I decided a while ago to use my Nexus 7 as my head unit in my 2006 Legacy 3.0R. This is the result.
Audio is done via a Kenwood FM modulator, and bluetooth streaming to the pre-existing Parrot system as a backup.
In the near future I'm going to mount a 3G-wifi hotspot and Seagate Satellite wifi hard drive in the glove box for internet and media streaming.
Video and better pics coming later tonight
reserved for more pics/video
I really wanted to use the nexus 7 with my car install. But limited storage, and no usb otg/charge at same time. If that was possible it would be in my dash now.
Im going to use a galaxy tab 2 since it can take a 64gb sd. Really wish there was a solution.
But nice, clean install. Im adding mine to my Dodge Magnum.

Segate Goflex Satellite or the Kingston Wi-Drive will solve my storage issues. For now 16GB is enough for just music.
Id like to hear about your experience with that Seagate satellite. It would be nifty to stream that to tablet via wifi and tablet to Kenwood cd player via bluetooth. Talk about ultimate right there, mhm...

Ive also used my Nexus as my media player in my Toyota 86 (FR-S), im using a JVC KD-X50BT which has bluetooth and its just media player so no CD drive which is behind the tablet and it has two USB plus. I use one USB for external USB drives and the other one is for the bluetooth which my cellphone is paired it so i can receive calls while driving. The tablet is plugged into the AUX port for the sound, but the tablet is powered by a mini USB charger 2.1amp in my extra cigarette plug. Im using my cell as a hot spot so that i can stream pandora, netflix, google maps..etc through the tablet. also to contol the volume of my radio thats tucked in the back i used an IR repeater for my remote which i can also change from AUX to USB. Here is what it looks like in the car..
The IR repeater
Damn those are some clean installs.
Good job guys.

It's not really an issue. The tablet turns on and stays on when it connects to power (when the car turns on), then it turns off after a 30 sec timeout once I turn the car off.
As for volume, I usually just leave it on max but there are plenty of widgets on Google Play that can be used to control the volume.
Unfortunately I do need to clip the panel out to turn it off and on, but I don't anticipate needing to to that too often.

Do you have more pic of your instal ? Inside ?
I want to do this in my Toyota Prius Gen III so badly! I just have NO IDEA where to start. I'm excellent with computers, tablets, and phones, but I know nothing about car audio/fabrication etc.
Therefore, I ordered a Monoprice bluetooth receiver and a Nexus 7 Vent mount off eBay for $15. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221123164714?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 This will work in the mean time but I REALLY WANT TO FAB a custom front panel and get rid of that weird looking slim slot thingy. (i think they call it a cd drive or something)

Hey guys, just figured I would share my findings for this morning
http://1saleaday.com/wireless/
(Note: that link is only for today, because the contents on that page change daily)
I have these headphones for the past year and I love them! Not sure if anyone else wants a pair or not, but I paid $120 for them when I got them, so I'll be picking up a pair to just have a spare set for a price like that
I have NOT used them for listening to music with the Note 2 yet, but I have used it with my computer and with my old iphone via bluetooth and work great. I have picked up a few calls and spoken through them several times with the Note 2, but no music playback as I simply do not have any music on it lol
Tiger direct have them for 29.99 shipped

Hey guys!
So before owning an xperia z, i had the galaxy note (great phone) and i'd run my music through an AUX cable so it would come out through the car speakers (i ain't got blue-tooth in the care).
Now since I've got the xperia z, its becoming a hassle to open and close the flaps every time. So i wanna know if there is a device out there that's can act as a bridge? Xperia > device (via blue-tooth) >AUX cable > Car.
preferably the device should be small, no bigger then a pc mouse.
So yeah, if any has any info or something that's similar or better please share:fingers-crossed:
like you, i'm waiting for this
http://www.sonymobile.com/it/products/accessories/stereo-bluetooth-headset-sbh20/
There are other ones already sold in Sony Mobile but they are more expensive
Personally have been using this one.
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/mw600/
Works great. Essentially the same thing as previously mentioned. Just go for whichever is cheaper.

I'm using this in my car: http://www.avantalk.com/products02.php?id=62
It's working great to stream music from the XZ. Works also with Youtube, Digitally Imported, ...
u can use another smartphone with google music and connect it to your car
Something like this?

Or upgrade your headunit to one with integrated Bluetooth.
Some of the adapters (like the one above) do have some issues with automatic connection/reconnection when the car powers on... But that's the general type of device you're looking for, search around and check reviews.

I have the MW600 (came with my wife´s SonyEricsson phone some years ago), and works perfectly apart from it does not work with the micro USB charger cable attached.
You need to charge it, then disconnect it from the charger to use it. Would be perfect if would work with the charger cable in and would power on with the charger plugged in (read, ignition on).
Overlooked this when buying the tablet, supprised there was no adaptor included. Are they assuming all the buyers are S10 users?
Anyway, will any adaptor work or does it have to be one from Samsung?

The adaptor has to have a dac built in or it will not work with the tablet same with the note 10
The Note 10 dongle has a DAC built in. It should work for the tab s6. I have one ordered right now.
I have USB C audio adapter from Huawei Mate 20 Pro, but when i connect it to the tablet, a message appears that the usb device is not supported.
I have S5e, but it should apply S6
I have few different USB C headset adapter for Pixel and HTC U11 Life, both work as it's supposed to
As much as I hate to say it, the cheap Apple one is one of the best you can get unless you're willing to spend quite a bit more. Did a bunch of reading after I ordered my Note 10+, tests put the Apple one ahead of the Google ones and plenty of others that cost 5 times as much as the Apple one. Works well, but as with all things Apple the cable is going to fray within a year. I added a silicone stress relief that covered the entire cable since I had a bag of them, maybe it'll last two years.
have 2 of those
none are working with korean LTE S6
any idea why?
thanks
Bought this one works perfectly.

Oddly enough, the Middle eastern versions (and most probably Europeans) got a type C headphones in the box, i myself bought from Bahrain and we got a type C headphones, albeit the cheap kind but hey it works
USB C connector has analog headphone connection
They are switched in with some sense ID magic, but there is left, right, and microphone analog wires. You can find the details in a search.
Any cheap (non-DAC) headphone adapter should work as it is just the right wiring and maybe a few resistors on the right pins. I have one that works.

What's going on 8T friends? I was hoping you guys might have some input and/or recommendations for a *GOOD* headphone dongle...one that has been tested to work without issue, specifically with this phone - the OnePlus 8T.
I want to start by apologizing for the super long-winded post!!! I also want to preface this by saying there is a possibility my issue may not lie w/ my current adapter, but possibly w/ my car's (old) aftermarket head unit...though I think it's unlikely given its never had an issue w/ any other phone or dongle.
*EDIT: I suppose it's also possible that there's some firmware issue & perhaps an update might resolve it, but I'm at the mercy of T-Mobile US & their *SLOW* update schedule. International phones have had like 4 updates in a month, & we've only had the day one update (still no AOD!).
I know it should be something super simple and there's likely many, *MANY* similar threads in other devices' forums, along w/ OnePlus Community & Reddit as well. But *please*, just hear me out. I feel like a dumb**s for even having to post this. There's crazy inconsistency w/ what's supposed to be a f***ing universal standard...this s**t is far from working universally!
I've had experience with 3 separate models of adapter w/ my previous phone, the OnePlus *7 Pro* (on Android 10). With the 7 Pro, I found that the Essential Phone's dongle worked flawlessly in every scenario I need it for. It's less expensive than the official Oneplus branded one, & generally just of better quality, w/ a thicker braided cable. I also had the official a OnePlus dongle which also worked perfectly w/ my old 7 Pro, but I lost the damn thing...plus, it's just too expensive, & OnePlus doesn't even have it in stock?!?! I also used the Apple dongle - surprisingly cheaper than OnePlus' dongle, but the volume level was permanently way too low, w/ no way to resolve that (I tried for nearly a month). The Apple one has long since been returned.
I am currently still using the Essential dongle as it's the only one I haven't yet lost or returned, but I'm running into a strange issue on both my phone & my girl's 8T as well (both are T-Mobile branded 8Ts, the "8T+5G", which is the exact same hardware the rest of the world gets, just w/ different firmware). The Essential dongle is flawless w/ the 7 Pro, & also flawless when just plugging it in to regular headphones - but when hooking it up to an aux cable & plugging it into our car's old, aftermarket head unit to play music or videos, there is a completely random/intermittent issue where whatever app is playing audio will pause itself, & then more often than not it'll also start making this crazy, strange, squealing distortion sound...but no longer any actual audio. This occurs regardless of what app we're using to play music or videos (YouTube Music, regular YouTube, Spotify, etc.). It seems to be totally random, sometimes working fine for a bit, but then going completely haywire...and once it's starts happening, it just won't quit. Sometimes switching to another app will start it, sometimes an incoming text message will start it, & sometimes it'll do it all by itself. This happens w/ USB OTG enabled or disabled, & I've tested it w/ 3 separate aux cables.
I'm at a loss, & I just wanted to get someone else's input before buying like 5 random ones of Amazon or eBay. We're at the point where we're just listening to old CDs because we can't stream anything current, & we're too broke to replace a head unit just to find that's not even the issue. *THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MADDENING*.
I would just buy the OnePlus dongle again, but they can't be bothered to keep it in inventory...at least for customers in the US. Any thoughts at all on what the issue could be would be infinitely appreciated, asking w/ dongle recommendations as well of course.
*THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME RAMBLE!!!*

Thank you so much for your reply. I noticed you mentioned analog. Do you think the issue might be from the Essential one being active? That never occurred to me...I always assumed active ones would be better, instead of relying on the phone's DAC. You might be on to something there! Thanks again

I went to best buy and tested the Google and apple dongles. . The apple one sounded great but suffered from the low volume issue. The Google one sounded great and had no low volume issue. I kept that one. Returned the apple one.
It works flawlessly. Is $12. It also has a great Soundstage and volume. No problems here in anyway.
Also, just as a heads up, I use it with PowerAmp and it sounds great really. I have a lg v20 for when I want the best sound but this does the trick for when I'm just trying to not have a million peripherals.

It's just a heads-up

Sound is distorted with default settings, but when you use the following settings, you will love this combo
DVC enabled
OpenSL Hi res having USB DAC enabled
Press the gear and bypass EQ
I wondered why I didn't purchase Poweramp license?
