Hi!
I'm looking for a combined car charger and FM-transmitter which works with the HTC Magic. What I want is one which connects with the device using only one (usb-)cable.
Can anyone help me out, please? I've been looking all over without any success.
All the best,
Fredrik
you can buy plenty of adaptors which connect to extusb
and got miniusb and 3.5mm minijack
and then you can connect the fm transmitter which
normally use 3.5mm minijack to one connector and
a car charger to the miniusb

I narrowed it down to this one:
Miccus-BluBridge-mini-jack-Rx-Bluetooth (on Amazon)
but if you want to see the few other choice for a receiver, google bluetooth receiver
Do the 3 in 1 adaptors like http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=171013 and http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=126&products_id=1502 pass through the FM antenna?
I.e. would they allow me to charge via the USB connection and attach the extUSB headphones or the extUSB to 3.5mm adaptor cable for the FM aerial?
Is there a cable that is purely for aerial use and doesn't disable/route the audio?
Thanks.
Alternatively, is there a similar multi adaptor but on the end of a 90cm or so long cable that already has a long enough run for the FM aerial so no additional connection is required purely for FM reception...?

I've ordered an FM aerial...only if it works shall I give you the ebay link.
Please tell me which radio stations you want to listen to.
I have two adapters for my polaris.
The first one is 3in1 original HTC.
Second one is some cheap pigtail just htcExt to 3.5mm.
FM radio works well with both of them.
only difference is that with 3in1 I can use my headphones (without mic) and built in phone mic for talking.
with pigtail I can't so I have to unplug phones for the other side to be able to hear me.
But that's a whole other story. FM works

Does FM radio work without headphone connected?

With pigtail I only have to plug it in and FM works. of course that little piece of wire is not that good antenna so it's better when headphones are plugged in.
But yes, FM works with just pigtail adapter plugged in, without headphones.
With 3in1 adapter I don't know and it is in my car so I can't check it now.
Hi all,
Would it be possible to connect my TP2 to the aux 3.5mm jack on my car radio to effectively play music off my phone via the radio system?
I suppose once off a mini usb to mail 3.5mm jack cable would be required, but would this output work?
Anyone tried this?
This will work. There are loads of adaptors out there that plug into the miniUSB and give you miniUSB (for charging), headset port and 3.5mm jack. Or various combinations of these.
Just couple one of those with a regular jack-to-jack lead and you're good to go.
Alternatively, pair a bluetooth stereo clip that has a jack connector for your own headphones, then connect that headphone port to the car stereo.
Did it a few time, I can confirm you it works just fine.
I was using one of Brando regular adaptators that plug into the miniUSB.
My wife and I have done this with our kaisers and now the tilt 2's. Our tilt 2's came with the htc adapters in the box from att. If you didnt get one of these, you can get an adapter off ebay pretty cheap.
Use an FM transmitter
I use an FM transmitter (Belkin and others make these) that is powered from the vehicle "cigarette lighter". On one end is the power and on the other end is a 3.5 mm headphone plug, just like a standard pair of headphones uses.
Connect that to the headphone jack on the TP2 (via the adapter if you don't have the CDMA version), and tune your car radio to the selected frequency.
It's a very nice solution for GPS or long speakerphone calls where you don't have to say much or even speak at all. You can have a 2-way call like this, too, of course.

I also use the HTC adapter that was included with the Tilt2. It provides a 3.5mm audio jack, plus you can charge the phone at the same time by plugging a cigarette lighter to mini-USB charger to the HTC adapter.

You're just connecting the FM transmitter to your Tilt2 using a 3.5mm to mini-USB adapter, correct? You shouldn't need to adjust any setting on the phone. If headphones work with your phone, the FM transmitter should also.
You might need to scan around for an FM station that is not used, or even faintly receiving a radio station. Pick one that is just pure white noise.

You responded to a post over a year old, so don't hold your breath that the person you responded to will answer.

headphone work ok , the transmitter work ok in my laptop and other phone .
I've got the car dock, which works great, but I don't have a 3.5mm jack to my car's audio system. Anyone know of a good fm transmitter that works well with the atrix's car dock?
Just get a tape adapter if you can.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
I have the Jabra Cruiser II. It is both BT and FM so it will work as a speakerphone for you as well. On short rides I just use the speaker on the cruiser, for longer I use the fm for my radio.

<Whoops, as a new user, I can't post outside links>
Search amazon for "GoGroove Flexsmart II"
It's $55 as of 3/24/11.
EDIT: you can also search newegg.com
What myself, my girlfriend, and my dad are all using. It's a little more expensive than some options, but it's worth it.
3.5mm in, 3.5mm out, bluetooth, fm transmitter, usb port for charging (not sure about the amps on it), play/pause next previous buttons, fm/volume adjustment knob. Works great. Phone sync within 5 seconds of car power on and bluetooth on.
I want to use my Droid Charge to beam audio through Bluetooth to a car adapter receiver that plugs into my cigarette lighter.. then this same adapter will send the audio via FM or whatever wireless into my car stereo's built in head unit...
is there such a device made?
how does the sound quality sound?
I can't rip out my stock head unit in the car... and I do NOT have an AUX input jack on the stock headunit.. so I want to do this all wirelessly if possible..
Great idea! Never heard of such a device but if one exists I'd buy it, if not someone should make it!
Soldering an AUX input with minijack that you plug to your phone sounds like HELL LOT easier and HELL LOT cheaper than any such device you want.
The best solution for what you want is the Motorola t505.
If not you could install a auxiliary input from these guys.

I bought one for my car for $45 and it works great.
You can also checkout dealextreme for some cheap deals bit it takes a few weeks to get here from china.
I've got a Jabra SP700 that is great for the job.
It recieves audio/calls from the phone over bluetooth and has a built in FM transmitter for the radio.
Sound quality on both ends of the conversation is excellent (even when using it's built in speaker), as is audio streaming.
It just clips to your sun visor but is small enough to slip into the glove box/door tray out of sight, and has the same micro usb charing port that my phone uses so no need for a second charger in the car, and battery life is great.
It automatically turns the FM transmitter off if it recieves no audio for 10 minutes, and turns itself off completely if not connected via bluetooth for 10 minutes.
Changing FM frequency to find a clear spot is dead easy, as is pairing/answering a call.
It reads out the phone number when someone calls you.
I think this may be what you are looking for. Its called a venturi mini. I though about bying one last year but bought a headunit with bluetooth instead.
