Nexus One Car Dock (official) doesn’t have audio out?

google dot com slash phone now has the car dock listed ($55) but says “Sorry, this item is temporarily not available.”
The PDF that they link to talks about a built in speaker but doesn’t mention a audio out port for connecting to your car stereo. Could they have really left this out?
Edit: The listing disappeared after only a couple of minutes and unfortunately I refreshed before I grabbed a screenshot. I did save the help page and the PDF, although both are still accessible on Google’s servers.
I can't post links so the best I can do is (bit dot ly slash bvAsYB)

Love the way the phone slides into it... so much easier than my 3rd party POS holder I'm using right now...
After checking out the PDF... looks like you're right... no audio jack... but no real need from one. You should be able to plug an audio jack into the phone still... would've been nicer to just leave it in the dock though and have audio transferred through the gold connectors... Why Google?
Edit: In the PDF it talks about how the dock automatically enables BlueTooth. Guessing that's how you're supposed to connect it to your cars audio.
"You can't use a Bluetooth headset while the phone is docked" - again, Google... why??

Nexus One Car Dock
Finally!! I hope I can have it by this weekend.

Re: Nexus One Car Dock (official) doesn’t have audio out?
Im going to wait a while before I purchase.Right now my home dock is acting funky, some times it charges and sometimes it doesn't depending on how my nexus sits.

The pdf actually mentions sending data through bluetooth on the dock. It probably does have an audio jack.

You can't push data through the gold connectors.
The pdf actually mentions playing music through the phone -> bluetooth.
There probably is a connection on there, did the desk dock specify the audio connection?
It's gonna be retarded if it plays audio through the docks speaker phone, wtf.

I don't think it was supposed to be up originally as it showed not available. I'd guess it would show up pretty soon though as a result.

I think it looks great, but it is really dissapointing that you cannot use a bluetooth headset while it is docked. I do not think that the speakerphone will be clear enough with the amount of time I am on the phone. I guess now I know that it looks like and how it functions, I will be looking in to another option.

The dock just came back up on the purchasing website and now seems to be officially for sale.

me too. finally....

$55 seems a bit excessive imo. Especially considering that I can't even make a phone call while using it. Speaker phone? hardly. The speaker phone is **** on my nexus.
It looks like it wont work with a case either. I dont understand why they think people aren't using cases for their phones.

Mine is purchased! However I do not need outlandish Fedex overnight for this like I did for my phone

The ones that ordered, please take some pictures and do a review for us.
I'm worried about the not able to connect to a bluetooth headset while docked. I wonder if bluetooth headset is also considered a bluetooth car stereo.
I've never used headsets and don't care to. But I'm about to order a bluetooth car stereo and I'll be pissed if I can connect my Nexus One to the stereo.

Will do Sistum

Waited so long for this. How can it not have an audio out? I'm not going to listen to mp3 and navigation through the built in speakers and not my car speakers. That's ridiculous. Am I missing something here?

As long as you tell the phone to to pair with the dock you should be fine to pair with anything else.

the product description says that the speakers "enhance the in-car music and media experience." How exactly do pathetic speakers enhance audio? what's the point if it has to go through speakers instead of the very common audio jack equipped head unit.
you CAN still plug in an audio jack to the phone when it is docked. but then again i can still plug an audio jack into the phone when it's on the desk dock. I thought the whole bloody point of the bluetooth dock was so that you don't have to plug in the audio jack, what's the point of a bluetooth dock that still requires you to plug the phone in?!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I cancelled my order until this issue is confirmed and or resolved. until then, i will continue sitting my phone in a cup holder and connecting an audio cable and charging cable.

Yes! Thank You! Well, I'm guessing that they figure people have bluetooth enabled stereos? Can the N1 even transfer audio through BT? Now I just need to get the BT working lol.

Want Bluetooth Streaming (in car) .. but no A2DP (Only HFP currently)

So, I listen to a ton of podcasts in the car.
My car currently has HFP (Hands Free) bluetooth, but no Audio Streaming (A2DP) built in. I've been looking for an inexpensive solution to stream audio via bluetooth from my HTC One S. I don't want to buy a whole kit, which most Auto Audio places tell me I have to do (lies).
I know there's a few audio bluetooth 'dongle' type things out there, that I could plug into my 3.5mm jack in my car. Then I'd sync my One S to that to be able to stream bluetooth. I'm just hesitant to buy one, since there aren't that many reviews for the ones I've seen.
Has anyone done this?
Does anyone read the One S/X Q&A section?
Thanks for any recommendations. I didn't want to spend more than like.. Fiddy bucks.

2 options, Griffin Technology BlueTrip AUX or the pricey Black Berry version. Both are great.

I have the same issue, did you manage to make work your phone with your HFP bluetooth?

I actually went to try it with my Toyota Camry. First ensure that you are connected to the bluetooth in the car, and then toggle on BTMono. The car thinks there is an incoming call, and then just start your music. Played just fine over my car's speakers, although it was slightly lower quality, since it was HFP and not A2DP.
So, success.
Feel free to post about your car's success.

solved by Google Play
Hello, mates
You just have a look at Google Play and go for : BtMusic, Audio Router, BTHeadSet, BTMono, Super Froyo Mono and other alike
You can choose paid, free, trials, etc
I've been using BTHeadSet in my car and it goes like if I were receiving a phone call, so all songs, audio and etc goes to the car speakers
See you later

Finally fixed bluetooth in the car while using the AUX IN jack

Tonight I made my first accessory purchase at the local Verizon store... as their prices have always been pretty bad, but I have a military discount of 15%, so I bit the bullet and purchased an iBolt cradle system. If you haven't seen it, there is a review in the accessory section, it's pretty spot on, but this important update is for those of us who don't have A2DP streaming in the car, and are forced to use the AUX IN jack.
Long story short, when using this dock, you have the option of sending the sound thru your micro USB port or out the phones speaker in back. This dock comes with a nine foot long cable that has micro USB at one end, and regular USB and a 3.5mm audio jack at the other. This beautiful setup allows you to not touch the evil headphone jack (trump card) on the phone, but rather it lets you the phone play music out the USB connection while retaining Bluetooth phone connectivity thru your cars Bluetooth connection! (while charging)
Silly that I had to buy a $32 device to get functionality that the AT&T version of our phone has natively... but at least it's fixed!

Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but what is the advantage of playing music through the USB instead of bluetooth? I actually like the BT option - plays music but pauses when a call come in and lowers the volume for GPS directions. Works great all at the same time...

There's a large portion of G3 owners who do not have bluetooth streaming (A2DP). Just because you have bluetooth phone connectivity does not mean you have bluetooth streaming. We are forced to use the aux in jack in the car to listen to music. I think a large portion of S3 owners simply tried to use the headphones jack on the phone... But if you do that, you cannot use bluetooth. Every sound is routed thru the headphones jack. You cannot toggle this.
So, using the iBolt cradle, witch ports the sound out via usb instead of the headphones jack, I am able to retain my cars bluetooth functionality.
Side note, not sure if you know this, but the sound quality of bluetooth streamed music is pretty bad compared to a cabled connection.

I'd recommend this if you don't have BT streaming: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10827&cs_id=1082704&p_id=9472&seq=1&format=2
That combined with a USB car charger to keep it charged at all times would maybe be a nice way to solve your issue for ~$30
Note: I don't own the product, but the reviews are good and it seems it would just be nice to have.

A day after I purchased the iBolt I received this little gadget in the mail from ebay.
USB Bluetooth Adapter
For under $10 it gives you the same A2DP bluetooth audio streaming. But, the difference is it doesn't sound nearly as good for the lower end of the spectrum. But, in a pinch it's awesome, and for the price, you can't beat it. I have it as a backup for now.
I took about 30 min and hid the iBolt cabling today. I like the fact that I moved the cradle to the top left of the windshield, away from the center console. Will post some pics later today of the install.

I am surprised at how easy the phone is to use with my left hand, from the steering wheel. Retaining the bluetooth functionality, specificallly my integrated microphone, really makes this work around worth every penny. Hope it helps someone else!

Oh well now I understand. Thanks for clarifying. Of course I didn't mean any offense.

Sweet, I was contemplating a bluetooth to 3.5mm for my car because of this issue, but this might be a better solution. Looks like we might have the same exact setup soon including the mini cooper :good:

I-bolt rocks. Bought one the other day. Search for best price. Down in the low to mid $30 range now depending on shipping and coupons.

Could anybody solve my problem? My car doesn't have a usb port so I cant use the iBolt to play music through it. I use the cassette player to audio jack and use bluetooth talk through my car speakers. Is there a solution to use bluetooth while using the audio jack?

Yes. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but on anther board, someone brought this up and it works, albeit ghetto'ish.
Mount the phone somewhere in the car where you can speak towards the mic. Plug the cassette tape adapter into the headphones jack. When a call comes in, just answer the phone keeping the headphone jack in use, and the sound will come thru your stereo, but the mic you will be using is the one on the phone. Talked to multiple people who all heard me just fine. (even with the mic pointed downwards!)

The cable is exactly the right length to mount the ibolt anywhere in the car, hell I think we could mount it on the rear window, lol! There is space behind the base of the center console where you can tuck away any extra cable you have before you route the cable to the jacks. I decided to use an add on 2.1a USB car charger (cig lighter adapter) vs the cars internal USB as I don't think the MINI USB pumps out anything more than 450 mA (1\4 what the adapter puts out I bought seperately)

Does that require a custom Recovery and/or ROM, perhaps? I'd like to keep things relatively stock for now, though am OK with tweaks. Plus, the iBolt looks convenient to use in my car.

I know I can do that but I want to use the bluetooth in my car to make calls(my car doesn't have bluetooth audio only calls). When I use the headphone jack to make calls people say their voice echoes back but if I use the cars bluetooth its fine.

Bluetooth calling options for car?

I've read a lot about options for getting bluetooth audio in the car, and even started a thread on it. But after thinking about it more, I realized that if I was going to have bluetooth audio in the car, I might as well be able to take calls in the car, as well. I tried the Belkin adapter, and it's great for receiving music and calls, but the sound from my end on calls is disappointing. I've called people from it and also have left myself voicemails and listened to them, and it just doesn't sound very good.
Any advice on bluetooth for the car that has good call audio? Been considering maybe this GoGroove one. Also, this Kinivo doesn't look too bad.

It's a bit more expensive than those options and doesn't work with every vehicle but I just put a grom audio adapter in my honda pilot. It pretends to be a cd changer, I got the box with aux in, usb and bluetooth capability then added on the Bluetooth module and auxillary in+charging cable and it ended up being like 200 shipped. At the cheapest end you could get the box that just does bluetooth and aux for 74.99 then add on the bluetooth for 49.99 (the box comes with bluetooth capability but the actual bluetooth module is an addon). You mount the microphone where you cant it and plug the box into the back of the radio. It works well for me and everyone can hear me just fine... well everyone except my dad but he's been going deaf for years now.

I can speak for it, I own it (bought it last week)
Syncs up quick, Unlike the similar Belkin (looks better, has issues) the buttons are useful, the big center area is a giant play/pause button, it also has a foward\back button on one side. Call quality is great, have had no complaints when using it, streams music well. Very simple setup.
The only thing I don't like is the cable is permanently attached and very thin/fragile. This isn't an issue if you properly mount/set it up (IE hide it behind plastic panels)
The charger doesn't put out much, I believe around 700mA, and it does take up my one and only 12v jack meaning I can't easily use a better phone charger without hardwiring something.

There's always this.

Just bought a new car 2 months ago. It has no bluetooth and I was tired of my fm adapter so I was looking for a new solution. Considered everything from 600$ full CD player replacements that had bluetooth enabled to some of the more internal installation ones around 150. Ended up going with the Kinvio off Amazon just to try it and see how well it works.
Here is what makes it 10x better then the Belkin: Autoconnect. When you turn your car on it turns on and your phone automatically connects. With the Belkin apparently you have to hit the button every time you want to connect.
I've been told the audio quality is good and while people know im on speakerphone they can hear me clearly. The audio quality for me is great, I'm not an audiophile but it certainly seems clear to me. Would definitely recommend it for the price.

I put a bluefusion unit in my truck and loved it. It plugged in behind the radio, install took about thirty minutes. It still allowed use of my steering wheel controls. It tricked the radio into thinking the Bluetooth was xm..... retails for over $200 but are for sale all over the net for $40-60.

so am i correct in my thinking:
1) pair my phone with the Kinovo
2) Music (from google music) will go out TO my microsoft SYNC system VIA Line OUT FROM the Kinovo
3) Phone calls, incoming/outgoing, will go TO my microsoft SYNC system VIA bluetooth FROM the Kinovo ((instead of LINE out! so i can still take advantage of answering calls from my steering wheel and seeing names on the cars LCD etc ...)

Alright, I'm giving the Kinivo a try.

best smartphone accesory I've bought in a long time

Got tired of wearing a bluetooth headset in the car and was considering upgrade my car's audio system to something that would have bluetooth.
Just by luck I found this bluetooth adapter that once connected to my car's audio system, gave it all the modern capabilities.
No more headsets, no more fiddling with turning volume down on maps, so that I could make a phone call.
My Galaxy S4 now streams audio to my radio, when a call comes it is pauses the music, or when maps has some voice guidance, it also pauses music and then continues afterwards.
Same when I make a phone call... music pauses and continues afterwards.
This company GROM Audio makes bluetooth adapters for many cars.

A Bluetooth Stereo have been one of the best things I have ever put in my car, in my case an aftermarket Sony Deck.
This just makes everything so much easier and less cables around the place. All i need now is one to charge my phone and that is it. Even when I'm with friends I can have them connect using their phone and play music while sitting in the back seat.
If you just need it for music and want to save some cash you can always use one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/390534336745?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 provided you have an aux input,

Going from the cassette adapter to bluetooth was one of the best things I've ever done

thanks
nice find

..

I don't trust things on ebay. I just bought this one a few days ago, works great!

I got one of these:

Only $12 and it works like a beast. Since I got it I saw another one just like it for $9.99.
However, I would like to have simultaneous multi-device connecting and the phone audio so I will be getting something more.

Thanks for this. I'm gonna order this for both my vehicles and try it out. Hope it's as boss as you say.
Putting my hope and $20 on your comment.

$20? Oh, you are having to pay for shipping? That sucks.
You really need to get a Prime membership. I have had it since they first offered it years ago.
Anything marked "Prime" (big or small) ships for free via 2-day FedEx air and you get free Kindle borrows and free streaming of movies and TV.
All for $80 a year. I have Kindles and I buy stuff from them all the time so I make out like a bandit! :good:
But yeah, the thing works perfectly and since my Mustang came with a power point and aux in jack inside the center console, it is invisible and just flat works.
When I get one that will also pipe the phone audio through the speakers, this one will go in the Motorhome for sure.
