My Samsung UN32EH4003FXZA HDTV has NO Audio outputs & no BT. I knew this. Now I want to use my BT headset. And will the picture remain since the VGA connector won't be used?
I bought a Anker Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter and Audio Receiver 2 in 1 Adapter.
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E174RTS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Uses a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cord. Wasn't thinking right thought I could connect this to my HDTV. I can't, directly anyways.
Did a bit of research. I want an inexpensive solution. Can I use a HDMI Male to VGA with 3.5mm Line Out Audio? Here's two I'm looking at:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251744316365?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
http://www.ebay.com/itm/381114657643?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Will one or both send Stereo sound to the Anker Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter and Audio Receiver? Again eBay items 251744316365 & 381114657643.
If either of these won't work. Are there any ~$20 USD & under solutions? I can return the Anker BT Transmitter if needed.
Edit: Just bought a 1.5ft Premium 3.5mm Stereo Male to 2RCA Male cable by Monoprice through eBay $4.52 otd. Looks a lot better than the other cheap cables for less. Connecting it to my cable box.
Yeah those 2RCA to 3.5mm cables come in quite handy sometimes.
What I usually do is to plug it into our family's 15-year-old sound system and connect the 3.5mm into our phones when we have friends over. Decent solution when I don't have the CD, or want to play the latest tunes, or don't want the TV on to Chromecast youtube
Awesome! Bob's my uncle.
Translation: It works.

Me again
I am looking to purchase an adapter to plug into my Qtek 2020i so that I can plug a FM transmitter into allowing me to play the MP3's to the car stereo.
I don't really fancy the idea of a 3.5mm to 2.5mm all in one unit, high change of breaking the 2.5 in the phone.
I have read around and there are adapters available that are a 2.5mm plug with a cable then the 3.5mm socket, but there seems to be problems with some of them not being connected correctly and thus, not stereo, not working etc.
I'm not bothered about bringing the microphone out, I have bluetooth and otherwise I'd be using the internal mic.
Any thoughts guidance anyone?

Hey Tom
Me too, if you find some information, please post it here.
Well what I do know is that Expansys stock such an item. However its in the £7-9 bracket, which strikes me as stupid. For that much I can go and buy an inline socket, a plug and a mile of wire and make it myself!
Infact for that much I'd look at buying a stack of inline sockets and plugs and make and sell the buggers!
Tom
I bought an inline 2.5mm-3.5mm adapter, and I had to cut away most of the plastic surround at the 2.5mm end to get it to fit. It was a bit dodgy anyway, might've broken the socket, so I got a 2.5mm right-angle jack to 3.5mm socket (along a short cable, just enough to run up the inside of my case and out the top) for a few quid. Still had to cut off the extra plastic on the 2.5mm end to make it fit though.
Not sure if this disables the internal mic, since I only use it for listening to music, and then unplug it when making/receiving a call.

Strange, I bought mine for about £2.50.
Hi,
I bought a 3.5mm FM transmitter powered by AAA batteries or Car adapter for $11 on Ebay.
Then I bought an INSTEN 3.5mm to 2.5mm stereo adapter with Mic and answer button for $7
This way while listening to music on my car stereo, if a call comes in I just press the mic button on the adapter and I can answer the call by hearing the caller on my car speakers and talking into the omni-directional mic on the adapter. My total cost = $18
It avoids the hassle of unpluging from your PDA phone...which could down the road cause problems with your PDA.
Look on ebay for these deals.
Thanks
Hello,
I have recently bought a TY TN II and I would like it to play music into my car stereo audio input. Simpler said then done, I have quickly found out!!
I am trying to connect the Kaiser to the car charger and a 3.5 mm head phone jack that I would connect to the car stereo input.
Unfortunately all the Y splitter cable I have seen are very short and would result in having a mess of cable dangling from the Kaiser mounted on the air vent. I would like to just have one cable go into the dash and there connect to the Y splitter and then charger and audio. The goal is to charge and at the same time play music.
I would then need an extension cord to put between the y splitter and the kasier. Here come the problems:
1- How many pins are on the mini usb female that is on the kaiser. Is it a simple 5 pin Mini type A? or is it an 11 pins as some Y cable imply?
2- I could only find one supplier for the mini extension http://www.pc-mobile.net/gugf.htm item CMUE and I am not sure if it is a 5 or 4 wire extension (mini USB can be both I believe). For some reason nobody make this extension???!!!
3- If that extension does not work I could try to make one. What are the pinouts on the Kaiser? I could try to cannibalizing a sycro cable mini male end and find a circuitboard female to connect to the y splitter.
Any help is appreciated. I am getting quite aggravated with this connection problems.
Cheers
Giovanni
Spend a tenner for this
I just ordered it yesterday

Best way would be to buy a BT capable HiFi as with the latest BT fix it will be OK.
BUT!!
If you want a quick hack for BT stereo/handsfree to your car audio.
Buy an iTech clip (it has a 3.5mm jack for audio out) and a car charger for it and a dual cig lighter adaptor.
Fit the iTech clip on you sunvisor (mic is there for phone!) and route its charger cable to the cigarette lighter and the audio cable to your stereo (if you don't have audio in, use a cassette adaptor).
You now can use the clip as Wireless stereo AND it will answer call for you and mute the music and only your power cable to your phone!!!
My iTech clip works seamlessly with the 'Kaiser', not ticks and good audio quality.

This is exactly what I use. I have it connected to an MP3 cable for my stereo and it wprks great!
I have my bluetooth earpiece in to receive calls and the stereo mutes when someone calls.
Also with MS Voice Commander I can also select artists, albums, tracks, or even genre just by pressing the button on my earpiece and speaking!
Its wicked!

I don't want to change the car stereo and I want to just have one simple cable to plug in the Kaiser. The rest should be in the car dashboard and out of sight.
I have bought a Scosche BT receiver but did not work with the Kaiser. BT is kind of miss and hit still. Since I need to connect one cable (power in) anyway I may as well have the audio hard wired.

I already have a 2.5mm -> 3.5mm stereo adapter to connect my Mogul to my car stereo.
I want a 2.5mm (M) -> Splits two ways:
a) 3.5mm (F) stereo
b) 3.5mm (F) mic
If there isn't one commercially available, I should be able to make it. Any idea what the proper pinout is? And how do we get all signals down 3 wires? (Left+Right+Mic+Gnd+control button)
Any update on finding out how to conect a external speaker and mic to the 6800? I would like to have this type of setup in my car.

You can do a direct splice of the cables coming out if you want, but that requires a little bit on knowledge and a little bit of testing. Basically, you'd take the stock headset and cut off the earbuds and mic. You'd then splice the headphone fead and the mic feed into other lines that would run to your external speaker and mic. Other than that, I don't know of any attachments that do it. You could swing by radio shack and ask them.
I am also interested in doing this. My car has an aux input to the stereo and I would like to install some kind of mic setup so I can use it as a handsfree device. Bluetooth is way too unpredictable so I plan on doing it wired.
You will need a 4-conductor 2.5mm plug along with the Y-cable that came with the phone that has usb and 2.5mm jack.
anyone looking for this setup.. i have a cable i bought off ebay that has a miniusb,which allows you to have a charger plugged in, built in microphone and answer button, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, it works great in the car for hands free (car deck has aux in) , and also works great with my cigarette lighter fm transmitter. anyone looking for this , just type in m
I think i found a solution. I just bought an adapter like this one:

Okay so I'm planning on buying a new monitor. the ASUS MS238H and it has a 3.5mm hole that says "For HDMI" and a HDMI port. I was planning on hooking my xbox 360 up to it, and I want audio for it and my PC so I was thinking could I plug a 3.5mm cable from my speakers AUX port to the monitor and have it work, or do I need to split the audio coming from the speakers main cable for it to be able to work with my PC and XBOX360. Please anything will help.
Verify the specifications on both devices ... I seem to recall reading somewhere that audio can be transferred over the HDMI cable. I suggest doing a quick Google search on:
hdmi audio xbox360
HTH,
the hdmi cable should have audio built in.
Is it a hdmi to hdmi video + 3.5mm audio?
i dont think they do them put id try searching for hdmi to hdmi video + phono (l r) audio and get a converter
flyboy
well the monitor doesn't have built in speakers that's the problem. The monitor has a plug that says "for hdmi" and it's a 3.5mm plug, and I have speakers with a AUX plug and I plan on plugging in my 3.5mm cable to the monitor through that. So I was wondering if it works.
Have a look at the the following XBOX360 accessory:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360hdmiavcable
The Xbox 360 HDMI Cable provides gamers with separate audio and video connections via the included Audio Adapter. The Audio Adapter allows HDMI video to be routed to the HDTV with the audio routed separately to the home speaker system. Without the Audio Adapter the video and audio signals are both carried by the HDMI cable. This means users without an HDMI receiver (new/costly) must listen to their Xbox 360 game and movie audio via their TV speakers.

Optical/RCA Audio Adapter included for non-HDMI supported stereo systems

So the monitor has the hdmi in then a 3.5mm socket out for audio?
flyboy
In the midst of downloading the manual for the display ... I suspect the 3.5mm jack is audio out for mini-speakers.
* EDIT *
Well ... the manual is a Quick Start fold-out which doesn't provide much more info than what is posted on their site. The fold-out indicates that the ports on the back are 1) DC-IN, 2) HDMI-IN/DVI, 3) VGA, 4) Earphone - Out. Based on the limited info presented, I suspect that the audio/video is carried through the HDMI cable and port #4 could be used for a headset or mini-speakers.
Best thing would be to call ASUS up for confirmation before making the purchase.
I have a similar setup running on my screen and a set of speakers and a ps3. The way i did it was to send the video over HDMI and then the audio over a RCA connection. This meant that i can have clear audio.
If you do it over HDMI then Headphones, you meet the asus monitor amp (wont be great) i personally would suggest buying the adaptor that outputs RCA and digital optical, that plugs into the old standard component port on the back. Will be much easier and also you will not have audio levels controlled in 2 places.
I wanted to do it similar to you but i wanted a proper aux out to my speakers, no such monitor in my price range exisits at least or really needs it tbh.
Yeah thanks for all your help. I decided to buy a different ASUS monitor with built in speakers. Didn't want to go through the hassle of setting everything up.
Hi guys,
I bought a new Samsung TV the other day; it has RCA input but no RCA output.
I have some wireless Sennheiser RS170 headphones that connect via headphone jack or RCA output. The headphone jack works fine but mutes the tv speakers, so every time l'm not using them have to remember to unplug them (on the back of a 46" tv!)
However, connecting via RCA, I can leave them plugged in and works ok.
Anyone know how I can get RCA output on the tv, if at all? I seen some scart to RCA output adapters, would this work?
Cheers.
Owen.
if you had a receiver amp you could plug the rca in to that, or I believe if the TV has an optical output (should have) you can get a converter to change the optical out to an rca. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0074JZ8ZW
sorry to say but most new TVs only have an optical out these days to run audio to a sound bar or amp.
you can get a two rca to a 3.5mm jack plug which would fit in the headphone socket of the TV but you would likely have the same prob of muted TV speakers.
