Hello friends, I was a previous owner of the Galaxy S1 which had an incredible placement of the 3.5mm and the power connection
Basically when I use my phone on the car, I used to connect both cables on the same side of the phone and I would get audio on my stereo system while charging the phone (I used a normal dock to hold my phone)
But now with the GS2 I have a huge problem. The Micro-USB connection is at the bottom and the 3.5mm is at the top... This creates a huge problem for me at my car so...
I'm looking for a Micro-USB adapter that gives me both audio and another microUSB slot (So I can power my phone)
Does such thing exist or is it only possible to have one of them? Not both?
I also thought about buying the Desk dock and finding a place to fit it to my car, but that's very troublesome because the official GalaxyS2 dock is expensive and huge...
Just thought about this. Would a Micro-USB splitter work ? On the split connections I would connect the power and the Micro-USB to 3.5mm adapter
I also found this from Palm

The official car dock has usb power and audio out via the micro usb port. It works brilliantly.

But it's too expensive I think...
It has to be mounted on the windshield right?
I would love to find out about this as well, but I seriously doubt any good solution exists besides the stock dock.

It's £34 but worth it IMO. Any reason why you don't want a screen mount? I have mine right at the bottom of the screen and it's never come off and is quite discreet.

Destroys some of the aesthetic of the car. I have a MINI Cooper and the holder I used was on the cupholder down by the Gear knob. All the cables were hidden and right by hand.
I'll try the Car dock since it has both charging and audio sources... But I think the cheaper solution would be the mini USB splitter.
I'll try both.
I'm interested in this too!
You need a micro usb connector.
Pin 1 connect to +5V
Pin 2 + 3 connect to audio l + r, Ground to Pin 5
Pin 4 connect to Pin 5 via 620k Ohm Resistor -> this triggers Car dock mode
Pin 5 connect to Ground
Go to Settings/Dock Settings/Audio-Output-mode
Pin 1 is right when the connector is in the SGS II and the screen is visible.
Voila, ALexander
This is also interesting to me.
I currently have a HTC Desire HD, and it does'nt send audio out via microUSB, so in the car I have a passive holder and connect a 3.5mm and a microUSB to charge and play music at the same time.
Anyway, I'm soon getting a Galaxy S II from work, and was wondering about the audio out and charging.
My car has an USB input, does the SGS both charge and output audio at the same time via the microUSB port? (My old Desire did )
If you feel like soldering:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321491
The official car dock has a screw connection for the cradle to attach to the suction mount so you could take it off.
IMO it is a great piece of kit and holds the phone securely even with the extended battery.
I bought the original samsung car dock but I'm having some issues:
- If I plug the USB directly to the car stereo USB port, the USB is not mounted.
- If I receive a call, the audio do not output from dock audio-out. If i plug the audio cable to the cell audio out, I can hear the call from car speakers, but not if plugged directly to car dock audio-out. Btw, if no audio cable is plugged, I can hear the call from SGS2 internal speakers.
Does anyone can help me?
1. i think the micro usb port is only for charge, not data...
2. this is the normal behavior of this car kit....ask to samsung why didn't make audio calls going out through usb connector. As this is about software maybe can be forced in some way by a modded kernel, but i couldn't find anything around...
Phone calls work through my car - via the micro usb.
It depends on the kernel you are using.
I use westcrip 8.6 ics rom - everything works fine.
I'm using CheckROM... it even if I use a specific APK I was unable to reproduce the sound through the dock audio-out.
Anyway, I can't belive that USB plug cannot mount. If I use a normal cable I'm able to mount, but with the dock I can't.

This cable offers one solution, providing an adapter to iFern docking speakers.
I'd like a microUSB speaker dock though.
Looks like Philips Fidelio is an option.

Hey guys, I've searched extensively for this but I really need a mod/app/kernel / rom that will allow phone call audio out on the original samsung car dock. Music works fine and it's loud and clear on car stereo but phone calls just get routed to phones own loudspeaker.
The Dock plugs into phone via micro usb then you plug in a 3.5mm headphone jack and separate charging cable into the dock itself
Any help would be really appreciated!

A mechanical alternative might be to get an audio jack splitter and a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, then plug that into the top of the phone and the other end into the splitter, which then goes into the dock with the one spare female jack being for a cable to the car audio input. No clue if that will work though, but in theory...

That's a good idea but liked the fact the dock is pretty hassle free. Just pop the phone in and everything is connected. Anyone have any other solutions or links to custom ROMs that have sorted this issue?

An audio splitter splits the audio, it does not combine it. What you want is a mixer, which is a different product (and usually much more expensive). A mixer is designed to attenuate the signal from the two inputs so that the combined output doesn't overload the speakers.
So in theory, it would not work. But in practice you might be able to get away with it as long as you don't try to use both phone outputs at the same time. But if you care about the speakers on your car, I wouldn't risk it.
To the OP, I think the phone will send both music and calls over Bluetooth, so you might look into a Bluetooth adapter for your car as a possible solution. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Britelink-Bluetooth-Audio-Receiver-Portable/dp/B0059M4G9K
Thanks for the advice!

I know what you mean, but I don't think adding dual inputs to the line-in would in any way affect the actual speakers. I've used this method on various gear before and the result varies. Sometimes they mix fine, sometimes one signals essentially mutes the other.
A simple solution guaranteed to work however is to make a splitter that has a switch. More cumbersome, but it would allow you to manually switch from one input to the other when a call comes in.
surely it would be a quick coding hack to a ROM which would allow phone audio to be routed through the dock, after all that is what happens to music and GPS instructions... so why not phone audio!?

First of all, I already ordered original Samsung MHL adapter, as it's much cheaper, and I will use it from time to time. I also got the audio dock for charging, and not use the usb. And ordered original Samsung OTG adapter.
Now for my questions, from what I know, the HDMI dock can charge, and use HDMI to connect to TV, but it's limited to videos only? or not?
and second question, what if I connect OTG adapter to the microUSB on the dock? will it work? or it same limited port, like in MHL adapter?
What, no buddy here have the HDMI dock?

I read something somewhere that running pre-4.0.4 stock would actually allow the HDMI dock to function as a mirror. I didn't have this with AOKP 4.0.3 however. My phone is limited to just video (Currently 4.0.4 AOKP). I'd love it if I had the option to use the dock for mirroring.
The OTG adapter shouldn't work with the USB port, as it's limited to charging, no data. Says so in the manual for the dock.
Ohh, I just not sure if to cancel the order of MHL adapter, sure it's more handy, and small, so if I go to a friend, I can get the adapter with me...
The thing is, that here: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/03/23/review-samsung-galaxy-nexus-hdmi-portrait-desktop-dock/
according to manual it say:

So they recommend to update the ROM to thelatest, but they also say it limited to video only. on other hand, pre 4.0.4....yes you guess it, there was no any dock settings in the ROM, but it worked just like the much cheaper MHL adapter, I already spent some cash on the Pogo Dock, so my microUSB stay still ,
I know it more good looking with the dock, but if it really limited, then **** Samsung.
P.S, can anybody here comment on latest stock 4.0.4? is there same limitation to video only? because, you see, I have HTPC in one room, and watch movies and other stuff with it, so spent money on some sheet I may use from time to time, is stupid, as the Pogo Dock at least save my microUSB port, and even have line out with an option to use optical cable, but the HDMI dock, only can show videos, so why the **** I need it then ? I do see it good with emulators if I not at hotel or something, but if MHL adapter can mirror, and it cost much much less, why buy that dock? also some aftermarket HDMI docks can mirror the screen, like that:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...s_Adapters&hash=item2ebd72c665#ht_2529wt_1859
hell, that thing, can charge, sync, and mirror hdmi, and even can work with phone in a case, **** Samsung guys, aftermarket sometimes can be over 9000 times better that original, to bad there no pogo aftermarket one.

I have both OEM OTG adapter and MHL adapter for my GNex. I am running IMM76K deodexed, zipaligned. I can view files from flash drive, connect external drive, or do almost anything you can do with a computer using OTG adapter. And I can mirror phone on TV w/ MHL adapter w/sound and everything.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
The thing is, that the phone recognize the dock as a different accessory, not like regular MHL adapter, but most people I asked, on 4.0.4 it not mirror .
anyway I ordered the MHL adapter, and OTG, original Samsung BTW, I will need them just in case, but that case both cost less then that crap dock, but I could not resist not to buy the pogo dock , I know it not cheap, but it a cheap price for working micoUSB port
PS, check Kidigi docks, they support MHL, and even can charge second battery, sync, charge, and fit a phone with a case on it.
I bought the official pogo desktop dock from the Play Store for my GSM Nexus with CM9 nightly on it.
The dock's micro USB port ONLY works for charging!
If you plug it into a computer's USB, it will charge but will not connect, manually even says not to plug it into the computer because it may damage the dock, says to use a charger.
So not sure if OTG will work or not.
I just opened the box. Plugged in a USB drive in the back of the dock, no power is being supplied to the drive. I am not using an OEM Samsung otg cable. If undock and plug in the USB drive straight tot the phone it world no problem.
I will try with a powered HD and ill experiment with mirroring and non video outputs
edit: the dock does work with the OEM extended battery (w/ no case), it's a little tight, but actually fits pretty good
I'm coming over from an iphone for which I have this cable.
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Cable-3-5mm-Charger-iPhone/dp/B00509DPRQ/ref=pd_cp_cps_1
It has the standard iphone connector on one end, then the other end has both a usb and aux. This lets me connect just one cable to the phone, then on the other end I plug the usb into my car's usb plug and the aux into the aux jack.
Basically with one cable going to the phone I can charge it and get audio through the car stereo.
Does the same thing exist for the S3?
In the setup you described you would need at least two connections one to charge and one to transmit audio

The difference is that the iPhone transmits standard stereo audio over the iphone connector, so a Y cable works for this. Since you don't get audio over the USB connector on the SG3 this sort of cable would not make sense.

You should look into the Samsung Infuse 4G car dock. There is a thread discussing it but I can't post links yet. It works perfectly with the S3 from what I gather. The dock itself has an audio out that u can use for your car.

You can also use it as a home dock.
I recently started developing cables for the exact same purpose (Micro USB to audio out+charging)
I will be constructing and selling around 10 of these cables . Please email me or PM me on [email protected] if interested.
I can sell it to you via eBay and also use Paypal.

Because if you can only charge via USB. I have USB charger and aux-in for car stereo. I have tested infuse dock but that sound quality was poor and like a flat because bass was missing. I did't found program what only modified EQ when phone is in dock-mode. But i am not sure if this cable situation any better because i asked mrushabh that when plug that cable on the phone it is going to dock-mode.

Not entirely true. I have a Hyundai Sonata, and my car can also scan the SD (or internal memory) for music files and play them, allowing me to navigate via the radio.
Unfortunately, it does not allow things like Tune In Radio to work, so I have to use an AUX jack anyway.
It's really too bad, and its definitely one thing Apple did right. The USB in these phones should be able to transmit audio. There shouldn't be any technical reason why it can't, it's just USB, and USB transfers audio all the time. I guess the problem would be having car stereos that would support it.
Perhaps I generalized too much. I have only aux in, and seperate usb-charger.

do you have any kind of case on the sgs3? I noticed that some cases don't let you plug in the aux cables all the way and it doesn't get a good connection. make sure your aux cable is plugged in all the way. if that doesn't work try another cable to see if that's the issue.

Yea, I had this same problem. My case was preventing the cable from making a good connection. Took case off and works but now I hear music thru the left speaker. Anyone having this problem??? I tried a different AUX cable and I still have the problem. I wonder if there's a phone setting I need to change? Anyone please???
p.s. CD's and radio audio is thru both speakers but not phone.

I have a case but the aux cable I use is thin and goes all the way in. I am starting to think that the sgs 3 only likes the triple stripe plugs.(the ones on headphones that include a Mic on the wire). I'm going to look for a 6 foot male/male triple stripe 3.5 mm cable at fry's.

I have no problems with my regular 3.5mm headphone jack in my stereo, but I do agree that it is kind of touchy, especially with my case on. For a work around, I put my music on my SD card, and plug the usb into my phone, mount it as UMS with SGS3 EASY UMS, and Voila! Music on my stereo and control of the music through my car stereo vs the phone.
I got a new cable and having the same problems. Headphones still have no issue but I tested my phone connected to my ihome via audio cable and I'm having a funny issue where between songs if I press next, the speaker sounds like there's nothing plugged in. (Audio feedback) but then it stops when the new song plays.
Also... in my car I was able to play music if I plug the cable into my car and press play simultaneously. The 'headphones connected' notification comes up for about 1.5 seconds. If I press play while that notification is there, I can play one song. But then after one song finishes, the same problem happens.
Edit: I cannot produce the headphones connected notification by plugging the cable into my phone, only if the cable is already in my phone and I plug it into my car
I'm beginning to think that my headphone jack is not grounded properly so imma exchange the phone for another one if I test this issue with my friends gs3 and do not have the same problem

Recently purchased the SM-N975U t-mobile variant. I begrudgingly purchased a type-c to 3.5 aux adapter to use my phone in my car for music.
I have the google brand adapter (not sure what it is called or if there are different types)
I noticed now when the dongle is plugged into my phone the microphone stops working on my device. I have to unplug the dongle to get the microphone on my device to work again which makes taking a call while driving a bit difficult.
Running through a few different diagnostics the phone is recognizing the aux adapter (google inc. Headphone adapter)
I'm assuming the device is attempting to use the headphone adapter as a microphone source (for headphones with an in-line mic). But my cars aux setup definitely does not have a microphone.
I've looked all through the settings on the phone for some solution as well as looking online but I have found nothing. I haven't been able to find anything online for anyone experiencing my same issue and I'm wondering if it might be an isolated issue with my device or maybe the specific adapter I have.
Does anyone have any ideas how i can keep the internal mic enabled while an aux adapter is plugged in?
I'll try this in my car. I didn't want a dongle so I simply bought a 3.5mm to USB C cord. Not sure if it matters.
I don't think it is possible without the software having the option. It is not just a headset dongle. The phone is feeding the audio to the USB C connector and looking for mic input from there as well. Those adapters have both the audio out and the microphone connection so you can just plug in any standard 3.5 mm earbuds or headset with a mic and make phone calls. It is similar to wanting the phone mic to work if you plugged a 3.5 mm headset into a 3.5 mm jack on a phone with a 3.5 mm jack. Manufacturers just design it so that the audio out and mic goes through that port when something is plugged in.
You may have to try a speaker and mic splitter cable with a lapel mic or something.
Also note that the Google adapters have a DAC chip in them. All of the adapters and a USB C headset that I had purchased for my Pixel 2XL work with the Note 10+. Except on one adapter the mic works for calls, but not for trying Bixby. That's the oldest adapter I have, so maybe it is only partially compatible.
The only other type of USB C to 3.5 mm adapter type that I am aware of does not have the DAC chip in them. If you look on, say Amazon, they will usually say not compatible with Pixel 2 or 3. Also sometimes will say not compatible with Essential phone, and a few others. If the price is really low, as in much less than $10 each they are likely not compatible. But again, it isn't the adapter that is the issue.

Does the 3.5mm to type C cable let the phones microphone work still when its plugged it? I might have to try this.

Yeah actually, it works fine. I just asked the Google Assistant for directions and it gave them to me without a problem.
I am having the same issue. I have used multiple adapters and none of them let the mic work right. It seems that the mic works for the ok Google command but that's it. Google can pick up the first command and not the second. This issue is so frustrating! I have the unlocked note 10 plus with the Google usb c dongle.

I ended up following the advice of the replies here and went to amazon and picked up a 3.5 aux to usb C cable and it works perfectly.
I believe the dongles don't work with cars because the s10 note is recognizing the adapter as a headphone adapter and is looking to use the headphones inline microphone. I'm sure if the car had a built in microphone it could work with it but my car being an older jeep model does not have that. Like someone else mentioned in this thread, trying to use your internal microphone while plugged into a dongle to your car is the same as trying to use your internal microphone while a pair of usb C headphones are plugged in. It wont work.
I really wish manufacturers would continue putting aux ports on their phones but sadly that's just not how things are going to be.
Hope buying an aux to type C cable works for you and solves this problem since it fixed mine.

I have an older car with a 3.5mm aux audio input, and it works with these (the adapter must have DAC circuit included). "Ok Google", Phone calls on speaker in the phone, and also when using the car speakers, all work perfectly (in my case, phone mic always used therefore when in my car).
It's all in the quality of the USB-c to 3.5mm adapter - two items of primary importance, the adapter having a DAC and also handling the lead for the mic properly. The Samsung one is not available in black, so I use this (which works properly):
USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter, USB Type-C to 3.5mm Adapter Nylon Cable [DAC Hi-Res] Compatible with iPad Pro New 2018,Pixle 2/XL/3,HTC,Samsung S8/S9/Note 8 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RMY3V9D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PjBQDbQYN3YX9
That adapter when used in the car, I use with an extension cable (male on both ends) to connect to the aux input on the dashboard (as in the first picture - the cable has no lead for the mic).
When utilizing with earbuds for phone calls and the like, that same adapter can be used, but in this case the cable for the earbuds includes a lead for the microphone - see the second picture.
Some people have microphone issues in my opinion I believe the adapter has to properly include a DAC but also properly handle whether or not the microphone lead is connected. If no microphone lead connected, then adapter should work such that the phone "understands" there is no mic so the phone mic should be enabled.

Use Lesser Audio Switch app. It perfectly reroutes your mic audio and resolves all your issues while using USB C adapters.
