I have a SONY CDX-C5000RV car stereo (see attach) and a Wizard.
I bought an audio cable 3.5mm stereo male plug to 2xRCA male (tested and working on my home cinema system). I pluged the 2xRCA male into the BUS AUDIO IN from the picture.
What I want to do for the moment is to plug the 3.5mm plug into any audio device (iPod, laptop) and to have the sound on the car stereo, but when I try it, there is no sound.
Am I missing something? Must I add a source selector? :?: If yes, how?
Thank you for your help
the audio bus input phono sockets on a sony deck are for the cd mutichanger, and only become active when changer is selected as a source (changer must be connected for this option).
if you do have a sony changer you could then just swap the phonos over with a cd playing and get the sound from the phone.
so this means that I have to buy a cd charger?
I read on other forums that there is another way/ to buy a XA-300 Unilink™ Auxiliary input adapter but this is very expensive.
Can I fool the head unit to think there is a CD changer connected? Can I shortcut some of the pins in the BUS control plug fooling the Head unit into thinking that a changer is connected?
Found this on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5858837454
Is it possible to connect this adapter on the Bus Control In and have audio through this adaptor? I mean, can the audio pass through the Bus Control In?
You should be able to, I've heard of people doing this with their stereos recently in VW and BMWs. There was some documentation on how to make a breakout that hooks up to any regular 3.5mm headphone adapter, but the CD controls could be used to change tracks and stuff with an iPod. It was some great stuff, it keeps things hands free so you never look away from the road really.
Hi,
I've got that to in my car... As technology is improved days after days, can't see the point to get great stereo in the car... so I'd like to use it as an ampli...
Is there a way to create a "by-pass"; something like a piece of paper clic (trombonne in French) that would tell to the SONY CDX-C5000RV a charger is connected even if it is not.... or would consider the connection as a AUX in and would only display AUX to broadcast sound signal from the Jack Plug???
Cheers

Any adaptors that will allow me to use proper 3.5 inch headphone jack in place of the mini USB ones ( i dont like the in ear phones) checked ebay and couldnt see anything?
you want get one of these http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=142090 - Mike
Ouch, that thing is both horribly badly designed and prohibitively expensive- it's going to stick out what looks like an inch by itself, most headphone plugs will add another inch on top of that- I need something that fits flush with the bottom of the phone (comes out at a right angle) AND supplies an input for the charger. One can only dream!
The orbit would make a great on-mains Wifi internet radio if such a gubbin existed- hook up some speakers, start TCPMP, sorted!
in which case if you don't like wires stop messing around and get a set of A2DP compatible headphones - the quality is very good, but far more costly than a cable addaptor - the choice is yours - Mike
Might have been worth while if I didn't use an iPod for all my portable audio needs- have you seen any A2DP compatible speakers around?
Looks like there are hacks out there, but no official products, the combination really would just turn the Orbit into an incredibly expensive Wifi radio! But where's the fun in just going out and buying a proper one!
Have a look at the products made by Parrot there are a few Bluetooth audio add on boxes, I fail to see the relevance to WiFi?? as the A2DP profile is Bluetooth - it even works on the T-Mobile MDA-CIII which has no WiFi - Mike
I say wifi radio because I listen to internet radio stations around the house using the Orbit, and the ol' tinternet comes via the wifi doohickey!
A2DP is, of course, a bluetooth profile and would be the method over which I get decent sounding audio from the Orbit to some speakers whilst still having the Orbit plugged into mains so the battery doesn't get sucked dry... that said I think the Orbit will last a good few hours streaming internet radio, although I have yet to put that to the test.
My other solution would be, as mentioned above, an adaptor that allows both the charger AND headset to be plugged in- I can't see this as being technically impossible.
With a brief cursory investigation I have discovered, I think, that the headset uses a proprietary 6-pin connection on the opposite side of the mini-usb connector. The headphones do not use the 4-pin standard mini-usb connector on the other side, but a connector that uses both should be reasonably simple to produce. Ergo it should be childs play for a third party to produce an Artemis dock that contains not only a connection to USB but a standard 3.5mm amplified microphone socket alongside a standard 3.5mm amplified stero audio jack... not to mention a button on the front of the dock for picking up calls and a volume slider if you really wanted them.
Call me crazy, but I want one of those!

Might do the trick even if it is a bit long

Dear lord! You've made my day! Hmmm, a little jiggery pokery and I might even be able to incorporate that into a dock but it'll be fantastic for charging and listening to net radio at work- takes that little extra load off my desktop PC.
Cheers!
Glad I could help

Hi,
Does anyone know if the above would work with a set of mini stereo speakers with a 3.5mm headphone jack (like the walkman speakers i used to have, back in the day...) to listen to the FM radio while charging the phone from mains? Or would you still need the headphones plugged into get any FM reception?
Daft question maybe, but I wondered whether the device would just use the speaker wires as an antenna instead of the headphone wires?
It will work fine, I am going to use mine to connect my orbit to my home stereo and charge it at the same time.

2.5mm 3 pole jack plug
Hi,
Anybody know of an Artemis mini usb to 2.5mm 3 pole jack plug adapter which allows the connection to deliver audio and microphone capability ?
I would like to connet my Artemis/Orbit to the Autocom intercom system on my motorcycle . This uses a lead with a 2.5mm jack plug at the phone end and a 3.5mm jack at the Autocom system end. Both are 3 pole.
Thanks
P.S. hope you don't mind me jumping in your postings

Is this so you can listen to music from the Orbit? I've had difficulty on my bike with this...music cuts out and wont restart after phone call is over. In the end, I bought the Autocom bluetooth dongle and now bluetooth the Orbit to the bike. I get phone calls and GPS just fine, but I use a wired iPod for music.

Does this support the Artemis? It isn't in the list....
There was a posting for the mini USB PinOut some Time ago. Look in the wiki Section to find it. Here is what they showed up with.
Maybe This will Help someone to build their own Adapter or whatsoever.

Jabami
so what was the general concensus with using Autocom? Did the 2.5mm jack work?
I want to avoid using the bluetooth option on autocom, since I might just as well go for a Scala bluetooth headset instead if the jack doesnt work...
with the new usb ports on htc devices, i wonder if it would be possible to create an adapter that would allow me toconnect a stereo audio ource for recording with something like vito audio recoder.
the reason is i need to record a live dj set soonish so its either this or modding my ipod with rockbox and a custom adapter.
usb is a serial digital interface
where 1 party have to be master and 1 slave
most pda's only do slave
and slaves cant be active in comm
also not sure why you would use usb for recording
the headset connector of phone pda's have
audio in and out
from where it can record from audio in
and connected devices can record from the pda
from audio out
well yeah, but the headset i connected to the usb port on the new thc devices.
hence my question
basically i want to connect an audiosource to my p3600 so i can record it. since there is no 2.5mm jack on the p3600 i have to do it through the special usb port
there are converters which does that
since usb is purely digital signals
i'm pretty sure the usb connector carry the analog audio
as an unstd connectors in the connector
but dont know anything about pin out
guess you can use the converter
you can prob find it at expansys
actually the htc connecteor is usb plus a few extra pins for audio. so they're predefined.
its like the regular audio jack is added ontop of the normal usb pins
anyway, expansis has no such dapter, otherwise i wouldnt be asking
sure they do
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=123774
what? that is for charging your phone with an ac adapter afaik.
doesnt have anything to do with line-in audio from what i can see
doh! wrong link

yeah ive looked at those. in fact i bought the brando one.
these either have no audio in functionality at all (they are just usefull for listening to muic), or the audio in is by means of an integrated microphone.
what i am looking for is an adapter that lets me connect an audio source to the audio in channel.
none of these do that :/
hhmm maybe you can make it yourself then by canabalising the headset that came with the device or one like it
I'm hoping someone more technical than me will be able to help.
I've added an adapter to my car stereo that basically adds an auxiliary input. I plug my Fuze into the auxiliary input using the adapter that came with the Fuze, and listen to mp3's through the car stereo. This works well, but I don't really like having the adapter and cable always hanging from the phone.
I have a wired bluethooth headset that I don't use, similar to this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982140
So it's basically a bluetooth dongle with earbuds and a mic wired to it. I was wondering if I clip off the earbuds, and splice those wires into a cable with a headphone jack, then plug the jack into the auxiliary input, will this work for playing music over bluetooth throught the car stereo?
Yep, this works! But depending on the BT-profile you will get bad audio quality with mono-sound...
I guess you get better sound if using bluetooth-stereo headphones. They should have the A2DP-profile!
Hi Folks,
Please forgive (and link) me if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I've not been able to find much..
I'm trying to build a sort of car dock so I can charge my phone, play music and satnav through my cars head unit and maybe take calls...
I've got the charging covered by using a USB cable (with a USB OTG adapter on the end so that my phone goes into Car Dock mode when it's plugged in) and 12v-USB adapter which are both going to be hidden behind the dash and fed from a 12v accessory feed.
I can butcher a line in on my cars head-unit (VW Gamma in a mk4 Golf) and would like to feed this using the same USB-OTG cable, rather than a separate 3.5mm jack connection.
I've been able to find people who have rigged up a cable like this for other phones, connecting the L/R to the USB data lines and ground to ground to effectively provide a line-out. But I haven't been able to to get the same going with my Desire Z. I've rigged this up to my phone and it opens the car dock and charges, but still plays audio over it's external speaker as it usually would.
Does anyone know if there's a way to get my Desire Z to output audio over a USB(OTG) cable please?
Thanks in advance,
'tunes
When I drove a Taxi a couple of years back I had my SGSI connected to the car stereo with a small FM transmitter. This got its power and powered my phone, through the USB port, via the cars cigarette lighter socket. Spotify supplied the music and Google maps the navigation. I did not try, but guess that a bluetooth headset would have worked if I'd had one. I should mention that the phone did discharge despite being on 'charge'! I guess constant streaming of both music and map data over a data network, full brightness and the charge to the FM transmitter was a bit much for the usb charger
I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this-it seemed like the best option for me. I know that it pertains to a GSIII accessory, but the problem I'm detailing could pertain to other car docks as well.
Up until recently, I've been using a tape deck adapter to connect my Android phone to my car stereo to listen to music, make calls, etc. I recently received an iBolt car dock for my phone for Christmas. It uses a microUSB connection to charge the phone and stream audio to the stereo. Normally, the audio would stream to an auxiliary plug in the stereo, but my car doesn't have such a plug.
My thinking was that I would get a 3.5mm stereo coupler to connect my tape deck adapter to the dock, and then to my phone through the microUSB connection. However, this doesn't seem to be working. With this setup, any music I play comes out of my phone's speaker, rather than the car stereo. What's odd is that when I connect my phone to the dock, I can hear the car stereo speakers pop a bit, indicating an audio connection.
I have confirmed that the coupler works properly with a different setup. (I connected my earbuds to my phone using an auxiliary cable as a bridge) Am I doing something wrong, or is this type of connection simply impossible for some reason? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll provide some hardware information below, if that helps.
I'm also aware that I could just keep using the tape deck adapter for sound directly, but it would be nice to eliminate that extra step in hooking my phone up.

Hi there, first of all you must make sure under "Settings - Accessory - Audio output" that this is selected when having the iBOLT Dock connected to your car 3.5 mm "cassette in" solution. It should work fine for playing music but Samsung does not transfer phone calls to an external speaker, only sounds from applications. Hope this helps?

I couldn't find the setting that you were talking about, though I found a different one that has solved the issue...sort of. I couldn't find any "accessory" menu under settings, but I did find a setting: "Settings - Advanced - Sound - Use USB Dock Audio" This lets the phone stream audio to the stereo with my convoluted little setup.
The new issue is that the sound coming out of the stereo is of terrible quality compared to simply plugging the tape deck adapter directly into the phone. I also hear a static-y, squeaky noise coming out of the speakers when nothing is playing. Is this simply due to the odd nature of the connection, or is there something I can do about it?
