I bought a DockBoss cable which should let me connect my G-Note to a iPod/Phone/Pad dock. I tried it with the Zeppelin Air and a Samsung Home Cinema. Both didn't work. I read that some docks communicate with the iDevice. Then the dock is not able to receive sound from the DockBoss cable.
Could there be a possibility to fix this?
Now play music on any device through docking speaker

I just bought a new car yesterday & have a question about playing music through the stereo. My car is a equipped with a 3.5mm & a USB. Basically it is setup so that you can play your ipod/iphone through the car stereo.
I can play music from my phone using the 3.5mm AUX but there is not a lot of volume. Not only that but the quality seem to be degraded.
I can connect my phone via the sync cable but music will only play when I select disk drive when asked for the usb connection type. The sound quality & volume is excellent but I can't use my playlists on the phone. Is there a way to get music to play through the car stereo when activesync connection is selected?
Or is there a cable like the iphone cable that will allow me to do this?
How good are you with wiring? Their are pretty easy to install car kits that will work better

If you check the manual for the stereo system, are there any playlist formats that it does support?
Perhaps just by saving your playlists in a different format, you might get it to work...
normally in my stereo which only has the 3.5mm headphone jack I find that if you turn the phone all the way it up sounds very distorted, I tend to turn it down 2 notches from max and adjust my car stereo volume from there
i also found that to be very helpful with quality also
Update:
My car stereo will read the folders on my imagio when disk drive is selected for the USB connection. I can scroll to individual folders & songs that I want to hear. There are still too problems though.
1. I would rather navigate my music folders via the phone with an activesync connection.
2. When I have the disk drive connection selected I am unable to use TomTom.
I can use the AUX jack but I don't get as much volume. On the highway at 75MPH I have to have the volume on the stereo maxed & it still isn't loud enough.
Is there a solution that would allow me to use the USB connection?
I would prefer a solution that is only going to cost me a couple of bucks
Previously I did have one of the FM modulators to play music through the stereo. I am aware of lowering the volume on the phone to reduce the noise.
Thanks to those of you that have replied to my original post.
It looks like your phone doesn't have enough "power" to feed your AUX in.
Normaly you should use a line-signal to feed your AUX.
What you can try is to amplify your signal from you phone before you send it in you AUX.
If your car stereo have a bluetooth option, you can pair it for sound!
Hi all ,
I've just bought the official Samsung car holder / dock.
i1.expansys.com/img/b/217880/samsung-car-holder-for-galaxy-s-ii.jpg
It's well made and a perfect fit for the phone (without case) but I'm having problems connecting to my car stereo.
After a bit off fiddling with settings (turning on USB debugging) I can connect my GalaxyS2 directly to my Pioneer DEH-2300UB headunit with the USB cable.
GalaxyS2 then detects that it's connected by USB. Pulling down the notification bar and clicking the USB icon turns it on. It is then detected by the headunit like it would any USB mass storage device and plays MP3 files.
But if I connect the car holder to the headunit with the USB cable, then clip my GalaxyS2 into the car holder, the phone goes into car dock mode.
I can get out of car dock mode by pulling down the notifications bar and turning it off but I can't get the the phone into USB mass storage mode.
Any idea how I can get my GalaxyS2 to detect the USB connection and not the car dock?
how about turning USB debuggin on then connect into the dock and then turning it off?
Thanks, but nope that didnt work.
Can you post a picture or link to your car dock?
I'm a newb so can't post direct pics or links so you'll have to cut and paste the link below.

Is there any setting you can adjust on your car stereo?
No settings on stereo. its an issue with the phone

Have you tried changing it from car dock to say sound station/dock?
You can turn the car dock off by pulling down the notification bar a clicking the car dock icon. Not sure if it will let the phone go into mass storge mode after that though.
Nope tried that as well
Hmm is it able to detect the phone or is it only the problem relating to playback?
The head unit detects that something has been connected and tries to scan it but because the GalaxyS2 is not in mass storage mode the headunit displays an error.
Maybe theres a 3rd party app that can change it or maybe we can trick the phone into detecting connection into something else first and then putting it into the car dock. thus it might not go into the car dock mode
Been looking around the market. There are a few apps but "NoDock" seems to be the closest to what I'm looking for.

There is a trial version. I'll re-root my phone and give it a try.
Cool. Let us know after you give it a try
BTW have you tried plugging in a female USB port and then connecting the male end to your head unit? Or maybe you could try an aux input after docking it.
I think what is happening is that the USB connection is just supplying power to the car holder.
There is an AUX-out on the car holder and an AUX-in on the headunit. I'll see if I can find an AUX cable and try it. Connected that way I think I'll be able to control the MP3s from the phone instead of the headunit.
Maybe this is a bit off-topic but can you tell me if you notice any interference noise through the dock's audio line out when the phone is not playing anything? This is an annoying issue in the I9000 with its official car dock.

What type of interference? I get the usual RF interference just the same as if you put the phone next to a speaker when in GPRS mode. You'd get that with all phones IMO.

I didn't mean RF interference, that will depend on the proper shielding your audio system has (I think). The noise I'm talking about is different, sometimes it's random noise and some other times it is a buzzing that goes high and low depending on the acceleration/deceleration of the car engine... I know... weird. This does NOT happen if I connect the phone directly through its 3.5 jack and not the dock's.
Maybe they sorted it out in the I9100 car dock.

In my car, there is a USB port that allows devices to be connected with audio out. If i connect an iPhone through usb, I can hear the audio output, as well as use the buttons on the steering wheel to skip songs and such.
Now, for my GS2, I want to be able to do the same, but I can not find a cable anywhere. There are the official samsung docks, but they will not fit with my case. I am simply looking for a cable that does the same thing. I have seen a DIY guide on how to make your own, but I would like to simply purchase one
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
no, thats the problem with decks and icrap software. your best bet is to get a deck that can read mass storage and create a music folder on you card and just navigate to that. or get a deck with bt audio and stream it. you can control the music through the deck. I have a Kenwood deck that does this.
good day everyone.
I'm looking for a time now but can't find a remote control device that controls the music player of android smartphone, while the phone is conected to my car audio line in.
Does someone know if there exist such a device? (except the watches)
I have never heart about such knid of device.
How do you connect your phone to your stereo? Usb, Bluetooth, or aux cable?
If aux cable, there are some inline extension cables with buttons, which can be programmed to skip tracks, etc.
I have a Honda City 2010 Model and it has a usb connection for Audio play (Mp3) , if I conncet any USB storage it will easily detect and play the songs, but if I connect my phone via USB cable it will not detect it. I was wondering if anyone has a solution for it or if there is any application for this purpose
by the way the Audio system can detect IPOD as it is mentioned in guidebook but I don't have IPOD
I would have thought it would need a type of driver that can only be put on when being made.
Something that tells your stereo what has connected, and what to do with it.
Apple being the most popular choice is what most manufacture goes with. If your stereo has line in. you could get a cable off eBay. (Looks like an earphone jack socket. Same as the top of your note 2.) Or what I use, a FM transmitter. I use a belkin tunecast.

Thanks for your reply, I found a way to mount external microsd card using usb mass storage enabler application, now I can play songs in my phone via car audio system
I remember when I had nokia phone there was one application to use FM to play the songs in phone on car audio system. is there any app for android to do so? or is NoteII capable of doing the same thing?
No there is no such app because it's actually a hardware fm transmitter where as note 2 doesn't hav that
