I have official froyo 2.2 running the Samsung Vibrant 2 app. I just recieved the OEM windsheild car dock and I cannot get the audio to work thru the dock. From what I have read, some have gotten it to work successfully. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

On the Captivate side of the fence, the car home app has a button to mute the phones speaker and use the dock audio out jack.
I believe the vibrant car home app has the same button (looks like a speaker) you have to hit it until it looks muted.
I also created an app that automatically redirects to the docks output when you insert the phone into the dock. This is useful if you don't feel like dealing with the Car Home app.

That did it! Thank you for the reply!

1. The music widget type thing in the dock app just repeats 5 or 6 songs... I've fiddled with all these settings and it does the same thing.
2. When talking to people on the phone I hear the persons voice through my phone speaker, how do I get it to play through my car speakers? I think I might have to turn speaker phone off because that's how it worked with the tape adapter.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Anyone?

This probably wont help you but I'll post anyhow. I just plug in my aux jack to the phone, all the audio pumps thru there.

Does the microphone on the phone still work this way? Considering the aux cable doesn't have a mic built into it like other hands-free headsets.
Figured out why I was only hearing like 5 songs.
Apparently you're supposed to have the stock music player set to "party shuffle" and then that widget in the car dock app works great. Plays all songs.
And I'll try talking with somebody with the phone not in speaker phone, I'm pretty sure it will work so that they can hear me, and I can hear them through car speakers.
Oh and I called Moto and the lady talked sooooo slow, and verified everything I said like 4 times, just to say that she could just replace it. Didn't even know how to troubleshoot.
Is it impossible to edit the widgets that come pre-loaded in the car dock app?

tl;dr get "Car Dock Home v3"
I received the car dock yesterday and am having an issue that might be a deal breaker for me.
I am using Juggernaut v5.0 (rom and the kernel that it comes with).
Videos and music play fine through the speakers, but calls are not. I looked at all the settings that it could be and cannot seem to find it.
When docked and I get a call, its through the speaker of the phone only and NOT through the cars speakers like music and videos do.
For those that dont know or dont have the dock, your car charger and auxiliary cable plug into the dock itself and everything runs through the charging port of the phone.
I need to be able to hear my callers via the car speaker when docked or I might have to run the dock.
Any help or suggestion(s) would be grand. Thanks for your time.
Or does anyone have a stock t989 and also own the Samsung OEM Navigation Car Dock that can verify that the stock rom gets call audio through the car speakers when docked?
Weird, I flashed this today and still no Call Audio through the car speakers when docked.
I hope there is a fix very soon. Kind of makes the car dock useless.
Did you checked that:
settings; dock settings; audio output mode. I had the same problem before.

Yes, first thing I checked.
You are able to get Call Audio out from the car speakers when docked?
Hi, FYI have the very same issue with SGS4G with stock (T-Mobile) Gingerbread and its OEM Samsung navigation car dock/mount; I would therefore assume this to be a common Samsung issue
Check this post... We've got a discussion on this going on...

I am running CM9 alpha 3 and I'm absolutly loving it. It's great ot be able to get audio through the car dock with no extra installs. I also found Car Dock Settings that allows for automatic volume maximization on docking like Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector does for custom kernels.
I also have the Multimedia Desktop Dock for my desk and unfortunately I haven't been able to get sound out of the 3.5mm plug. Does anyone know if that is possible and how to make it happen?

I'm also having the same issue though i'm not a epic 4g user. does car-docking direct you to different screen like car mode? as you know, media dock directs you to desk clock. I'm trying to merge those two dock options into car-dock as a temporary solution. does cm9 has car mode? i don't have a car dock but only media dock

It has car mode because it shows the steering wheel icon in the notification bar but it doesn't take you to a dock app. I don't like the car dock apps so I'm actually fine with that.

well then pretty much the solution would be merging desk dock mode into car mode so that it recognizes it as car dock temporarily. Thanks for your answer I was trying to know it before I really spend my time to fix it. Hopefully it works...
Did you manage to get this working? I have the same problem on my i9000.
I have the same issue with the multimedia dock. It works fine on AOKP, but I don't know if it's kernel or ROM related. Might even be audioflinger. Think I will try and push a couple libs from AOKP and see if it changes anything.
Looking for some headset type adapter that i can use and plug into my cassette adapter, like you know press once to pause, press twice to advance and three times to go back.
I have tried bluetooth/FM transmitters and they degrade the quality and have to much static, or maybe blutooth adapter that has a headphone jack.
Its a pain to control music while driving with all android devices I have owned, that requiring unlocking the screen and making sure to press the correct buttons etc.
Or maybe there is a car doc for the S3 that puts the phone in dock mode and keeps the screen on like a GPS?
You can buy an adapter that's mic used to turn an ordinary headphones into a wired headset. They normally have a button on them one press to pause 2 to skip etc. I bought one from shure awhile ago.
Link please, I also just found out the Infuses 4G car mount actually fits and works with th s#. Now i just have to find a place that sells or at least ships to Canada.

see my car is not fancy enough that it has a remote which if it did would solve all my problems. I think the best option here is to buy Car Home Ultra. Its 2 bucks and the trial actually works good and has built in media controls, so you don't need to navigate away from the screen.
This works out best coz i can buy a universal dock so all 3 drivers can use the dock and have the same function since they are all Android or at least until i can find a infuse car mount.

amazon sells it. You can also modify the resistors inside and get the volume buttons to work too.
i'm not sure if you know but the S3 also has voice control if you're using the stock music app.
it only works well if there is zero cabin noise while driving. the 2nd mic is terrible when it comes to background noise suppression.
just turn on "Voice cmd for apps" under "Language and Input" in the Settings.
^ Thanks I know and have it enabled. I use it for my alarm and tried the music app as well. I find i have to yell at the phone especially to turn the dam alarm of in the morning.
@sbddude Will check out its exactly what i need. Still will get a cheap universal dock + Car Home Ultra.
Hi,
I use an iBolt xPro dock in my car, and want to listen to the audio through the dock - that works perfect. But also I use a Plantronics headset for phonecalls (in and outside the car), but when I remove my S3 from the dock I also listen to A2DP-music via the plantronics. And here is my problem:
Is there a way to automatically switch in bluetooth settings only the A2DP-mode off when I dock my S3 to the iBolt, and switch it on again when I remove it? It needs always several steps to switch it manually. Any ideas?
Thnx
Chris
