HFP Keeper: Hands-Free Audio

Many older cars, and some Bluetooth headsets, radios and intercoms, only support the Hands-Free Profile (HFP), the one used for phone calls. With those devices, most video and music apps stay silent, because they only send audio over the stereo media profile (A2DP). HFP Keeper fixes this. Tap Connect and the app opens and holds the hands-free link to your device, so audio from your other apps plays through it. Older car with Bluetooth calling but no music streaming? HFP Keeper can play navigation, podcasts and music through the car speakers, over the same connection your calls use. • Works with call-only car systems and car kits, HFP-only headsets, radios and intercoms • Keeps the link open in the background • Reconnects automatically after calls and when the device returns • Shortcuts action: connect automatically when your device connects • Shows which device and audio route is actually in use Tested and confirmed with the Lafayette Smart+ Bluetooth. Other devices that support the Hands-Free Profile should work too. If you use HFP Keeper with another device, let us know through the support page so we can add it to the list. Good to know: • Audio is mono and phone-call quality. This is a limit of HFP, not of the app. • The microphone indicator is on while connected. iOS only opens the hands-free link when the microphone is in use. Nothing is recorded, stored or sent anywhere. HFP Keeper is not affiliated with or endorsed by Lafayette.
