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!

[Q] Radio Dock?

Is there any iHome, iPhone style radio dock for the Captivate? Something you could say dock and then play Pandora through the docks speakers?

I use my Logitech Pure-Fi 2 sound dock from when I had my iPhones. They have a 3.5mm jack in the back so you can connect your captivate with a 3.5mm -- 3.5mm cable.

I use a bluetooth piece from Creative Labs

I haven't found anything like that. The closest thing is something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0PK95M6DQN8QKCRXG0HY
I have one and it does have a 3.5mm head phone jack on the back of it which you can connect to speakers. The problem that it only works if you are playing stored audio from your phone. If you play Pandora it will not work. I don't really understand it. I stopped using it because I would have to take off my Outterbox Commuter case any time I wanted to dock it... so it became pretty useless.

You got that to work? I thought the 3.5mm jack only worked with Froyo, and people who have Froyo custom ROM's haven't been able to get it to work . . . sucks about Pandora, for sure, but I'd be interested to know how you got the dock to work at all.

I take that back... it doesn't work. Sorry for the misleading info.

I have the one from Samsung and it does work...nicely by the way. I thought it would be difficult plugging it in because the jack is so small but I do not have a problem with it... doesn't make much sense to think that a dock made by Samsung for a phone that ships with Eclair wouldnt work, with Eclair. Pandora and everything works completely fine. Even pulls up my Better Alarm Clock app, which is kinda like the Desk Home app, when it is plugged in. Definitely not as nice as the Ipod Docks with radio and CD player and all that but the phone is loads better than an Iphone so I look past its shortcomings.

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

[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.

Looking for a Bluetooth car audio receiver

Hi all,
I'm looking for a Bluetooth car audio receiver that is specifically compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S3. The reason I say this is that I have tried several receivers that my friends own and while I can pair and play music with them, if I turn bluetooth on and off, I then have to go into the Bluetooth settings and manually connect to them again.
This is very cumbersome. I am looking for a receiver that I can pair once, leave in the car and forget about. My aim is to use tasker and an NFC tag so that whenever I get in my car, I scan the tag, the bluetooth turns on, automatically connects to the receiver and music starts playing.
Hence, does anyone know of such a receiver. Specifically, I do NOT want to have to turn it on/off. I want to put it in my glovebox and NEVER touch it again after the initial setup.

That is a deck. Not a receiver.
My car deck is already really nice and has an AUX. I'm not looking to change that. I'm looking for something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Britelink-Blu...781329&sr=8-9&keywords=bluetooth+car+receiver

I first bought a Soundfly that has a built in fm transmitter but the gain was way too low, so I returned it. Then I bought this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CLYJ2I/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 and it works perfectly since I have an aux input and cig lighter power adapter hidden in my center arm rest. That's what I recommend, bit pricey, but worth it for me.

My AUX line in on my car is hidden in the center console along side a built in USB charger, and not really wanting to string a cable across to my mounted phone, this is what I've been considering. It's $70 though so I'm sure there are a few cheaper alternatives like what you linked to.

Forget the HTC stereo clip. I would go with the Samsung HS3000. There is a thread about it in the HTC evo 4g lte accessories thread. I have two and it's great. You can get them with some decent samsung earbuds for like $30.

I'd try the HTC one. It does support Apt-X that the GS3 also supports if you care about sound quality.

Perfect. I read about the samsung hs3000 and they seem to be exactly what i want. Ordering one tonight.
Thank you for the input everyone!

Agreed.

APT-X is supported only on the HTC One X and Samsung SIII so far, AFAIK.
It gives you HD quality sound via bluetooth. MUCH better sounding than A2DP bluetooth from what I've read.
I'm waiting for MFG's to start making car stereo's with the technology.
Currently there aren't any decks that have it.
Hmm, sounds like it may not be the solution you want though. A poster in this thread says he has to turn on/off every time he gets in the car.
Actually it sounds like this device has more than one "issue".

If you're gonna get the HS3000, there is a version of it that supports Apt-X as well, BHS3000. Sometimes it's just listed as HS3000 though so it's kinda confusing.

I think it is not the solution for your problem...for example in the car how you supply it?
Hs3000 stay always on? if yes when battery is discharged you have to remove it and charge it?
In user manual I read that you cannot use it during recharge.
Like you I would a Bluetooth car audio receiver that I plug in and forget, without recharge each time...anyone can help me?

You can plug a headphone jack into it, use a RCA->headphone cable. Then you just need to power it using a USB cable. I added an extra cig socket behind my dash wired into the original cig adapters power leads. Got a USB charger adapter and plugged it in. Starts when the car starts, off when the car is off.

I know this thread is old, but I had the same dilemma. I needed something small, auto-connect on car start, could be charging and listening at the same time.

It's perfect.

I looked over this thread and am shocked nobody has posted this solution. It is so freakin cheap compared to the competition and works just fine. Most bluetooth receivers I see costs $50 and up....this one costs $14-$18 and comes with all the accessories needed. I have 2 of them (one for my car and one for home). The one for my car I've had for a year already with no issue. The charge on it lasts about 4-6 hours before needing recharge. Honestly, take a look at this guys

Thinking of connecting this to my home receiver through RCA aux. Can this be continuously plugged in to a power source and still transmit the music or is it a situtation where you have to charge then unplug then connect to stereo? Hope that make sense. :silly:

Bit shocked some things like the Belkin bluetooth handsfree kit has not come up.
Belkin on Amazon
I picked up one of these, and it works better than anything I have used so far. I normally HATE Belkin for sub standard crap, but this thing has lasted longer than anything. I also picked up for 15 about to be sure I got good audio a ground fault isolator. I highly recommend you get one if the device that connects to the aux port also connects to the car for power. So unless it is battery powered I would get one.

For that price, you could have purchased a high def APT-X Bluetooth receiver.

I picked up a cheap one from amazon and the Audio was sub par at best... Fine for ESPN Radio but when I played music it clipped pretty bad... It was a Go groove or something like that

FM Transmitter Question

Okay, I have an older car (2001 Dodge Stratus)
The stereo is not stock but it is still old and does not have a USB or 3.5mm connection. I used to use my ipod for music so I bought a --static.bhphoto.com/images/images345x345/424579.jpg--- for my car. (It plugs into the cigarette lighter and connects usb to ipod connection).
If I take the connector out I can run USB to Micro USB for my Galaxy s3 and it will charge. However if I go onto google music the sound will not come through my car speakers.
Can my device do this? Do I need a new device, that goes into my cigarette lighter? Do I just need a new stereo? I thought I would be able to still use the same FM transmitter via usb but it seems to not work. Are there 3.5mm cigarette lighter FM transmitters I could use instead? Any help would be awesome. Thanks so much ahead of time.

I just bought this:
Go groove flex smart x2 (not allowed to post links yet)
Play to your radio over your phone's Bluetooth. I've only had it for two days, but it's working really well. I've called over it, and the other end didn't realize it was over speaker, so it's nice and clear. You can charge your phone too out of the device, but it's a lot easier to just jump into your car and it sync on its own and just start playing music.

I guess I didn't explain clear enough, I'm sorry.
This device receives the Bluetooth from your phone, then transmits over your car's radio.

It's seems like a high price, but for all of the features it's a pretty decent deal. I bought it from newegg. They have/had a promotion for ten dollars off.

That seems like a really promising device, but it kinda pricey, at least for me.
Anybody have any alternatives?
(I'm in the same situation as the OP)

If you don't mind having to plug in some cables, there are plenty of FM transmitters out there that use a regular 3.5mm connection (to connect the transmitter to your phone) for Audio.
Some of them run on batteries, others you have to plug into your cigarette lighter. Some of those offer a micro USB cable or a USB port to charge your phone with, others don't.
Just look around on amazon or ebay. My experience with those transmitters wasn't good but it's been a while. Maybe newer devices work better.
Definitely get one where you can choose from a wide range of channels not one of those where you only have like 3 channels. Because depending on where you live there might be many radiostations that can overlay the signal of your transmitter. You have to find a channel that isn't used in the area where you usually drive around in.
