Nokia Bluetooth audio adapter coming?

by Marc Perton, posted Feb 8th 2006 at 8:45PM

So, while the FCC was busy approving Nokia's N91 musicphone, it looks like the Feds also gave their blessing to the company's AD-42W Wireless Audio Gateway, which allows the phone (and, presumably, any other Bluetooth device with A2DP support) to transmit audio over Bluetooth to a stereo system or powered speakers. Nothing too exciting here; just a box with RCA jacks. Still, we'd like to give it a try, especially with other Bluetooth audio products that might be coming down the pike.

Wow, it really seems that Nokia is intent on branching out into other aspects on their tech sector rather than just mobile phones.

Ok, next I need them to come up with a cheapo UPnP device that hooks up to the tv so I can play videos from their upcoming UPnP/WiFi enabled phones.

It is BTH 2.0 with GAVDP profile.
Not bad.

Errrm...
Is it just me or do I see 4 RCA-Jacks ?
What does that mean ?
Sending and receiving via A2DP ?
Receiving analog, digital and video ?
Splitting the signal ? ('d be the most stupid solution)

Yes, sending and receiving. No video. The A in A2DP stands for AUDIO. BTW, Motorola has one of these that came out last year. Nokia always was a me-too company.

I'm sure it's like Motorola's DC800 transceiver. http://motorola.digitalriver.com/DRHM/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=motostor&Locale=en_US&Env=BASE&productID=38603000

@wismann
Just like the motorola, 2 jacks for left and right audio in, and 2 for left and right out for pass through.

Looks very cool, with the previous similar product from Moto, was there any problems with sound quality? Is any lost, or is it dependent on the stereo system you attach the adaptor to?
