I am looking for a CM or AOKP (AOSP) rom with the Dock Audio working through the USB port thingy (I know, best technical word ever). I am getting tired of all the bloatware and the look of TouchWiz on my Galaxy Note II. I have the iBolt car dock with the 9' cable which acts like a dock with the audio and charge. Which on of the roms out there are working or do I need to buy a different car dock to get it working. I really don't want to have to connect 2 cables to my phone to listen to my music.
thanks in advance,

The S3 is the first phone that I had serious plans to integrate into my car to use for more convenient navigation, stereo audio (via A2DP), etc. I've connected it with some success but it doesn't quite work as well as I had hoped. I didn't see another thread on the topic so I thought I'd start a thread where everyone could share their tips/tricks/best practices. Here is my setup and issues:
I have a 2009 Murano LE that has bluetooth but the BT system does not support A2DP. The purchase of the Galaxy S3 coincided with the expiration of my warranty so I installed the Neo Audio GV1 setup to add A2DP (and other features). I use the Infuse 4G car mount.
The car mount works well but one complaint I have is that there's no easy way to get back into "car mode" (the S Voice thing) if I leave the S Voice app for any reason. My current solution is to quickly pop the sliding charger but of the mount out and back in.
What apps/configurations do others out there use?
I went with a Pioneer AppRadio2. It's what I view as the current leader for an integrated solution.
It uses Bluetooth for phone calls and touch screen control. The display uses HDMI to connect to the phone.
It has downsides. Number one is that it's buggy as ****. It also only allows you to control approved apps directly through the radio.
There are some really high quality apps though.
I have an ELM327 Bluetooth adapter for my OBD2 connector on the car. On my phone I run DashCommand which the AppRadio controls directly. I have real time fuel economy as well as many other readings available to me directly on the AppRadio as well as the ability to run diagnostics and pull and clear trouble codes. All of this can be done through the radio/phone combo.

omg, i've been looking for someone who has this phone with appradio 2. i absolutely hate the appradio 2. The bluetooth OBD2 seems interesting with dash command. There seems to be 2 kinds on ebay, the 1.5v and 2v?
I'm trying the infuse 4G car dock but the audio doesn't come out of the micro usb port for audio. it will only connect if I use the MHL connector directly. i'm also worried if I use CM10 it wont' be compatible with the appradio 2 anymore?

The reason the Infuse dock won't work for you is that Samsung changed the pinout on the S3 for MHL. It's now an 11-pin connector instead of 5.
For the OBD2 I got the v1.4b Elm adapter as Elm says that there is no newer version that they've created. It works really well.
I haven't tried CM10 because I'm certain that it doesn't support MHL. CM9 didn't support it on my Skyrocket either. It's a shame really, because CM9 fixed all of the Bluetooth bugs that the Touchwiz version of ICS seems to have.

I have the Infuse dock and audio works perfect... there is an option in dock settings to route the audio through the USB...

Interesting - I need to find this. I thought this wouldn't work until Jelly Bean. Does your car have steering wheel volume/track control and does this work in conjunction with the USB connection?

that would be sweet
Settings---->Dock---->Audio output mode
Make sure it is checked for audio through the Infuse dock.
the_buzz_man
yeah I switched it and still doesn't work. I'm guessing it's not using all the pins on the Dock that the MHL uses.
Headunit > MHL > s3 works
Headunit > MHL > 4G infuse car dock > phone /w enabled dock speaker setting or not, doesn't work
this is now just a "holder" for my phone. I guess what people meant when they said it worked on the phone is that without MHL and the 3.5mm audio jack works. Apparently I need lower end equipment for this to be compatible.

I had the same experience when I tested last night, but I wasn't sure if the issue was with the Neo system where the USB is connected or not. I'm guessing based on your feedback that the dock is the issue.
sublimejosh - just to be clear, when you mentioned the Infuse dock's USB audio out functionality you didn't specifically mention that you were using this. Are you? If so, what system/device do you have the other end of the USB cable connected to?
Unless Im missing something, is there not a way to plug the S3 into the USB port on the radio and charge it and play music right through the USB like an iphone? When I had my iphone I could just plug it right into my stereo and it would charge and play music. When I tried the AUX on the iphone it did not sound half as good as when using USB directly, so I assume the S3 is the same and want to use the USB if at all possible in a dock would be great. Of all the things they claim Samsung "copied" the iphone on, this is the one they should have. Its the only thing I miss or like better about the iphone than the S3 so far...
At the moment my plan B is to get a dock to charge it and then have to get something like a Samsung HS3000 as well, but even with Apt-x I cant see this being as clear and loud as using the USB
This forum moves WAYYY too fast...
Android will have this in Jelly Bean (4.1)... Android Open Accessory Protocol 2.0 supports audio out.
Alternatively, there is a specific Galaxy S3 feature: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754102 that works in car mode...
The OEM Infuse car dock will also do this too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669567
it will probably be possible awhile after jb realese
yup.. the infuse car dock does it

Yeah, I I've been using the infuse dock for the audio out, but at least for me, I get tons of engine noise.
I switched to using tune link over BT and that sounds really good.

Ya the infuse dock doesnt use true usb connection, I dont think its possible to do this at all yet is the issue. I also dont like that I would have to take the case off the phone to use the dock so its looking more like I will have to get a dock that will fit with case on, use regular charger, then just use BT and deal with it...I hope JB will let you use the USB like the iphone at some point.But maybe the new apt-x is better than I know as Ive not used it.
Does anyone use Car Dock and have audio actually going out to car speakers instad of phone speakers?
Which ROM are you using?
I'm on Cyanogenmod nightlies, and it's not working...
Any suggestions?
thanks.:good::good:
I made my own cable with the resister for car dock and it does not work. I changed it to one wich activate desk mode. And it works. On my GS2 GS3 And GS4 With CM mod And all other roms
Hello guys!
I've just bought a Nexus 7 to integrate in my car dashboard. Actually I didnt had so much knowledge about it before I bought it, (I only wanted the best and I hate apple so) but I didnt thought it was junk. And that's the only thing I wanted, a non junk tablet that could play music and works as a navigator without hardware-buttons.
My old stupid Iphone 4s worked perfectly for playing and streaming sound from spotify trough a regular usb cable to my headunit, so I didnt even reflect that googles new flagship wouldnt be able to do this simple task. But it seems like it doesnt work..
I've searched for answeres but the only thing I can find is to buy a usb DAC that converts the digital audio to analog audio but then I lose the whole damn point. I want digital audio in to my headunit. And my stupid old Iphone do it great, why the **** can't google flagship do it? Feels like I have bought a extra thin rock from the stone-age.
Please tell me I'm wrong and this is possible somehow. Otherwise I gotta throw this stupid f***** sh*t tablet in the garbage as fast as ******* possibly..
Sorry for my rage.. I just feel so fooled.. I've just bought a 400$ angry birds game. :silly:
You have a couple of options:
1. Use headphone output jack from your Nexus. Hopefully your car audio headunit has an auxiliary input.
2. Bluetooth! This is what I use in my car. If your car audio headunit has bluetooth built-in, then you don't need any cables at all. Just pair your car audio to your Nexus and start playing music! If your car stereo does not have bluetooth, then you need to purchase a bluetooth car kit. These connect to an auxiliary input on your car stereo (just like #1 above). There are bluetooth kits that also stream through an FM modulator, but that should be used as a last resort as sound quality suffers materially.
I installed an Alpine bluetooth car kit and integrated it with my factory car stereo system in a 2005 Honda Accord. Since I did not get the factory CD Changer option, I had that one input open to use with the Alpine Bluetooth. I'd post a link to my YouTube video showing this, but I'm now allowed to post links yet since I'm new to this forum.
The two options listed above are the only ones I'm aware of. I'd love to hear from others if there are other options. The only drawback to both options is that you use the DAC built in the Nexus, you don't get to pass through to a better quality external DAC. The only way around that is a Slimport adapter which uses HDMI. I don't know of any car audio units that have HDMI inputs.
What you want is achievable. Nexus 7 2012 works best with Timur Kernel however Nexus 7 2013 with an AOSP build or stock with Elemental X kernel can have a USB DAC with an OTG Y cable that will simultaneously charge.
If you have Cyanogenmod you may need glitch kernel which does the same thing.
I have a HiFiMeDIY DAC and OTG Y cable (at home) but no reason I couldn't run the same thing in my car with a car charger.

I use a fiio e7 on USB and it works perfectly on cm or carbon, no extra apps or kernel required. By the way, otg works fine with Franco kernel on either Rom and hotswapping is supported. I have not yet found another rom that supports it, but I have been using just carbon for quite a while now.

Some car head decks support android USB then it would charge and do audio. Just make sure it's android compatible.
Good, then we shall fight in the shade!

Well i can tell u most of those android compatible r meant can be connect n read as a mass storage,but not as ios.
Unless someone can make a custom rom like the one for 2012 model.
Has anyone tried USB audio on 4.4 yet? I recall reading they were making some changes to USB devices (may of just been mounting drives though).

Still no USB-OTG in kitkat

When u guys saying otg works dor aosp or some kernel ,does that mean it works with an otg y cable aswell? Like reading files from flash n keep it charge while with flash drive on?
Sorry for the thread jack op.
U and i r on the same boat,i am doing a car mount too.
I am doing a 4g lte one.
I don't have a car, I have a scooter.
Problem fixed !
So it sounds like if I have the stock rom, with the elemental X, I can do USB audio? Do I need some kind of audio manager to specify where to send the output, or would the USB dac automatically disable the on-board headphone jack?
tried PAC rom 4.3 with elemental X 1.8
no go for the DAC audio.
sound is mute no matter what i do.

I bought the HifiMeDIY DAC and am using stock 4.4.2 w/ Elemental X Kernal. I don't get any sound out of the dac. What did you have to do to enable the USB sound instead of built-in speakers?
The Nexus 7 is way better than you described it.
You have lots of options for car audio, and they all have downsides, but just to name a few:
Bluetooth (if your car has a bluetooth receiver)
Auxiliary input (if your car has one)
Slimport (you'd need an hdmi-audio converter, but it would sound great)
Wi-Fi direct (not very common for cars, though)

Bluetooth (if your car has a bluetooth receiver) - I need the bluethooth to connect to other things, like an odb adapter and so on. Edit: The bluethooth connection doesnt always connect automatic whit the cars headunit either so that's another problem.
Auxiliary input (if your car has one) - The aux output aint that great, not good enough for my 3500$ audio system in my car.
Slimport (you'd need an hdmi-audio converter, but it would sound great) - Yes the problem is that I need to convert the audio to analoge. It needs a converter and it still doesnt give my headunit digital audio.
Wi-Fi direct (not very common for cars, though)- I use wifi to get my cars 4g connection to the Nexus 7
So in my case. This is just a really expensive angry birds game (Without sound)!
I've been trying to save up for a Nexus 5, but life keeps getting in the way. Broken cars, broken TV's, etc. So I finally broke down and bought a GNex for $80 as a stop-gap. A friend of mine from the UK is also sending me his old dock (the good one with the POGO pins and the proper charging/audio ability).
I know that with the stock ROM, you can install the car dock app (http://goo.gl/jrkg3v) and a any car home program, and it will recognize the dock just fine. Does anyone know if this will work in CM11?
Also, how smoothly does GNex handle KitKat in CM11? Any thoughts on pros/cons vs. stock?
