Hello!
When I plug my Touch Pro into an active Adapt carholder the sound output of my touch is forced to the charger (no sound output anymore on my mobile).
Is there any way around this? Any registry setting?
Or maybe remove some of the pins from the mini-usb connector on the charger?
Try getting HTC's official dongle which plugs into the USB port and gives you several connectors;
USB for charging
3.5mm headphone socket
2.5mm mini-headphone socket
USB for HTC's original supplied headphones
If you use this, you can plug in headphones at the same time as charging. I use it to route sound through to my car stereo so I can use the phone as an MP3 player and Sat-Nav.
If you don't use the headphone sockets, sound still comes out through the main speaker on the phone.
Hmm I have one of those, but the car charger I use is a slide-in holder, so there won't be much room for the dongle
Microphone unuseable when plugged into stereo
I use the usb dongle adaptor in my car to push sound through the stereo, however this disables the HTC Touch Pro microphone so although I can hear people calling in (through the car speakers) they cannot hear me.
I think it is because the phone thinks the headphones are plugged in and that I'd use the headphone microphone.
Does anyone have a tweak which would allow the phones microphone to remain in action when using the dongle?
Many thanks

I don't have that problem at all, my phone's microphone works fine while using the USB dongle with a 3.5mm jack plugged into it, connected to my car stereo.
Are you using HTC's official dongle, the one with the 3.5mm, 2.5mm USB power and USB headphone sockets?
It works fine for me!

I'm on my second Audio adapter from Pocket PC Techs: http://www.pocketpctechs.com/detail.asp?Product_ID=PPCPADPT01. The first one would sometimes only play the left or right speaker and I'd have to jiggle the wire on the adapter for it to play properly. I returned this for a second one which worked fine up until last week when it started to pop the speakers in the car when the slightest jostling of the wire occured (hitting bumps). I've got it connected to the XDA 2 and then to a cassette adapter with 3.5mm jack in the car. The cassette adapter works fine on the iPAQ H3970 and the XDA 2 works perfectly with the included stereo headset. Another problem with the PPCTechs audio adapter is that the microphone doesn't work in the 2.5mm headset jack part.
I know there are people out there who have canibalized their included stereo headsets to make audio adapters and also people who have made their own USB adapters with audio out capabilities. Is anyone interested in making one for me?! I can send a canibalize-able stereo headset with the proper audio jack if needed.
I would like either:
- A modified stereo headset cable with microphone that connects to a female 3.5mm stereo headset jack.. or directly to a car cassette adapter.
...or...
- A serial port connection that can output stereo audio to a 3.5mm female audio jack, includes a microphone or 2.5mm mono headset jack, and provides charging capabilities.
I imagine the former choice would be easier, but none of my local electronics repair shops want to do it and I don't have the tools or experience to do it right. The latter would be nicer. I'd buy a car kit, but I havn't seen any that work with the XDA2 and provide audio out that can connect to the car stereo. I want both stereo music/movies to be played in the car stereo speakers as well as GPS navigation commands and (sometimes) phone calls... and I want Voice Command to work (hence the need for a microphone)!
Please PM me with costs if some one can do this for me.
Adamz- Did you push in the connector from the Audio all the way in? I used the handsfree set ( supplier with MMDA II) and it was not working properly and was also loose until I found that you have to really push it firmly.
I am suprised if you did do that and it still does not work as you said it has all the connectors
I am also looking for a similar solution using the same principle. The other sync input I use for mt GPS connector/ charger . was going to try the Audio adaptor that you are using with a mute box through to a speaker .
Can any one help?
Adamz:-
Did you read this topic?
Maybe this might work for us.

Nah, I want stereo quality music to be played in the existing speakers in my car. I also want GPS navigator instructions to be played in the car stereo as well as phone calls. I've got a Bluetooth GPS reciever, so I don't really need a serial connection.
The PPCTechs adapter is fully inserted into the audio jack, although sometimes pushing it too far makes it stop working as well! But if I jiggle the wire, sometimes it does work... then if I hit a bump, maybe it will stop working.
I'm thinking the USB Cradle with Audio might be good. If that's got a 3.5mm female stereo jack in the back, I can plug the casette adapter into that. Plug the USB into a cigarette lighter adapter... and that should be all set sinc the Audio USB cradle supposedly has a microphone in it.
Those don't seem to be available yet though.

I am wondering if it is possible to use the USB connection on the Tilt for attcahing it to external speakers. Is there any audio output directed throgh the USB port?
If not, can anyone recommend a blue tooth device that will allow communication from the Tilt and end up into an Ipod style jack that I can then plug into the Ipod port of the stereo system in my truck? (No factory blue tooth.)
Thanks to all.

Tilt's USB port has audio out. I use 8525's usb headset that I had laying around to listen to songs at work.
Thanks for the reply!
I will try to find a headset. I can then cut the headphones and attach an audio input instead of the earphones.
Can you recommend a brand other than the factory set?
Also, would anyone know where I can find the USB port layout?
Thanks again to all.
I cut the usb plug off my old htc herald headphones and put a 3.5mm jack on the other end. I then bought a cheap mp3 dock with speakers. Plug the usb jack into the tilt and the 3.5mm into the dock. The sound is pretty darn good. The dock works off 4 aaa batteries and gives me 8 hours of tunes. heres a pic with my old mda in it, it works just fine with my tilt also.
Someone should make a HTC dock with speakers that runs off batteries so its portable. I bet they could sell a few.
Adapters for the Tilt/8925 are available all over the web. USB on one end, 2.5mm or 3.5mm on the other. You can get them for 6 bucks here: http://www.tiltdepot.com/

I have a kaiser and just got the usb to 3.5mm adapter for 7bucks. I have a tape deck in my car so I bought a ipod tape to 3.5mm adapter now I have music and can run tomtom too even at the same time through the car speakers. I like that dock too!
Hi!
i connected my phone to my car speakers via a mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter and i was wondering if i could use the microphone of the phone because this registers it as a headset and is expecting a mic from it.
it would be great to take phone calls through the external speakers.
never heard of it being possible
but then also didn't believe it was possible
to use the normal speaker when a headset
was connected but thats possible on some
phones where the headset is antenna for the fm radio
I use the factory HTC Fuze 3.5mm audio jack dongle that came with the phone, and I am able to use the phone's mic by default while audio-out is interfaced with my car stereo. The audio comes through the car speakers. I have been told by the caller on the other end that it sounds no different than me using a bluetooth headset.
Hey guys, I have my old Orbit 2 (Polaris) car mount in my car for use with my ne DHD (which is an absolute perfect, tight, unobtrusive fit btw!). I have a usb charging cable and phono-to-phono cable hooked up behind my dash to allow for charging and audio through my car stereo. Thing is the calls arent great for the other caller (I have to put on loudspeaker for the caller to hear me speak), possibly due to sensitivity of the DHD mic.
Anyway, I was wondering does anyone know where I might get a good long AUX + mic cable such as the one that comes with this car holder ... http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/windowseat-handsfree
I want to see if this will have a better mic sensitivity and pick up my voice better while driving.

You need something like this:
http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/009-243.htm
The price on this one is a rip-off but that's basicaly what you need to get it running. Plug it in the phone, then plug the cable you already have installed in the headphones output and you need to buy a good quality microphone, plug it in the other female connector and then install it in your car so it can pick up your voice.
Or if you don't use your stock headphones and you are good with the soldering gun, you can buy two female 3.5mm stereo connectors, cut the headphones cable and make the y-cable yourself. Or even use the headphone's microphone and install just one female jack, connected to the headphones' cables. You can try if the headphones' mic will work - just plug them in, point the microphone to yourself where you intend to install it, start the engine and call someone.
The headphone jack on the G Tablet works with a typical headphone or speakers, as long as you connect it with the right plug.
If you connect a headset with a microphone, to this jack - will that work too?
Will the audio out come into the headset?
Will the audio in go in via the headset microphone?

Wondering the same thing myself but have nothing to test it with.
Nope. I tested with my hands free set in my car and no go. I put my hand over the mic (which is way sensitive BTW) and could only record from internal mic.
Headset/mic combos with one plug are meant for phones. Their input jacks are wired to spk and mic channels.
Headset/mic combos with two plugs are for computers and each plug must go in the right input on the PC.
The GTablet is much more computer than phone, although many of us are using sip apps to MAKE it a phone too.
Our headphone jack is just that, a headphone jack.
