Multi adapter for T959

Is there something available that connects to usb port and has analog audio out and usb port to connect charger? I want to use only one plug in my car for charging and listening to music from my cell.

Why would you need an adapter when there is a perfectly good headphone port right next to the microUSB port?

So I don't have to connect 2 cables.

Can we read for 2011? This is an observation not an attack. It's post like this which serve no purpose. He clearly said he just wants to use one wire. Let's all be thankful in this new year for unofficial froyo and gb which better our phones and while we are at it let's better ourselves. Happy New Year!

You would still have to connect two cables to the adapter in question. Two cables going into an adapter in your phone doesn't look any neater than them going into their respective ports. If you need them at hand, a twist tie near the ends would keep them together.
Unless you have a newer car radio, and keep all your music on your sd card, you could just plug into the usb, play your music through the radio interface and charge at the same time.

Using Bluetooth connection to the sound system in my car for listening the music and hands free talking, and simple USB car charger. So, i have 1 cable for everything.

What Bluetooth adapter are you using. I may go this route.

I love my Jabra Cruiser!!!
Do a google search (XDA won't let me post links yet) and you can find this for less than $50 delivered. I paid $99.00 for mine, but have no regrets.
All of the phones audio are relayed to an FM station on the car stereo (never been a fan of FM transmitters, but this one rocks). I mostly listen to tech podcast, and pandora going down the road.

Weird sound when plugged in and listening through AUX

I was using pandora and google music last night in my car through the aux cable going into my pioneer car deck and it sounded great, even though i had a aux splitter going to my ipod and one going to the galaxy nexus.. but as soon as i plugged in my phone to my new Motorola P513 car charger (rated at 950a), a low but noticeable sound came through my speakers .. is this happening to anyone else? do you think this problem will be fixed when i buy the car dock with the 3 pins? thank you

it will be interference from the power circuit. It may improve with the proper 3 pin system but no most micro USB chargers have given me similar problems on multiple devices.

ok thanks, could this weird sound be a warning that the car charger is damaging my device at all?

No problems here. I have the at&t car charger. Possibility charger could be causing problems. Test on another phone to find out.

It's not damaging anything, it is normal to have noise from the cars electric system when listening on mp3's and charging at the same time.

As someone else said it isn't a problem it is just interference from the cars electrical system.

yeah i tried 2 chargers and 2 phones and both had problems, very very minimal on my Nexus One compared to my Galaxy Nexus tho but as soon as i unplugged the problems gone
another phone charger question though.. will my 950mA car charger cause problems for my battery chargering accessory that says DC 5.0V 1A, DC 5.0V 500mA. or does that not matter?

Same here... but,
You might notice, I sure did, that when the GPS is being used it causes it or makes it worse. If it is running (GPS) it will make noise and if it is the active screen/program, it is at its worst.
Definitely need a solution for this... mine is really bad and makes it unusable.

play music in car

What's the best/optimal way to listen to music in car?
I used those tape cassette things from Griffin, they're good but they break/wear out easily.
I don;t have AUX in the car. Any suggestions?

I'm not going to help much - I have one of those cassette thingies. I have used it for many years now, and it has never broken or failed. I use it for about an hour every workday, and on long trips, some of over 9 hours.
Another way I found and used for a while (no idea where it is now) was an FM transmitter. You plug into a 3.5 mm socket, and it transmits on a selected FM signal. You then just tune your radio to that frequency. I found a bit of interference, so I went back to the cassette. That also does not require batteries or cable (except audio).
When I abandon my current 13-year-old Volvo, I may try and get a car with a BT music receptor for the stereo. More likely I'll settle for one with Aux in.

I have an Aux input and a USB input but Im playing music through the bluetooth link. Ive given my GPS away and just use my note now with the google nav.

I bought jabra cruiser (Bluetooth hands free with FM transmitter ) and I have it in my car .
Once I am in I switch it on and it pairs to my note and transmits through FM.
It is a very good and handy accessory for those who doesn't have aux in nor Bluetooth stereo systems.it even have music control buttons which work perfectly well with my note.battery life is amazing too (lasts around a week with an average of 1hour playback, it can auto switch off after a few moments of inactivity so ubwont have to worry shutting it down ecevrytime )
I can't recommend it enough bcos of its many other features...
Hope this helps

Pioneers only support pandora on ios devices. At least my unit does. You can ofcourse stream whatever you want via a2dp bluetooth connection. Regardless the app you use to reproduce audio.

Quick question to add to this, I am looking at getting a new car and chances are it will have aux-in, usb and bluetooth connections.
I know the aux-in will just plug straight into my Samsung dock, but what about the usb/bluetooth.
Will I be able to control the phone music from the stereo with these, or will the usb connection even work?
That Appradio2 looks smart, hope it comes to the UK.

Get a pioneer car stereo with aux-in. I just got their cheapest model with aux for about $70... Great sound, it has built-in 4x50watt mosfet amplifier and also line out if you want to upgrade using your own amplifier.

all new pioneer units can stream whatever music app from android as long as the device supports a2dp.
When you see the Pandora logo on pioneer devices however, it means that this pioneer device can control pandora (next, previous, radio selection etc) on iOS. that's all i meant.
Just don't expect the head unit to control your pandora app on android.

The answer is probably yes for the Bluetooth, probably no (in my limited experience) for the USB.
Bluetooth does remote control through the AVRCP profile which works with the Note. As long as your stereo does AVRCP right, the note should play along.
USB is hit and miss. Most of those systems either expect an ipod attached or a simple mass storage device.

I didn't want to play around with installing a new stereo as it was a but complicated in my car. Went with the Parrot MKI9100:
www.parrot.com/uk/products/hands-free-car-kits
It's basically it's own separate amp rigged through existing setup. Sound quality is fairly good, it does have an output if you're using a power amp.
It's got full a2dp, syncs contacts to use it's own voice recognition which is much more accurate than built in Android. Voice quality is great to hear other person, not so great for other person to hear you. Big bonus is that it also has connectors for latest gen apple devices, USB, and 3.5 audio so pretty good options. Other bonus is it's well supported with firmware updates, had 2 since I've had it which have improved device compatibility and voice quality.
Installed it myself, was pretty easy once I'd looked at the wiring diagrams.
For the price though, I would probably have bought a high end double height new stereo as they have all this built in.... however, I'm a slave to impulse buys

Yeah i was a bit confused how it would recognise all the music in the 32gb of data on the phone over usb.
Probably won't bother me in the end, will normally have it in the dock to control it on long journeys anyway. As long as the music plays through usb I don't care.
If I plug it in USB how will the phone know to send the music via that rather than its own speakers like it would do with the aux-in??

If you play through Aux out:
Galaxy note reads a file on your SD (or internal memory) and the CPU feeds it to your audio chip that converts the digital file into analog voltages that go out your headphone jack and into your stereo. The quality is limited by the encoding of the file and the quality of the Note's audio chip.
If you play through A2DP:
Same as above but the CPU feeds the file to your bluetooth chip. The quality is limited by the bit rate and encoding of the A2dP protocol.
If you connect via USB to your stereo:
Your card (or internal memory) is read by the stereo, not the note. The stereo converts the file into audio output. Quality is limited by the file encoding and the quality of the stereo's sound chip (which is probably better than the note).
Make sense?

Sounds good to me. I just hope that the usb cable works with my car dock (official samsung one)
Ideally I would be able to stick a usb cable from the dock to the car and it would charge and play music, instead of me having the usb port taken up by the charger and having to use the aux-in port.
If that makes sense...

Probably will work and I am interested in your results. One minor issue is that your stereo probably will only supply a small charging current to the phone so it won't charge as fast.
You might have to put your phone in mass storage mode but maybe not. Let us know if it works.

My note does not play music via bluetooth. Car is opel insignia if it matters... Any ideas how to connect? Accept of course to turn the car is on .

I have been using a Jabra Cruiser2 with all of my cellular phones and highly recommend it. The sound quality over bluetooth+FM is, somehow, is better than what I get when I plug the phone into my vehicle's aux input.

i just tested a2dp in my MVH-8300BT pioneer and turns out that the new pioneer units do not support BT music streaming and require a bluetooth module (sold for ~150$). Aux cable for me

Any of these around?

I've been looking for a dock that is compatible with our phone, that has a speaker so I can use it to play music. Is there anyone out there with knowledge of any, or is it better just to get a blue tooth one?

I too was looking for one, thank you for posting this, I was just about to come on here and post the same question =)

If you're looking for one that doesn't use an aux input jack, i'd go for the philips with bluetooth or there's a gear4 android dock coming out soon that can use the usb port for audio. I have the iHome and it uses an aux input, but the music shuts off on me after 3 minutes when i turn off the screen. So, i stopped using the dock and just plugged my phone in with a regular wall charger and just played music through the speaker. I suppose the aux input would be alright if it wasn't used for playing music as you sleep though

I myself am looking to use it for when I'm just in the mood to listen to music louder then what the speaker of the phone itself can do. For the car I have a different radio which has an aux in so I just use a cable and listen to the music on my phone through the car speakers.

Google Qi charger car mount

Has anyone come up with a good way to mount the google wireless charger in the car? If you have post a picture and give me some ideas.
Also my car is old and only has a line in are there any good bluetooth audio interfaces I could use? It would be great to just stick the phone to the charger and not need to plug in anything.

You could try sugru....
There's a qi charger called Airdock that was a successful kick starter campain I own one and love it

I was thinking a mounting arm of some kind like the air dock uses. I saw the air dock and it's good to hear it works well. If I can't figure out something with this maybe I will get the air dock.
