The problem that many Sync users interested in Audible.com DRM'd content is that we can't use Sync to play the audiobook via the USB connection and therefore can not control the playback using voice commands or the dash console.

I really appreciate your reply. I'm certain this will be of help to many. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve my problem.

Pete,

I paired my device (moto droid to the car) and enabled Bluetooth media streaming. This normally is used to play the music on your device but if you stop that any audio you play will go over the car's speakers, just like it would with a Bluetooth headset.

After I am paired and in Bluetooth streaming I simply launched the app I wanted to listen to and enjoyed.

If you need more help let me know.

I've searched the web regarding Ford Sync and Audible and can not find a single example of someone describing specifically HOW this was done. In fact, I contacted <a href="http://Audible.com" rel="nofollow">Audible.com</a> tech support yesterday evening and was told that I could try to make this happen with an ipod, but that it probably would not work even with that. Many people have tried and failed to play <a href="http://Audible.com" rel="nofollow">Audible.com</a> audiobook content with Ford Sync. I'm very confident you could drive A LOT of content through your site by posting this info. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to repeat the search terms Ford Sync <a href="http://Audible.com" rel="nofollow">Audible.com</a> audiobooks in there, too, so folks trying to find this answer can cut through all the uninformative spam. I look forward to reading about the specific hardware used to make this Ford Sync / audiobook connection. Please describe exactly how you streamed Audible and Rhapsody content using Sync.
