PDA --> Car speakers?

Is that possible to send music to my car audio speakers through an HTC TYTN?
Thanks.

Yes, I use a 1 to 3 USB convertor and then plug a phono to cassette convertor.

yes it is, i done it myself
firstly you need to make one of these
youl need a 3.5mm stereo connector, cut the earphones supplied with your tytn and attach it to the connector

once you done that you need to get a radio transmitter (£15-£30 check ebay) and plug it into your 3.5mm stereo connector

as you can see there are different ways of doing it. You could also use a bluetooth enabled car radio (very cool)

i beleive my ways the cheapest, you can plug in better earphones into the tytn and get better sound aswell

i used to use one of those but stop'd when i got a car stereo which had SDcard input and usb input
was about 75$ so no biggi

my alpine stereo plays mp3 but playing tunes and even running tomtom thru the car speakers is great

can u explain how u did this.. once u cut the usb thing how do u connect it? just chop off a 3.5 thing from another set of ear phones?

have a look part way down this list of Artemis based goodies http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modul...pic&t=48131&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=51 there is an 11 pin mini USB to 3,5MM socket available as an accessory for the HTC devices, much easier than chopping up your headphones for a direct link try http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=6982
While looking for the above link I came accross this though http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=9736 Which looks even more suited to do what you need, having looked again at this last item I cannot believe what you get for less than a tenner, USB audio cable, USB charger cable and an FM transmitter, the whole lot can be used at once so you can charge the PDA and liten to music via FM - great - Mike

Xdaman85 - I've chopped the heads of a set of headphones for an orbit, can you tell me wire goes where in the stereo socket? I know I could buy an adapter but doing it myself is much more fun.
Thanks
Eoin

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284512 contains a wiring diagram of the 11 pin mini USB connector, that might be of some use when doing this - Mike

nope this has nothing to do with it.. because once u chop the wire from the headset the heatset only has 1 wire

Actually it does, because when I strip it back it contains all these wires. What I need to know is what is to be connected up in the stereo line socket and where!!

Perhaps (correct me if not) the iPhone's headset works also with the Universal.
http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2007...ed_iphone_headset/apple_and_rivet_earbuds.jpg

i'm not sure of this information, but i'm exigent and i want find the original sony earphone .... please can you give help???

hi, i am new to the universal world, and since i just received my device yesterday and unfortunately didn't read the ebay description right, i hardly have any original accessories. besides other things i don't have a hands-free. i've had my blueangel for 2 years and had similar issues there, because i wonder, for just listening to music, is the plug's layout the same as in a 2-contact one?
the blueangel's 2.5mm 3contact plug has a different layout, meaning, plugging in a simple 2contact adaptor from 2.5 to 3.5mm doesn't do the trick and you wouldn't be able to listen to music properly since one output channel is actually jammed in the microphone input channel. it is all messed up.
i hadn't had the chance to test it, but:
- does a normal 3.5mm stereo headphone work for listening only?
- do mini-usb-b headsets work on the universal, say... if you took the touch HD's
- do those from newer HTC devices support the extra buttons (PTT, play, skip...)
- does a 3 contact 3.5mm like the one (usually ) shipped with the universal support other button functions besides answering and holding a call, like ending call or voice command...
i would love to have those questions answered and like innuendo1973, i would like to know, what headset, hands-free... would be best for me (till now, still using my sim in the BA, so maybe a simple music headset would be enough, a usb one even better, if that works)
as i may recall, i do have a lot of experience when it comes to the bluangel, but this universal seems so much more complex and so different after all...
(Prepare for a lot of stupid questions when i first start upgrading it )

I will just get a extUSB to 3.5mm adaptor from HTC. Check it out here: http://www.expansys.com.hk/d.aspx?i=179131
The good thing about this is that you can use any headsets to answer calls as well as listen to music, especially listing to the radio.
Or if you want to you can also purchase a multi-function adaptor, which will enable you to listen to music or answer calls why charging the phone. So you can watch movies and not need to worry about running out of battery.
All for less than £25.

Official Samsung/Google Accessories?

Are Samsung/Google going to be releasing official accessories for the GN? If so, anyone got any links to any?

I found this over at htcpedia.
Not sure if it's a rumor or not, but if it's true, I am happy, a car dock and multimedia dock are exactly the accessories I was hoping for.
(Sorry to the mods if linking to htcpedia is against forum rules, if it is, feel free to edit.)

I really want the dock with the pins. That's what I miss most from the Nexus One.
I'm always on-call and it's a hell-of-a-lot easier to pick it up off the dock in the middle of the night to answer a call when it's just resting on pins.

I'm actually after an OEM pouch/case. Always buy OEM as the fit is always perfect, couldn't care less about a dock as my phone is a phone - not a multi-media device
Thanks for the link btw

i want to see the official photos themselves and till then i won't buy any dock.
i'd like to buy the dock we all saw in the keynote, the dock that uses the pogo pins.

Car dock uses the pins, the desk dock uses the usb for the HDMI out both were due over a week ago and are now late.

Careful...... As I posted in the battery thread, the US version of the Galaxy Nexus & the UK version are different with different MODEL numbers. Verizon version is bigger (fatter) and the accessories are NOT interchangeable. Make sure you purchase the accessories for the model # you have.

can i connect MHL cable to the mini-USB in the back of the desktop dock?
when the phone is in the dock, there is a space to connect the mini-USB cable in the phone itself?

Digital Audio Speaker Docks for Jellybean/Galaxy Nexus

Do these exist? I remember reading this article a month or two ago about jelly bean allowing digital audio over USB so there should be full docks now.
Anyone know of some good ones?

Hi kenjiwing, the standard SAMSUNG POGO pin dock for the GNEX,

outputs digital audio via the 3.5mm jack at the rear of the dock.
It output's optical as well as standard analog (non-optical) digital using the appropriate cable.
You of course also get standard line out for hooking up straight to an amp. The socket at the rear is not a headphone jack as so many reviews have called it. And no one to my knowledge has mentioned it can output optical digital.
I'm not sure if this answers your question. At the very least you might be more informed about what this dock can do. Optical digital from your phone? Amazing stuff.
Have fun. Anil

the one the OP is talking about plays audio over USB and can technically be used for any device where as the dock is specific to the nexus

Hi rptw, correct me if I'm wrong but this is the Galaxy Nexus Accessories forum, right? So hence my suggestion was purely for that device.
Perhaps the OP might get a more general answer posting a question in the general ANDROID Q&A forum, probably.
But still, optical digital audio from the dock for my phone. You have to agree, it's pretty incredible.
Have fun. Anil

I have two different USB DAC at home. I verified that Jelly Bean update did not bring USB DAC capability to the Galaxy Nexus yet.

Is it something we could make? Like hack up a usb cable and connect it to a jack.
I saw when they announced this. It's good news it would be great to have universal audio docks.
Also this isn't the first time this has been avalible. My g1 didn't have a 3.5mm jack. You had to buy micro usb headsets and female 3.5mm jacks. They worked on my HTC hero too.

There are these docks
AS111
AS140
AS351
AS851
I know it isn't audio over USB rather over BT and uses USB to charge but still they are pretty good looking docks

That's because it has to be made specifically for are phone.

The kernel could have supported USB DAC to make generic DAC work. Works out of the box with SGS3.

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.
