Hi All,

I'm trying to use the Motorola S9 stereo headset both for calls and for stereo audio from my iPhone. I've read all the posts I could find on this topic and tried everything that I found without any luck.

I have a Sony BT adapter dongle (model TMR-BT6iP) and the iPhone has the current 1.1.3 firmware. I can connect the S9 to the iPhone's built-in BT to use as a headset OR I can connect the S9 to the Sony dongle to use as stereo headphones. The S9 works well in either case, but will not connect to both the iPhone's built-in BT & to the Sony adapter's external BT and thus switch between calls and music. The S9 manual implies that it can do this, and many posts in the forums also claim it will worth this way.

I've read that one should pair the S9 to the iPhone first (as a headset) and then to the Sony adapter second (as headphones). That didn't make a difference. If listening to music, the S9's won't do anything on the "phone" side, and vice versa.

The S9's actually sound pretty good when connected to the Sony adapter until such time as the iPhone's BT stack is updated. However, it's really inconvenient to take off the S9's and put the phone to my head if a call comes in while I'm listening to music.

Anyone have advise?
