Can this be done? If I plug a USB dongle with A2DP capability into my car's stereo USB slot. And stream music to the dongle.. It's a bit technical 'cause I don't know what the car unit will see the dongle as.
I'm just day-dreaming ..
Dreaming.
Your car radio will only accept USB MSC (mass storage), ie. thumb drive.
You'll need to upgrade to a car radio with inbuilt b/tooth - you'll love it!
But I'm waiting to upgrade my car! That's why I'm looking for a cheap solution. Saving cash possibly for a Z4 next year. Hehehe

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/
adapter
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!
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.
I'm don't want to make a lot of music CDs for my car, I was wondering if there is any way I can connect my phone's mp3 player to the car speakers?
Does your car have an aux input? (typically two inputs - white and red), or possibly even jack input.
No idea :|
I only know of that "input" that fires cigaretes where you can connect the mini usb charger for the desire
I have a peugeot 307
Edit: nvm i checked on the net and it seems i have neither of those inputs. Just a simple CD player and fm radio.
Any other way?

so, do you not have a cigarette lighter input? you really should do lol. what car do you have?
you have a few options though.
if you don't have an aux input or anything like a headphone jack sort of input then you can get Belkin FM transmitter. I've just done a quick amazon search and one has come up specifically for desire, which could be good - one good review on amazon. However, I've never tried it.
Specifically for Desire: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Generation-...GTAI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1292787497&sr=8-1
If not, try the Belkin FM transmitters. There's a few different types, mainly for iPod/iPhone which are called iTrips. But obviously, don't get that if its for your Desire. Just search for Belkin FM Transmitter and make sure it has a headphone jack not an iPhone/iPod connection.
Word of warning, FM Transmitters work on the principle that you set the frequency on the 'gadget' then tune your FM Radio into that frequency on the car. Best way to do it, out of past use, is to have it right next to the radio and use the volume controls on the phone more than on the radio itself.
If you don't have a cigarette lighter, you can get one without it which will work, but not as well.
Hope this helps.

Bluetooth carkit with aux inputs is the way to go mate (3.5mm plug and iphone plug are pretty much standard these days), whilst you're at it get a suction screen mount too. Permanent handsfree!!
Buy anew stereo that's got Bluetooth streaming.

A stereo with aux-in slot should be more than enough tho (bt ones are a little more expensive), you can grab one with less than 80$.
cheap solution
my car player has AUX in therefore i just connect a 3.5mm Stereo Audio Cable Male-Male (1-Meter) cable and connect the player and my HTC Desire. Its so far good and clear.
I had a Peugeot 307 and it had an AUX in 3.5 socket, it was in the center of the car between the seats on the back of the console bit not on the stereo it's self.

FM wireless transmitter
Hi there
Depending in which country you are you could by a small FM transmitter that you plug into the Desire and listen through your car FM radio.
They are permitted in the UK, but not in many other countries. I got mine from TK Maxx... (hahaa!) for £9.99 and the sound in my car is almost as good as my cd player!
Go to Amazon, Ebay... theres plenty there!
My head unit unit syncs with my phone via bluetooth so I play music that way.
On previous phones/stereos I had an rca to 3.5mm cable that I ran from the phone to thee aux input on the back of the head unit.

I just bought a 2013 Nissan Altima with the technology package. I'm picking the car up on Thursday and I just ordered an S3. In the center console, there is a USB audio port. Will I be able to utilize the USB to play either music on the SD card or Pandora?
I think you would need the dongle to get audio out of the USB but that cars radio should pick up Bluetooth if not it may have the input headphone jack in dash
Congrats on a new car

Yes, it does have Bluetooth audio. I wonder if the text will show on the radio with Bluetooth though?
I bought the ibolt car dock. It has a 9' cable that splits into two.. one USB and one aux cable. I also just upgraded my stereo in my truck that has a USB & aux. It is suppose to be able to stream music through either. When I hooked up the stereo, I plugged in both. I called the ibolt co. And they said its probably confusing the head unit. Either way... it's super to play through either one. BT works awesome.

And on mine, it does have artist and song info on the deck (BT) with Pandora, Google music or iheart. Sirius won't show doing info though.

You won't be able to mount your phone like you could other devices without some tinkering, using the cars usb port. It will charge the phone, albeit slower than some cig lighter usb chargers you can buy.
Via bluetooth you should be able to see the text while playing the music. Even use the stereo controls. This is on the upgraded sound system mind you. With nav i know you are golden, with technology and non nav, not 100% certain. Just make sure you have A2DP (bluetooth audio, not just bluetooth phone) and you should be ok.

I got the top of the line Altima with every possible option. It has the technology package with Nav.
I have a BOSE stereo with a USB port that normal takes input from a 30 pin apple cable (ipod or other piece of proprietary garbage). So, I now need a new generation A2DP bluetooth dongle that will connect to the 30 pin end of said cable, with the USB end plugged into the stereo. This should theoretically allow me to stream A2DP from an android device (non-proprietary wonderfulness).
Any ideas?
:silly:
Probably doesn't help you, but when I was in the same dilemma few years back I bought a Pioneer 7" touchscreen head unit with bluetooth. Absolutely love it, best 1k I've spent in a while!!
You mean, something like this?

Nope
Quote from the Amazon listing for the device:
"2008 Infiniti M35 (does not get power, with power adapter will pair but car will not recognize it as an iPod)"
Strike One...
The I-Link device plugs into a 30-pin cable that terminates in a USB plug and a 3.5 audio plug -- if I had a 3.5 aux jack on the stereo, I wouldn't need anything else...
