Is there an fm transmitter that also charges the phone? - myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories

I'd really like to get one of these: fm transmitter
But there's no real sense if the phone doesn't get charged while driving.
So is there one around that does also charge the phone or how would I go about charging the phone while being able to listen to music on the car radio?

I would try the "break out box" that comes with the htc touch pro 2. I connected it to my touch pro 2 and was able to simultaneously charge the phone, and push audio out through the 3.5mm on that.
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to charge the phone (through the bottom port) and have your fm transmitter coming out of the right side, where it shows the headphones. Let us know!

looked around for something similar a couple of months ago and ended up buying this. phone plugged in and charging. music b/t to hands free kit and them fm to the stereo. also (unsurprisingly) works well as a hands free kit.

Is there alternative way to have this particular fm transmitter charge the phone at the same time?
I was wondering if the current charger for the fmtalk is 5V and the phone will require a 5V, does it work if I can get a car charger with output of 8 to 10V? Or will that fry the devices instead??
I'm hesitant to get another accessory just to use this thing and charge at the same time as it makes the whole setup very clumsy...
Any help is deeply appreciated!

6 months late
what you need is probably a Y connector where at one end you have a mini usb jack and at the other end a 3.5mm jack. hope the current doesn't interfere with the audio. if you had one of these....

Mogul Windshield Mount - Love it....

Ok so I was looking but didnt see anyone post here... I bought a mogul windshield mount a bit ago.... I love it.. however I have 2 problems with it...
1. connector inside unglues and you have to take it apart... I jammed something in to keep it tight once it happened....
2. I have radio noise when my sirius external is on and using the auxilary jack on the face of my radio.....
3. power plug is too short... almost like they want you to mount it in the middle of the car.... where I have it by the left side... near the door...
however just wanted to tell people if they need a windshield mount... I recommend it... expecially for the price...
I got it off ebay but there arent any up there now...

also the bottom has a piece of plastic you can take off if you take it apart... I thought about taking it apart and putting in the Y adapter that came with the phone... I could hang it down and out the bottom and still charge my phone but in addition have a headphone jack to send a wire to my radio aux on the front !!!!!!!
thought id add to this post..
having a cooked rom now....
dataplan....
slide 2 play
gps navigation...

I had to modify this thing..
Ok so lets see..
1. radio: stock gm silverado 3.5mm jack on front of radio
2. cable with 3.5mm male ends
3. wifes lg fusic headset (comes apart and has a 3.5mm plug to 2.5mm!!!!)
4. Mogul Y adapter
5. DC charge cable
6. windshield mount
7. razor knife and phillips screwdriver
i hooked up my phone to the radio and used slide 2 play to listen to music... threw the phone in the cup holder in the center console....im driving down the road listening to some tunes and the wife calls... I ansered the phone... and I was using the truck audio!!!!!!
first S2Play paused the tunes
second I could talk to the wife hands free!!!!! perfectly fine!!!!
third.. when call was done... music continued!!!!!!!!
WOW....
so now time to get this into my windshield mount...
I usually do better work but have been procrastinating... so just did it tonight... quick throw together...
will take better pics tomorrow...

Battery charger for HD HD2

Hello Friends and greetings to all,
I used to have for my previous HTCs an independent cradle battery charger where I would place a battery in the morning and replace it the evening with the one in my device.
Hence I never suffered from powerlack.
Did you see in your surfing a new device for HTC HD2?
Thank you and have a nice holiday season.
I always switched batteries. I agree, it's the most comfortable recharging practice.
Anyway, I found a craddle/bat. charger here.

Can't agree more with you my friend, takes 3 minutes to do the whole operation, whereas with a broader battery, the spirit itself of your purchasing goal goes astray.
Thanks for your link, I will go for it.

to give your HD2 a nice tan
Are there any issues with using non HTC produts? I've used non official products in the past and always had problems, ie they stop working after a while.
Has anyone actually got one? Is it any good?
cradle
I had 1 for my hd, loved it. So got 1 for hd2. Saw 1 with 3.5mm headphone jack, super for listening to tunes,& charging. But, Didn't realize that unless plugged into external speakers when charging ,say at nite, you won't hear phone ring, or message alerts? So, I just plug into reg. charger,so I can hear ring, its my only phone. Might be getting reg.1?
Edit; it does still work to charge spare battery.
Just had thought? If I take out the 3.5 male plug, it will work like I need it too! Right?

Car Cradle/Dock - For A Sensible Price

I'm after a car phone holder with a USB connection built in. Has anyone come across one for a sensible price?
All I can find is the official HTC one which is over £50!! I've toyed with the idea of using a desk dock (£12), however I'm not sure whether this is a good plan as the phone's USB port will be put under some strain from the vibration of the vehicle which could lead to it being damaged.
EViS try ebay I got mine from there about a year or so ago, don't use it now (ebay that is )
I use this one in my car:
dealextreme.com/p/usb-ac-battery-charging-dock-cradle-for-htc-hd2-100-240v-44622
Works fine, connected both usb-connections to chargers... also charges extra battery.
Just attached with some welcro to the underside and the dash.....

Will that fit the TMOUS HD2?
I know a USB connection was required, but those are hard to find for a car cradle. I just got one of these for $7.50 on Amazon.

Card Cradle on Amazon
Works great. Sticks to my windshield and holds on. Pefect fit for my TMOUS HD2 in the holder with no lame thick padding. Camera functions also via an opening for it in the holder. Turns many ways for custom angles. I'm buying a second for my desk at work because I'm just that geeky.
Does that one shake while you driving?
I've got me self something like this but when i'm using it with eg. alaprecoreder app i cant get decent video....

It does just a little bit. I didn't think about that and video. I'll do a test video when I head out for lunch later.
*Edit*
I ran some video tests and was impressed with the results. If your car rides smooth, the holder should stay still. My truck does not ride smoothly but most of the time it worked and the video was very watchable. I only had issues with bumpy road spots, shifting, or when I got over 70 mph (112 kph). Not an issue with the holder, just my truck shaking some.

Best accessories ever bought. Life is so much better!

Best accessories ever bought. Life is so much better! and What are they? Simply an extra battery - OEM version from amazon.com was about $6 - and a battery charger - from Amazon.com, was around $6.
These make life so much simpler, so much time worrying about a cable connected to my phone to charge it in all the places i may go in life in the past, is now spent knowing when my battery is low, I've got a 100% charged duplicate battery just waiting for me to swap 'em out. I just wanted to share, it really has made cellular life in general so much easier!

This little gizmo is genius. Basically makes ANYTHING bluetooth capable. At the end of it is a female 3.5mm jack. I use this to make my Car bluetooth. I have a male-male cable (one side plugged into the Aux on my Car, the other side plugged into the gizmo shown above). Turn it on and you got Bluetooth now. Its so damn small you can basically take it with you anywhere and make anything bluetooth.
Best part is its so damn cheap compared to its competitors. I got mine on eBay brand new for 12 bucks.....I don't think they sell these in retail stores. I looked around in retail stores and anything like this was well over $40 and WAY more bulky and bloated with useless bling-features.

Amplified speakers?

Hi, can you folks reccomend some amplified speakers for use with my Nexus when in the car?
Its great as a sat nav but not loud enough so something that I can fit perhaps at the back of it when in a bracket and powered by 12v/5v ?
I have searched but not come up with much.
Cheers,
Sid
got this ninja turtle speaker at toys r us for my sons tablet in the back seat that is mounted on the head rest. it plugs into the headphone jack and is powered by usb (rechargeable) so you can plug it into any usb car charger. plenty loud and decent sound for the price. they had a bunch of different styles if you're not into ninja turtles lol including a bomb shaped one that was pretty cool looking. it sits on a key ring so you can clamp it to anything http://www.toysrus.com/buy/electronics/audio/speakers/speakers-docks/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-portable-ipod-speaker-orange-55065-tru-17356136

Just did a survey of portable ( pocket-able ) amplified speakers, the best sound under 300euros is the JBL charge
http://www.jbl.com/estore/jbl/us/products/JBL-Charge/JBL%20CHARGE_JBL_US
The best above 300 is the BOSE
http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/digital_music_systems/bluetooth_speakers/soundlink_wireless_speaker/index.jsp
My tests centered on hi-fi quality, so were performed with a wired link NOT the bluetooth
Thank you but I was thinking of something for in the car, 20 euros being too much to pay let alone 100+ :good:

The Logitech USB speaker works with USB-OTG and it's pretty loud. Combine that with a Y cable for charging and it's not a bad setup. I got mine for $20usd locally on clearance.

Bought the same speaker for about the same price and agree. Decent improvement over the builtin ones although not audiophile or even close but then it's not audiophile priced either.

Get a Lepai. Makes it simple to run normal speakers.

Thanks for the suggestions folks.
Maybe this need a change to the car audio setup so I can use the car radio.
Problem with that is that its a fiat with blue & me that uses the aux IP for the computer input.
Cheers.
Sid.
You could still use the Lepai for your car stereo also. Just run the audio out on the car stereo to the audio in rca jacks on the Lepai and then hook the cars speakers to the outs on the Lepai.
Tesco have been selling an Altec Lansing speaker for about £7.50 it's a single speaker but has amazing sound, fills the cab of my van without any problems. Battery powered and the batteries seem to last forever.
Now that's more like it.
Cheers.
