pairing two devices without a phone

Hi All,
I'm about to get an A2DP equipped car kit installed - the Parrot
MK6000.
I'm going to use this to stream audio from my HTC Wizard.
It occurred to me that I've already got a Belkin Tunestage for my
ipod, which has a small transmitter that plugs onto the top of my ipod
and broadcasts via A2DP to a Belkin receiver plugged into my home
hifi.
I can stream audio over bluetooth to this receiver via my Wizard, so I
know it's standard A2DP with a passcode of 0000, but it occurred to me
it'd be really nice to be able to use my ipod via bluetooth with the
parrot kit.

Can anyone think of a way of pairing two bits of hardware with no
phone involved?

What do you want a phone for?

The only restriction on pairing and using BT devices is that:
1. if one or bother of the devices require authentication, then you need to
be able to specify a passcode and
2.one must support the client mode and the other must support the server
mode of the profile that you want to use.

Neither has to be a phone, although both devices could be phones. I am no
expert with ipods, but my ipaq would pair with and connect to an A2DP server
like the Parrot.

I see no problem to pair your ipod to the parrot...
the fun is to do a double streaming to 2 stereo headset with your
belkin bluetooth ipod adaptor. this would be great!!!

How often would you really like to do this? Where and when would you
want to do this?
