PDA --> Car speakers?

Is that possible to send music to my car audio speakers through an HTC TYTN?
Thanks.

Yes, I use a 1 to 3 USB convertor and then plug a phono to cassette convertor.

yes it is, i done it myself
firstly you need to make one of these
youl need a 3.5mm stereo connector, cut the earphones supplied with your tytn and attach it to the connector

once you done that you need to get a radio transmitter (£15-£30 check ebay) and plug it into your 3.5mm stereo connector

as you can see there are different ways of doing it. You could also use a bluetooth enabled car radio (very cool)

i beleive my ways the cheapest, you can plug in better earphones into the tytn and get better sound aswell

i used to use one of those but stop'd when i got a car stereo which had SDcard input and usb input
was about 75$ so no biggi

my alpine stereo plays mp3 but playing tunes and even running tomtom thru the car speakers is great

can u explain how u did this.. once u cut the usb thing how do u connect it? just chop off a 3.5 thing from another set of ear phones?

have a look part way down this list of Artemis based goodies http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modul...pic&t=48131&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=51 there is an 11 pin mini USB to 3,5MM socket available as an accessory for the HTC devices, much easier than chopping up your headphones for a direct link try http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=6982
While looking for the above link I came accross this though http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=9736 Which looks even more suited to do what you need, having looked again at this last item I cannot believe what you get for less than a tenner, USB audio cable, USB charger cable and an FM transmitter, the whole lot can be used at once so you can charge the PDA and liten to music via FM - great - Mike

Xdaman85 - I've chopped the heads of a set of headphones for an orbit, can you tell me wire goes where in the stereo socket? I know I could buy an adapter but doing it myself is much more fun.
Thanks
Eoin

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284512 contains a wiring diagram of the 11 pin mini USB connector, that might be of some use when doing this - Mike

nope this has nothing to do with it.. because once u chop the wire from the headset the heatset only has 1 wire

Actually it does, because when I strip it back it contains all these wires. What I need to know is what is to be connected up in the stereo line socket and where!!

MiniUSB (not extUSB) to 3.5mm adapter

Hi Guys,
I have ASUS p320 winMo phone. I am searching for a miniUSB to 3.5mm adapter for connecting normal earphones to the phone...
There are plenty available for HTC phones and i'm sure ASUS has similar mini USB interface as HTC but problem is HTC have extUSB which has slightly different shape than regular miniUSB...extUSB pin is curved one side only unlike miniUSB which is curved at both ends...so it can not fit my phone
Are there anywhere selling miniUSB to 3.5mm adapter, which ship internationally and preferably having form factor without wires like this

Regards,

the difference between miniUSB and extUSB is that ext carry analog audio
where miniUSB is just a digital serial interface as in most of it not being audio
plugging a 3.5mm headset or otherwise audio device into an miniUSB is like
trying to connect a mic to a fax

Actually asus port is extUSB(ie has 11pins) but its port shape is miniUSB...

After much searching, I couldn't find anything like this for my Asus P565/XDA Zest. I ended up with one of these:
http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2007/...lessly-blasts-tunes-from-phone-to-hifi-or-pc/
If you don't mind the extra pocket space...

Ok guys, i managed to fit the HTC adapter which i've bought for my asus by filing the extUSB to minUSB
it now fits. When i plug in the adaptor connected with an earphone i do get the handsfree icon on my phone....but when I play i don't get any sound in my earphones..
I fear that some of things i tried with the adapter before filing it may have damaged it, so there's no sound now...
Do you guys think it would work if I should get a new adapter and file it again since I do get the earphone icon on my device when i connect it?

This one has some mixed reviews on it...

This is the same thing I get with that Motorola adapter. I assume that the adapter you have doens't have the correct number of pins either. I don't think you've damaged the socket at least

Found this on ebay. Not so mini but at least you can plug your own headphones into it.
EDIT: Or this is smaller and without the microphone, just not quite as small as the HTC adaptors.

I think the second adapter is a bit too long & unflexible. The first one though, considering I now use what is essentially an external MP3 player, looks promising and will no doubt provide better audio quality. I'll check that out, thanks!

Mini-B car charger

This is a multi-part question so please read carefully
Unless it's my only option, I do NOT want to purchase a car charger made specifically for the EVO b/c of the Micro-B connector. I do, however, have plenty of car chargers that have a Mini-B connector. Now, I know I can't use those b/c they won't fit, BUT, I have my old USB "dongle" from my Touch Pro, which has an audio plug plug in it and the audio plug is next to the usb IN. This benefits me greatly b/c the setup in my car makes it a pain to have a charger going into the bottom and the audio going into the top. This way I could plug both, car charger AND audio into the dongle and plug the dongle into my phone. This worked beautifully w/ my Hero but the Hero had a Mini-B so the dongle fit right in.
Now, to make the dongle fit into my EVO, I have a tiny converter plug which has a female Mini-B and a male Micro-B.
So my question is this: since there is so much info on here regarding fast-charging, regular charging, amperage, voltage, etc.; please tell me what specs does my charger need so that it won't ruin the battery.
Like I said, I've got plenty of Mini-B chargers - do I need a 5v, 3v, 1 amp, 0.5 amp?

Do you actually get sound out doing it this way? I was always under the impression that even with a mini to micro adapter sound still would not come out using the HTC adapter.
If this works for you I need to get a mini to micro...would make my in car setup look so much better! Instead of the whole on plug on top and bottom that I have going on.

Physically impossible.
The Hero had an ExtUSB port, which is a port physically compatible with Mini-USB but has extra pins for audio in addition to the power and data pins.
The Evo has a standard microUSB port, which only has power and data pins. There's no way to get audio out of the microUSB port on the Evo.
The only ways to get audio out are the headphone port, the HDMI port, and Bluetooth.
Anyway, I'm in the same boat. I had a car mount for my Hero that let me just plug the one cable in, and it provided audio, microphone, and power all at once. I just ordered a new car stereo with Bluetooth instead for the Evo.

Dang...I could go the bluetooth route...I just don't like playing with bluetooth, idk why.

My experience in the past is that Bluetooth has been more than a little finicky, but so far with the Evo and two car stereos (a Boss 755DBI and a JVC KD-R810) it's been rock solid. I actually like being able to leave it in my pocket or take it down from the mount without interrupting the audio signal or call.

Yeah, I am thinking about getting the Kensington LiquidAUX, and giving bluetooth a go. My stereo only has a AUX input, so I need to get something if I want bluetooth.
Plus, the remote would allow me to control without having to have the phone out, so I can leave it in my pocket if I feel to lazy to put it in my mount
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=206684059&listingid=65080086&&

I had that thing with my Hero, and it rarely worked at all, let alone well. Maybe it'll be better with the Evo.
Be sure to buy it somewhere you can return it.

Car dock phone audio

Hey guys, I've searched extensively for this but I really need a mod/app/kernel / rom that will allow phone call audio out on the original samsung car dock. Music works fine and it's loud and clear on car stereo but phone calls just get routed to phones own loudspeaker.
The Dock plugs into phone via micro usb then you plug in a 3.5mm headphone jack and separate charging cable into the dock itself
Any help would be really appreciated!

A mechanical alternative might be to get an audio jack splitter and a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, then plug that into the top of the phone and the other end into the splitter, which then goes into the dock with the one spare female jack being for a cable to the car audio input. No clue if that will work though, but in theory...

That's a good idea but liked the fact the dock is pretty hassle free. Just pop the phone in and everything is connected. Anyone have any other solutions or links to custom ROMs that have sorted this issue?

An audio splitter splits the audio, it does not combine it. What you want is a mixer, which is a different product (and usually much more expensive). A mixer is designed to attenuate the signal from the two inputs so that the combined output doesn't overload the speakers.
So in theory, it would not work. But in practice you might be able to get away with it as long as you don't try to use both phone outputs at the same time. But if you care about the speakers on your car, I wouldn't risk it.
To the OP, I think the phone will send both music and calls over Bluetooth, so you might look into a Bluetooth adapter for your car as a possible solution. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Britelink-Bluetooth-Audio-Receiver-Portable/dp/B0059M4G9K

Thanks for the advice!

I know what you mean, but I don't think adding dual inputs to the line-in would in any way affect the actual speakers. I've used this method on various gear before and the result varies. Sometimes they mix fine, sometimes one signals essentially mutes the other.
A simple solution guaranteed to work however is to make a splitter that has a switch. More cumbersome, but it would allow you to manually switch from one input to the other when a call comes in.

surely it would be a quick coding hack to a ROM which would allow phone audio to be routed through the dock, after all that is what happens to music and GPS instructions... so why not phone audio!?

I suggest emailing the dev and asking which ones

I'm using CheckROM and I tried to use the Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector but it was unsuccessful. Maybe with samsung stock ROM?! Have anyone tried this!?

i read someone had luck on resurrection ics rom...but not the last release...

maybe you'd be interested on this thread....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531483

Try westcrip 8.6 ics resurrection ROM.
Works for me with phone and music through car speakers.
Please report back your findings (I am wondering if there is something else to this)
Note: I am sure it has to do with the kernel used.
Thx

I tried dock sound with GB 2.3.6 and works fine.
I think there's no suport for this dock with CM(7 or 9)

Help: car aux cable

My sgs3 is only 2 days old. I'm on the stock Rom. Not rooted.
When I plug my Mytouch 4g slide into my 3.5 mm audio cable, it assumes I am plugged into headphones and starts playing music through my car. (The headphone symbol shows up on the status bar.)
With my gs3. I plug the phone into my car and it continues playing music through my phone speaker and ignores the fact that I have a 3.5mm cable plugged in.(no symbol in status bar.)
Headphones work fine, however playing music through my car does not. What is the fix for this? New cable?

do you have any kind of case on the sgs3? I noticed that some cases don't let you plug in the aux cables all the way and it doesn't get a good connection. make sure your aux cable is plugged in all the way. if that doesn't work try another cable to see if that's the issue.

Yea, I had this same problem. My case was preventing the cable from making a good connection. Took case off and works but now I hear music thru the left speaker. Anyone having this problem??? I tried a different AUX cable and I still have the problem. I wonder if there's a phone setting I need to change? Anyone please???
p.s. CD's and radio audio is thru both speakers but not phone.

I have a case but the aux cable I use is thin and goes all the way in. I am starting to think that the sgs 3 only likes the triple stripe plugs.(the ones on headphones that include a Mic on the wire). I'm going to look for a 6 foot male/male triple stripe 3.5 mm cable at fry's.

Get Bluetooth my friend go wireless and you won't regret it, the hs3000 headset from Samsung is a great buy. In reference to you issue try another cable usually its the cable I have some cheap cables and a nice monster studio quality cord all work fine.

I have no problems with my regular 3.5mm headphone jack in my stereo, but I do agree that it is kind of touchy, especially with my case on. For a work around, I put my music on my SD card, and plug the usb into my phone, mount it as UMS with SGS3 EASY UMS, and Voila! Music on my stereo and control of the music through my car stereo vs the phone.

I got a new cable and having the same problems. Headphones still have no issue but I tested my phone connected to my ihome via audio cable and I'm having a funny issue where between songs if I press next, the speaker sounds like there's nothing plugged in. (Audio feedback) but then it stops when the new song plays.
Also... in my car I was able to play music if I plug the cable into my car and press play simultaneously. The 'headphones connected' notification comes up for about 1.5 seconds. If I press play while that notification is there, I can play one song. But then after one song finishes, the same problem happens.
Edit: I cannot produce the headphones connected notification by plugging the cable into my phone, only if the cable is already in my phone and I plug it into my car
I'm beginning to think that my headphone jack is not grounded properly so imma exchange the phone for another one if I test this issue with my friends gs3 and do not have the same problem

My friends sgs3 had some weird background noise in my car but it was working for the most part... it still wasn't perfect which makes me rather unhappy with the phone. Tomorrow I'm going to test my phone on my friends car radio to continue troubleshooting. Maybe I need to replace the audio jack in my bmw x3
