Anyone try out this Fm Trans / Car Charger

Looks to be just what I'm looking for, Its not going to fit the Titan perfectly but it looks like it would work.

If anyone has one on a Titan please give us a review.
Chris

well i just bought one so i'll review it when i get it.

I'm curious... let me know how this works... Very curious to see if it works good with the Slingbox. If I could run the audio of the TV through my car speakers... I'm buying it soon after!
THANKS!

Well I got the transmitter yesterday and was initially pleased with the size and appearance. My first disappointment was that it will not charge the device while playing music. That was the point of my purchase. I have sent a question to the seller about this. I may have got a faulty transmitter.
Also the sound has static in the lower range. If you play anything with crunch like metallica, it just sounds like distortion... on top of distortion... This can be reduced by turning down the system vol on the titan and jacking up the radio but you have to remember to reduce the vol on the radio after you finish using the transmitter. The cig. adapter and charging cable is small and discreet and works very well to charge the device but when the charging cable is attached to power the transmitter the device receives no power. Also, the design of the transmitter will not allow you to jury rig power with the solid Y adapter. This would not bother me on short drives but my work makes me drive prolonged distances so the phone would be dead by the time I arrived. Also in situations where GPS is needed you would have to disconnect the transmitter and connect the power adapter to keep it functional.
The mic built into the transmitter works on about the same level as the speaker phone mic.
Tested on:
VW/ 8 speaker Monsoon Radio with aftermarket antenna pre-amp. (2x better than stock antenna pre-amp)

just to add to this...never tired to specific one being discussed but i thought i would share the one i am using found here
The Motorola T505 it works great connects to phone using bluetooth and broadcasts any audio from it to an fm frequency. it pairs with my touch every time and so far no disappointment's...it's a little more expensive but i think it's worth it. Come with a card charger 2 and the battery last pretty good.

"The Motorola T505"
Looks good! Do you mind me asking how much $$ it was?

i got it for 99$ on sale at Future Shop it's regular 129.99.

do somebody can work it??

Yes it works. I'm still using it but not being able to charge the phone while playing music is its down fall. I'm still looking for the ultimate solution.

Buy one of these socket splitters and use the dual adapter that you should have received with your phone. That should solve your problem. Note: buy extra fuses for the socket splitter. They tend to pop every now and then.

Motorola t505
Just wanted to pipe in that I'm using the T505 and love it. Have had it for almost 8-9 months (I believe I got it from Futureshop as well for about $89). I liked it so much that recommended it to my dad and he bought one. I think they're now much cheaper.

car holder possible issue.

jsut been playing with my play, and suddenly rememberd, the battery charging socket is on the side of the phone, not top or bottom, like the other phones, i have used so far, which i understand, because of its gaming feature, however, i think this will cause issues, with many car holders, whats your experience on this, cause all only have my car monday, and i cant help, but worry, about the possibility, of having to change this. Anyone seen a decently priced car holder?, in case, i might have to change mine.

You could use the official SE DK300 docking station, some ductape and a 12V car supply to usb adapter

DroidX's charge port is on the left side. I find that to be a great place considering the car dock is specific to the X. Maybe wait for a device specific dock?

[Q] Verizon Car Charger noise

Is anyone else getting a lot of background buzzing noise when playing music while charging with the Verizon car charger?
It's horrible on my Bionic.
It's so loud that I cannot charge the device if I want to listen to music, a podcast, or use navigation.
Fortunately, using a generic usb lighter plug and usb cable produces much much less buzzing.
Do I have a defective car charger?

Yeah I have the same problem with my charger and using my bionic for sound. It is terrible.

Ive experienced the same issue with the cheap car charger. I was blaming my cheapo car charger as well....
So its the BIONIC thats effing it up....

Turn off 4G.

I noticed this a lot on my HTC Droid Incredible, but have not had the issue with my Bionic, even while connected to 4G.

I'll try that

Thanks.
I will try that on the ride home from work tonight.
It kind of cripples the functionality of the phone though.

I can tell you that I have a headunitless install (phone plugged into amp) in my car with google music being my only source of music and I have zero issue with unwanted noise.

FYI: I turned off the 4g and plugged in the Verizon car charger. It went from very loud noise to just loud noise.

This thread is about using the Verizon car charger. I am not sure why you posted this here.

I've had this problem with every phone lol its the car charger, almost makes me feel like I have turbo cause it gets higher pitch the harder I push the gas pedal

Update: i exchanged the verizon car charger at the Verizon store. This charger works fine. It does not cause the bionic to make noise at all. The buzzing is gone.

I use a Motorola OEM charger I got from amazon and it has no noise

I assume you that are experiencing noise are connecting from the headphone jack to your stereo. If the charger or stereo input is not properly designed this will cause a ground loop and you will get noise.

I think you'll find that is alternator whine getting into the electrical system. A filter should clean that up. The problem is something radio amatuers have to deal with all the time. No big deal to install.

I have the same issue with my phones and my iPod to the AUX In on both my Saab 9-3...
I had used an older version of -> http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062214 in line with the 1/8" stereo cable to get rid of it...
When mom gave me their GMC Terrain, I had to get one for it too. The Radio Shack guy looked at me like I was nuts when I asked for it, asked why I needed it, I explained, he said "that wont work"... well, he's wrong

This is the one you want:

Cleared everything up in my Mazda beautifully.

I've had zero noise issues with my OG Droid car charger, but I'm keeping the new one that came w/ the Costco bundle (also a Motorola branded charger) handy in case the old unit dies after 2+ years

Auxiliary Bluetooth Car port

Anyone know of someway to use Bluetooth in any car stereo by the use of adding a Bluetooth receiver or something to the auxilliary port? I've messed my up my port on my phone before and I don't wanna do it again with my refurb . I listen to a lot of music...

You could plug an FM transmitter into the headphone socket and tune the car radio to it if that's any help, those things are very cheap these days and you can get them integrated into car chargers..

Love the idea but my radio is broken lol

Belkin makes a product for this. Two of them in fact. Look it up on belkins website under the iPhone in car section.

If you're willing to replace your head unit, search these forums for mention of the JVC KD-X50BT. Its a nice Bluetooth receiving head unit that apparently has some pretty decent sound. Reasonably priced, too! I plan on picking one up soon to use with my nexus.

The belkin, if its the cheap one we're both talking about, apparently has awful sound quality. Maybe the second of the two is better.
Always check reviews, just ignore the idiots lol

I remember looking on ebay and seeing what looked like a bluetooth box thing that connected through the aux port.
ie this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/iKross-Bluet...ltDomain_0&hash=item51a218fae1#ht_2983wt_1032
For a simpler idea, cant one just use a male to male cable to connect it?

i just bought this and recieved it today..
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00727FE5U/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
its great, no loss in sound quality, easy charging and easy pairing, small with short cord, comes with an adapter so you can also connect it to stereos/tvs/etc.., also has good BT range.

Oh thanks this is exactly what I was looking for! Can you easily switch the chord out with a longer one?

Do an ebay search for "bluetooth receiver", you'll find all kinds of devices. As for how well they work, well, let us know. :laugh:

You can try the flexsmart x2. It has a line out and line in jack. It is charger and Bluetooth as well. If you plug the line out to the head auxiliary jack then hook the device up through Bluetooth, you won't have to keep unplugging and plugging in. It could potentially work through Bluetooth.
I would try it, bit my car radio doesn't have an auxiliary jack though. Ill see If I can figure out a way to test it and report back.

They have a bluetooth 2.0 a2dp on deal extreme, it gives pretty decent sound and is only 13$, only downside is you have to wait for like a month for it to get here. I can post links yet as I havent hit 10 posts lol, but the sku is 8422 and its on Deal Xtreme. Happy hunting

I use this one in my truck.It did not come with bluetooth and I plug this in my aux to listen to music from the n7 or phone.It works well and pairs very easy.Battery last around 12 hours during use and charges in about 2.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll check these out once I get away from this blocked WiFi.

Im using the HTC Stereo Clip. Awesome device. A little pricey but I think worth it because it does sound like it's directly plugged into the device.

I use the Stereo Clip as well. I've found that battery life on it sucks, so to remedy that I have it constantly plugged into a car charger. This works for me because both my AUX port and a charging port are inside my center console, so they are both hidden from view. Otherwise, you have to recharge it every 2 days or so.

How long do you have it connected? What's your bt device play time? I guess I don't use the clip enough in a shot to really compare. But I have been happy with it and I too, have it constantly plugged into my car charger.

I like some of these that I see here. The GoGroove has pretty decent reviews but can it charge while I use it in my car? Anything that I won't have to take out of my car to charge and has pretty decent audio quality will do. Also if it sleeps on its own when a Bluetooth device isn't connected to it. Really just needs to not be so much of a hassle to use and be reliable.

Bluetooth Stereo adapter

I tried plugging in my Note 2 through my car stereo and it doesn't recognize the device. It's a cheaper stereo so it doesn't have bluetooth. So, I'm looking for a bluetooth adapter, any suggestions?

Plantronics K100 works best of allnive tested. This is an FM Modulated device so youll need to use the FM radio stations.

I have the HTC Car A200 that is about the size of a flash drive and I love mine. It hangs off your AUX in port and has a built in battery. I leave mine plugged in to the USB port all the time for power and I actually picked up a right angle adapter so it hangs down, but other than that I love it.
The best part is that it uses aptX so you get better quality than regular A2DP streaming.

I'm a cheap. I have and use this when needed. I've recommended it to coworkers as well and they use it all the time: Coby CA-745. It's an FM transmitter, but uses a 3.5mm jack. It also has another cigarette port so you can use, say, your car charger for your phone.
