If Your Car Has Iphone/iPod Interface or Your Home Stereo Does...You NEED This!

www.Cablejive.com Has some great audio accessories, but the ones I've listed below are absolutely needed if your car is setup for iDevices and you have ANDROID.
The first converts your iPod/Iphone interface to a standard 3.5mm Audio Headphone Jack and allows for listening to your phone through an existing iPhone/iPod interface in your car or Home. ($22.96)

The second is the same thing, only it also adds a Micro USB charging solution built into the same cable. ($29.95)

Please Hit Thanks if this helps you out!

That would be handy. We have a home unit I could use this with.
Thanks!

Use code HOLIDAY15 for 15% off. Takes the total down around $5.
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
Here's hoping you're not a spammer! (Kind of a suspicious post honestly)

argh they are sold out

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've been using a female dock adapter I picked up from Deal Extreme, but it picks up electric interference when I use it in the car. Anybody else experience this?

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.

Yes... thanks. I need one of these.

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.

does the sgs2 have anything like this, like the iphone?

the sgs2 has meh quality.. but a direct digital read is perfect quality.. it cant be distorted, so if there is any fault it falls on the speakers. the iphone has a plug that can play music right from the USB plug, does the sgs2 have anything like this?

Yeah, iPhone has a line out dock. So does the iPods. I had been trying to search for "micro usb LOD" but it always comes out with nothing.
EDIT: Changed my search terms and found these 2 interesting links
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Micro-Usb-3-5mm-Adapter-LG-GR500-Xenon-VU-Plus-GR700-/150658151322?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2313ecf39a

This Line-In might not work because as it is, its a line in.

The official Samsung dock appears to have a Line Out via the USB port, so it must be possible.

A cheap USB to Lineout will have the same issue, a poor DAC.
What is that in the photo, on the bottom of the adapter? A Micro USB port?

You're forgetting the DAC. You will need to convert the digital data into analog *somewhere* -- if not the phone, then on some other device. If that's what you want to do, then you better be sure that your new DAC is better than the one built in the SGS2, otherwise you're just making the problem worse.
FYI, that iPhone pic is a headphone amp, it is not a DAC. The iPhone dock connector passes line-out analog audio through the dock connector. It is not a digital signal in the way you are thinking. Basically it is the same thing as the regular headphone output; the only difference is that it is not amplified.

A friend of mine was going on about this the other day...I'm sure he had a solution. I'll find out and report back!

A simple search would of found you the answer

Not passing through the Yamaha's preamp it's nice but isn't the output still susceptible to processor and GSM interference?

The official dock for the SGS2 has a line out. Not sure if this is thesame quality as the lineout on the phone itself.

This is a car dock that EVERYONE should own lol

I saw this yesterday when I pulled into a parking lot. I wanted to get right up to their window and take a better picture but I didn't want them to be watching me from the restaraunt and think I was plotting a break in with their vehicle.
It might be hard to see with all the reflections, but it is a vent phone holder WITH A CORDED PHONE RECEIVER! I have never seen anything like this before.

Looks to me like it's a gag. I've seen quite a few corded car phones, especially in older cars... but I've never seen something like this : -)

I can't decide. Is this post more funny or more disturbing?

Probably for better reception. I've never seen one that big though.

I suspect that it's either one of those Bluetooth handsets that looks like an old phone, only this one has a cord on it, or, more likely, one of those old phone looking handsets that plugs into the headset jack of the phone.
Walmart sells the latter for about $7.

LOL..
it was probably this guy...
(hotlinked)
Seen them around here too.. mostly Hipsters... Phone and the portable record players..
You too can own one for less than 20 bucks.. http://goo.gl/bXq61 .. that is if you don't mind people making fun of you.

You can pickup an old style handset with a 3.5mm plug on it many places.
Heck, some Walgreens have them.

Hard to see from your picture, but here is a possible....http://www.shopandroid.com/cartel-ct-1000-car-kit/3AA6027.htm

How cool is that, watching this guy on the phone...

Her's had a little 1 foot curly cord hanging off the end.. looked like it was pulled from a phone booth, but it was a working bluetooth 'handset'

iHome Android Radio / Alarm Clock / Dock

Just thought I would share this. I spotted one of these Saturday @ Bed, Bath and Beyond. It really sparked my intrest, as something us Android fans rarely see the price is decent. I currently have it sitting on my desk @ work next to my monitor with my HTC Sensation on it.
I purchased this for my GS3 that arrives tomorrow, due to the center bottom port.
I will say without a case on it, it has a little lean in it. But nothing bad. I even tried my gf's HTC OG EVO last night and it had a little lean, but charged her phone and was quite sturdy.
Check it out!

Edit: I also had Best Buy price match Bed, Bath & Beyond. Saved me $10. Total of $50.00.
On a Rated Scaled I would give it a 4/5
Sound quality is great for an alarm clock or desk radio. Do not expect to listen to in multiple rooms.

Don't you have to plug in an AUX cable to utilize the speakers? Not much of a dock if you still have to plug another cord into the phone...

I hope the plug rotates.

Yes, it actually does. They tried to make it a little more universal for the broad amount of Android devices.
As previously stated. It does require the 3.5mm to be plugged in for Audio. I agree, it could have been a better design. But this will replace my need for a $20 Office dock and $20 desk radio. Just thought i would share, as i have never seen one before.
After a little research Phillips makes some also. But are much more pricey.

i've been looking for speakers for my bedroom for a while now. i want wifi, though. no cables or docking.

I cant believe there isnt much intrest for this?

The 3.5mm plug requirement kills it for me and for most others is my guess.

It's gotten bad reviews, and the fact that you have 2 wires coming out of your device is ridiculous. I really want to buy the official Samsung speaker dock, but it's too expensive for what I want.
This one may be worth looking into though: http://www.samsung.com/us/video/home-theater/DA-E570/ZA
Haven't seen any reviews for it yet though. But it comes with an S3 dock and an iPhone dock built in and connects to audio via bluetooth.

Agreed. But that option doesnt have an alarm clock or radio. O well. Im actually pretty happy with mine. Regardless of the addtional 3.5mm needed. It works great. To each their own.

I'm not a big fan of having to plug in the audio jack as well, I'm looking at possibly getting the bluetooth Philips alarm clock
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Philips...87&skuId=3044077&st=philips alarm&cp=1&lp=12
A lot of complaints are about the app but you can use your alarm on the phone and connect via bluetooth and it comes through the clock from what I've read. A bit more expensive

Best Bluetooth to Aux Adapter

We have lost our Bluetooth to aux adapter we had in my wife's car. it was this model, but it seems like they have a newer one out now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004KPLS7K/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=
Anyone else have one they prefer?

me and two of my friends use this one: https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Bluetooth-Receiver-Streaming-Hands-free/dp/B008AGQMQC/
Well, they have this one since I had the older one that's discontinued. That metal aux part comes out btw so you can run a regular cable.

Thanks and I am glad you mentioned that. I saw that one but didnt want it because I didnt want that bulky thing sticking out of my aux LOL. I was quite set on aptx but i am reading some reviews and it seems like it really doesnt add much especially for stock car speakers. The fact that this is bluetooth 4.1 makes it attractive. Many are 4.0

I've been very happy with this one, and it supports Aptx:
iClever Himbox Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit with Clip, AptX, Multi-Point Access,3-Port USB Charger https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011NR0BY8

Now that i think of it, my previous one didnt have a battery and had to be plugged in. Sounds like a negative but it was great because you didnt have to turn it on and off. I think i am going to stick with one that has to be plugged in and turns on automatically.
Im looking at these right now:

thanks! adding this to my list. This is on the pricier end of what i am looking at but also checks all the boxes including aptx.

FYI, I also had to buy a ground loop noise isolator with that Himbox, since I was getting some interference noise.

I also bought a super flat and thin aux cable so I could reduce the footprint.
