Does anyone know if you can buy a phone holder, charger AND bluetooth FM transmitter for the Samsung Galaxy S? So far I have found one or the other but none in one device.
Can anyone recommend something? I basically want to have a phone holder in my car (that charges the phone) and be able to play MP3 music through my radio stereo (my car is old so it doesn't have bluetooth in it!).
Thank you....

I was thinking of getting this one myself

Or if you're not in the UK, then I'm sure that there's plenty of options available on eBay.

I was just wandering if there is anything I could buy out here that would let me play my music stored on my phone through my car's stereo. I have a 2002 Honda Accord without bluetooth. So If there a cord or something (similar to like an Ipod adaptor used in car steroes).
Just wandering cause right now my Car's CD player isn't working properly and not really wanting to buy a new Radio for my car.

You got a Link to the 1 you use? And how's the quality....
If you gat an fm transmitter, get one with smart scan. Smart scan will find the best frequency and set it for you. It saves a lot of head ache and frustration

Link would be beautiful! I know what you talking about tho, because I had an original Ipod back in the early 2000's and the FM Transmiter was a headache with it.
Just use Y cable with audio out and plug into the aux in of the car stereo... that is what I do! I have a cradle (in my '97 Honda Civic 1.8VTi) and I set the phone with g-profile to automatically start/close Mortplayer when I plug it in/off... awesome!

Hey, what about those Cassette Adaptors? Any1 know if that actually works with the Diamond?
I bought a Pioneer radio that will stream audio through Bluetooth. It's been one of the best things I have done to my truck. It syncs up for handsfree calls and audio.
Hi Guys, Does anyone know of an FM Transmitter for the Desire? Preferably not Bluetooth......
I would like to be able to play music from the Desire on my car stero but the stero doesn't have any ability to plug anything in and I have seen FM transmitters for other phones and would love one however I also use a bluetooth handsfree car kit (not built into the car) so ideally a USB one would be perfect but I am struggling to find one online.
Thanks
Max
You mean like this?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/LUPO-Portab...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1279204004&sr=8-2
That'll just plug into the headphone jack and there are hundreds like 'em around. You can get one as cheap as £3.

Yes like that
I actually found one late last night like that. My mistake was searching for a HTC Desire FM Transmitter rather then just a 'generic' one that works in a headphone port
Thanks. Think I will be getting one of them...
does anyone know if http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Car-FM-Transmitter-HTC-Hero-T-Mobile-MyTouch-3G-/130410380854?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item1e5d107e36 will work on the desire??
Honestly I would avoid the cheap hong kong ones. The aerial in the transmitter is tiny, and you'll get bags of static and hiss. I've wasted money on these before.
Look to spend at least £15 our I promise you'll be disappointed with the sound quality.
The Griffin iTrip auto universal plus is good. Powers from your cigarette lighter so no drop in gain from batteries going flat, and the plug for the cigarette lighter socket has a usb charging output so you can still charge your phone whilst having the fm transmitter plugged in.
There are hundreds of types or there, but my experience is; you but cheap, you buy twice.

Although as far as I know/read, the htc desire chip can also transmit FM. We just need an app for that I guess.
doesn't the bluetooth/fm radio chip in the desire also have a fm transmitter function like in the n900? an app/driver to unlock this function would be awesome
I've been using the following one for quite a while, as I was happy with it.

Now I have an aux input on my car stereo.
Hey guys,
Got a HTC Sensation, would like something which does
1. charge while in car
2. fm transmitter (I don't have bluetooth or aux in my car)
3. a holder in the car so I can use gps easier
I found this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-5mm-FM...613695?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c1d79eb7f
Any thoughts??
Any other suggestions?
I'm in Australia.
Many thanks!
Since that one is a universal dock, it seems to charge from the bottom since most phones do. The problem with that is the Sensation's charge port is on the side.
Also, I'm very very picky about audio and FM transmitters nearly always produce static or some kind of white noise.
My solution/reccomendation for cars without an AUX port is to pick up one of these bad boys: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Car-cassette-Adapter-3-5mm-plug-/110650779646?pt=AU_Electronics_Portable_Audio_Accessories&hash=item19c34ce7fe
It's a cassette tape that provides you with an aux cable.
Then to cover your mounting needs, just get something like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Car-Mount-Holder-Charger-HTC-Sensation-Incredible-S-/190560511133?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2c5e4aa49d
And it even comes with a car charger.
If you are worried about wires and want this to be a stationary installation, use black zip ties.
If you have any questions or want other suggestions, let me know.
Thanks for the reply constrabus.
Problem is...I don't have a cassette player in the car.
I got something similar off of amazon a few years ago for my MT3G. The FM transmitter worked just fine. I now use it with my Sensation 4G, but my newer truck has an aux. jack so I don't use the FM anymore. The one I got plugs directly into the lighter jack and then I run a USB cable from the side into my phone. I have had it for several years without a problem. Go for it.
I have a fm transmitter with a 3.5 jack I plug it in and it doesn't go in all the way and only plays the left side. Same thing on my EVO but on my transform it goes all the way in and plays both sides. Any ideas on how to fix it.

Hi guys,
I know there were several threads about this theme, but I thought it might be a good idea to have a summary after almost a year that the device is on the market. I love my I9000, but...
I would like to have a docking station for my Samsung I9000 int. edition just like so many beautiful ones for iPhone. Is there anything similar available on the market which would work as simple as iPhone docking stations: you plug your phone in, choose your music and you get a decent sound from the speakers on the docking station. I was not able to find one. Any help?
It would not hurt if it did the charging at the same time.
What would be in your experience the best solution for this? I would not mind connecting sound line through 3.5 mm jack plug, but what is in your opinion the best solution for < 100 €/$/UK pounds?
Thanks for any advice/help/suggestions...
Pavana
i know that there is the one where u connect it to the micro usb slot but I dont know if it will work fro Galaxy s
A docking station is so early 2000s.
And Samsung made it hard for everyone by putting the usb slot on top of the phone.
Just to re-activate the thread:
I must admit, I am so 2000-ish that I would like to have a docking station (potentially with a loudspeaker that does more than just krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk ) and
this is the only thing I envy those iPhone guys who I can not stand.
So, once again: any suggestions for a dockingstation with some kind of a decent music outcome. Must not be for I9000, but should be usable with I9000 giving decent sound for not more than 60-70 USD (if it is more, than I might just get one from B&O or any other highly-priced that you would kindly suggest).
Regards,
Pavana
You'll have a hard time finding one of those for the i9000/android phones. Best way is to buy this cable and get any cheap iphone/ipod dock
Where I can buy orginal docking station in good price of course?
There's no such thing as a "original docking station" for the Galaxy S.
OK, we got all screwed up with samsungs stupid headphone jack on the top side. But, amongst ourselves we can exchange experience about what is the best combination: We know that we have to charge the batteries independently from music playing. Among all the docking stations, who has good experience with which type of the docking station for the quality of music output when we hook up independently power supply and audio output. Is there any any good Bose system that give GOOD sound output (every power supply will eventually fulfill the function). Do we have to go for the expensive Bose system or are there any (closely) adequate loudspeaker systems which we can hook up to our i9000 to give us good music at home (Sennheiser headphones should do the trick on the go)?
In another words: I have decent Sennheiser earphones for listening to the music from my I9000, but, when it comes to home/lousspeaker system which one would you recommend I can hook up my I9000 to get a decent audio output ? (if you are suggesting Bose systems - which would would you recomennd?).( I do understand that there are no I9000 only docking stations that would give good acoustic output and charge the battery simoultaneously, but I can hook up the battery charger independently of the music output).
As for my earphones - I have a model that has only ear-loudspeakers but no microphone for answering phone - which model would you recommend in order to be able to answer my phone through a microphone on the speaker as well?)
Regards,
Pavana

the original samsung desktop dock exists...
Hi Guys!
This desktop dock can be ordered at Amazon:
Being a noobsta I can't insert the link, so search for:
"Samsung Galaxy S T-Mobile T959 Vibrant Desktop Dock Cradle in Retail Packaging" in google or on amazon.
And actually I could buy it at an official Samsung retailer here in Hungary, so it should be available in other places as well.
There is a truly crap official Samsung App for it, but it is useless.
On the other hand there is an App on the market called Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector.
Once again no link from me, but you can find the app on the market.
The dock has a micro usb for charging and a jack output for audio and with this great app you can redirect the sound to go through the analogue output at the back of the dock.
However now, since I've flashed to ICS 4.0.3 (I9000_STOCKPLUS_ICS_RC4-PLUS) I can't use the app. There is an error message saying "Cannot find supported rom or kernel". I contacted the dev and got the info that it should work on Glitch kernel. I'm still not sure what ICS ROM and kernel combo I should be using so the app is not working yet.
Anyone who has the recipe could share it with us...
Oh and another thing: the usb port on the dock can only be used for charging. You can't connect to PC with it. I donno if this a hardware or software issue, but it would be great if you could truly dock to the PC. Anyone with an experience?
The docked SGS looks really good on your desk
hey guys i just bought this cheap cheesy thing, and i rarely do this anymore, because probably 1 out of every 5 times items like this are DOA...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ATAIUU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
what do you guys think? i was just sick of all the cables in the car and while i will probably still have to use the charging cable obviously, i like having my device upright in the mount, and this will eliminate the need to put the stereo jack UPRIGHT in the air.
does anyone else use anything similar?
the reasons i chose this one is: my car charger will charge it, and it uses a simple stereo headphone jack. they are right next to each other in my car. also my car shuts off the charging ports when the engine isnt running, so it will be hassle free for me.
I use something similiar I got off of ebay. Works great! Pairs automatically when i get in the car and if I get a call, the bluetooth headset overrides the music. PERFECT! Youll be happy you ordered it.

Very nice I will be getting one
See my signature for my reviews on the Nokia BH series. I've had one in my car for the last 2 years as my BT hands free/BT Streaming for decent price. It has worked great for a long time for me.
FYI: it DOES require you to have an AUX In port.
