Mic/speaker adapter for Exec/Jasjar headphone socket needed

Until I get a proper car kit I'm trying to arrange a microphone/speaker system in my car for my Exec.
The Exec's 3.5mm headphone socket has all the connections I need to get audio out (to my car head unit) and receive a microphone feed in. The supplied Exec headset has a standard four-band 3.5mm jack plug.
Has anybody found a splitter with a 4-band jack plug that provides a stereo 3.5mm socket (audio out) plus a mono 3.5mm socket (mic in) that will connect to the Exec and give me the connectivity I seek?
Since the headphone socket is in parallel to the USB socket and the antenna extension sockets along the back of the Exec, I'm hoping that someone somewhere is making a car cradle with all these connections built in... Slide the Exec into the holder in laptop mode and instantly get power, audio out, audio in, antenna and GPS connectivity in one simple cradle.
Well... I can dream... :roll:

That is exactly what I'm looking for. If someone can tell me where I can get hold of one in the UK I'd be very happy.
Thanks for the translation Mart.

You can ask the people from the german MDA Club, if they can send you one over in the UK

Any luck obtaining one? Ive just filled in the form but dont know if I will get a reply.

No - no luck yet, but then I've done bugger all about finding one. I'm pretty sure it's not available on the High Street in the UK.
I'm also not in a hurry until I know which car kit I'll be using and whether it's got a headphone/mic connection.
Let me know if you have any luck though.

I'd like to find an adapter that allows me to run audio out to my car speakers but NOT disable the microphone on the JasJar. When I plug in a regular 3.5mm audio cable it disables the JasJar microphone. Does this type of cable exist?
If not, what hands-free microphone solutions are people using with the type of adapter shown above?

I'm looking for the same solution. It seems odd that a regular 3.5mm cable disables the mic - surely only a 3.5mm cable with mic input should do that?

I never know this, I always think the designer of the Uni should be smart enough to design it in such a way so that even though we use a normal headphone, the internal mic still works.
My old XDA does that exactly though it has 2.5mm headphone port. Whenever I use a normal plug (not the custom one), the mic is still working.

I've found another site that offers audio adapters including the one above (in fact I think this is probably where the MDA Pro site gets their adapters from):
http://pc-mobile.net/audioadapter.htm
I emailed them about the adapters and whether any of them would keep the internal mic enabled on an XDA Exec, however they have not tested any of them with any HTC Universal yet.
If anyone's tried any of these, please let us know.

Has anybody tried this?

Bluetooth audio streaming accessory

So I get my S2 tomorrow (Giddy as a schoolgirl) but I was looking for suggestions on replacing my current audio streaming setup. Basically my current phone, the Nexus One, had a bluetooth dock which when paired (Either when physically in the dock or over bluetooth) it would stream all audio from the handset to my connected sound system (Via 3.5mm jack).
I'm looking for an easy way to do the same with my S2, I don't really use the actual dock for physically docking so if there is a different/cheaper alternative which achieves the same effect then I'd be more than willing to try.
Thanks

If I understand what you are saying right then this here is what I am using and I find it superb.

Wondering why your existing dock won't work with the SGSII? If its bluetooth it will be handling streaming over the A2DP bluetooth protocol, which the SGSII supports, I doubt there is anything Nexus specific about it...

I want that but with a 3.5mm input jack rather than the cable coming out from it. I'm basically looking for some sort of bluetooth hub/headset which has a 3.5mm port. I know I didn't explain it very clearly

Unfortunately it's the official Nexus One dock and can only be paired once the phone has been docked once, therefore it only works with Nexus Ones. PITA for sure

Ah, OK, thanks for that explanation.
I have this - http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...51&storeId=10151&langId=-1&partNumber=DRCBT15
Very nice as a receiver, but also good for use with whichever headset you like (I use it when exercising, the AVRCP controls are very handy for controlled media playback).

That's exactly what I'm looking for, it's really helped push me in the right direction. Cheers

I am not sure able DRC-BT15 since I didn't brought this one. But I would suggest Sony's DS-220 or DS-205, those two unlike the newest MW-600 could be use under charging. (I own all of them...)

I've got a Jabra Clipper which works quite well. Just leave it plugged in to the plug and the stereo all the time.
If your stereo has an iPod dock you can try the uPlay bluetooth dock adapter - sadly didn't work with mine, suspect it's because my stereo tries to be clever and offer controls as well as just music playing.
There's also a Belkin dongle but I've never used it.
Any other solutions you find primarily aimed at home use rather than a repurposed portable one, I'd be very interested

I use this, the HP Bluetooth Pendant. It's a transmitter and a receiver. You're looking for the receiver (bottom part of the picture). The transmitter's pretty cool if you want to use a pair of decent wired headsets over Bluetooth. It's discontinued but you can still find them online. The model number is KD031AA#ABA.

Yeah I originally bought the audio only version but Just ordered the combo so I'd have one less thing to take up my cigarette lighter adapters. Gonna gift the old cable as it still looks and works like brand new. P.S. they are pretty fast shipping wise as well.

I want to get this for my Volvo but not sure if it will work. My Volvo Ipod adapter plays the playlists on the ipod, and I'm able to play slacker. ANyone think this will work with a Volvo ipod kit?

They only list the VW and Audi as not Compatible. I think you'll be fine. Either way if it doesn't work it won't be hard to return or resell.

Neat, I will definitely think about getting this

Serves me right to be called a spammer lol. I switched to iPhone with the iPhone 4 and just came back to android for the Galaxy 2. Since I switched everything for iPhone I had to find a way to get my new Galaxy II hooked to all my docks and car kits I spent hundreds on. Buy or do not buy, but I have been hanging around here since 2007 and thought it was about time I contribute.

I haven't had any of that out of the audio only adapter I have. (the one on top) The charging and audio adapter arrives tomorrow hopefully, so I'll let you know after I've had a chance to test.

Well it ended up being at home waiting for me yesterday. I can report that with power and audio I have no feedback or noise in the background. Just clear music. I think those other systems just aren't grounded as well. Hope this helps your decision.

Car dock phone audio

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!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

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!?

I'm using CheckROM and I tried to use the Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector but it was unsuccessful. Maybe with samsung stock ROM?! Have anyone tried this!?

i read someone had luck on resurrection ics rom...but not the last release...

maybe you'd be interested on this thread....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531483

Try westcrip 8.6 ics resurrection ROM.
Works for me with phone and music through car speakers.
Please report back your findings (I am wondering if there is something else to this)
Note: I am sure it has to do with the kernel used.
Thx

I tried dock sound with GB 2.3.6 and works fine.
I think there's no suport for this dock with CM(7 or 9)

Doosl Bluetooth Music Receiver
As most of us do, we use to listen music when we are in our cars, home or rooms, and most of us always finish using the AUX cable connected to our smartphone. This device comes here just to make everything easier and help us getting a much better way to listen music and don´t leave the phone near our sound system because if not we can´t hear our own music.
Using bluetooth devices for this things is very good since we can connect different devices for streaming music and in a very easy way, since this device has not bluetooth password and will let us connect very fast.
The specifications of this device are:
* Bluetooth Version: 4.1
* Bluetooth Range: Up to 30 feet
* Dimensions: 2.0*1.0*0.4 inches
* Power Supply: inner 250mAh Li-Battery charging via Micro USB cable
* Operation time: up to 16 hours(built-in battery) music playback
* Compatibility: car stereos, home stereos/speakers, headphones etc. by 3.5mm stereo inlet socket.
Now I will show you the content of this package, that is very small, and includes all the necessary things for the most comfortable use.
The first thing you see when you open the box is the device, and a little 3.5mm two-side cable that will allow you to connect the device wherever you want. Also the box includes an instruction guide, warranty and a USB cable for charging the device. We can say that we get everything we need inside this little box, and that´s a great point, since we will not need to spend any extra money to get the basic usability of this device.
The device itself includes a very big Play Button that will act as our Turn On/Connect/Turn Off button, which has a LED around the play button which shows us if our device is connected, turned on or searching for a device. Also in terms of connections, the device includes a Micro USB port and the 3.5mm port.
Here I let you see all the pictures about the device and all the components:
Now I am going to speak about the good and the bad points of this device after use it for more than a week.
GOOD POINTS
* Very light device
* Really small
* Very good quality sound
* Sound is loud
* Battery is good optimized
* Very easy to configure and fast connecting
* Really easy to use thanked to the LED
BAD POINTS
* Sometimes you are not more far away than 30 feet and the device stops playing the music or distorts.
Now is time to speak about the price of this device. I have to say for the use I give it on the car and on the hotel´s room I´m staying now or some places where I go with friends, the price is affordable and the device is worth the money you need to pay to get it The actual price of this device is $14.99 when it was $41 before so I really recommend to get it now that it is on sale.
Here I give you the link for you get the device: Mod Edit by @Darth : Selling site link removed.
Don´t worry if the description says it has Bluetooth 4.0, it is just an error and the device, as you can see on pictures has Bluetooth 4.1
Also here I give you the link for the complete album of pictures I took to this device so you can have a better look to the product: ALBUM
Wish you liked it!​

I deleted the battery one since it seems I was not using a good charger, so the charging time is correct for what it offers.
No, I did not see any other issue. And in your case, for the car is perfect. I would say this is a car's related device that can be given different uses outside a car

The Doosl DSER 102 Bluetooth Receiver is one of the most portable bluetooth devices I had. it's a nice fashionable sleek looking device, its very easy to pair simply hold the play button for a couple of seconds and wait for it to blink then grab your smartphone and it will detect the Doosl DSER 102 and just pair it.
The Great thing about this device it comes with an adapter, although I wish the adapt is a cable type so I can still extend it in case the socket of the audio plug doesn't have enough room space. But that is just minor.
The Quality is superb and it fits on any audio devices. although battery life is quite short but still enough for some long hours of non-stop music. :good:

I know that thread is not new, but I can't find out answer for my question about this product, is it possible to skip song by double click play button?? I am using android phone, sometimes iphone

Hi Andy!
Actually not, this is not the use that can be given to this device. It just exports audio transmitted via Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack way. That reverse Bluetooth function is not available.
