Car dock

I just ordered an oem car dock for my gf's Droid x and forgot to research if she will still be able to use the 3.5mm jack to stream Pandora to her car's stereo. I can't seem to find out on Google anyone know for sure?

Yes, it's what I do and it works fine.

You can use Bluetooth, USB (which then also streams song info), or 3.5mm.

If its the official motorola dock then yes it should be fine. Mine even came with the cable to hook out up
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

yep, includes the cable, and the dock even routes the cable back behind the phone/dock so it's not just hanging around.

I got burned... The Amazon add had a picture of a Droid X oem mount, and what I got was a droid 1 A855 oem mount. Brand new none the less, but still not for her phone. I see that there piece that the phone attaches to the mount is a plate that slides into two t channels, is there anyway to order just the Droid X piece? Or will i have to get another mount? I'm gonna go to a Corporate Store next time, Amazon has burned me for the last time. I can't seem to find my conformation email, but i went to overstock's site and it seems as though they don't really do returns anyways.

Belkin Aircast Bluetooth Kit
If you don't have a bluetooth enabled car stereo this bluetooth kit may be useful for you. The kit comes with a 3.5mm connector you plug into your car stereo's auxilliary port and then pair with your Droid X and play mp3s or Pandora on the phone and hear it through your car's speakers. It also doubles as a hands-free phone kit so you can make calls and hear the other person on the car's speakers and the kit comes with a microphone that isolates your voice pretty well.
This kit made the car dock for my Droid X WAY more useful.

Car dock with case?
I got the Platinum case from bestbuy which I like so far, but the issue is that I can't find a car dock that fits the phone without taking the cover off.
Does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks,

when/if you get the car mount be careful of phone temps. if she has gps running, music, and god knows whatever else and it's under the sun the phone will get very hot very fast... which can cause serious issues.

That is what I use mine for also, probably one of my favorite accessories.

i think it would be better you to visit amazon.com.It's a nice site and you can decide better.

Love the official car dock, need help extending mount length

So I have the official car dock:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-K1D9BEGSTA
And love the functionality of not having to plug in power or audio out all the time.
My only issue is that I want to be able to extend the arm length as it doesn't fit any where great in my car.
Has anyone seen a vent mount or extending arm accessory that is compatible with the official holster?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. I'm sure I could get creative with a solution but didn't want to reinvent the wheel if there is something out there already.

Nice! Is that mount horizontal only, or can it rotate to hold the phone upright too?

It can fully rotate 360 degrees and pivot in any direction. The holster is attached to the arm via a ball and socket connection so you have virtually unlimited options of angle etc... and then you just turn a knob to 'lock in' the position you like. I definitely worship the dock, just need a longer arm : (

OK one other question....if you have a case on your phone, do you have to take it off to use the dock? It looks like you would.
I searched around to try and find a longer arm, and no luck

You definitely can't use a case.
The fit is meant to be 'perfect' so it's easy to lock in your phone with the microusb plug so power and audio work.
I love it!!! but no case would work.

Unless you can find a way to mount the flat circle to a longer arm and suction to that there isn't a viable arm extension. I have looked also. My maxima gives a long reach to the dock to where I like the mount to sit.

I bought the infuse dock but instead of using the arm that came with it I bought a proclip center console mount for my car. Looks nice and works great although it was expensive. Attached the infuse dock to proclip car mount and a proclip swivel mount.

I have the Infuse mount which I'm guessing has the same design as yours. Anyway, I found that the vent clip mount that I've been using for my Galaxy Tab mates perfectly to the Infuse mount. I can't be positive but this looks like the same vent mechanism.
Looks like I'm not allowed to post links so search for "Black Car Air Vent Holder With Clip For Nokia " on ebay and you should find it for $3.34.

Sorry to be off topic, but does the car dock have a cut out for the camera lens? I'm not sure from the pic.

Awesome thanks! Might have to pick this up then!

so, i have a meta question about this dock. it looks pretty cool, and it *might* work to put it vertically in the space in the center console of my '98 honda accord, hopefully putting it right at my fingertips. that part's a crap shoot however. what i don't understand though is the audio out jack. how the heck does that work?? the audio jack on the phone is at the top, but the audio jack on the dock is on the bottom next to the usb plug. i just don't get how they route the audio out there. this might be a stupid question.

The phone only needs to be plugged into the microusb port on the dock for both power and audio to be piped through. The actual headset jack on the phone is not used. So phone goes into dock (just microusb port) then the audio out on the dock will work.

The desk dock works the same way. Only USB plugs into the phone, but the audio jack on the back of the dock does route the sound to external speakers.

This dock and mount is way better than that one. Plus ball locking might fit yours.

Wow.. I'm glad you posted.. I just started to search to see if audio via the usb was possible and wasn't finding anything. Couple of questions..is there a usb/line out volume adjustment or is it fixed? Also.. I already have a micro usb hard wired in my car.. is it a micro usb on the end of the cigarette lighter adapter? Also are these available at any local stores.. just hoping I could pick one up instead of ordering.. I checked the local Sprint store and they just have the universal mount kits. thanks for any info!

the dock that's specifically for the E4G includes a cig lighter power adapter, but the infuse version does not. i have power going to the infuse from cig lighter, then a standard audio cable going from the back of the dock to my car radio. works well. the volume level adjustment has to be done in software. i'm currently evaluating CarHome Ultra, which has configurations so that when you put the phone in the dock, it sets media volume to whatever you desire, then when you remove the phone from the dock, it reverts back to what it was.

one thing that kind of baffles me with the dock - when my phones in the dock, if i try to speak commands to it, it seems it can't hear me. the phone's microphone is covered by the adapter block you slide in to lock the phone and make usb connection. i have the infuse dock, but it looks identical to the E4G-specific dock.
does anyone else have trouble speaking commands when docked? it's frustrating, it makes it much less of a hands-free experience than what i was hoping for!

I ended up modding mine to fit the ProClip car mount I already had. Pics are in the original deal thread if you are interested.

Seems like most people use some form of case (thicker than the zagg)
Does anyone know of a dock like this samsung dock but able to fit a phone with a case? Alternatives (docks that work with a case) dont seem to connect automatically to the micro usb. Just wondering if anyone knows of something that will do both? Shouldn't this exist? am I way off?

Galaxy Nexus to iPod accesories

I have no clue what section this question would belong in. Mods, feel free to move this if there is a better place for it.
I haven't used my iPod since getting my first android, three androids ago. I do however have an iPod dock connected to my AV receiver at home, and a dock connector wired into my car. Has anyone figured out a way to use iPod accessories with their android? Ideally I wish I had the programming knowledge to emulate the iPod and have all the controls functional but that is way beyond what I'm capable of. I was thinking of getting a female dock connector and connecting a micro usb and 3.5mm audio jack so I could both charge and output audio through it. Also, what comes out of the MHL/USB on the Galaxy? Could I get analog audio from it so I would just have one usb cable to connect to charge and listen? Thoughts?

Come on... no one?

It -may- charge w/ the dock to micro usb adapter. That's pretty much it.
You won't get audio out of it, nor data more than likely (even power is up-in-the-air) simply because the system doesn't have the software to work with the connections made available w/ that adapter.
Edit: Also, you probably should've posted this in Q&A.

It would be pretty difficult to do something like that and would probably require building a device that would sit between the iPod dock and the Android phone.
It might be possible to do something like this. As long as your dock uses analog audio instead of usb audio like my car radio uses.
goo . gl / oeCYW Remove the spaces. I'm a new member and can't post links yet.

So you are saying you think it's looking to see if an ipod is connected before it looks for the audio coming out of it? I was under the assumption it was always ready for it since I need to first manually switch to the ipod input on the stereo... hmmm...

Nice. That's exactly what I was thinking of doing.

Well that link was encouraging enough that at least someone has gotten this to work. I went ahead and ordered a female dock connector from here http://aloaudio.com/30-female-dock-connector-with-wire-board.html. At worst I'm out $14.35. I'll update the thread with what I find out.

The dock connector arrived today. I haven't messed around with the one in my car but I did test the one on my AV receiver. Things I've learned:
1) If the receiver is on, there is a steady 4.9 volts available to charge my Galaxy.
2) There is some sort of check to see if an ipod is connected before it will switch to listen for audio on the input pins. I can actually hear a click of a relay when I connect my ipod that I do not hear with the wire connected.
3) I placed the ipod in the dock to get it to switch. I then I wired a headphone cable to the audio in pins of the dock. To my surprise I could play music from my Galaxy just fine.
If I could just figure out what it is looking for to know whether or not an ipod is connected, this should work just fine.

I just want to update this thread. I finally got around to messing with this again (yes 4 months later).
I have it working perfectly for audio in my car! As long as pins 1 & 2 are shorted it switches the head unit into iPod mode and audio gets sent to the speakers. Pins 2, 3, 4 are Ground, Right, and Left audio. I would record a video of it working but the only thing I have is my GN and I can't use it to play music and record video.
I gave up on my home theater receiver. There's power there to charge it but I can't figure out how to fool it to listen for the audio.

Y not just buy the ipod to universal Bluetooth adapter? That way the phone doesn't even have to be docked? Sprint sells it

I've been using this to play music through my old ipod fm transmitter, works great.

[Q]iPAQ bluetooth keyboard working with Galaxy Nexus?
Hi everybody:
I had a iPAQ BT foldable keyboard (SPP, no HID), and I wish it works on my Galaxy Nexus for daily use (when playing games, or typing with Chinese input methods).
I've tried some apps, and keyPro Demo works, but it gave me a new IME which only support English input. I wondered if anybody here give me some help. Thanks all!!

hey guys, I know this thread is a little outdated but there is another option to get audio and charging from the 30-pin apple connection. I personally haven't tried this but it looks like it could work:

I own an Audi Q5 and it can stream music from either iPod, USB or 3.5'' mm jack using a Media Link Cable. It sounds nice, but your device has be locked in the glove box!! So i decided to get this device from amazon - "http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087XSV08/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01". It streams music to your receiver via Bluetooth. I love this solution because i almost always use Google Map for my GPS navigation.
It works great because i have a Bose Sounddock with an iPod jack too.

I'm a little late to this party but I too am looking for a solution to convert my Klipsch iFi into a Bluetooth dock so we can use our Evo LTE's on it. I have a 1st gen iPod Nano on it but 2gb of music (the 4gb one we had died) just isn't getting it done. I also want the ability to run internet radio stations and playlists and what not. I bought about the cheapest iPod Bluetooth adapter available on eBay and was disappointed that it did not work. The LED on top wouldn't even light up to indicate it was getting power. They seller sent me another one and unfortunately it also does not work. The seller assured me that he tests every single one that is sent (uh huh, I believe you) so it would appear as though this particular adapter will not work. As soon as I can get a refund I will start going up the list as far as price goes. Just wonder if you were ever able to find a solution for your iFi to save me the effort of order several different adapters until I find one that works. I don't see why this one didn't work as the iFi should work just like every other iPod dock on the market as far as how it interfaces with the iPod/adapter.

This adapter you linked to looks exactly like the adapter I got from eBay but I only paid $15.99 w/free shipping. If anyone else is interested in trying out one of these types of adapters I would check eBay first. While mine didn't work for my iFi specifically the seller has good feedback so I would imagine it works for most. My issue is probably Klipsch iFi specific. I plan to order a different version from another seller for a few bucks more and can report back my findings if it works or not as another option but I wouldn't spend $40 for what looks exactly like what I paid $16 shipped for.

[Q] Speaker Dock?

Any recommendations for a good speaker dock? Looking for something I can use to stream Google music or Sirius XM from my phone through while outdoors/traveling.
I haven't really seen anything that I can actually set/dock the E4GT in with a speaker but I have a 3.5 mm adapter I can use to plug in with. Curious as to what you guys are using. Thanks!

Got cash? They have BT and 3.5mm audio in. I'm not sure if they support audio over the micro-usb connection. Seems rather overpriced IMO.
I personally use a cheap mini-speaker with 3.5mm in, similar to the Scosche Boomcan. Fits in my computer bag and under $20. I have yet to find a compact universal speaker dock, with an adjustible/universal micro-usb port. Please post if you discover one.
Edit: This one is interesting, but no bluetooth for $99? No thanks.

I use this. I sale these as well. Me, my gf, and several friends I've sold them to love them! why worry about a dock when you can use Bluetooth

Thanks for the responses guys.. I am really digging that Philips speaker dock, esp if they have it at my local Best Buy but @ 135 dang!

I use a jawbone jambox and love it

No audio output from Infuse 4G car dock

So I just got my Verizon SG3 and I have the Infuse 4G car dock which everyone says is working wonderfully (It fits perfectly!). I have two problems however, and was wondering if anyone could help me troubleshoot.
1. The stereo output does not work. I have the phone on the dock in my car and when I plug an audio cable in the output on the dock it does not work, when I plug the cable into the stereo jack on the phone it does work.
2. Only a car outlet adpter to USB jack will work to charge it. If I plug in my dedicated car charger (not coming from a USB port), it will not charge the phone.
Any help with these two small issues would be awesome, thanks so much!

You have to go into settings-»dock to change the audio output.

Also, it is a very tight fit. Make sure it is all the way plugged in to the dock. I would recommend using the headphone jack on the phone however. I find the dock audio output to be somewhat noisy when using the audio out on the dock. Ymmv.

What do you mean noisy? Like cause the power input is right there? Is there a buzzing?

Yes, buzzing. I had the samsung droid charge dock and it was the same way with that phone. Maybe its a samsung thing.

Changing the audio out option in dock settings should have fixed your issue with the sound. No clue why your dedicated charger isn't working other than maybe not enough amps......just a guess there.
As for the noise/buzzing issue.......could be a grounding issue with your car or the cables aren't pushed in all the way. I used this dock for a good week and it sounded perfectly fine. The only thing I changed was the EQ settings in whatever app I was using. I'm using poweramp now with the EQ turned off and it sounds great.....no noise or buzzing. My JVC deck does all the EQ fine tuning it needs.
I ended up disassembling the Infuse dock and pulling the PC board out. This has allowed me to keep my case on my phone. I am using the exomount holder and just ran a microUSB extension from the PC board to the phone. So far, everything works great. In fact, just ordered all the same parts again last night to do the same setup for my Dad.

I do need to add that today I did notice some background noise at the end of a sound when it was fading out.....that was the first time I ever noticed anything. During regular listening, I don't hear anything. This may be solved by adding a ground loop isolator.
Anyway, here are the pics. The first couple are of the pc board from the infuse dock. The others are of the mount and cabling. The last is what the Google Car Home screen looks like.I moved things around and put the camera, messaging, and poweramp apps on the home screen.

By the way, the case I have on there right now is the Diztronic Matte Black TPU case. Waiting on the Otterbox Defender.
The wires you see on the second to last pic are tucked under the dash....I pulled them out to show how they were connected. The PC board from the Infuse dock is wrapped in electrical tape to keep it from coming in contact with anything.
That exogear mount was put in place a week ago and it shows no sign of coming loose so far.....really am impressed with it.

Is your phone rooted, because I can't install the Google Car Home. I miss that app since I had the G2 before the GS3.
This might be a dumb question and i don't know if someone else knows the answer. Can I root my phone and still keep the stock ROM (The one it ships with)???

I am not rooted. Though the play store shows it is not compatible and won't let me install it, I was able to do a Google search and find a copy of it. It doesn't show up under apps after it is installed. But, once you plug in the dock, it will give you the option to use it.
I don't know if it is proper to put links to files such as this (even though the app is free), but do a Google search for "download google car home apk" and the second choice (droid-life) is where I got it (alt-link).

Got it, Thanks!

Is there a benefit to having it plugged in and being in dock mode as opposed to using card dock ultra(ithink that is the name) ap to just make it go into dock mode? I got the infuse dock, but didn't realize I couldn't use a case with it. I'm new to all this stuff.
Is there a special cable I have to buy to do what you did?
My husband seems leery about doing any of this stuff, but our navigation head unit just went out in our car, and I want to use google nav in the car safely.

I replied in the other forum. As for the cable.....if you do what I did and want the phone to switch into car mode, then you would need a microUSB extension cable that uses all five wires.
I wasn't sure if you are wanting to output audio to a deck or if you just want to be able to charge and have the audio come from the phone.

I was wanting the audio to come out of my car speakers.. using the aux option in my car. Hope that makes sense.
The app I have is car home ultra. Right now I'm having to plug 2 cables in so I get why you did what you did. One cable would be alot easier. I definitely need to get rid of the infuse dock or do what you did and use a different dock though because I hate pulling the case off. I'm just trying to decide if I should send the dock back altogether or do what you did. My husband said he'll do it if I know exactly which cable to get.
Thank you for your reply.

I was wanting the audio to come out of my car speakers.. using the aux option in my car. Hope that makes sense.

This is where I got the cable from. It uses all five wires which is what is needed to trip car mode. They have many choices. I am using the right angled one. I have used both the 24in and the 6ft one, both have worked fine.
I just got my Otterbox Defender yesterday and it fits fine in my mount. I must say that this exomount has thoroughly impressed me with how well it holds.

No, I had no seen it.
Thank you.
I really think I'm going to get the Trident Kraken AMS that you can buy the car moutn that it fits. Mostly because I want a super strong case because I am clumsy.. and the otterbox doesn't come in pink. :crying:
