I have this hooked up to my alpine deck with the ipod adapter cable. It pairs up to my evo and the audio controls on my deck control the music app!
Sprint used to sell this for 10 bucks in store but they can't even order them any more. Mines the same adapter but has a sprint logo on it.

Hmmm I want it so bad to work, odd thing it pairs with no passcode.
but my Sony deck just says no device when on the USB input.
Hopefully this is just a cm6 issue and will be resolved
Awesome. I hate that *EVERYTHING* is "iPod/iPhone" compliant. It's not the only damn device out there, its why I bought the EVO!
I hope they start supporting Android more or make decks that can control via bluetooth or something
I have the Insignia version of this and got it to pair with two Evos no problem. I use it everyday on my Belkin iPod car adapter thingamajig.
It didn't ask for a passcode. It just pairs up as a stereo audio device. Does your iPod adapter supply power? Is there a light on the bluetooth adapter to confirm it?

When did you buy it? Not seeing anything on Best Buy's website about such a product.

I want to say about 1.5 - 2 years ago? I picked it up off of ebay as a refurb. It's been discontinued for a while though, and I haven't seen any for sale...
It's this one though:

There's power, I think i might need the "Sony iPod one wire digital cord" ill have to go to best buy and try one out if they let me
I just reread your post man and tried to gain a better understand. I think I see what your problem is. Correct me if I'm wrong, but what you're saying is you are connecting the FIPO to a USB dock cord to a USB port? The thing is, the FIPO actually converts the bluetooth signal into a straight audio signal. If it is plugged into a USB port, the port can't handle an audio feed, it needs a data feed. When you plugged in your iPod, did the 'do not disconnect' logo pop on it? If so then it is mounted as a disk drive. Since you mentioned a USB port, have tried plugging your EVO into it using the standard cable?
If you want to utilize this iPod adapter, you'll have to connect it to a straight audio input. So you would need something like this:
http://www.cablejive.com/universal-dock-converter
That provides an audio out from the bluetooth adapter (which would go to the stereo input), and the USB cable would be the power source.
I hope I imagined you're setup correctly, if not ignore what I said lol.

you may be right, I have so monkeying around to do. I wanted this for a wireless solution. tomm I am going to see if just plugging a ipod in with tis standard cord works. If not im going to see about the "sony ipod one-wire digital cable"
Just saw this posted on Android Forums, and wanted to share. Looks promising. I just ordered one. Will let you know how it works out.

I got one but sadly does not work with my sony head unit in my car, but it did work with my co workers dock in the office
A little more expensive unit would be the blackberry gateway. Works very well, I have it setup in my car but streaming through pandora/slacker doesn't the greatest with it.
bought one too, friggin sony, thinking about trying a new kenwood deck seeing if that works...
I just bought a Clarion VX709. 7" touchscreen with HSF/A2DP profiles. I should be getting it installed some time this week. Can't wait!

I'm getting one of these and I have a Kenwood deck, I'll let ya know how it goes.
Someone mentioned they had theirs working with their Kenwood. They said returned off something like auto connection or something

i bought the cable to plug into the front USB on kenwoods to the apple 30-pin adapter. I'm going to take it and plug it into the demo unit at Best Buy to make sure it works when it arrives, lol . If that fails, I'll be being getting I think it's a belkin flex dock with aux out, and i'll see if that works.
I am using this in my car with an iSimple AUX/Charge cable and it works GREAT!
I bought two a couple of weeks ago - one for my car, the other for the house. Works great.
So you just plug this into the usb spot on your headunit, pair up for you phone to it and then play music? Sounds too good to be true?
No. You need an iPod cable that accepts audio and will charge the device. Then it will work.

Thats what i meant, muh bad.
Only downside to this is that it won't charge the phone
Bought this a couple years ago back when it was only 10 dollars. Works pretty well. Depending on your headunit or dock, the remote controls to pause/skip tracks also work too.
For those who have it, how do calls turn out? Like if you had this hooked up, streaming music through your headunit..and you get a call, whats it do? If it plays the other person through the speakers, how good is the quality? Does the mic just work off of your phone?
It only supports A2DP so no sound comes through for phone calls. This can only be used to stream music, but the speakerphone works pretty well.

Got ya..ill probably invest in this when i get my new truck, so i can have my ipod hooked up at all times and for those other opportunities where i want to stream music from my/someone's phone.
Yay for usb hubs!
A bit of an old topic, but is this working out for everyone? I might be selling my ipod touch and i need to be able to connect my phone to my cd player, so this is the route i might take.

Forgot to report back with results.
It works great and does what it says. very easy to hook up, but i notice a lack of bass... anyone have a solution for this?
I bought one of these a while ago to use with my old pre. Seemed to work well enough, except that most of the time I actually wanted to listen to my iPod instead of my phone, so I never really used it much. Ended up eventually buying a Sony deck that has full built in bluetooth in addition to an iPod connector, so this little doohickey has just sat in a box for months.
Ooh, I just thought of something! If I combine this thing I never use with this other thing I never use - an iPod FM Transmitter/Remote dongle, I could make myself a A2DP Bluetooth FM Transmitter with remote!
Has anyone here tried to use Bluetooth on their phone to stream music to their car's AUX jack via something like this.

Add in w w w. before amazon. Sorry can't post links yet
Seems like it will do what I want. Just wondering if anyone has tried this with hopefully a cheaper device.
I was wondering a similar thing, as I saw a Belkin adapter which I think is similar at the Apple store: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F8Z492...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1292170918&sr=1-1
Kensington LiquidAUX
I use a bluetooth Kensington LiquidAUX. It works great.
I have 2 blackberry stereo gateways, one in the car and one in the house. It works great. Actually works better than it did with my blackberry for range in the house.
The blackberry gateway looks like a good deal. I think I might give that a go.
Thanks for the replies!

I also use the Kensington LiquidAUX which works for phone calls as wells as music.
Find it here:

Forgot to mention that it has a remote control that you can strap to your steering wheel and change songs or answer calls with.
Yeah it works really good for me!

not a bad idea
I have a Kenwood DNX-9140 head unit in the car which has built-in bluetooth for both phone and audio. I use the audio portion quite a bit. I can stream audio files as well as internet radio that way. Works great.
Sorry I can't help .. I use a 3.5 to cassette adapter

before i got a new head unit, i was using bluetooth to a blackberry stereo gateway to tape adapter. it worked well, especially for what it was.
when it was made obsolete with my new had unit, i tried bringing it inside to hook up a stereo wirelessly. i used a $.01 wall -> usb power adapter that seemed to introduce some significant audio interference...to the point that it was unacceptable. so just be warned that you may want to be sure to have a "clean" mini usb power source.
other than that, i was happy with it.
I use my phone with bluetooth on my pioneer deck(forgot the model number) and it is awesome. But there is a few pros and cons.
With the win amp app I can just hop in my car wait for the phone to connect then press next on my cd deck and music starts to play ... awesome as well as use turn by turn gps while playing music through. Its very hands free but down side is I have had it lagg and it would skip a word in the song but that might be the rom I am using.

Does anyone know of a working solution for a USB to RCA output on the atrix? I have AV inputs in my car and want to, mirror my phone onto my nav screen. Did a sear h and didn't find anything. DINC has a custom cable for this from HTC. THANKS!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
You'd most likely need a digital to analog converter (like those boxes), and you'd need a bunch more since I doubt it has any video out besides the HDMI. Which doesn't do any sort of mirroring without hacks (unless I am not aware?)
That said, I don't think it is possible.
That's pretty much the answer all my searching has led me too as well. Samsung , HTC, and apple all support video out through USB or even audio jack.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Atrix has an hdmi port so there would be no need for video over usb. Analog audio can be transferred over, however.

I have no clue what section this question would belong in. Mods, feel free to move this if there is a better place for it.
I haven't used my iPod since getting my first android, three androids ago. I do however have an iPod dock connected to my AV receiver at home, and a dock connector wired into my car. Has anyone figured out a way to use iPod accessories with their android? Ideally I wish I had the programming knowledge to emulate the iPod and have all the controls functional but that is way beyond what I'm capable of. I was thinking of getting a female dock connector and connecting a micro usb and 3.5mm audio jack so I could both charge and output audio through it. Also, what comes out of the MHL/USB on the Galaxy? Could I get analog audio from it so I would just have one usb cable to connect to charge and listen? Thoughts?
Come on... no one?
It -may- charge w/ the dock to micro usb adapter. That's pretty much it.
You won't get audio out of it, nor data more than likely (even power is up-in-the-air) simply because the system doesn't have the software to work with the connections made available w/ that adapter.
Edit: Also, you probably should've posted this in Q&A.
It would be pretty difficult to do something like that and would probably require building a device that would sit between the iPod dock and the Android phone.
It might be possible to do something like this. As long as your dock uses analog audio instead of usb audio like my car radio uses.

So you are saying you think it's looking to see if an ipod is connected before it looks for the audio coming out of it? I was under the assumption it was always ready for it since I need to first manually switch to the ipod input on the stereo... hmmm...

Nice. That's exactly what I was thinking of doing.
Well that link was encouraging enough that at least someone has gotten this to work. I went ahead and ordered a female dock connector from here http://aloaudio.com/30-female-dock-connector-with-wire-board.html. At worst I'm out $14.35. I'll update the thread with what I find out.
The dock connector arrived today. I haven't messed around with the one in my car but I did test the one on my AV receiver. Things I've learned:
1) If the receiver is on, there is a steady 4.9 volts available to charge my Galaxy.
2) There is some sort of check to see if an ipod is connected before it will switch to listen for audio on the input pins. I can actually hear a click of a relay when I connect my ipod that I do not hear with the wire connected.
3) I placed the ipod in the dock to get it to switch. I then I wired a headphone cable to the audio in pins of the dock. To my surprise I could play music from my Galaxy just fine.
If I could just figure out what it is looking for to know whether or not an ipod is connected, this should work just fine.
I just want to update this thread. I finally got around to messing with this again (yes 4 months later).
I have it working perfectly for audio in my car! As long as pins 1 & 2 are shorted it switches the head unit into iPod mode and audio gets sent to the speakers. Pins 2, 3, 4 are Ground, Right, and Left audio. I would record a video of it working but the only thing I have is my GN and I can't use it to play music and record video.
I gave up on my home theater receiver. There's power there to charge it but I can't figure out how to fool it to listen for the audio.
Y not just buy the ipod to universal Bluetooth adapter? That way the phone doesn't even have to be docked? Sprint sells it
I've been using this to play music through my old ipod fm transmitter, works great.

I may have to buy one of those for my Klipsch iFi speakers. I was thinking about getting the official dock from Expansys, running this audio cable to the iPod input, and adding some other stuff via NFC tag to make the setup sort of like Ford Sync in my car.
[Q]iPAQ bluetooth keyboard working with Galaxy Nexus?
Hi everybody:
I had a iPAQ BT foldable keyboard (SPP, no HID), and I wish it works on my Galaxy Nexus for daily use (when playing games, or typing with Chinese input methods).
I've tried some apps, and keyPro Demo works, but it gave me a new IME which only support English input. I wondered if anybody here give me some help. Thanks all!!
hey guys, I know this thread is a little outdated but there is another option to get audio and charging from the 30-pin apple connection. I personally haven't tried this but it looks like it could work:

I own an Audi Q5 and it can stream music from either iPod, USB or 3.5'' mm jack using a Media Link Cable. It sounds nice, but your device has be locked in the glove box!! So i decided to get this device from amazon - "http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087XSV08/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01". It streams music to your receiver via Bluetooth. I love this solution because i almost always use Google Map for my GPS navigation.
It works great because i have a Bose Sounddock with an iPod jack too.

I'm a little late to this party but I too am looking for a solution to convert my Klipsch iFi into a Bluetooth dock so we can use our Evo LTE's on it. I have a 1st gen iPod Nano on it but 2gb of music (the 4gb one we had died) just isn't getting it done. I also want the ability to run internet radio stations and playlists and what not. I bought about the cheapest iPod Bluetooth adapter available on eBay and was disappointed that it did not work. The LED on top wouldn't even light up to indicate it was getting power. They seller sent me another one and unfortunately it also does not work. The seller assured me that he tests every single one that is sent (uh huh, I believe you) so it would appear as though this particular adapter will not work. As soon as I can get a refund I will start going up the list as far as price goes. Just wonder if you were ever able to find a solution for your iFi to save me the effort of order several different adapters until I find one that works. I don't see why this one didn't work as the iFi should work just like every other iPod dock on the market as far as how it interfaces with the iPod/adapter.

This adapter you linked to looks exactly like the adapter I got from eBay but I only paid $15.99 w/free shipping. If anyone else is interested in trying out one of these types of adapters I would check eBay first. While mine didn't work for my iFi specifically the seller has good feedback so I would imagine it works for most. My issue is probably Klipsch iFi specific. I plan to order a different version from another seller for a few bucks more and can report back my findings if it works or not as another option but I wouldn't spend $40 for what looks exactly like what I paid $16 shipped for.
