Motorola S9 connected with iPhone through iCombi A2DP adapter
Ok, I am not going to post again about the lack of support for the A2DP profile on the iPhone. Instead, I am posting about one more easy solution for the A2DP connection while the iPhone users are anxiously waiting for a software update to enable that specific profile.
Neither the Motorola S9 or the iCombi Bluetooth adapter are new on the market, but I found a nice video from YouTube showing how the Motorola S9 performs when connected with a iPhone through the iCombi A2DP adapter. As shown on the video, the bond seems to be very good, and you can still handle the phone calls. When using the iPod feature, the iPhone will stop playing the music and the call can be answered normally. After the conversation has ended, just hang up and the music will continue to play. Everything can be done using the buttons of the Motorola S9, so you do not need to touch the iPhone, if you want. If you want to get the iCombi Bluetooth Adapter for iPod/iPhone, click here. Thanks dwest218 for take the time and make this video.

Seems all very easy, but my question is:
Does this setup work only for the Motorola S9 headphones, or will it work with other models of Bluetooth headphones, like (the one I’m looking at) the motorola S805?

Jonathan, I’ve seen many people using the iPhone iCombi with several different A2DP headsets with no problems. I believe that will not be different with the S805. I took few minutes to do a quick search online about the topic and I found the link below: http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/bluetooth/iphone-support-a2dp-2957.html
Check it out and you will see people talking about their experience with the A2DP adapter and their iPhones paired with different stereo Bluetooth headsets. hopefully this info will help you.

Just wanted to say thanks for the tip on the Moto S9 headset and the iCombi adapter. They work great with my iPhone! I have full control of my music and phone calls without ever touching my phone.
Note: Make sure to bind your headset to your iPhone first, then plug in the iCombi and bind your headset to it. It’s the S9’s ability to be paired with two different devices at the same time that allows it to take calls and stream music.
Even if you don’t buy the iCombi…
Don’t buy the Jabra A125s adapter. It’s BT signal is too weak and fits loosely in the iPhone. I returned mine yesterday and bought the iCombi instead — it costs more but it’s well worth the extra $$.

Brad,
Good to know that your S9 is working fine for you. About the Jabra A125s adapter, we have heard a few complaints about the week signal…
Thanks for tip about pairing the S9 with the iPhone first, and then plug is the iCombi and finally the headset to it. I am sure it will help many people having some hard time making it work properly!
Take care.

Thanks you guys. I’m new to this iphone/ motorola s9 tech stuff and have had some trouble finding the right path to take. I’m going to give your suggestion on the icombi a go.
