and don't make this app expires. My English is kinda bad so can you excuse it because I'm a Vietnamese.
P/S: Love your apps. Thank you very very much.
Thank you so much for fixing this. It's Apple's insult to original iPhone owners.
apple says A2DP cant work in iphone 2g couse hardware problems, but this guy show us apple just want sold 3g and 3gs and dont care about costumers
Is working with a SE HBH-DS980 ;-)
YOU ARE GENIUS THANK YOU FOR THIS APP YOU SHOW EVERYBODY THAT APPLE IS TRYING TO RIP OFF PEOPLE
I WANT TO ASK YOU IF YOU CAN MAKE A UPDATE TO CHANGE THE BETA TO A FINAL BECAUSE THIS IS READY YOU DID A GOOD JOB THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Hi I am Using a dell Bluetooth headset and it works fine except the foward and backwork buttons....nothing happens when i press these buttons on the headset.,...other than that everything workd fine....
Great going...
Hi, i'm interesting in Jabra HALO, does anyone has tested it?
Great Job works excelent please dont expire the application dude thanks from México city
Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo works fine, good quality, good range, excelent work, thanks.
using my jabra bt3030 and it works great except that the lowest volyme is high as hell. trying to update the jabra firmware now:P
Does not work with HP (Logitech) A2DP Headset; gets not detected by the iPhone.
Hey Dmytro,
Great program, works well with my Motorokr T505. Can stream music from iPhone 2G (original) via Bluetooth to my in car stereo, and any other FM radio. If you decide to charge for this after beta expires in December 2009, please keep @ $2 USD. I will definitely buy but only at that price.
Well Done! I received the Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 yesterday and, after applying your A2DP mod, it works like a charm with my 2G iPhone. I was surprised at the excellent range with this headset as well. I too would like to see the next track option via AVRCP if possible. Thanks.
I use with 2G iPhone 3.0.1 & ALTEC Lansing model after install A2DP.It's working but the sound start/stop all the time (Intermittence) Volum Control Ok but Tracking change feature does not work.
PERCECT connection with Toyota navigarion system!
Very good!
PERFECT connection with Toyota navigation system!
Very good!
Thanks A BUNCH I had to restore
J/K
Works perfectly, seriously thx ALOT
<3 ^_^
Works great with Motorola headset!
THANKS A LOT!
Let me know when we can buy the final version.
Maybe you could add prev/next button support til then.
Thank u so much for this. But I Can't find it on your repo.
Help!?!
OMG!!!! your a Genius!!! iphone an Iphone 2g 3.1.2, works great. no problems at all. :D
I forgot to mention that I am using a pair of Motorola s805's and they are amazing.
works perfectly in sony DR-BT50 except tracks movement.
great app
testing plantronics voyager 855 the app works great except one tiny bug wile listening to music a call comes through i tap the answer button i cancel the call and my phone keeps vibrating no matter what i do any one else experience this ?
Unlimited Thanks
You have done what no one could do for past two years & saved me from upgrading to "not so exciting" 3G S.
Your both applications are ground breaking
You seem to have a great future!
YOUR FAN
Tested with Motorola S9. Paired OK but audio is choppy at times ?
Joe
I'd love it if you could make this work with mono headsets as well. You just need to force enable the speaker selection in the music app. I know it's not a2dp but it seems like you have a good grasp of how it all works. I can use a call back but it's annoying.
Thanks good luck
Excellent work man......
I wanted this feature since the original iphone came out! And then apple disappointed again by not including A2DP in 3.0 for 2G iphone.
I m so happy man,cant believe it.
Thanks a tonnnnnnn....
oh, by the way i m using it with Sony DR-BT10CX stereo bluetooth earbuds, works flawless..Volume control works too.
Thanks again.
Absolutely beautiful! You have answered my prayers! I am using with Kensington BT3071 headphones.
Great news for those that want to use Bluetooth headphones and Bluetooth speakers with the older iPhones. Great job!
I must be a complete idiot, because I can't find your apt.dmytro repository on my cydia ... nor A2DP Enabler
I have a jailbroken Iphone 2 G with OS 3.1, but still the apt doesn't show in CYDIA !?
How and where do I download and install A2DP Enabler on my iphone?
I have been waiting for this forever... And you making this work for the 2g iphone just proves that apple is a bunch of scam artist. It was pretty devistating to 2g owners on the day that 3.0 was released. I hope the EFF uses examples like this to with the warfare on making jailbreaking legal.
WOW!!that's a great job!but can the expire date extend!
Thanks so much
Are you looking into somehow adding the AVRCP for the final version. This would be the icing on the cake... I'm sure that it is possible especially since you have done the impossible, according to apple. There excuse is the hard ware is not capable...Yeah right..Thanks a Million for your useful hack, it has saved me at least $60 on a sony bt dongle for my son's iphone..
Awesome...perfect
Dmp, you're awesome. I just installed this onto my iPhone 2G, and it works flawlessly!
Much appreciated!
Rob
now i can change music whit buttons, tnx a lot, just works little laged but i think is my bt dongle
Hi there, does this work with the iphone on sw version 2.0 i dont want to upgrade FW to 3.0 as it will re-lock my sim (altho i know it can be done, i dont know how to and my local store is chargin $70 to unlock my iphone!)
So, will this work without updating the firmware to 3,0??
No, firmware 3.0 or better is required to enable a2dp.
HOLY CRAP! Thank you so much!!
Great work. This works just fine to connect to my car stereo. Cannot switch song (forward and backward commands do not work), but this is clearly not a big issue.
What will happen in December? How can we continue this?
Im gonna check it tonite as im getting a bluetooth compatible stereo headset and i was worried by reading info from other sites that my 2g wont be able 2 support hearing music thro a2dp if this thing works u rock man i've been waiting a long time for this thank you very much dude...
I love you really dude thanks
Im using Jabra its works great .... but im unable to increase the vol on the phone :( is there a fix ??
WORKS GREAT! U R THE MAN!!!!
It Expires Today Please Update!!!!!
Already missing your app! Please extend the beta or make a full release soon!
this is a very good application, thanks. but it already expired. if it can add a shortcut of bluetooth switch in A2DP, that's perfect.
Doesn't seem expired to me! I installed the latest one and it doesn't have the (beta) tag anymore. Plus the comment in the about box says Dec 1
Fantastic..working with my LG car system. lovvvvvvvvvvving it, keep up the good work...
Thanks... extremely useful.
I was considering upgrading my perfectly good iPhone 2G because of the lack of A2DP as greedy apple said the 2G is not capable of A2DP!!
If you could take it a step further and develop AVRCP, I shall worship you :)
I really dont have words to praise your help with this application..Works like heaven with my new new SONY - DR-BT160AS..
Thanks a LOT!!!
If anyone has a fix in increasing the volume through the phone pls post it
wow nice work!
just discovered this!
looks like this is finished and polished,any chance that you make it now work peer to peer?
we will really appreciate that :D
Great software! But there is one annoying problem.
When the a2dp profile is enabled and headset is selected in iPod app ALL system sounds goes to headset only, including ring alerts, i.e. I can't hear that the phone rings!
If I then switch sound output to speaker the phone rings as usually but this is not a solution because when connection is lost and then restored (walk out from headset, for example) the output sets to BT automatically and thus still no ring alerts.
Great app!! works excellent!!
one problem though..
when connected to my headset the ring from incoming calls sounds only insinde my earpieces and not the phone speaker..
any solution to that..?
Thanks for your hard work on this app/enabler. I just got my stereo bluetooth headset last night and tested it out. It seems to be working great so far! I have the Plantronics Voyager 855 with the iPhone 2g. Thank you very much! I feel so indebted to people who know so much. Its humbling to be reaping the benefits of your hard work. Thank you so much for contributing to the community!
seems that it's not a2dp bug (see my post above), but "my" bug!
i use AnyRing app for my ringtone which playes music from my mp3's!
whith the default ringtone everything works perfect!!
iphone 2g fw 3.1
headset bb-04
When I try to add the source http://apt.dymtro.me i get a message "Did not find Repository".. Any suggestions?
Same problem here as well :(
Dmp, great app! Thanks for taking the time to develop. I know from experience the enormous amount of time it takes to develop, especially when you have to reverse engineer someone else's chip. My Motorola S9-HD headset works pretty much the exact same as it would on a 3G iPhone.
Hello, Someone has happened that after activating, matching, not bluetooth icon appears on the player.
I tested with "bluetoth profile" and see that is connected to the handsfree profile, so if you connect the iphone but since it appears the bluetooth option to play music I can not try.
I have the OS 3.1. and the latest version of the repo.
Thank you very much, if someone can help me.
