is there an accessory that will connect the phone to the car using the cars charger spot and the phones 3.5 mm ?
i dont have an aux input in the car, so im wondering if there is a workaround using the car charger type accessory
A car charger can not send audio to your stereo.(period)
You would be able to use an FM transmitter, but the quality of the output will be kind of sketchy. It's all about how much the sacrifice in quality compares to the enjoyment the listening will bring.

is there an aux input in the back of your radio? thats what i had to do? as far as fm transmitters i really didn't like the sound quality
if you have a tape player, you can get an adapter that will use the 3.5mm jack but the other end is shaped like a cassette tape, and will feed tunes through the head
it looks like this

IF they enable the built in fm it's going to be a receiver not a transmitter i'm afraid.
as for the OP, the cigarette lighter sockets in your car are power only, no audio. your options for getting audio to the car's head unit are
1) get a head unit with a 3.5mm aux input which is your best bet for quality
2) pull out your head unit and see if there is an aux input on the back
3) get a cassette adapter. the audio will be alright as long as you keep the volume output from your phone down. The adapters tend to distort at higher volume inputs.
4) fm transmitter. quality will be crap, but it will work.

I've searched, but can not find an answer to this.
I have one of those little adapters that lets me plug any 3.5mm earplugs into the Touch Pros USB port. There is no mic on the adapter, so when its plugged in, I can not make phonecalls. I was wondering if there is a way to use the built in mic of the TP while the adapter is plugged in?
Thank you
Any ideas? I hope what im asking makes sense?
I´m also wondering
Sorry to keep asking , but id really like to be able to use voice command and make phonecalls while the usb port is in use with the 3.5mm converter.
There is no way to force the TouchPro to use its own mic even when it thinks a headset is plugged in?
No. Buy a stereo headset with mic.
Or if you own a $6xx 3.5mm headphones then buy another USB converter with mic (see pictures below)

I searched eBay for a solution like what you are showing there, since i had a feeling it is what I'd need. I could not find it though. So i came here to ask. Its not that i have expensive headphones, its that i attach an FM transmitter to the 3.5mm port, while driving, and want to be able to still make phone calls and use Voice Command.
I would buy the USB converter with MIC that you pictures if i can find it.
Thanks
EDIT: noticed the picture was from expansys. Found the product, but its 15 euro. A lot more than the 3 euro i payed for 2 of the mic-less ones. Its annoying that i cant turn the TPs mic on for free

I saw you edited your post above. Yes, Seidio and Expansys are normally over-priced their stuffs. The worst here is both of them jump in bed together.
Thanks, the only place i can get it seems expansys.ie. The other two are American shops. (Im in ireland ).
I guess i will have to go for the cable. Still, out of curiosity, there is no way to force Windows Mobile or the TouchPro, or whatever is responsible, to not reroute the mic? It HAS to route both the mic and sound once the 'headset' is plugged in? There is no override somehow? Even if its a hack.
Cables for "mirror display" via Red-White-Yellow female jacks? (Infiniti G37 dash)
Has anyone successfully ran their Photon Q in "mirror display mode" via the micro-HDMI out port?
What hardware/cables are needed and can you provide an internet link for vendor/price?
I have a Infiniti G35 sedan and my DVD screen will take video/audio input from the three female ports in the armrest which are Yellow-White-Red.
I would like to display the Photon Q screen on my Infiniti G's DVD screen and hear the Photon Q audio through my Infiniti's G speakers.
Here is a pic of the center console female ports:

Thank you in advance for any assistance.
FYI, the audio would be really easy. You can just use the 3.5mm headphone jack with 2 RCA plugs on the other end, and audio is done.
Video... Not sure how that would work. Either way, that's 'composite' - so it'll look pretty awful.
You can get audio via the jack on top, and forget about Video, unless you use a really-expensive converter, as the HDMI video that comes out will be 540P YUV, whereas that composite input in your car is 480I Y/C.

I don't need Hi-Def video. I just want the Photon's Navigation displayed on my car's dash display.
How much is a converter and where can I get one?
Will a cable like this one below even display the video on my dash? How will it look?

You don't have component in (which that cable is). You have composite input to the stereo, you'll probably need some sort of converter while hoping that the phone doesn't require HDCP (I doubt it). Let us know!
Edit: Something like this might be exactly what you would need.

i have the same car 2009 also s4 i9505. i have Nokia N82 video cable but no video shown in my screen only audio so which cable can show the video for infiniti G37 screen in brake position
Hi,
If you know a bit of hardware you will find this usefull. The idea for the dock started quite simple: control the phone from the steering wheel using the USB port. Once that was ready the maker in me said:
"Hm, that is good but how cool would be to also charge the phone ... yeah USB Host and Charging does not work together but there have to be a way ..."
and once that was done again:
"Nah, it is crappy to put one cable for USB and another in the headphone jack for audio ... how cool it would be to channel the audio through USB also?"
And here it is how it all ended up (+lots of info how it works and how to build your own):

I believe it is plantronics brand, do not know the exact details ...it came broken in half (literally)
anyway - any usb dac will do (USB DAC == USB Soundcard) just check with OTG cable that you phone will recognize it and play musing throught it.
Cool stuff. Like mentioned before .. A bit too much for me to take on as I don't have enough free time to set up. If you got yourself into making and selling these then I think you'd be on to a winner. Thanks anyway.

If you are willing to:
* loose the ability to control the phone from the steering wheel
* loosing your cigarette lighter socket (a car charger should in there)
* have another cable hanging around for the car AUX
you may take a look at theiBolt docks - they can also charge the phone plus emit sound using the USB port (you do not have to connect another cable in the headphones output)

Cheers dude will look into it. Having steering wheel controls would be sweet though.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this in because this is my first post as a member but here we go. I noticed that when using my mono earbuds with my nexus 5 they work perfectly fine, but the stereo earbuds don't work at all. Is this a problem with just me or just a limited feature of the phone? The stereo earbuds sounding better to me than mono and I prefer them. Also, the stereo earbuds worked perfectly on my nexus 7(2012 edition). Please help, I'd like to use the pink ones.

First of all....Mono earbuds? I've never even heard of those. Anyway, I've never had any problem with any headphones I've used on the N5. There may be something wrong with either the headphones or the headphone jack on your N5.
Mono are the earbuds that transmit the same sound through both earbuds. Stereos transmit bass through one and treble through the other if I'm not mistaken. You can tell the difference between them by looking at the Jack of them and counting the number of rings they have. 3 rings=stereo 2=mono

I'm pretty sure Stereo actually has independent sound on each side (Left and Right).

I don't think you understand stereo.
Mono plays the same through left and right speakers
Stereo plays the left channel through then left speaker and the right channel through the right speaker.
To play stereo , you need a stereo recording, stereo amplifier and stereo headphones. Stereo was invented in the late 1800's and industry released recording, stereo has been the norm for many, many years.
I've never in my life come across mono headphones and I haven't seen a device produced that only plays mono (that isn't a single speaker radio or centre speaker on a 5 channel audio setup) in my lifetime. Some headphone jacks have additional sleeves above and beyond the number required for stereo. A mono jack has one sleeve, one ring and the tip like this

As you can see, the other end of this is stereo. You cannot plug a mono jack into a stereo socket because stereo socket will have a left and right connection which a mono jack would bridge together because the mono sleeve on a jack is the same size as the left AND right on a stereo jack combined.
So, yes the nexus 5 is stereo. All your headphones are stereo. Every "media player" with a headphone jack going back to the first ever Sony walkman in the early 1980's is stereo
Looking at HiFi speakers, some are bi-wired to separate the bass and the treble to different cones within the same speaker cabinet. You still get left bass and right bass if you're playing a stereo source. Maybe that's what you're confusing.

You need a digital device with line-in recording
Some one have documaentation of MTC_RK3188_REV0.3 board?
I buy a unit without any Micro SD card slot, the main board have connection for SD and GPS sd slots, I can made a SD boards
Right now I map the connectors pin to a board pins, but I need to know wich pin correspond to wich signal for SD card.
Connectors:

Or if some one have a similar unit and can be map the pins of the connector to a SD card slot I appreciate.
This looks like a fun hackaday post. It's almost making me want to pull my unit to take a few photos for future study.
I'm interested in the amp equipment. The preamp is weak in my RK3188. They claim 45wX4 or whatever but their own specs are that that's max but you begin to clip and introduce noise at only 16w! That's "12" on the volume dial.
It looks like the RCA outputs are low line outputs but they have them going to headrest tvs in the pictorial. I'm going to assume I can just take those and run them to a proper amp and get better sound quality out of this system.
Anyway, it'd be nice to know what electronics are doing the lifting. Right now if I crank it above about 12 I start to notice significant signal degradation in the highs. They get all fuzzy and just sound yukky.

Not sure. Is suspect they don't the high output is a function of the internal amp. I believe if you use the preamp outputs you bypass all of that.
I dug a little deeper and my biggest issue WAS bluetooth. If I used AirPlay/DLNA Receiver to stream over wifi the majority of the distortion goes away.
It's back to acceptable.

Ok thanks. Im using an external USB DAC with Neutron audio player (sounds absolutely awesome) with spdif out to my DSP but wanted to level-match the RCA outouts of the HU in my MiniDSP so Bluetooth telephone and FM Radio sounds as loud as the DAC... Best thing would be to be able to hear every single sounds of the Head Unit on the USB DAC, but so far only apps that use their own USB drivers are working.. (Neutron, USB Audio Player Pro, Hiby, Denon, etc)
I think its a Kernel issue.. USB Audio seems to be disabled on it. ?
Some news?
You have found the schematics or other documentation?
