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!!

Micro USB to iPod 30pin connector

Who all would possibly be interested in something like this?
I'll be looking into making one, and I'm posting this here so that others could give it a try as well.
I, as possibly many who've gotten off the iOS bandwagon probably have some Apple-related audio accessories which rely on the infamous dock connector.
Because of Sammy's lovely implementation of 'docking' modes, using an adapter of sorts it's possible to both charge the phone and send audio through USB!
Basic idea:
The iPod's dock connector pinout is as follows: 5 and 6 are R/L audio in, 1, 2, and various others are grounded, and pin 23 is +5V.
The orginal Desktop Dock use data +/- as the audio line. But you need to jump pin 4 with a 365K resitor to activate this mode.
PIN:
1 : VCC
2 : D-: AUDIO LINE OUT L/R
3 : D+: AUDIO LINE OUT R/L
4 : SENSE ( CONNECT WITH SMALL 365K TO GND )
5 : GND

That snippet was gotten from: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249775
Connect the corresponding wires, and it should in theory, allow us to use one connector to output audio to any of the docks. Obviously there's no way to control media playback via the dock itself, but I figure this beats using the line-in that some docks do have.
I'll be looking into whipping up an adapter for such a thing, and felt like sharing the idea to those who might be able to do so before I can or would like to try themselves etc.
However, has anyone else considered something like this? I'm speaking specifically about taking advantage of the GS2's docking mode, as a similar adapter was made with an audio input cord. Comments or thoughts?
I didn't feel this was something to be posted in either Q&A or Accessories, however if I was wrong in doing so please by all means mods move it to where it belongs.

Sounds like a good idea. Make a video showing us the results.
Cheers

i guess the first attempt would be to take an iphone-usb cable, microusb cable and the resistor
remove the plastics, wire accordingly, test and in case of success solder
parts of the procedure are the same as they are for makeing a jig

If something like this could be made and made to look "clean" that would be AWESOME!!!

I just made one with jack end, it is working, thanks for the pinout !
Will try to report about SQ later.

uh, in a electronic components shop?
Honestly, find yourself a local shop with electronics, and buy any resistor between 355k and 375k, it should work just fine. The smaller the better, 0,125W will do just fine.

Ah i thought it had to be exactly 365 . and only have a very small crappy electronics store were I live.
Will this do

TBH, I'd go to the crappy small store. Do you really need 100/1000 of those resistors?
The ones from eBay are 0,25W. Those could be to big to fit in the plug. If you're positive you don't want to find a local seller, try these, but those are 1000pcs :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-6-Watt-360K-ohm-5-Through-Hole-Carbon-Film-Resistors-/200655439530
Another thing to consider. Look at the delivery times on eBay.

I did it with a 0.25W resistor (from the ebay 100 pack), it fit the plug.

If Your Car Has Iphone/iPod Interface or Your Home Stereo Does...You NEED This!

www.Cablejive.com Has some great audio accessories, but the ones I've listed below are absolutely needed if your car is setup for iDevices and you have ANDROID.
The first converts your iPod/Iphone interface to a standard 3.5mm Audio Headphone Jack and allows for listening to your phone through an existing iPhone/iPod interface in your car or Home. ($22.96)

The second is the same thing, only it also adds a Micro USB charging solution built into the same cable. ($29.95)

Please Hit Thanks if this helps you out!

That would be handy. We have a home unit I could use this with.
Thanks!

Use code HOLIDAY15 for 15% off. Takes the total down around $5.
Yeah I originally bought the audio only version but Just ordered the combo so I'd have one less thing to take up my cigarette lighter adapters. Gonna gift the old cable as it still looks and works like brand new. P.S. they are pretty fast shipping wise as well.

I want to get this for my Volvo but not sure if it will work. My Volvo Ipod adapter plays the playlists on the ipod, and I'm able to play slacker. ANyone think this will work with a Volvo ipod kit?

They only list the VW and Audi as not Compatible. I think you'll be fine. Either way if it doesn't work it won't be hard to return or resell.

Neat, I will definitely think about getting this
Here's hoping you're not a spammer! (Kind of a suspicious post honestly)

argh they are sold out

Serves me right to be called a spammer lol. I switched to iPhone with the iPhone 4 and just came back to android for the Galaxy 2. Since I switched everything for iPhone I had to find a way to get my new Galaxy II hooked to all my docks and car kits I spent hundreds on. Buy or do not buy, but I have been hanging around here since 2007 and thought it was about time I contribute.

I've been using a female dock adapter I picked up from Deal Extreme, but it picks up electric interference when I use it in the car. Anybody else experience this?

I haven't had any of that out of the audio only adapter I have. (the one on top) The charging and audio adapter arrives tomorrow hopefully, so I'll let you know after I've had a chance to test.

Yes... thanks. I need one of these.

Well it ended up being at home waiting for me yesterday. I can report that with power and audio I have no feedback or noise in the background. Just clear music. I think those other systems just aren't grounded as well. Hope this helps your decision.

Cut lapdock HDMI internal cable

HI
I got a Motorola Lapdock for use with my raspberry pi B+2 the new 1gb quad core version. from CEX not knowing that it has the problem
someone has opened it up and cut the hdmi cable. its too small for me to re-solder it so does anyone know of where I can get a replacement from.
has the following information on it
PAD00 Micro HDMI+USB CABLE
DC30100E100 REV:1.0

Hi
I have all the external cables I need for the job.
It's the internal Hdmi and micro usb cable that connects to the main board and then has the cable to the two micro plugs you find at the back of the Atrix lapdock.
Thanks

Any success?
Hi fantomv50
Did you manage to find a source?
I need a couple myself.

Sorry for reviving old threads .. I'm in a similar jar .. I've broke mine ! Having the cable on/off .. moving it all over the place .. acted live a "lever" and it seems it broke !
Attaced pics !

Nothing?

I know... Old thread... But just throwing this in here as a reference!
I converted my lapdock to contain both an hdmi and micro usb port.
This is reallllllly time consuming as you are dealing with small wires- not to mention 20 of them. Look up a pinouts for both a micro-hdmi male, and full-hdmi female. Match them up. Draw it out. (I made the mistake of reversing the wires. Male-to-Female wiring can be confusing)
Pictures of the product show its a bit ugly... but it all works. As a display and with the keyboard/trackpad combo. I have more pictures of the final product.. but I'd have to look for them.

@llenp, very handy skill.
do you have Rpi2 problem with keyboard, my case is keyboard press delay but touchpad is good.

Thanks for the compliment!
None that I have noticed with the keyboard. If anything, there were times where the trackpad would stop working.

Could you just make a picture of the wiring ?

its good to hear someone still using the old atrix, i still got mine though but i have broken micro hdmi port on the phone part. my lapdock is still good i guess theres nothing j could try on, rpi still cost a huge amount in our country, cable conversions were also hard to find (micro hdmi female to hdmi)

I have the lapdock and the audio dock. I want to connect my sony xperia z1 with the screen broken in it and use. I opened the back and left the cables out of the lapdock. I also opened the desk dock and left the exposed cables to make it easier to connect the Z1. When I plugged the Z1 into the desk dock it charged the normal beter, but the OTG function did not work. Well I would connect the HDMI to the USB input of the desktop dock to pass the Z1 pro lapdock image. Does anyone know why USB port did not work as OTG?

I know this is an old thread, but I busted my usb connection, can you please help me with the pinout???

And as usual... I'm a little bit late to the party. The pdf isn't there anymore .. I'm wondering if anyone else can share it ?
Also, I'm curious where all the broken screen or broken mobo lapdocks go.. I still can't find any on ebay !

Hello, is it possible to get audio out from USB?
Also is there any cable which can charge and have audio output? Thanks!

why Need that when you have an AUX port on the 10?

When i dock my phone in my car, i want to plug only one wire to it. Also do not want to have 2 wires coming out from my dashboard.

Audio through usb c should work if the Audio device supports the htc 10. i've seen some cables like this, but they won't work on the 10 because only few devices work with the 10 over usb. so it Looks like you have to have 2 wires there

Do you know which ones work with hTc 10?

nope sorry, but there should be DAC which work with htc 10. the jbl from htc Homepage work with the 10, but appearently nearly one of the few usb-c Headsets, so no real choice

I have tried this cable
and got this screen
i have found out something about driver for an HTC adapter, but i cannot get it working on my 10

This app is only for bolt/U Ultra and u11 because they have no headphone jack and therefore it is only for those device to patch the Firmware on the usb-c to 3.5mm Adapter. this cable you have has no Firmware. that's why it won't work

So there is no way to get it working?

nope only if HTC adds support. also depends on the USB port how the wires and connections are set

A workaround would be to hook up a bluetooth receiver to your car's aux input. Then, you will only need to hook up power to your phone as it will automatically connect wirelessly for audio.

my car radio have built in BT, but there is significant difference between a wire and BT audio qualitty. Am using BT just for calls
Was hoping that i can get AUX and QC in one USB type C cable. Little diasappointed about it

for when the Aux port fails, like mine did

About that...
My audio jack also stopped working. So I pursued the USB C option. However, this did not work well.
I tried the zinsoko and official htc bolt adapter. The zinsoko worked for audio but not the microphone. The htc one did not work at all.
I ended up calling HTC and they said that it was covered under the regular warranty. So I sent it in and they fixed it.
Now I just need to make time to install a new ROM on my phone.
If I were you I wouldn't pursue it...just get it repaired.
