I have the Avin Avant-4 with their WCPAA dongle. It connects my Samsung with Android Auto through USB and wirelessly or with USB for my wife's iPhone through Apple Car Play.

Nexus 7 & Jelly Bean support USB audio docks

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/30/gear4-speaker-dock-supports-usb-audio-for-jelly-bean-at-google-i/
This should bring us a lot of new accessories in the long run. I could see manufacturers coming out with adapters to fit micro-usb and apple 30-pin dock connectors on the same device.
Seems more future proof than iPhone docks and accessories. Especially if Apple moves to a smaller dock connector as rumored. Micro USB will be around for a while.

Never understood the point docks unless as a bedside alarm or similar especially those who then control the phone via a remote - why??? I use bluetooth to stream because then you have all the controls at your fingertips ie the phone!
well if the new phones start to use this then we call can just hook up our phones to our car aux ports. I have my ipod like this now. I use a digital out to aux that also has usb power so I can charge the ipod. If we can get this for android, I would love to change over to a android player for my car.

Why? I guess for battery purpose ;-)

Any word when the original samsung Car Dock with usb injector is coming out?

I had the note 1 and the samsung car dock with usb injector was perfect, the note slided into place and conected to the usb injector perfectly.
Its good when you use the car a lot for short trips and you need an easy car dock charger.
all other car holders are useless as i need the charging feature without having to connect the usb cable every time...
I cant find the new samsung card dock for the galaxy note 2 anywhere or any dates when it is coming out!
....Any ideas?
No idea, but I hope soon. I want this phone, but without a car dock it's going to be hard for me
Yeah! ive been waiting too. I guess you are not the only one. But will it charge slower for our galaxy note 2? cuz its using 2A charger? can the ciggrate lighter support 2A?

My in-car charger is 3A but it's wired in to the fuse box. Check your fuse box for the cigarette lighter to see what it will take before blowing, I imagine at least 5A.
Any update on this?
This is the single thing preventing me from getting this device.
They have sold over 3 million Note II's and they still don't have an official car dock?
I use my phone way too much in my car to settle for junk. I want landscape mode capable dock with USB injector and a good charger as we all know we should get from Samsung. If we get an official dock I'm getting a Note II ASAP.
PS: does this phone support Apt-x bluetooth audio?
I spent some coin on the HTC bluetooth adapter and it works fantastic with my EVO 4G LTE's bluetooth 4.0 with Apt-x... if it would work with this phone I'd do a jig.

Yes it does support APT-X.
I am also hoping to see the dock soon. I used it with my original Note and am missing it now.

Somebody made it work with an original dock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974048
I think that looks fugly however. Are there any docks that use landscape orientation or is it pretty much portrait across the board with this phone? I think landscape is so much better...
Edit: I see that it is capable of landscape rotation

I don't think I've heard of this protocol. What does APT-X Support do for us?

Standard bluetooth stereo audio is usually terrible compared to plugging directly into the headphone jack. Apt-X (only with compatible devices, example: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Stereo-Clip-On-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B0057WWK5E ) gives much better quality sound.
Car mode removed on Galaxy Note 2
All, we at iBOLT (manufacturer of car-docks) have been checking into the Jellbean Kernel and for some reason Samsung does not support car-mode or aux-out through the microUSB and car-mode at this time. If you want these features, please contact Samsung so we can put some pressure to have these features reinstated. Technically it would be very simple to do so for Samsung.

Hay Mikael thanks for taking such a close interest in our crasy community's feedback. I would count on a mod being available soon for us to use if we have a car dock with intergrated usb aux out. Although if Samsung wont enable this you cant advertise it but its a safe bet one of us is going to get a weekend itch and scratch out a mod.

At least one person has reported the Note II working with the same cable provided with the S3 iBolt car dock. Perhaps some kernels from different carriers still have support built in? Post in question seems to be referring to the T-Mobile version.
Can you use NFC to trigger Car Mode?

I'm using a NFC tag to open Car Home Ultra which triggers car mode. It also sets the brightness and screen timeout settings.

I used to have Note 1 and original Samsung car mount for it. Now i use that same car mount for my Note 2. It's not ideal fit, but it works good enough. Can be used in both, portrait and landscape mode.

I am not seeing this result, but I have the Sprint version of the Note 2. Sounds like there are some different kernels floating around with different features. I have been able to "force" car mode by getting creative (and a little stupid) and restoring the "Dock Mode" app from my HTC Evo 3D (thank you Titanium Backup) and running that app's "Car Mode" activity as a short cut, but the only way to get it out of car mode at that point is to reboot
I'm hoping for a little bit cleaner method of doing this in the near future.

Android Auto and USB Type C

What are peoples thoughts on the compatibility of new phones with USB Type C and aftermarket head units such as Pioneer? Would it be as simple as getting a new USB Type C wire that plugs into the USB on the head unit? Or do you think it will bork the whole system and we'll have to wait for neither Google or Pioneer to issue and update?
USB-C is fully backwards compatible, because of this I don't foresee any issues?

It should work just fine. You could probably just get a cable like this one and call it a day:

Using it fine here (Nexus 6p, USB C to USB A cable, pioneer AVH-X8700bt).

I've got a 6P (stock but rooted) and an 8100NEX. It works just fine. It's a USB 3.1 -> USB-C cable and I've had not one issue.
I've also got a nexus 6p stock 6.0.1 using a pioneer AVIC-F77DAB with no issues. I did have an issue at the start using an aftermarket USB-C cable I purchased of ebay but once I switch the cable out to the one I got with the phone it works like a dream

On a related note, it would be nice if the unit supported Quick Charge

I've got a Pioneer 8100NEX and it works fine with the USB-A -> USB-C cable I bought. I've had no issues and it does the "Rapidly Charging" thing. I would assume all of the NEX series do if the 8100 does.
:good:
Ah, thats good to know! I hope the new JBL unit does that too

Never mind i found the answer... Need Nokia own cable / expensive cable to work.. cannot use cheap cable any more
It works for me and I'm using the short USB C cable that came with the Nexus 6P.
Working for me, using cheap 1,5 m cable from DX.com

Question Usb 2.0 again?

Does mi11 support hdmi out via usb-c dongle or Xiaomi is still on usb 2.0 like it's the year 2000?
It's Type C 2.0
Disgusting.
I can understand for lower end phones, but not for something you market as "flagship killer"
No flagship phone on this planet comes with tech from 20 years ago
Yes, I've got Xiaomi 11
That's a shame. Mi 11 was supposed to be the one without compromise
Taking the piss to save 5$
Nice, no USB-C 3.x / no VideoOut... Come on Xiaomi... What year is it? Even OnePlus devices have 3.x now... What a shame... Next phone will be an OnePlus :/
dealbreaker

I have but sure some's tv not have wireless display.
You could try DisplayLink
I'm close to buy one of these adapters. On youtube there are few videos that show how fast is that and you can play android games on TV with no lag.
Display Link doesn't even come close to direct hdmi dongle.
usb 2.0 in 2021..a disgrace. can't be called "Flagship" killer with tech from 20 years ago
