Just thought I would share this (probable everyone knows this anyway)
I had my phone on the a car holder in my van, in the glove box I had one of the cassette adapter you know the ones it is a tape with a wire from it,
you could also use the aux wire
Any way plugged it in to the phone and started listening to my music from the mp3
All of a sudden the music volume went down the ring tone came threw the van radio,
I left it plugged in and answered it all the sound coming threw the van radio and the person i was talking to could here me fine
the perfect free hands free phone kit ..
Cool. Have to try it with my built in AUX (3.5 mm Jack)
Lol, never thought about it, ... i do use AUX for music, .. but connect my device to the car's bluetooth for calls, .. when a call comes i disconnect the AUX and the call would go through the bluetooth car handset ... will give it a try with the AUX, not sure about the call quality though, .. cuz the mice of the car's bluetooth is near the steering, .. which is close to me, .. but guess i will have to hold the phone near to my mouth if i used the AUX, ... which kindda ruins the purpose of "handsfree" ..

No you don't my handset is on the dash and the person on the other end can here me fine
I tested it by phoning my house when i was driving home and leaving a message on the answering machine so i could here it.
It worked great
That's really good ! I'd never of thought of doing that.
And there's me thinking you would have all known about it
See you can teach old dogs new tricks...
I was amazed by thiss too when I first noticed it!
very clever!

i apologise that my first post on this incredible site is a question instead of something usefull but here goes.
i have an adapter that allows me to plug an audio jack into my phone to play music on my car radio. when a call comes through i can here the caller through the speakers but have no way of responding. i had a tytn2 that briefly (for reasons unkown) didnt turn off the phone mic alowing me to talk back. anyway to do this deliberatly on the pro2?
sorry if this has been covered did try and search
still cant find an answer. anyone?
can no one help or am i asking wrong
I use the same setup in my car.
I use this accessory http://store.everythinghtc.com/htc-multifunction-audio-adapter/11A75A4401.htm.
I have no problems and the Mic works just fine.
I've had the TytnII before and i have to say the TP2 works much better in noise cancellation.
hi,
I have the same problem than you.. with this adapter http://store.everythinghtc.com/htc-3-in-1-usb-adapter/11A75A3571.htm
I 've seen this adapter in a shop and will get it then http://store.everythinghtc.com/htc-multifunction-audio-adapter/11A75A4401.htm
Also, while using the 1st adapter connected to my car ext aux, the bluetooth earphones works for phone calls but not the microphone..
im not using an earpiece as the other person plays throughthe car speakers. was hoping to just be able to talk and be picked up on the mic on the headset. as i said this worked briefly on a tytn2 but most of the time the phone seems to turn the phone mic off as it thinks its connected to hands free
It works now perfectly for me using this adapter only:
http://store.everythinghtc.com/htc-multifunction-audio-adapter/11A75A4401.htm
Quick question..... Does the phone come packaged with a 3.5mm headphone adapter mic cable? Or could confirm that a third party one works with it?
Something like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-5mm-Headpho...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item3f01284f93
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001C0LBEG/smartphonespda-21
I basically would want this feature so I could then plug the input into my AUX input in the car, have MP3's playing, sat nav and make calls.
Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Does the handsfree plug in the the microUSB?
thanks in advance!
I had the same adapter left over from an old phone and it didnt work with the desire, it would play quietly untill i pressed and held the button then it would come out at normal volume. It didnt answer the phone either. I just plug straight into my car headset with 3.5 to 3.5 jack. I can take calls as ive got a holder in the dash and it comes out throught the car speakers.
Hope this helps.
And what the mic on the handset still picks up the audio clear enough??
I looked at these http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hs-u350-p19269.htm & http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Headphone-Ear...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item41501064d7
Yea it seems to come out alright. Ive asked my friends while speaking through the handset and they say it comes out ok. Youve gotta talk abit louder tho depending on outside noise. With the windows up its seems fine.
Im in the same boat as you, i was thinking the htc adapter was the most likely to work but not sure. Judging by the comments it looks like it will work.
Oh yea usual handsfrees for the desire plug in via the headphone jack.
You get one standard all in one handsfree and no adapter.
It is possible to have all that up and running, mp3's, sat nav and calls.
I do it daily, just get yourself an official car charger cos i got a cheap one and it blew up on me. I had blue sparks flying out while i was driving.

I got one but sadly does not work with my sony head unit in my car, but it did work with my co workers dock in the office
A little more expensive unit would be the blackberry gateway. Works very well, I have it setup in my car but streaming through pandora/slacker doesn't the greatest with it.
bought one too, friggin sony, thinking about trying a new kenwood deck seeing if that works...
I just bought a Clarion VX709. 7" touchscreen with HSF/A2DP profiles. I should be getting it installed some time this week. Can't wait!

I'm getting one of these and I have a Kenwood deck, I'll let ya know how it goes.
Someone mentioned they had theirs working with their Kenwood. They said returned off something like auto connection or something

i bought the cable to plug into the front USB on kenwoods to the apple 30-pin adapter. I'm going to take it and plug it into the demo unit at Best Buy to make sure it works when it arrives, lol . If that fails, I'll be being getting I think it's a belkin flex dock with aux out, and i'll see if that works.
I am using this in my car with an iSimple AUX/Charge cable and it works GREAT!
I bought two a couple of weeks ago - one for my car, the other for the house. Works great.
So you just plug this into the usb spot on your headunit, pair up for you phone to it and then play music? Sounds too good to be true?
No. You need an iPod cable that accepts audio and will charge the device. Then it will work.

Thats what i meant, muh bad.
Only downside to this is that it won't charge the phone
Bought this a couple years ago back when it was only 10 dollars. Works pretty well. Depending on your headunit or dock, the remote controls to pause/skip tracks also work too.
For those who have it, how do calls turn out? Like if you had this hooked up, streaming music through your headunit..and you get a call, whats it do? If it plays the other person through the speakers, how good is the quality? Does the mic just work off of your phone?
It only supports A2DP so no sound comes through for phone calls. This can only be used to stream music, but the speakerphone works pretty well.

Got ya..ill probably invest in this when i get my new truck, so i can have my ipod hooked up at all times and for those other opportunities where i want to stream music from my/someone's phone.
Yay for usb hubs!
A bit of an old topic, but is this working out for everyone? I might be selling my ipod touch and i need to be able to connect my phone to my cd player, so this is the route i might take.

Forgot to report back with results.
It works great and does what it says. very easy to hook up, but i notice a lack of bass... anyone have a solution for this?
I bought one of these a while ago to use with my old pre. Seemed to work well enough, except that most of the time I actually wanted to listen to my iPod instead of my phone, so I never really used it much. Ended up eventually buying a Sony deck that has full built in bluetooth in addition to an iPod connector, so this little doohickey has just sat in a box for months.
Ooh, I just thought of something! If I combine this thing I never use with this other thing I never use - an iPod FM Transmitter/Remote dongle, I could make myself a A2DP Bluetooth FM Transmitter with remote!

This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for. One less cable to attach to my evo
$80 is WAY too much for this. You can accomplish the same thing with a $20 BT3030 adapter, or any headphone adapter.
Here's a tip:
Grab one of these and one of these, and you'll never know the difference.
i just bought one on these and i'm liking it. Maybe it can be done cheaper but I know this works well.

Does the first one allow you to stream bluetooth music to your cd player?

It will let you stream to anything with an audio input.
EDIT: I'll have a full blown write up on this method in a few weeks hopefully. I'm waiting on a bunch of parts to come in and I'm hooking mine and my father's car up.
That doesn't look like it charges and outputs at the same time. The scosche appears to do this.

I just used that as an example as how cheap you can go. Personally, I'm making a cable that does both.
If you want one that charges and plays at the same time out of the box, try this for 20 bucks:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Jabra-BT303...uetooth_Wireless_Products&hash=item4aa3833d38
It's the Jabra BT3030. One end is the audio output (which plugs into your audio input) and the mini USB port is on the other for charging.
Looks awesome but quality of sound is probably ****...
How is bluetooth sound quality now adays. I listen to flac, which is lossless audio, so if it isn't really good - great sound quality wise I will just keep using a 3.5mm cable.
I'm not an audio expert (nor is my ear sensitive enough to pick up subtle differences), but I definitely wouldn't call bluetooth audio ****. I can't tell the difference between the bluetooth connection and wired connection. I've heard accounts saying flac sounds beautiful through bluetooth, but then again audio is something that has always been subjective.
Thanks for your opinion, i appreciate you taking the time to respond
I got a motorocker or something like that yesterday at walmart. It was like 90 bucks regularly on clearance for 60, but i got an extra good deal on it.
When i get my evo back I'll post my opinion on it. I have audiophilistic ears lol. It also fm modulates, so i know frequency is going to limited on the upper end to 16kish. But much over 16k doesn't contain much musical content depending on what you are listening to anyways.
Not that great over FM, glad i didn't pay much for it. I am sure the device you listed would sound very good though as it goes through a regular aux port instead of fm modulation. There didn't appear to be any bluetooth related noise, just fm garbage.
I bought a new Sony desk (BT2800) with Bluetooth built-in, and the quality is near flawless. It seems like I actually have less distortion than when it was physically plugged in. There was a ground short or something when I had it plugged in to charge and to the aux input ( but you only could notice if u turn the volume up with nothing playing). I don't know if that's with all cars or just my older car.
scl23enn4m3, you don't know what you are talking about. I hope people don't follow your ****ty advice.
First of all, that BT thing you linked to on ebay does not charge and stream at the same time. It has been covered in the comments section on dealextreme.
Second, I have yet to find any bluetooth reciever that I can add to my stock stereo system that will auto-pair. Auto pairing is a huge deal. If you have to screw around with the bluetooth settings on your phone every time you turn your car on, you might as well plug in the damn aux cable.
I am excited to check this product out.
so mine came in i couldnt get out of my car lol
i think im going to buy one for my home surround sound so i can stream music from laying in bed from my phone (my best tunes are always on my phone even though i have a 2tb and home server running boxee setup on my tv)
But seriously this motormouth btaxs is amazign (for you cheapskates out there stick to your long wires or jerryrigged stuff and leave this toy for those who want it all done right without soldeign and running wires all over)
Yes it charges while in use (I have mine plugged in all the time now and i have it setup so once i put my evo in my dock it auto ons my bluetooth and connects automatically to it)
call quality is good i just tested in loud car on speakerphone and no reverb and works flawless with one button touch then speak the name u want to call
love the damn thing i cant wait to go to work i use my phone all day while driving around and havign to plug in two wires everytime i get in and out was askign too much
now only need one wire and thats if my battery is dead ill add pics in a bit

Too bad my '07 Porsche 911 doesn't have a Aux/MP3 input jack.
Woo-Hoo!
Ordered mine from Hawk Electronics on Wednesday night - showed up on the front doorstep today (it helps that their warehouse is here in DFW).
This thing is amazing. Sound quality for music over BT far surpasses what I was getting via 3.5mm jack, and there's no 25% sound reduction just because you docked. In combination with my Sprint car dock, this is just exactly what I've been waiting for. Cool thing about car dock mode: it turns on BT, GPS, and 4G when you dock. It paired without issue, and it fires up the second I dock it in the car.
I used the extension thingy for the microphone, because my AUX port is over on the passenger side in my Element.
Road trip tomorrow.
Here'sa pic comes with charging cable too with car adapter

This device looks nice but too bad my aux input is in the glove compartment...
Ok so my gf just got the GSII and she is having a problem. She uses an aux cord in her car to plug in her phone so that it goes through the speakers. When she plugs this phone in and makes a phone call, the person on the other end cannot hear her, but she can hear the other end.
Has anyone seen this before and do you have any fixes????
THANKS!
yeah i have this problem too in my car, but when im in my friend's car its fine

hmm that is not what I wanted to hear lol
That really doesnt make any sense at all, it should be the same as its just an aux port. I had her try it with computer speakers and it was the same.
It could be that you had used a bad designed audio cable. If you look at the original headphone that came with the phone, the plug has 3 parts to it (Ground, Sound, and Mic). So it could be that the no good audio cable is taking in the Mic side as well, therefore the other party is not hearing her.
If you really want this mixed 100% without worrying about the type of cable. I suggest you buy a cable with a mic on it with aux in. I am sure you can find one on monoprice.com/amazon/ebay.
Good Luck
