Hi guys,
I'm hoping to use my P3600 as an mp3 player, but what I'm wondering is which miniUSB to 3.5mm adapter is the best?
The one with a lead....

or the one without?....

without.... wow.. i have the one with the lead. It's just like using an MP3 player. Plug and Play.. or listen.. or whatever
where did you find the one without the lead?
I just ordered the one without the lead from ebay, 7 bucks. Anyone try it? does it work alright?

there ya go
just ordered from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RU8YMY
the one on ebay have the key chain hole , which is pretty cool .
Javoedge one is reliable ( well, the brand ) but the shape is kinda bulky. with a lil mod , I can make it stick to a key chain.
In the end, I think both of them are from China anyway. So I properly go for the one on ebay.
Luckily I didn't bought the USB adapter with the lead from the German Amazon recently,
the small USB adapter is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the heads up.
Does the lead-less adapter work with the HTC Touch?
I ordered the one with lead with my HTC touch cruise. It's amazing how someone could come up with such a stupid design. The bend on the connector only has a slight purpose if you use a a belt-clip holster or something. I use the sleeve that came with the phone and have it in my pocket. I obviously got a bad connection just beside the usb plug, due to the ridiculous stress on the cord. The cord is even thinner than usual just to ensure that it goes straight to ****s upon first use. In addition it causes unnecessary strain on the usb-connector in the phone. I see that's also the case with the one without lead.
The reason for me to bump this thread, other than venting my frustration, is to ask if anyone have tried to solder on a mini-jack-plug to the headset that came with your phone? The earplugs are so ****ty than that even my grandmother would complain, and she's deaf. In other words I have no problem in experimenting with them. What I'm worried about is that someone told me that if the head set I'm going to use pulls more power than the old ear plugs, that may cause the usb-connector to malfunction. Or worse, the phone. Now that's something I'm not willing to experiment with, so I'm wondering if this is something that others have tried, or if someone can give me a 110% assurance that my phone won't suffer if I try?

Hello,
of course I can not give you a guarantee your phone won't suffer, but I don't see one reason why it should do: You can buy original HTC adapters for plugging in whatever earphones, so why shouldn't you be able to use the original cord for that purpose? I did this with my original wallaby headphones, only I didn't solder a 3.5mm jack but the "speakers" of other earphones. It worked well. At my Orbit I use the W100 remote together with Sennheiser MX 550 earphones, which sound great!
Matzix
PS: If you need some earphones to experiment, I can give my apple-earphones to you, which came with my 4G-ipod! It's incomprehensible, why an audio device comes with such rubbish...
Can I have your headphones to experiment? I'd love to deprive open those suckers and expermient lol.

Maybe this is what you need...
Anyways I have been making these for awhile now and sold quite a few to people I know, Craigs List and forums. I actually bought quantities and Im starting to Ebay them. I'll also have different brands of buds offered. The current headset is very capable and in fact looks very stylish.
Anyways so yes you can solder other buds to the original headset though you can destroy both if you dont know what are you doing.
Later.
i got one off ebay last week. it works great. cant wait to use it on the airplane and watch some movies!!!

Yeah, I'm thinking that too. If anything is going to suffer it would be the amplifier in the remote. I'm definately going to try now. Not going to mess up my headset in any case, I'll just attach the mini-jack plug.

Hehe, thanks a lot, but I've got more crappy earphones bundled with whatever device than I've got fingers. I just don't get why HTC or whoever could just add that extra 30$ for halfway decent earphones. If anything they just lower the overall impression of their device.

I have no doubt they do, but I think I'll still prefer my bose noise canceling headset over them.
Also the option to switch to ear-buds at times when that's necessary. How about adding one with a mini-jack plug to your inventory? I think that could be a potential winner.

Hehe, I don't have a degree or anything, but I think I can manage to solder left to left and right to right. Not exactly rocket science that. I'll leave enough cord to have a couple of trial and errors even. And as I mentioned above, I won't touch the headset. The mini-jack adapter is messed up anyway (It lasted for a full three hours. )and I really couldn't care less for the bundled ear-buds.
haha i wasnt saying its a rocket science but it could indeed be a pain. i like you plan about leaving the extra cord anyways the Skullcandy headphones i work with are also noice canceling and sound mindblowing when paired with decent player and eqalizer. of course i prefer my Vmodas but this headset gives me the comfort of caring something not that expencive that sounds great and allows me not to carry an arsenal of headphones, headsets, adapters and etc. its nice to be able to pick up the phone while enjoying some music and dont have to disconect everything.
good luck.
does anyone know if this works on a 6700? My headphone jack broke and if this could be an alternative it would be alot cheaper then having the headphone jack repaired
Actually kinda thinking this might work good in my truck. Using the phone to stream some of the hard to find ol' school funk from various websites while being able to keep my phone charged. Since I already have the bluetooth unit in my stereo system (Pioneer AVIC-Z2) it would mute the music and apply the phone call through the truck's stereo system. Which would alleviate having to unplug the adapter and fumble to answer the phone all while adhering to the new California cell phone laws that are coming into effect on July 1st. Has anyone tried this?
re: USB to 3.5mm adapter
Hi guys i got this from ebay, it's not listed as working with Niki /touch plus but it works fine and has a hands free built in too.Will probably work with most 11 pin mini USB ports, MDA etc.... Only £4.90 inc postage, great device!!
Oh i forgot, has the answer/end call button built in too and you can use any 3.5mm headphones so you can dump the rubbish ones that HTC ship.

Hi all,
Im looking for a cable that will let me charge my SGS2 and feed audio to the car stereo. Can I do that? And, if not, are there any line-out cables for the GS2 w/o the charging capability?
Thanks
Marcel
you can always grab the sound from the headphone jack. But it might not be ideal, because the headphone jack is on top.
Would be easier too use bluetooth instead..

I have been interested in doing the same and the only option I found so far is Samsungs Car Dock. It provides both a charging option and audio. I am hoping more options become available within the next few months. One manufacturer to watch is Proclip. They specialize in car mounts and have quite a few with built in dock (for the IPod/iPhone anyway). Plan to email them to see if they have anything in the works.

Yes but the iPhone/i**** pinout is known and provides direct line out where the SGS2 uses some ASIC to process some signal over USB into audio. Not saying Samsung won't make this spec available to Accessory Vendors but what kind of accessory vendor wants to develop their own ASIC? Too much cost involved.
The Samsung desktop dock will also work in the car but would be hard to mount. It has Line Out level for audio, but there is no real advantage to using this over the headphone out unless the quality is better. Can't know for sure I'm fresh out of Oscilloscopes...

No Bluetooth in a old Volvo and I'm looking for a simple yet functional solution. Pairing BT every time and/or having BT on all the time doesn't seem good to me.

To be honest, for me the advantage is one less cable to worry about. Another thing is that my windscreen is under such angle that straight audio jack from top of the device makes it impossible to point the phone in the direction of my face.
Any desktop / car dock owner interested in dissassembling their stuff to see how it works?
I know that with the correct resistor you can get analog line-out from the usb plug. Just not sure if the vcc line charges the phone or provides energy to a accessory then. Either way, I'm starting to think about doing it the DIY way.

The orginal Desktop Dock use data +/- as the audio line. But you need to jump pin 4 with a 365K resitor to activate this mode.
PIN:
1 : VCC
2 : D-: AUDIO LINE OUT L/R
3 : D+: AUDIO LINE OUT R/L
4 : SENSE ( CONNECT WITH SMALL 365K TO GND )
5 : GND

ED: I can't get it from the text, but it seems that it'll charge the phone! thunderbox666, if you try it, please send me a note! Maybe I'll do it as well. The only culprit is that this seems to put the phone in the "home dock" mode...
ED2: ok, got it:
alx37 said:
You need a micro usb connector.
Pin 1 connect to +5V
Pin 2 + 3 connect to audio l + r, Ground to Pin 5
Pin 4 connect to Pin 5 via 620k Ohm Resistor -> this triggers Car dock mode
Pin 5 connect to Ground
Go to Settings/Dock Settings/Audio-Output-mode
Pin 1 is right when the connector is in the SGS II and the screen is visible.

Already working on this bit - only thing I think I still need is the resistor
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO it worked.... Will post pictures shortly
Just have to tidy up my soldering
edit:
(still not the neatest)
So everything works, although I still need to solder in the other speaker wires - But even with left and ground, it still plays in both speakers.
As soon as you plug it in, it goes to Car mode and starts charging
I did have to go into the settings and enable line out before it would play through the USB
But here are the pictures of it as it is....
Edit 2:
In case anyone was wondering, I also tested this with a 360k ohm resistor (couldn't source a 365k one yet) and it launched it into the home dock straight away
Stupid question. But car dock and home dock are the same huh? So the 360k does the same job as the 620k resistor. If so I'm wondering if anything between 360k and 620k all work.
Edit: So after a little searching, yeh amasing huh, they are different dock modes. Cool. I'm aiming for using poweramp, sygic gps and google maps (and probably voice talk which seemed to work using internal mic and car speakers. Guess the second mike stops the feedback loops) so guessing car dock is more suited
So now I'm guessing that the normal desktop dock mode might work better for me seeing you can change the shortcuts and have a shortcut for poweramp and sygic. I believe the car mode uses the samsung audio player and the gps is google maps?
Is the car dock mode fixed or can the shortcuts be customised? I believe car dock mode can automatically turn voice recognition on although this doesn't work well with the Australian accent.

Yeah you cant really customise the car dock one - well at least I havent found a way yet.

Hi guys,
I managed to complete my cable. You can call it a developer preview, cause I didn't have the correct resistor and just to try if it works i joined what I had to create 370k.

I started off with the black part. I bought a Micro USB A to micro USB B cable, hoping that the fourth pin will be connected between the plugs. That is not obvious, since this pin is not used in the USB connection. Unfortunately my cable had only four wires and the shield:
So, I had to open the plug to attach the resistor. As I mentioned, I only had 5x~67k and one 30k resistor, so I connected them and it was close enough for the home dock mode to work:
The white part of the cable comes from my old aftermarket line-out cable for my previous iPhone 3G. I wanted to use it almost without cutting it, but I learned that one of the lines was disconnected, so most of it had to be replaced.
After considerable amount of soldering I plugged in the cable to my stereo and the USB port on my PC and guess what? It worked!
Here are two more shots of the crucial part of the cable. I made the chinch cables detachable just because I had such cables.
I also realized too late that I had no GND for the USB connector, so I made a very lame bridge in the shape of the letter Z. But it works!
What's left to do? Replace the resistor and figure out how to reseal the plug with it inside. Also, seal the soldered part, maybe in duct tape, I'll see.
So I finalised my cable but used a 360k resistor because I liked the desktop dock more due to changing shortcuts... Then found the google car dock apk and that works well and is customisable.
But the biggest downfall is that the voice is not routed through the usb port, only music.... So sorta gets rid of a good function that I expected to use4... hands free calling. It works well if I use the 3.5mm plug with no unwanted feedback using my car stereo and the SGS2's internal mic.
Anyone have any idea whether the audio out through the usb can't do voice calls because of a hardware or software limitation. I'm guessing its software and the limitation has not been cracked yet... Wonder why Samsung haven't allowed voice out through the usb port.
This is awesome! Though I'm having alot of trouble following your pictures, any chance you could post a diagram?

Here is my rough drawing. Someone else might spend more time or convey it easier than I have. The solder pads on my plug were as shown. If you have 3 pads on top and 2 underneath then they will be the same as my drawing.
Note that any micro usb to usb cable will probably only have 4 pins wired up as usb only has 4 pins. This is why you need to strip the micro usb plug cover off to get to the extra pins solder pad.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PIN 1 AS THE +5V FROM YOUR CHARGER AND NOT CONNECTED TO ANOTHER PIN. THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN STUFF YOUR DEVICE.
I have tried to find the link that shows what pad is connected to what pin but can't locate it easily. I did however make sure that pin 1 was the only one with power before plugging it in. All other pins being wrong will just mean it won't work. Here is a link for the pin out fro micro usb http://www.accesscomms.com.au/reference/usb.htm

Thanks for the link. Have you tried it? Personally I'd prefer the wired route but because of the lack of voice calls I may look at this product. Its an option for cars without Bluetooth but have a wired input. Also good for in home use without a physical wire. Although the connection for power will still be needed.
The signal to noise is quite high so the extra hiss shouldn't be too noticeable. But the 70Hz low end frequency limitation is not very good and I'm concerned that on a decent sound system the lows might not be that great. Can you comment?
I recieved my Xtrememac incharge BT for use in the car. It's $80 but found it for $18 from nothingbutsoftware.com, strange I couldn't complete the purchase on my iPad. I'm glad it wouldn't let me cause it was $30 on the iPad but then when I shared the URL to my Nexus the price was $18. I purchased it for $18 and recieved it today. The audio quality is amazing! Even better than using 3.5mm jack from phone to aux in! I am using Volume+ but have the same settings for both wired headset and bt. I couldn't be happier with my purchase so I thought I would share. You just plug into the car charger and 3.5 jack into aux in, pair, and your done. No cables to phone and no call quality is great. The aux in part functions as a mic and button to answer/end calls. And the car charger part has a USB port for charging phone, it comes with an iPhone/iPad charger but you can plug in any USB cable for charge. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope someone else enjoys this as much as me.
Here are some pics. Disregard how messy my car is, I didn't have time to clean, vacuum, armor-all and such. I dont have time for much of anything these days cause I work in a tax office and I'm sure you know what that means this time of year. Hell I shouldn't even have time to occupy these forums but what can I say - my hobby. I took these just now spur of the moment to clear up any confusion. Also I took the picks with my GN, of course.

And just for kicks, here are some NFC tags. The left one toggles BT. The right one toggles from Auto-brightness to Brightness value 0 (completely dim - I hate bright screens). The reason these are not combined into one tag is because at night I dont need to toggle brightness.
About to get this but I'm not seeing the $18 price. Only $ 29.99. Even tried sharing the link

Not sure how I pulled this off.. looked on the iPad and it was $30, couldn't purchase so I used Read It Later to share the link to my Nexus, opened it and it was $18. Surprised the hell out of me too. Maybe it was a glitch!? But I am not going crazy, that is the price I bought it for. Even at $30 its a good purchase and with a retail price of $80 (which is a little ridiculous imo) you cant beat it.
What is the reason for this? At first I thought you plug it into your phone.. but then that made absolutely no sense to me... Do you plug it into your head unit? If I understand correctly, it is for head units that do not have bluetooth?
Wouldn't it be easier / cheaper / better audio quality to just plug Male to Male 3.5mm in?
(I have a pioneer aftermarket head unit with built in bluetooth and have no experience with not having bluetooth.. so my thoughts on the matter are biased).

Hmm... I got impatient and just ordered on amazon for 25 + free shipping. I was just thinking i need something like this (I despise wires) and when I saw your post this morning all I could think was "I need this!!!"
$18-25... not much of a difference. Like you said, much better than the $80 retail.

Basically it's to eliminate wires.
My aux input is in my center console (right next to a power port so this works out nice) and when using 3.5mm it just seems sloppy to me with the wire being pinched in the console lid and such...
Hopefully it sounds as good for me as it does for WiredPirate.

Did you even read the OP? I explained the function - NO WIRES TO PHONE. And I stated that this sounds BETTER than using the 3.5mm cable. Give me a minute and I will take a pic for you.
As far as the Pioneer BT deck I have one as well. Sitting in my closet. I loved it in my Crown Vic but after buying a new off the lot vehicle I couldn't bring myself to tear up the dash, maybe I will in the future, but for now this works great.
Edit: Uploaded some pics for you bud.
Can you link to it on amazon? I cant seem to locate it.

that doesn't make sense to me.
3.5 cable = nexus to car.
Bluetooth = nexus to bluetooth to car... via 3.5 cable.
How could it possibly sound better? the 3.5 cable is still in there plus one extra step
Wiredpirate,
Say you have already set up the BT connection to the phone.
The next time you get in the car, do you have to turn on or press any button to connect or does it automatically search and connect to your phone once you turn on the ignition? TIA

Definitely more expensive though although you can get it for $30 on sale every now and then. It works exactly the same way except it also has a large button that you can put wherever that acts as a pause/play/answer/hangup button and also houses a microphone in it. I have this setup in my Ford Fiesta and love it.
I just use my MW600 in similar fashion but at least I can use it for headphones when I'm away from the car as well like for jogging or listening to music elsewhere.
Pricier of course but a little bit more versatile. Roughly about 46 bucks.

I was looking at that also, but I read from reviews that you have to press a button to make a connection every time it powers on. Is this true? I'm also turned away by that big button so I'd probably tried to hide it from sight.
Another option is the Griffin BlueTrip, but it is also very pricey.

$30 is not bad at all for these types of devices, especially if it has an extra USB port.
Nice. My head unit has BT but not for audio. I wonder if I added this would I still be able ot stream music to the car and then for answering a call, go through my head unit? Anyone have an idea on this?
Here is where mine's going.
Nice and stealth once the lid is down

Sound logic. Regardless, the fact remains that it sounds better/louder. Again I'm using the same setting in Volume plus for both bt and wired.

If you charge your phone while it's plugged in via 3.5mm you can get interference due to the phone being grounded or something something. Someone explained it better in the thread about the pogo pin car dock, as that's why the official car dock for the Galaxy Nexus uses BT audio despite being physically connected.

It depends if your cigarette lighter socket turns off and on with the car. If it does go on and off with the car, it'll just auto search for a phone when the car starts. If it always provides power (like mine), you do have to hit the button just once. I mean it's a quick tap I just do it automatically when starting my car now, not a burden to do at all.

It's actually very simple to explain. Speaker wires and power wires do not play nice together, anytime you have a power wire and speaker wire parallel to each other or crossing paths in certain ways you will get interference. (it must be a nightmare to the techs that set up for concerts and such). I know this because when I was younger I installed quite a few subs in different vehicles. There are ways to run the wires to reduce/eliminate interference. But do note in the picture, the way this is set up, the cable from the USB charger and the cable running to the aux in do not cross paths. I did use the charger last night while listening to music, no interference. Now if you have the cables all loose and tangled or crossing, I imagine you can expect some, sooo DON'T DO THAT. the same can be said about using a 3.5mm cable and a car charger, if the wires cross paths/ tangle/ whatever, you will get interference.

Thank you sir. but in all seriousness I did not expect this to sound as good as it does, much less BETTER than the 3.5mm cable I had previously been using. I guess it's possible this thing has some kind of built in amplification, but I have no idea if it does or not.

I want to make the beast (aka note) the centre of entertainment/info in my car.
The problem: My car has no aux input.
Solution: FM Transmitter.
Now I tried a few cheapo fm transmitters, and they all had horrible sound connection. The transmission was fine but something was wrong. I pretty much gave up on this idea until I tried my brother's fm transmitter. It was crystal, however it had long cables which dangled over the driver -not ideal. Also, his one was from a good company and cost $120 -yikes.
Anyways, just the other day I saw my friends set-up. All he had was this:

}
Which can be bought off ebay for ~$15, or even cheaper from other sources.
It is the perfect companion, since the rigid arm holds the phone just firm enough. It cleanly connects to fm. And charges it simultaneously.
Here's one for example: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FM-Trans...Accessories&hash=item20c69cb619#ht_3654wt_905
After looking for it for many hours, I can't find a suitable one for androids.
For once, I am jelly over Apple's monopoly of its proprietary connector.
Any good solutions you guys know of?
Why would you bother, just buy radio with aux and a stand.

Wow, this was your first post on xda, I'm honored.
The thing is, I'm not planning on keeping this car for too many years... so a new head-unit will be a little pointless and expensive. Another thing, there is a separate display unit which pairs with the headunit...so removing it will stuff that up (which is handy for quick time and temperature).
It plays CD's but I don't have any cd's...they're all digital media.
I know I'm not the only one with an Android phone who has this problem, so a solution is out there.
Anyways, I found these solutions on ebay:
1) Bought, tested, its useless. Cables float everywhere. Costs ~$5.
Picture: http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab314/youkeshu/youkeshu-7/AA404_5-ALL.jpg
2)Then I found this one, costs ~$11, also suffers from the same noise distortion. Again cables galore!
Picture: http://cdn1.sellerimage.com/cdn2/120802/9e/78/f4/fmt-uni023_1_cc.jpg
3) I found this. Its just like the first crappy one. This one I haven't bought and tested, it may actually work well. But again cables galore!
Picture: http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab238/ebay510/home and garden/CBA00031-1.jpg
4) Okay I found this a working solution. The seller contacted me said it doesn't have the noise problem like the other options and backs it up with a full refund. Sad part is it costs ~$45...and what makes it worse is that the cables are still hanging about but at least not as much as the solutions prior to this.
Picture: http://gomadic.us/imgs-prod/fmt/samsung-galaxy-2-car-auto-charger-fm-transmitter.jpg
I finally found a (2yo?) thread in Google where they were discussing the same thing for the original Droid.
Anyways, I found a link to it on Amazon but it was discontinued.
Luckily enough, it was "related" to another product which led me to find this:
http://www.amazon.com/GOgroove-Flex...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1339419456&sr=1-39
Same as the iPhone dock, only costs double the price. Instead of Apple connector, its a microUSB.
edit:
Hold on, found this. Same product (moreless) but $18
http://www.amazon.com/Accessory-Pow...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1339419702&sr=1-19
edit:
Okay now its pouring in, found an even cheaper one ($13) lol.
http://www.amazon.com/GSI-Dock-Moun...-Smartphones/dp/B004006L7W/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_2
Okay, so there was more to this story than I thought. Wondering how I couldn't find any in the sea of thousands of other (mostly iphone) fm transmitters.
Anyways, back on ebay and finally found this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/17083475...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_3398wt_1270
Same as the other ones (~$20) but ships Internationally so anyone can get a hold of it.
It looks to be too small to fit the beast, and the seller hasn't responded back to my message.
But another seller has.
And no, the clamps maximum width is 80mm. We need at least 83mm, or ~90mm (comfortably) to clamp the note. But I have good news from the seller:
"But we will list another item which will fit for your Samsung NOTE,
Please come back to our shop 10 days later,or I can notice you when we list the item."
"Ok,I will let you know when we get new model.
Please don't worry,we have professional Technician?"
I'll keep this thread updated once I get my hands on it.
(ps I broke my windshield mount the other day, so hopefully 2-angry-birds-1-stone)
just to let u know, transmitters/holders that plugs into the cigarette lighter last a week max.
once the rubber that that goes into the cigarette light wears out, its all over, it wont stay up.

Thanks for the input.
I'm going to try anyway and give a review. It shouldn't cost much $15-$30 so the burden wouldn't be great.
And if it does fall apart, I'm planning on modifying it so it becomes a windshield mount.
That way I can have eyes on the road, and glanceable navigation... while having music from car speakers and hands-free phone function. The Ultimate Road Warrior! xD
this is what i would do if i werent to invest in a head unit.
www.firesport.com.au, buy a 2nd hand amp for cheap.
connect the amp to speakers.
connect the note directly to amp via cheapo 3.5mm to aux cable.
sound quality will be 10x better than transmitter lol.
migrate amp to next car

Of course the advantage of the ebay item is that its too easy to setup and can work in literally all cars. And the unit is still purposeful even if the fm isn't transmitting (ie phone holder + charger).
And you will definitely get x10 better sound via a wired solution.
I'm tempted to try both methods, not much to lose.
For now I just have to wait and see the item description when its up and report back.
The problem is the head unit in some cars, such as mine, are built in and cannot actually be changed our it's a big job. I was still using my Nokia N8 for music duties untill last week as it has a transmitter built in, but I've just gotten a Belkin from Amazon and it's superb. Still has to be plugged into the cigarette lighter but I don't mind that.

If you're into a bit of soldering, I have successfully added aux into older cassette deck stereos and my DAB stereo clock radio.
Basically, you open up the head unit/radio, google the chip numbers, find a datasheet. Only one of them will be some kind of mixer/preamp/processing chip. Find the pins that are the input L/R and ground. Then solder a 3.5mm stereo lead in. Close it up, plug in your phone, hey presto, AUX in! And better than any FM transmitter.
On the cassette radio, I just wired in to the cassette audio input and disconnected the tape motors. On my clock radio, I added a 2 pole 2 way switch to toggle between the tuner input and my phone. Later I'll add a bluetooth input to get rid of the slight noise hum when my phone is charging.
I bought one,but broken one.

Which one?
Can you link it for us.
I got a response from another seller, and one from local. They won't be getting it.
Its been 6 days since I received the email from one seller who said they will get NOTE compatible models (hopefully 90mm wide, so NOTE with case can also fit).
So there's another 4 days until he will respond back to me with the link, and then probably a week or two until I can test it.
Getting excited!
I know you said you wouldnt be keeping this car long but imho you would be much better served changing your head unit to one with bluetooth. You can find used ones in great condition shipped on ebay for$100. Installation time is under an hour. Trust me its worth it. My head (eclipse cd5030) automatically connects to my phone as soon as i start the car. No wires, just press play. And also, it has a usb plug for charging it.

That's a good idea.
My options seem to be:
-FM transmitter/dock
-Change head unit for Bluetooth (break the overhead display and car cpu though)
-Change head unit for AUX in (break the overhead display and car cpu though)
-Install a low-powered/cheap amplifier with an AUX in.
Here's the inside of my car (though not so new, heh):
The head unit (ie CD slot and music controls) is located in the middle of the centre-console.
The actual display for it is displayed higher up on the centre-console.
The display is also wired into the car, if the engine runs out of power for a second, it locks and needs the password. Same thing if I jump start someone.
If I can install a new head-unit without stuffing up the relay going between the display and car cpu, I'd be all set... I wished I was more experienced in this field
Anyways, I've already decided on my next car, so I better start saving now:
I may be wrong buddy but i believe that your stock equipment is set up for an optional CD changer from the factory so there will be an option for an auxiliary input..
What you need to do is call an aftermarket car audio supplier and ask about a 3rd party wiring loom, more than likely they will have a plug in solution for it..

I agree with that,
Kangal,
Most of the car stereos have port to get AUX out behind. An audio shop can use this to get a 3.5 mm female port
A new quality brand like pioneer car stereo with aux on the front is about $45 NZ these days. Problem solved. And you never know your stereo may have line in in the back you could use.

I have the same problem as you.
My solution requires the following equipment :
1. Jabra SB600 car hands free
2. Original Samsung car dock for Note.
You basically pair your Note with Jabra via bluetooth and the Jabra transmits the audio via FM to your car radio. Simple, clean, no wire solution. Music and calls play via your car speakers and the Jabra's DSP does a fantastic job to cut out ambient noise in a moving car.
The sound quality is decent. Probably not the very best, but bearable. And more importantly, it gets the task done without any extra wires and stuff. Consider it a trade-off between ripping out / modding your car stereo and making no changes at all.
Though the Jabra's price may be a bit steep, it is a better bet if you consider it against replacing your stereo or spending the time (and taking the risk) on modding it.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I'm assuming that not a whole lot of people here are really into cars. I am really into modding my car and one aspect of that is audio. I love car audio and have a moderately nice system in my car. I can say that if you're looking for a good way to integrate your phone as your main source of media, then perhaps a new head unit would be a great upgrade for both your media and for your car.
Some people may be on a tight budget, and if so then the previously mentioned solutions may be the only options viable to you, but if you are willing to branch out and see what you can do with your ICE (in car entertainment), then you may find something that you might want to invest in.
So what are the options? You can use a wired fm transmitter, and as people have mentioned, you're dealing with wires and such. You also have wireless fm transmitters, which eliminates your wiring, and your results don't stray far from the wired transmitters in terms of sound quality. If you're willing to upgrade your headunit, then you have two options, single dins which is the base tier headunit. It has most, if not all, of the features your stock headunit has, and a few extras. If it is equipped with bluetooth, you can send/make calls from the headunit, but most single dins don't solve your audio needs in this way. What you want to look for is if it equipped with USB, so you can connect your phone via USB and play your music that way. Yes it does involve wiring, but there have been many ways to tie in a nice docking station for your phone to really make it appealing to many users. Double dins are almost always touchscreen type headunits and are a great way to upgrade your system. They have many more features that single dins will not have, such as GPS, movie viewing, etc. These types of headunits will follow single dins in that you will be wiring your phone via USB to source your music. I think there may be some double dins that are capable of bluetooth audio but I am not totally sure as mine does not have that feature as a 2011 model from Alpine.
W W W[dot]thebizzy[dot]com/technical_pages/thebizzy/audio/ipod2.jpg
Here is an example of how many users like to mount their phones/ipods/etc.
I will say that the benefit of a wired connection over a fm transmitted connection is that the sound quality is so much better. Music is much more crisp and clean with none of that distortion. Granted your overall sound quality will be determined by the quality of your speakers, but the differences from a USB connection and an fm transmitted connection are really noticeable.
So think about what your budget is and what you really want in your car audio system/integration. I went with a double din because the features are just spectacular. I do want to note though, that a headunit does not make your car system sound better, you need to upgrade your speakers, amps, subwoofers, etc. The main purpose for a new headunit is features. For me, I went with the double din because of benefits such as GPS, bluetooth (syncs my entire phonebook so I can just search for people whom I need to contact, shows recent call logs, auto answering for incoming calls), better interface when selecting music (it can utilize the entire interface of the ipod giving me access to movies, artists, playlists, genres, etc.), and overall ease of use.
So to conclude I'd recommend you find out what you want, and what your budget is, and start a project because my daily commute is worlds better than what it used to be because I made my upgrade happen. If you have any questions about ICE then feel free to ask.

I also would like to know...
You mean 3.5" audio jack? Yes it was working with myremoconx app and a selfmade jack to IR adapter. But sadly after I updated to cm13 it s no more working,and I don't know why. I can see the led blinking when I try to press a button (using a camera...I can see infrared,I m not a superhuman),but my TV doesn't react as when I had cm12.1. It could be something caused by audio latency? Or something else? I tried many times but can't find an answer. I only know that it was working great,I even build my own ultra small jack to ir adapter ,big no more than 3 mm over the plug ( I used smd ir LEDs) . And one month ago I received from China a device that is made for iPhone and it s small like the one I build but with on and off function,so you can keep it connected every time,led light power is even stronger than my diy project. Now to bypass the problem I ordered from China a zazaremote microusb to ir ,but I don't t know if it could work on nexus 5 (almost sure it will work) ,and sadly it s bigger than the other options...
Are there anyone interested in investigation about the problem

Now, besides the (...) option on the diy, how can you fit so many buttons for so many things on the screen? Or do you only create a power button?

I have it and I wouldn't carry the Nex with the remote attached as you could potentially damage the charging port. The remote itself doesn't fit properly with my spigen case on it, I'm sure the same applies to other cases. Love the diy remote learning feature though.
