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.
I'm looking to buy Bluetooth mouse for Nexus 7 with 4 or 5 buttons (left/right click, scroll, back/(forward) button). Any recommendations?

I use the Logitech V470. It's not a bad mouse, but it does seem to lag quite a bit (particularly when you've left it alone for a few seconds, then start using it again)
The thing is, Android (being a very touch-centric operating system) doesn't have very robust mouse support. 99% of Android apps only support the scroll wheel and one mouse button. Considering this, you might honestly be better off using a cheap wireless mouse with USB OTG.
@farmerbb Thanks for reply. I really appreciate it. My OTG cable is on route but I would prefer Bluetooth mouse if I could find one without issues. I watched some videos on YouTube and most of them using Microsoft Notebook Bluetooth Mouse 5000. I'm wandering is there anybody here to use that mouse or some cheap $10 from China?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, I wish I would have bought the Bluetooth Mouse 5000 instead, from the reviews I've read it seems like it doesn't have the same issues I'm having with the Logitech mouse.
I've used a wireless USB mouse with the Nexus 7 as well, and it's a 100% lag free experience. You do have to deal with that stupid OTG cable though. From my experience the Nexus 7 occasionally won't recognize the mouse after you wake the device from sleep, and you have to unplug and replug the OTG cable to get it to recognize again.
So there's definitely pros and cons to both.
I have a White MS 5000 notebook mouse at home, brand new never opened. I bought it for $55 from Microcenter. Still has the sticker on it. I'd sell it but you can find them online for much cheaper then I'm willing to part with it. I've used a 5000 BT mouse before and it was fun. I also bought a el cheapo BT thumb keyboard off ebay. Worked well.
I was looking around on amazon and found this SNES replica USB gamepad
SNES USB game pad
It's plug n play on windows PC, but will it work on GN2 using OTG cable? If it does I'm thinking to make a custom mount that will hold GN2 on the gamepad like MOGA gamepad (Didn't really want to pay $50 for that thing and still having to use their proprietary app to have the controller working on my gaames).
Will it work without additional apps?
Plus, I'm hoping no lag since I will be using wired connection instead of BT.
Any thought on this set up?
I use a $3 no name generic usb gamepad. It looks like a ps3 controller.
It works fine.
You will need to use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy to map the controller for most games. Not many have controller support built in.

Hey everyone, I recently bought an OTG cable off amazon along with a ps2 controller to USB adapter. Well, while waiting for my ps2 adapter to come in(OTG is already in my possession), I wanted a temporary solution.
I used to mod original xbox's and even make adapters to convert controllers to USB(Original xbox uses USB, just different shaped ports). Well, on windows you have to download special drivers that you have to find yourself due to your computer not being able to automatically install the controller. So, I figured the controller would be the same way on Android.
Well, I was wrong. what you do is strip an xbox controller's cable, or the break away cable(this is smarter due to the fact you can still use your controller later with another break away cable), and strip a usb cable (the male end still in tact) and simply wire the corresponding colors together(Green to green, red to red, black to black, white to white). Now the xbox controller has a 5th wire which is yellow, you can ignore that one.
So far this controller has been a good temporary solution for my wait. The L & R triggers don't work, but im not sure if that's an android issue or my controller just funked. Anyways if anyone has a spare xbox controller laying around and about 10-20 minutes of spare time, give this trick a go! Would love to see other people's results!
Games tested on:
GTA III

Well I already have a XBOX to USB adapter, I guess that would save me the stripping right? (I'm at work, cant test it myself yet)
Anyone try this with ICS?

I too have an xbox to USB adapter from the old Xbox modding days. Plugged into my OT G adapter for the note 2 tonight, and no love on riptide GP or dead trigger.
is there anywhere where you can check to see if the Android is even detecting it?
do you need to help 6 axis controller or something installed?
Would this work on for the Motola Atrix Lapdock's full USB port? That would be pretty sick...
well i always wanted to know whether this would work but never tried it, i have a xbox controller that i did the usb mod with and a asus transformer tf101 with 2xUSB host and a SGS3 with otg adapter. but when i made the transistion from windows 7 gaming to windows 8 i later realised the driver would never be supported, so i was left with windows 8 games all installed and ready but no controller to play them with. so i bought an official xbox360 wired controller new off ebay, i knew it would work with android if i needed it to but it is perfect for me and my pc. btw the windows 7 driver for xbox controller is called XBCD and works well with x360 button mapping software.
This sounds pretty awesome. I modded the break away cable on one of my original Xbox controllers years ago so I could use it as a PC controller because I had extras. Now I just need to get an OTG cable.:cyclops:
I used this tutorial to mod my Xbox 1 controller a few days before: http://www.ocmodshop.com/how-to-use-an-xbox-controller-as-a-usb-pc-gamepad/
It works perfekt with my i9305 including the L & R triggers if you build you own driver with USB/BT Joystick Center 6: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy
You also can copy my config file to your folder USBJoyData and import it with USB/BT Joystick Center 6: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56411924/Xboxcontroller/Xbox1Controller_JoyPrefsFile_1118_645_0.zip

Using an original Xbox controller with USB adapter to OTG cable. GTA 3 doesn't work for me, sadly. I just get camera spin and some buttons do odd things.

You shouldn't need any third party software installed. As long as your devices supports usb hosting it should work. What Os version are you on?

Stop! I got an idea: buy a extension cable instead of doing it with the original breakawy if you want to use it on the xbox again... something like this
I dont know if someone pointed tha out yet, I dont have time to read it now...

That's normal. All you need to do is install USB/BT Joystick Center 6 and map the buttons to your needs. It also works perfectly on my rooted Galaxy Nexus

Why? Use this tut and you have both: http://www.ocmodshop.com/how-to-use-an-xbox-controller-as-a-usb-pc-gamepad/
Would this work on other phones such as sony xperia p
Simple question, but you are using the micro-usb slot right? Is it possible to charge and connect a controller at the same time?
Because well, I can't play games for any longer then 2hours, then my battery is dead.

There is a y cable I believe that can help you achieve this. I don't have the link or anything though

Charging with otg is kernal specific. If you have a usb extender cable, cut it where you want the charging port to be and solder in a 'y' with a male end. Only red and black need be connected. Leave green and white alone for the charging plug in.
Plug power in first, then the controller, then attach to your device.
I made one to use thumb drive and charge while traveling.
Works great on galaxy s3 with lean kernal.

Hello everyone,
I just recently bought Nexus 7 32gb and after seeing words of games being able to play with gamepad I wanted to buy something but still not sure which would work.
I am NOT gonna root my device, so I'd like some help/suggestion about what can I buy as a gamepad for my Nexus 7. Doesn't matter wired or wireless.
Although I have a wireless X360 controller for PC, not sure if it works, though.

I use a wired PC XBox 360 controller and it works great. I'd like to get a bluetooth controller so that I can charge my device while I'm gaming. During a long session of Dead Trigger, it can chew through quite a bit of battery.

Oh that's great to hear it. It'd be kinda hard to find a wired pc/xbox controller, i hope i can find one.
edit: does this would work for example?

I believe it would. I can't be positive though because my XBox controller is the PC version. Someone will come along and say for certain here before too long
