    Ok, so if I have a bluetooth enabled car deck, my macbook pro which is bluetooth enabled. Can I connect the two somehow? I want this:

    Laptop in a car connected to stereo playing whatever I am playing on the laptop to come through the speakers, no matter what application. EX:

    I am in my car driving and my girlfriend is in the passenger side or friends in the back seat watching a movie on my laptop, I want the sound to come through the car speakers through the bluetooth connection. Then say the movie ends and they go into something like winamp and start playing music, I want the music to be played or streamed if you will through the bluetooth connection and the car speakers.

    IS THIS POSSIBLE??? please help... I have been searching and searching and I can't find any information on this.

    In the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, does your car deck come up in the list when searching for any device? If so, what is the type of the car deck listed in the Setup Assitant?

    more detailed instructions on what ^^^ said. cick on the bluetooth sign at the top next to the airport sign. click open bluetooth preferences. the "set up new device". then continue and fill in the bubble next to any device. it will start searching for bluetooth devices and if your car deck shows up, then yes im sure itd be possible. otherwise you might be able to do some tweaking but idk.
