Car dock phone audio - Galaxy S II Accessories

Hey guys, I've searched extensively for this but I really need a mod/app/kernel / rom that will allow phone call audio out on the original samsung car dock. Music works fine and it's loud and clear on car stereo but phone calls just get routed to phones own loudspeaker.
The Dock plugs into phone via micro usb then you plug in a 3.5mm headphone jack and separate charging cable into the dock itself
Any help would be really appreciated!

A mechanical alternative might be to get an audio jack splitter and a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, then plug that into the top of the phone and the other end into the splitter, which then goes into the dock with the one spare female jack being for a cable to the car audio input. No clue if that will work though, but in theory...

That's a good idea but liked the fact the dock is pretty hassle free. Just pop the phone in and everything is connected. Anyone have any other solutions or links to custom ROMs that have sorted this issue?

An audio splitter splits the audio, it does not combine it. What you want is a mixer, which is a different product (and usually much more expensive). A mixer is designed to attenuate the signal from the two inputs so that the combined output doesn't overload the speakers.
So in theory, it would not work. But in practice you might be able to get away with it as long as you don't try to use both phone outputs at the same time. But if you care about the speakers on your car, I wouldn't risk it.
To the OP, I think the phone will send both music and calls over Bluetooth, so you might look into a Bluetooth adapter for your car as a possible solution. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Britelink-Bluetooth-Audio-Receiver-Portable/dp/B0059M4G9K

Thanks for the advice!

I know what you mean, but I don't think adding dual inputs to the line-in would in any way affect the actual speakers. I've used this method on various gear before and the result varies. Sometimes they mix fine, sometimes one signals essentially mutes the other.
A simple solution guaranteed to work however is to make a splitter that has a switch. More cumbersome, but it would allow you to manually switch from one input to the other when a call comes in.

surely it would be a quick coding hack to a ROM which would allow phone audio to be routed through the dock, after all that is what happens to music and GPS instructions... so why not phone audio!?

I suggest emailing the dev and asking which ones

I'm using CheckROM and I tried to use the Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector but it was unsuccessful. Maybe with samsung stock ROM?! Have anyone tried this!?

i read someone had luck on resurrection ics rom...but not the last release...

maybe you'd be interested on this thread....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531483

Try westcrip 8.6 ics resurrection ROM.
Works for me with phone and music through car speakers.
Please report back your findings (I am wondering if there is something else to this)
Note: I am sure it has to do with the kernel used.
Thx

I tried dock sound with GB 2.3.6 and works fine.
I think there's no suport for this dock with CM(7 or 9)

Mic/speaker adapter for Exec/Jasjar headphone socket needed

Until I get a proper car kit I'm trying to arrange a microphone/speaker system in my car for my Exec.
The Exec's 3.5mm headphone socket has all the connections I need to get audio out (to my car head unit) and receive a microphone feed in. The supplied Exec headset has a standard four-band 3.5mm jack plug.
Has anybody found a splitter with a 4-band jack plug that provides a stereo 3.5mm socket (audio out) plus a mono 3.5mm socket (mic in) that will connect to the Exec and give me the connectivity I seek?
Since the headphone socket is in parallel to the USB socket and the antenna extension sockets along the back of the Exec, I'm hoping that someone somewhere is making a car cradle with all these connections built in... Slide the Exec into the holder in laptop mode and instantly get power, audio out, audio in, antenna and GPS connectivity in one simple cradle.
Well... I can dream... :roll:

No - no luck yet, but then I've done bugger all about finding one. I'm pretty sure it's not available on the High Street in the UK.
I'm also not in a hurry until I know which car kit I'll be using and whether it's got a headphone/mic connection.
Let me know if you have any luck though.
I'd like to find an adapter that allows me to run audio out to my car speakers but NOT disable the microphone on the JasJar. When I plug in a regular 3.5mm audio cable it disables the JasJar microphone. Does this type of cable exist?
If not, what hands-free microphone solutions are people using with the type of adapter shown above?

I'm looking for the same solution. It seems odd that a regular 3.5mm cable disables the mic - surely only a 3.5mm cable with mic input should do that?
I never know this, I always think the designer of the Uni should be smart enough to design it in such a way so that even though we use a normal headphone, the internal mic still works.
My old XDA does that exactly though it has 2.5mm headphone port. Whenever I use a normal plug (not the custom one), the mic is still working.

I've found another site that offers audio adapters including the one above (in fact I think this is probably where the MDA Pro site gets their adapters from):
http://pc-mobile.net/audioadapter.htm
I emailed them about the adapters and whether any of them would keep the internal mic enabled on an XDA Exec, however they have not tested any of them with any HTC Universal yet.
If anyone's tried any of these, please let us know.

Convert 8 pin phone cable to mini-usb

Hello,
I have been searching everywhere on the internet, but I haven't found any good sources of information that can help me convert a 8 wire phone cable to 4 wire min-usb.
In my car I have a Bosch HA G2 Cartel phone, and it' very old. It was connected to the audio system of my car using the folowing wire :
www.sodevrom.net/wire.jpg
Now, I want to convert the 8 wire to a mini usb , so I can connect my HTC phone and listen music directly from the phone.
I found the color scheme of the wires for the mini-usb here:
http://pinouts.ru/Slots/USB_pinout.shtml
Unfortunatly I don't know how to connet the 8 wires so I can make it in 4 wires (for the mini-usb).
I would appreciate a lot if someone could help me.
Thank you
not sure about what the 8pin include but it it's not usb signals then you cant
usb is both an electrical and digital protocol it's serial and 5volts signals
if a device is not made 100% to work with usb it will never work
HHmmm,
I have an audio cassette that has a normal audio jack. I bought an adaptor that switches from audio jack to mini-usb and it worked.
Why woulden't this work ? The mini-usb will send audio to the speakers. It must work, but I need a color scheme for the above cable, or some other methods to do what I need.
I don't want to re-cable my entire car just becouse I can't modify a cable
no htc device ever had miniUSB
no miniUSb device ever carried analog audio
htc devices use extUSB which is miniUSB with extre connectors which carry normal analog
signals like one find in 3.5mm minijack connectors
if you get a extusb connector which got a mini jack 3.5mm in the other end you can
connect any audio souse to that and it will play like a htc headset
but it have nothing to do with usb
I appologise here,
You are correct . Let me explain better.
I have an adapter that connects to my HTC phone and sends out 3 outputs :
-mini-usb
-the other usb you sayed about
-normal audio jack .
I need to connect 1 of those 3 outputs with the car cable (I sowed you in the PIC).
Here is a detailed pic
www.sodevrom.net/ineed.jpg
Thanx
that pic made me actually "lol" i like how it has random pictures to generalize what you are describing
Why do you want it to go through the Phone cord? why not directly into 3.5mm and into your car deck which then feeds it to the speakers?
That would be perfect, I thought that it's easyer to make it go through the cord.
Can you tell me a good solution on how to connect the phone directly ? Should I take out my cassette player (yea, it's old) and get the wires of the speakers ?
And also the cable that connects to my phone has 4 wires :
white, green, red, black.
Should I connect all this 4 wires or only 2 ? And if only 2 , wich ones
Thanx
2 wires are used for audio and one for ground. im not sure what the forth wire is.
I would not suggest directly connecting to your speaker wires, you wouldnt have an amplifier to boost the sound and it would come in very quiet
Hmmm... Than where should I connect it than ?
Sorry for all the questions, and thak you for the help.
Also, I think that the wires I have to connect are White and Green, right ?

HTC uses extUSB, which is not defined on that link of yours
this is the pinout of extUSB
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/09/10/htc_hermes_usb_connector_pin_config
I understand this, but I want to know where to connect the right wires to the car.
I have a cassette player in my car, and I am sure it's possible to open the player and connect the htc wires.
it is possible to by a casset with a wire on the end of it to connect to something such as a cd player or mp3 player....

you could connect this to your extusb to headphone jack. this would allow for you to play your sound through the car AND it to be amplified through the "radio" on the car....
is this what you are asking for or are you wanting a mic also?
If you are wanting a mic you are going to have to go blue tooth.
Edit: one more thing..... if you go messing with the wires of this you can mess up the computer in your car because of security precautions of manufactures.... so if your car is newer, be careful and check things out before you go splicing things

Is it possible to use a headset and phone's mic for talking on phone?

Hi,
I used to use a Nokia 5310. With it, I could take a call by pressing any button, listenlng via headset and talking to phone's mic, while I was listening to music. Once I hang up the call, the music resumes. All this was done with 5310 phone and a normal 3.5mm headset (without any mic in its line).
Now with SSGS, when I was listening to music via a headset and taking a call with the headset plugged in, voice on the line wouldn't come through the headset. Instead, I had to remove the earpiece and talk to the phone as if the headset wasn't there.
It seems good prople here are able to play with alsa, and I think audio redirecting might be possible.
Could someone point me to the right direction?

Haven't got this phone yet but are you saying when the wired headset is plugged into the Galaxy S phone you cannot take a call through the headset?
I currently use a Nokia with a headset same as PhoenixFx pic, I listen to music > call comes in > hit inline remote and take call > finish call by hitting inline remote > goes back to music.....
Don't tell me this cant be done????

This is true, and I cannot begin to tell you how pissed I was to discover my Skullcandy headset neither works as headphones or as a headset. IIRC one of the speaker pins and the mic pin are the other way round on the SGS so its not compatible with normal 3-pole 3.5 jacks.
Instead of getting new headphones, I'm going to run with a Jabra BT stereo thing that lets you plug your own headset in. I love my earbuds, and I'm damned if samsung is going to stop me using them, particularly when they don't even have a non-stock set of headphones on sale themselves.
I doubt that this is the cause of the headphones/phonecall thing tho. I guess they just didn't even think of it when they were coding. I don't see why this is impossible, and especially with stuff like Cyanogen just over the horizon, could see it soon.

You can use one of the Nokia hands free adapters like I do (if you want a cheaper solution then get a 3rd party Nokia compatible one from eBay), however you won't be able to plugin your own mic, but at least the in line mic and your own headphones will work. Built in mic of the Nokia HS-45 is pretty sensitive and can be used even from a distance (especially handy inside a car)
I have no idea why Samsung didn't give the option of using the built in mic of the phone with a headset, or at least provide their bundled headset with a detachable earphone cable like Nokia does.
@Lostalone:
I Just managed to buy a samsung jack adaptor today. Samsung does sell one here in singapore. You can plug any third party headphones with the mic adapter. Works like a charm.

My Captivate worked fine but using the same headset on my Bell Vibrant does not work on calls. Where can I find said adaptor or is there a specific headset for the Bell Vibrant/Galaxy S international that works?
It should not be hard if we can see/edit the source of the phone app and recompile it.
I will be looking for the source and how to recompile.
I am aware that using a nokia adapter solved the problem. I am using one myself. Though, There are still Times when such adapter is not suitable, such as jogging.

microUSB to audio ? (+ power source?)

Hello friends, I was a previous owner of the Galaxy S1 which had an incredible placement of the 3.5mm and the power connection
Basically when I use my phone on the car, I used to connect both cables on the same side of the phone and I would get audio on my stereo system while charging the phone (I used a normal dock to hold my phone)
But now with the GS2 I have a huge problem. The Micro-USB connection is at the bottom and the 3.5mm is at the top... This creates a huge problem for me at my car so...
I'm looking for a Micro-USB adapter that gives me both audio and another microUSB slot (So I can power my phone)
Does such thing exist or is it only possible to have one of them? Not both?
I also thought about buying the Desk dock and finding a place to fit it to my car, but that's very troublesome because the official GalaxyS2 dock is expensive and huge...
Just thought about this. Would a Micro-USB splitter work ? On the split connections I would connect the power and the Micro-USB to 3.5mm adapter
I also found this from Palm

Destroys some of the aesthetic of the car. I have a MINI Cooper and the holder I used was on the cupholder down by the Gear knob. All the cables were hidden and right by hand.
I'll try the Car dock since it has both charging and audio sources... But I think the cheaper solution would be the mini USB splitter.
I'll try both.
I'm interested in this too!
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.
Voila, ALexander
This is also interesting to me.
I currently have a HTC Desire HD, and it does'nt send audio out via microUSB, so in the car I have a passive holder and connect a 3.5mm and a microUSB to charge and play music at the same time.
Anyway, I'm soon getting a Galaxy S II from work, and was wondering about the audio out and charging.
My car has an USB input, does the SGS both charge and output audio at the same time via the microUSB port? (My old Desire did )
If you feel like soldering:

The official car dock has a screw connection for the cradle to attach to the suction mount so you could take it off.
IMO it is a great piece of kit and holds the phone securely even with the extended battery.
I bought the original samsung car dock but I'm having some issues:
- If I plug the USB directly to the car stereo USB port, the USB is not mounted.
- If I receive a call, the audio do not output from dock audio-out. If i plug the audio cable to the cell audio out, I can hear the call from car speakers, but not if plugged directly to car dock audio-out. Btw, if no audio cable is plugged, I can hear the call from SGS2 internal speakers.
Does anyone can help me?
1. i think the micro usb port is only for charge, not data...
2. this is the normal behavior of this car kit....ask to samsung why didn't make audio calls going out through usb connector. As this is about software maybe can be forced in some way by a modded kernel, but i couldn't find anything around...
Phone calls work through my car - via the micro usb.
It depends on the kernel you are using.
I use westcrip 8.6 ics rom - everything works fine.
I'm using CheckROM... it even if I use a specific APK I was unable to reproduce the sound through the dock audio-out.
Anyway, I can't belive that USB plug cannot mount. If I use a normal cable I'm able to mount, but with the dock I can't.

Help: car aux cable

My sgs3 is only 2 days old. I'm on the stock Rom. Not rooted.
When I plug my Mytouch 4g slide into my 3.5 mm audio cable, it assumes I am plugged into headphones and starts playing music through my car. (The headphone symbol shows up on the status bar.)
With my gs3. I plug the phone into my car and it continues playing music through my phone speaker and ignores the fact that I have a 3.5mm cable plugged in.(no symbol in status bar.)
Headphones work fine, however playing music through my car does not. What is the fix for this? New cable?

do you have any kind of case on the sgs3? I noticed that some cases don't let you plug in the aux cables all the way and it doesn't get a good connection. make sure your aux cable is plugged in all the way. if that doesn't work try another cable to see if that's the issue.

Yea, I had this same problem. My case was preventing the cable from making a good connection. Took case off and works but now I hear music thru the left speaker. Anyone having this problem??? I tried a different AUX cable and I still have the problem. I wonder if there's a phone setting I need to change? Anyone please???
p.s. CD's and radio audio is thru both speakers but not phone.
deleted
I have a case but the aux cable I use is thin and goes all the way in. I am starting to think that the sgs 3 only likes the triple stripe plugs.(the ones on headphones that include a Mic on the wire). I'm going to look for a 6 foot male/male triple stripe 3.5 mm cable at fry's.

I have a case but the aux cable I use is thin and goes all the way in. I am starting to think that the sgs 3 only likes the triple stripe plugs.(the ones on headphones that include a Mic on the wire). I'm going to look for a 6 foot male/male triple stripe 3.5 mm cable at fry's.

Get Bluetooth my friend go wireless and you won't regret it, the hs3000 headset from Samsung is a great buy. In reference to you issue try another cable usually its the cable I have some cheap cables and a nice monster studio quality cord all work fine.

I have no problems with my regular 3.5mm headphone jack in my stereo, but I do agree that it is kind of touchy, especially with my case on. For a work around, I put my music on my SD card, and plug the usb into my phone, mount it as UMS with SGS3 EASY UMS, and Voila! Music on my stereo and control of the music through my car stereo vs the phone.
I got a new cable and having the same problems. Headphones still have no issue but I tested my phone connected to my ihome via audio cable and I'm having a funny issue where between songs if I press next, the speaker sounds like there's nothing plugged in. (Audio feedback) but then it stops when the new song plays.
Also... in my car I was able to play music if I plug the cable into my car and press play simultaneously. The 'headphones connected' notification comes up for about 1.5 seconds. If I press play while that notification is there, I can play one song. But then after one song finishes, the same problem happens.
Edit: I cannot produce the headphones connected notification by plugging the cable into my phone, only if the cable is already in my phone and I plug it into my car
I'm beginning to think that my headphone jack is not grounded properly so imma exchange the phone for another one if I test this issue with my friends gs3 and do not have the same problem

My friends sgs3 had some weird background noise in my car but it was working for the most part... it still wasn't perfect which makes me rather unhappy with the phone. Tomorrow I'm going to test my phone on my friends car radio to continue troubleshooting. Maybe I need to replace the audio jack in my bmw x3
