USB to 3.5mm Audio Adapter - The good and bad

I bought one of those little adapters on ebay, such as the one you can see here: Link
Couple of things:
- Music - it now sounds brilliant through my personal headphones - the ones that come in the box with the diamond are indeed complete rubbish. But that was fairly obvious anyway. I'm impressed with the quality of the diamond now.
- Taking calls. Now we have a BIG PROBLEM. When a call comes through, the audio is routed through to my headphones as you would expect. But the problem is that the diamond must think there is a microphone attached as well, as noone can hear me speak until I pull the headphones out of the diamond and it's internal mic kicks in!! Then when the call is ended the music starts blasting out of the speaker of the diamond while I'm madly trying to plug the headphones back in, amidst getting all sorts of annoyed looks from people next to me on the tram that WERE sleeping until I woke them up..... Woops
Does anybody know a workaround for this? How can I make the diamond think there is NO microphone plugged in when I'm using the headphones?? Will I have to short some pins on the connector...? Anyone have the pin layout for the 11 pin HTC connector? Or is there an easier way.... Help from the experienced is appreciated. Cheers.

OK so here are the pinouts:

So it would seem that 'disabling' pins 7 and 12 on the adapter might do the trick.... Or maybe they already are disabled on some of the adapters out there..
It's going to be hard to do on such a small thing... Does anyone know a way to trick the OS or disable it in the registry somehow??

I got one of these http://www.amazon.com/Synch-Charge-...r_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1215060921&sr=8-2 from Amazon and it works like a charm. You might want to try this.

Have you try this adpater to listen to radio without the headphone. By plugging in this and set the radio to speaker phone.

what about that ??
you can plug any 3.5 headphones you want, it works for the fm radio, and you have a mic so you can talk when receiving a call without having to do the unplug replug acrobatic move you used to ....

Hm... I plugged in mine (I use the RC e100), and somehow all other headphones (also high quality one) I have are all worse then the one within the box =( very annoying, as the the htc headphones are far to big and ugly =(
Also the whole audio stuff is poor on the diamond - I read s.th. of an audio booster bug, but no way to cure it =(
What have you done to have such a good qualtity?

Thanks for all of your replies.
I ended up going with the RC E100 as you suggested and some other people here seem to think they work well. Well, they definitely do!
I've plugged my Sony's into them and they sound awesome. Really impressed with the audio quality now. Just have to figure out where to hide all the cable!! 2 metres + hiding inside my jacket! Might have to get the scissors and soldering iron out and re-work it...
The only problem is that the supplied driver with the RCE100 does not install on the diamond, or maybe its a problem that I'm using Vista with Windows Mobile Device Centre instead of Windows XP with Activesync. I will try and install the CAB file manually.
The Play/FF/RW on the headset only controls the built-in audio player in TouchFLO 3D, need to figure out how to make it work with Core Player.... And to answer you question Basthet, it sounds much better with Core Player, no audio booster bug, it has built in pre-amp and also equalizer and you can make your music sound very very nice with it. Highly recommended. It does not cure the little skip you hear in audio tracks; it is now clear this is an Operating System/Hardware issue.

I know that acrobatic move that you speak of, and it made me laugh to see that I'm not the only one running into that problem. Happened to me while official exams were being held in the classroom nearby, nearly got me expelled.

Bluetooth Car Kit Compatibility - Phonebook Call? Parrot?

I've had my Touch Diamond for about 2 months now and love it - but it doesn't do phonebook calls in my current Alpine stereo with a bluetooth adapter. I'm not surprised really as it hardly works with any phones!
Anyway - I want a new car stereo, but I want one with Bluetooth built in.
I've been looking at Pioneer and Kenwood double DIN satnav systems, and was trying to decide between a Kenwood DNX-5220 or a Pioneer AVIC-F900BT.
Today I went to Halfords and tried them both out, but the Pioneer one seemed to be a restricted one as I couldn't do ANYTHING with it!
The Kenwood one paired and I could see my recent contacts, but I couldn't sync my phonebook or call from it. I've just looked up their compatiblity list online, and the Touch Diamond with 1.37 Firmware is listed as incompatible - although most other HTC devices ARE compatible.
The Pioneer AVIC-F900BT has a built in Parrot... but I can't find any compatibility list on either Pioneer or Parrot's websites.
Can anyone confirm whether a Parrot kit works with the Diamond and a phonebook call?
I'd also be interested in anyone who has a working bluetooth phonebook call config to let me know what type of handsfree they are using so I can consider it - although I'd prefer one thats built into a stereo.
Also - is there anything I need to do to the phone - except check the SIM ACCESS box in the bluetooth?
I'm currently using TLR3 firmware btw.
Many thanks - I need to get this sorted ASAP as its no use having to take my phone out of my pocket to dial all the time

Cool - thanks.
I'll have a look on the JVC site and see what they have to offer.
Which model is it?
I've also noticed that Parrot themselves do a car stereo with BT handsfree, iPod controls and a tuner (pretty much the same as the Alpine one I have, but not so pretty!).

KD-BT1. I don't know if Parrot has a new head, but the old head had a FM receiver with bad performance.
JVC has a new one KD-BT11 which you can reprogram for new phones but not all bluetooth features.

I have the parrot mk61oo works a treat, including bluetooth media streaming!!

If you've it in the radio head you don't need any extra stuff. i.e. less stuff to steal.

perhaps, but IMHO I dont like the bluetooth enable head units. I think they all look pants.. This is connected to my 'stock' stereo, the controls are hidden from view, and the LCD is removed when I get out of the car. So it's easier to carry then a head unit....

Do these parrot kits work with Alpine/HTC windows mobile? cheers,

I've just installed the Kenwood BT-8041U, which I bought from Halfords. I'm using the latest Dutty's 2.5 rom and I can view my phonebook, call history and initiate calls from the stereo with no problems. Also I can stream music via Bluetooth.
The stereo also allows iPod connectivity which works fine. The only gripe I have with this unit is that it can be a bit fiddly i use. The left hand control knob can be a right pain in the ass to use if going over a bumpy or uneven road but it's something that i've got used too.
The sound of the calls, both for me and the at the other end of the line is good. The stereo comes with a wired mic that i've stuck on the steering wheel column and also a remote control to dial numbers etc. Once the phone is paired there is nothing else to fiddle around with. Whenever I get in and out of the car it just pairs with the phone and works.
After I got my head around the fiddly control and the illogical mapping of the buttons I've ended up pretty impressed by this head unit.

I have a similar problem:
my stereo is Alpine IDA-X100 with Bluetooth KIT KCE-BT300.
My Diamond works great with this KIT, but I can't access to my contacts from my HTC. Once I touched all options in bluetooth and my Alpine showed my diamond phone-book (this happened only 1 time).
So I know for sure that it works, but I don't understand the exact configuration......

music from hd2 to car stereo........how ?

hey guys, i've recently started a new job which involves a lot of driving, listening to the radio all the time gets quiet dull so my question is.....is there a way to listen to music stored on my phone through the car stereo at all....?. please tell me theres a way.....
cheers.

Hey mate! Yes there is a way to play music to your radio; if your radio supports "AUX" or "Bluetooth".
A cheap way though is this:
You need this to plug in your HD2 with the radio:
It's a cord that has 3,5mm Jack on both sides.

A radio with AUX support:
There are some cheap Branded or Chinese radios that support this feature.
I personally have a JVC with "Aux" feature in my VW.
If your radio don't have "AUX" support then i am out of ideas!

Firstly, congrats on the new job
If the job involves lots of driving like mine does, then chances are the company will pay for a bluetooth hands free kit, as if they expect you to talk while on the road they cannot expect you to always pull over, and certainly can't expect you to drive whilst holding the phone (£60 fine and 3 points doesn't go down well).
I've got a Jabra SP700 which is great, clips to the sun visor, uses the same USB connector as the HD2 to charge, and has a built in FM transmitter.
People hear me clearly, and they sound loud and clear to me.
Has a long battery life in use and on standby.
When someone calls it reads out the phone number, but other models will actually transmit the number using RDS so you'll get it up on the head unit.

Dude he want's to listen music from his HD2 on the car radio.
He don't need any Jabra stuff! lol

It's an option, and a bloody good one as driving in the UK whilst using your phone without handsfree can lead you to 3 points on your licence (increases your insurance premium in many cases) and a £60 fine. Plus many head units don't have an aux in, so FM transmitter is the only way.
Many businesses need drivers with clean licences for their corporate insurance so points can mean unemployment.
That's another important point (not normally an issue if the company provides the car and insurance), make sure you have business use on your insurance, most come with social/domestic/commuting to your usual place of work, and will add business use for no extra charge (or just an admin fee).
Here's a decent purchase for £11 if you're going to be driving a lot with the HD2. Windscreen mount that doesn't wobble, screen protectors, rubber bump cases (clear and black), stylus, charger, leather case.

Great choice dude!

That spring loaded 3.5mm jack you posted definitely would be perfect where the head's got an aux socket.

Getting audio to your car
If your car stereo doesn't have Aux inputs or Bluetooth there are still a few ways to get audio from your phone.
1. A portable FM wireless transmitter (Quality isn't that great)
2. You can get an adapter box that plugs into the antenna jack on the back of your stereo and transmits the audio as a FM signal. Most automotive stores seem to have fairly cheap ones and they are better quality than the wireless FM transmitter. I've one in my Echo that i picked up for only $15 Australian.
3. You can get an adapter that plugs into the CD input port on the back of many stereos and then your phone shows up as a 'CD player'. I used to have one in my old car from GROM (gromaudio.com). It worked very well as an Aux input. They now have more models but they seem to have better intergration with iPhones

I would also like to try it with the "double aux port"
So i need to run my music app and the music is directly available over my radio? o0

If your car HU has USB support, then make sure your HD2 loads USB mass storgae when it detects a usb cable. Then you can use your HU to change folders/tracks and not touch the HD2 at all.

thanks for all the replys guys but it looks like im screwed. the stereo has no aux and im not too sure the company would be too happy for me to start ripping it out to add things in the back of it......gutted. i might have to go down the fm jabra or whatever it is route, how bad can i expect the sound to be...?. i've seen this but dunno....any thoughts..?

Does the stereo have a cassette deck? You can get an adapter for it. Just search e-bay for cassette adapter.

I thought of the same thing and I was surprised that this suggestion only came in the 2nd page. Well it's probably because new cars don't use cassette players any more, but I still think there a lots of cars with them.
Good luck and let us know which option did you choose.

Looks good to me, has more control over the HD2 than my one does in that you should be able to use the buttons on the Cruiser to pause/play/next/last etc. It may actually read out the names from your address book too rather than just the numbers like mine does. And it's cheaper than mine

why didn`t you use an usb, it`s easyer as with the htc

[Q] Galaxy tab OEM car dock detailed pics request ECS-V980BEG / ECS-V980BEGSTA

Hi everyone...
So, I have a request. Can someone take some good pics of the OEM car dock swivel components? I was thinking about buying to modify it and integrate it to my jeep on the dash, but I want to make sure it has all the components i would need and that they would work.
(i really dont want to suction cup / windshield mount. - it does not look right and blocks view on a wrangler... So im going to make a custom bracket to host infront of the vents. see attachment)
Im very curious about the mounting and swivel plate. is it independent from the arm assembly? Looking here: http://www.mp3car.com/worklogs/147525-2009-altima-dash-mount-android-tablet-pc-6.html This image in particular:

...would lead me to believe it does indeed operate independent.
If anyone has it, would you kindly post some pictures of the tightening wheel and plate components disassembled?

Did you get any joy on this?
Does the car dock have it's own 3.5 audio out port (there's conflicting information around on this).

So hacking a standard desk dock may be a better play and doing a custom mount of some description.....
I want to feed the audio up to my ICE system.
On a related note does anyone know if there's 'selective' audio routing.....
i.e. Music and Nav audio to stereo via 3.5 jack and phones to bluetooth headset.

Yes hacking up the current mount would be cheaper than buying ram mount components. and smaller profile. I switched to a galaxy tab 8.9 so im not longer looking into this one...
As for your audio question, Im not sure what an ICE system is... but, the galaxy tab 7 does support a2dp. So you can have satelite nav software, and music outputting to something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-60...RN18/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1318624547&sr=8-4
Picture is almost actual size.
It connects to your radio's line in. Powered by 5v usb. Sounds very clear in my experience. I cant tell the difference between CD and this. Less wires hanging from your tab.
I have not read if it supports multiple paired devices.
Hopefully that answers your question.

Sorry ICE is 'In Car Entertainment', currently I have a DAB headunit with built in amp that has a Line in, what I was thinking of doing was feeding the 3.5 output on the Desktop Dock (after I've taken it apart) up to the line in on the headunit (I can never remember if 3.5 output works as an input to Line In?).
I'm looking at using a RAM-HOL-TAB2 and custom mounting a disassembled Desktop Dock to it. The nice thing about this is they have a quick release so I can move it to other places if I need to.
I was thinking more of software routing on the TAB, i.e. All audio would go out to the Headunit except when the phone rings the audio would mute and the phone call would route to the Bluetooth headset.

RAM-HOL-TAB2 looks rather interesteing.
What's DAB?
As for call routing to phone while everything else plays it is possible.
I have a cobra CB unit in my jeep that does bluetooth. All my music gets routed to the black berry bluetooth receiver, and any calls get routed to the CB unit. It should be no different for a bluetooth head set / mic i wouldn't think. All I had to do was pair the the devices and it set it self up.
If a call comes in, the music stops, and I answer the call through the cobra CB - call plays through CB (not stereo system) and I talk through CB mic.

S4 works with app2radio!

Use app2radio and turn your car touch-screen in-dash navigton/radio into a touch screen for your phone!
Ok, so I researched this, bought the parts, set it up in my car..... and can verify this works with our S4.
Pioneer makes a multi-touch head unit to install in your car. The creator of the app called arliborator created a program for your phone (that replaces the Pioneer program) that allows your phone to hdmi out your screen on the in-dash display. Additionally the app allows it so that when you press (or pinch/multi-touch) the in-dash display in your car, it controls your phone!
So now I can control my phone from the dash and have my phone display on the dash
Great for: google maps, movies, pandora tuned-in radio. The other thing I can do is have in-dash obd readings from my car (I have a bluetooth obd reader installed in my car). So I can see my mph, mpg, rpms, as well as check and clear fault codes..... all from my dash!
The head unit a rear view camera hookup. It uses the radio's gps which is faster lock than our phones (and it doesn't use phone batteries.
There's so much more too that this does. Check out this video to see what I'm talking about:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJW4V7U8k6E
I picked this head unit up (app2radio or sph-da100) for $269 refurbished!

I have an older head unit:
http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-AVH-P4300DVD-In-Dash-Double-DIN-Receiver/dp/B004HW6F7Y
Will this work with that unit?
I am considering changing that out anyways, as it needs an additional module for the backup camera and the current generation ZR1 doesn't come with one.

Nope. Won't work. No appradio mode or HDMI in on the deck.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

Looking forward to testing this out. I have the AppRadio2 in my car and truck. Been using it with an HTC EVO 4g LTE but the Bluetooth is buggy on it. Moving over to the S4 after using HTC devices since the original Touch.
Phone should be at home when I get in tonight. Looking forward to a better phone, navigation and Pandora using the S4 over the EVO.... Also using ARLiberator and Car Home Ultra. Great combo on this radio.

Using a touch screen interface in a moving car is a losing proposition unless one is in a funeral procession.
Also, it means the screen is too low and too close to the driver for a safe viewing angle. There is a reason most OEM have gone to a control device for the screen.
It you need to, check out the Cadillac Cue system, or an older Lexus with touchscreen. Fail when the vehicle is moving.

I had the App2Radio installed & it was ONLY useful with the ARLiberator app. The problem is, horrible audio disconnection every 15 seconds, screens blurring repeatedly. It was enough after 3 days installed that I decided to return it. I had high hopes for it as years ago, I had ALWAYS wished for a dash "dumb terminal" that I could control my phone with.

I've since installed the Parrot Asteroid Smart (Android 2.3.7) & rooted it & haven't been more satisfied. As it stands, I've got my radar detector, ODBII bluetooth module, and cell phone all connected thru my PAS via bluetooth simultaneously & it works near flawlessly. I have some automation (on my phone & PAS) I'm wanting to setup (Tasker) & it'll be perfect (automatically enable BT tethering, etc).
(Now I'm able to just about keep my phone completely turned off, don't need to run Escort Live on the phone anymore)

Wish this worked for my Cadillac CTS Nav screen. That would be pro.

No luck for me..... I have an AppRadio2 in both my cars. Used it a LOT while traveling for Pandora and Google Maps and worked decent enough with my HTC EVO 4G LTE. Can't get it to connect at all on this S4. Bluetooth pairs fine but when I plug in the MHL cable (using Pioneer Android kit) it will not see the phone. Neither unit will.

You need a mhl 3.0 adapter for it to work. I had to buy one when I went from my note to my s4.

That worked. Picked up an adapter for a Galaxy S3 at the Samsung "store" at the local Best Buy. Worked perfectly. I just wish the cable was a little longer on the adapter. I had mine originally setup with the adapter in a coin pocket below the shifter. My phone would rest snugly in the cup holder and the cable would reach it perfectly. The cable on the Samsung adapter is may 3" long. Way too short to be useful.
Now if I can figure out how to get the screen from blanking when I close the flip cover when in car mode....
