I'm hoping someone more technical than me will be able to help.
I've added an adapter to my car stereo that basically adds an auxiliary input. I plug my Fuze into the auxiliary input using the adapter that came with the Fuze, and listen to mp3's through the car stereo. This works well, but I don't really like having the adapter and cable always hanging from the phone.
I have a wired bluethooth headset that I don't use, similar to this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982140
So it's basically a bluetooth dongle with earbuds and a mic wired to it. I was wondering if I clip off the earbuds, and splice those wires into a cable with a headphone jack, then plug the jack into the auxiliary input, will this work for playing music over bluetooth throught the car stereo?
Yep, this works! But depending on the BT-profile you will get bad audio quality with mono-sound...
I guess you get better sound if using bluetooth-stereo headphones. They should have the A2DP-profile!
Hi everybody,
I'm having problems with my phone and the HDMI connection. It's the sound the one with the problem, this happens when I connect my phone to my monitor which doesn't have speakers. I was hoping to plug the 3.5mm headphone jack from the phone to some external speakers but after the hdmi it's connected, the audio stops paying through the external speakers. I'm assuming that all sound is redirected through the hdmi cable. Is there a way that I can connect my speakers to the phone and use hdmi at the same time?
PS: if anybody has some Bluetooth speakers I would live to heart if you have the same problem, I'm going to buy some Bluetooth speakers real soon
i guess not... the first time i tried connecting my phone to a samsung bx2250, i was also completely ignorant that the sound on the phone will totally get fed via the hdmi... and so that's where i learned that i needed to plug my speakers to the monitor's audio jack... and if ever you're considering buying something just to make it work, i guess buying a new monitor with hdmi and audio out would be better worth it than just bluetooth speakers...
The problem is that I just bought my new monitor and I'm not going to change it now. I love my monitor.
Finding a monitor with speakers built-in is really rare, they do exist, but again they are rare.
I'm going to buy the bluetooth speakers for not just my phone, also my laptop and all the other stuff I have with bluetooth.
I'm pretty sure there has to be a way of doing this, maybe changing ROMs. Or maybe just installing an app that could do this.
I'm just speculating but I have a feeling that the hdmi sound is controlled over software, and we can still redirect the output through the phone speakers and/or the headphone jack. Too bad I'm not a developer too find out about it.
I just received my Bluetooth receiver and everything is fixed now.
So since there is no sound output through the normal outputs, when the HDMI is connected, the bluetooth does output sound.
So if you only have a monitor, without speakers and you want to still use to connect to your phone. Bluetooth speakers or a receiver will work perfectly!
I'm looking to buy a new car stereo, and I'm basically treating it as an accessory for my Galaxy SIII. I'm open to any brands within a reasonable price range.
What's the best way to listen to the music that is on my Galaxy SIII right now, wirelessly without losing sound quality? I know that I can just use an audio input jack, but is there any other way? I heard that yo lose a lot of audio quality using bluetooh.
I guess what I'm saying, is there any technology like Allshare that lets me stream high quality audio to a car stereo?
I use Bluetooth everyday, with no noticeable loss in sound quality. However, it is dependant on your stereo too. I have a cheap Jenson Double-Din Nav Unit.
Bluetooth is going to be your only wireless method that will not sound like total crap , but USB would be the best quality, but dont think you can do this like an ipod can. Not sure what is needed to make these phones work like that , charge and play music thru the USB direct to stereo is nice. Id like to ditch my ipod and just use my S3, but for now it just works better.
If you connect your S2 using UMS (using "SGS3 Easy UMS" app), you'll be able to listen to music on the S3 with the highest quality possible.
Not all bluetooth-enable car stereos allow for music playback. Mine, for example, only allows for voice calls and voice commands (such as S-Voice).

But does the easy UMS work on the AT&T S3?
Ive used Sony bluetooth stereos in my car for the past 3 years. Ive heard that some other manufacturers either dumb down the feature or make you buy a dongle, but the Sony comes ready to go, no extra dongle needed.
I bought the latest when my older model was stolen. Its the BT-3900u (120 on Amazon) and I honestly cant tell the difference between CD and streaming.
Pros: 3 preamps (front, rear, sub), decent equalizer, galaxy connects instantly w/ no hiccups, change face color, Bluetooth gain control
cons: radio reception is OK (could be my antenna), built in mic causes a lot of background noise for the other person (my car is pretty loud). But it does have an option to route your own wired mic.
I honestly stopped using CD's and the radio now that all my music syncs up instantly.
I would like to know what car stereos would work with the GS3 straight out of the box. I'm sure there are a few that would allow us to plug in via USB and be able to listen to our music while charging the phone.
Can anyone confirm any models that work like this?

Pioneer makes a nice head unit called the appradio that is double din, and has usb and bluetoooth, if you use the usb, and the pioneer app that goes with it, it basicly turns the double din screen into a second touchscreen display for your phone.

My brother has this one and works quite well. It is discontinued at crutchfield, but they have a new model I believe?

Bluetooth is the way to go, excellent quality and you cna amp it with awesome beats or DSP mgr and if you is power amp, then you can equalize it further
In addition, the automation with tasker is awesome ( Sync Bluetooth > Start Player > and then close app when no Bluetooth etc )
I have two decks a pioneer dvd2300 double din with the bluetooth add on its worked the best i can use bluetooth and change songs from the deck directly and even control pandora once installed. Before i use to have a kenwood single din it was hd942u worked through usb it was fast n automatically scanned for music which was awesome.

I bought a Dual from walmart for $90. I just like you didn't want to spend too much money. for the price, not bad at all. bluetooth streaming music and movies is pretty cool. no quality distortions at all. also has a front aux in and USB port.
what about this?

i know it's not a deck. but it's relatively cheap, you can use it in another car, lots of positive reviews on amazon, and i've seen reviews on youtube and the sound came out alright even through a youtube video.
If you car has an Aux-In already, you can use these to add bluetooth functionality for both music streaming & handsfree calling.

would a radio transmitter app work?
i dont think you can connect it to the stereo via USB since the S3 has MTP and not USM unless you root it and use the app as stated a few posts ago. can anyone confirm this?

FM transmitter is one of the worst connection methods you can use. The sound quality is ALWAYS bad.
I absolutely hate aftermarket decks, I use my motorola bluetooth box on long trips, but there is definitely quality loss over the FM transmitter. I have an aux jack for short trips, I really wish I had an aux cord that had buttons like the headphones do, just so I wouldn't have to look at the phone to change songs or anything.
I have a Verizon GS3 and a Galaxy Tab 7.7 - both support apt-X which is the newer, higher quality bluetooth format. If you can find a head unit that supports apt-X (i don't know if any are out, yet), you'd be golden.
As of now, the only way to get apt-X streaming into your car would be to get an adapter like this: Samsung HS3000 and plug it into your auxiliary input of your stereo.
Another thing you can do (and this is actually my setup in my Mazda) is to get a head unit that supports iPod/iPhone audio AND controls w/ a dock connector. There are cheap bluetooth to 30-pin dock connectors (see dealextreme) that will let your bluetooth phone connect to any iPod dock and play the audio wirelessly, but the added advantage is if the head unit has iPod track navigation controls, it can pass those controls to the phone during playback through the bluetooth as well. This will let you control the tracks playing on the phone from the stereo -the double bonus is if your car has integrated steering controls for the head unit. When my phone/tablet is connected and playing audio this way, I can move next/previous tracks from my steering wheel. I'm hoping some manufacturer comes out with a 30-pin bluetooth dock adapter w/ apt-X as well.
Finally, if you choose to connect your phone directly to a aux in but also have it on your charger you're probably going to get a ground loop humming sound. Get one of these: PAC Ground Isolator for 3.5 jacks to get rid of that annoying hum.

Hi guys, I’ve just bought myself a new car with Bluetooth handsfree built in.
Unfortunately this is handsfree only and doesn’t support audio streaming… .
I’m fitting an aftermarket solution to run an aux cable into the head unit but I’d rather have a Bluetooth connection.
So my question is, if I put a Bluetooth audio receiver on the end of the aux cable will I be able to connect my note 2 to both the Honda Bluetooth for calls and the Bluetooth audio receiver (don’t know which one to buy yet, simultaneously?
Would really appreciate your help with this one!

hi there....
i am looking for a new bluetooth to aux adapter to listen music/navigation/google now etc when driving my car.
My car stereo doesn't have built in bluetooth but got an aux plugin and i tried 2-3 different kits that works quite good except for the volume level that is always lower than fm radio (15/20 for radio means 35/40 from aux)
I thought was because of the aux input until plugged my chromecast audio and find out how loud and rich is the sound i can get from the aux plug with a good source.
Unluckily CA is not a solution, so i'd ask if anyone knows a bluetooth to aux adapter that has the same (or near) quality that can experience with a CA.
Also had a chance with usb DAC that is great, but i don't want cables....
