Now that the Nexus One Car Dock is out and it is confirmed that it does indeed support BT pairing, how about some recomendations on some good compatable car stereos to go with it?
In my case, I would like a Double-Din unit. If I want BT, and Satelite, most dealers are trying to sell me a base unit with each feature as an add-on. That would make working with these systems awkward as they are not fully integrated into the unit. Is there such a thing as a unit that does all of this:
Double-Din
BlueTooth
Satelite Radio
HD Radio
Ability to control the music playback on the Nexus

Satellite and HD radio are generally going to require add ons, but Bluetooth is often an integrated solution.
My head unit review is here
How on earth are we going to decide what's best? I like mine, but I am quite sure it's not the absolute best.
Alpine FTW!
I always use Alpine headunits. I believe this one will work meet all of your requirements. You may have to purchase an additional bluetooth control unit, but that is pretty much the norm. This one also is compatible with Alpine's imprint technology which is AWESOME! If you don't know you should check it out.

Has this been tested with the Nexus One, which is pretty picky about what Bluetooth Devices it will pair and work with? A positive report would be really cool.
Ok, instead of 'best' how about most reasonable? This setup is over a grand! If there isn't a unit with these features integraged, I will prefer to go with a bluetooth device first and add the rest later (on a side note, couldn't these extra units interface thru bluetooth as well?)
A feature that I see advertised a lot is an 'iPod adapter' that allows the head unit to control an iPhone and display track information as well. Would a bluetooth connection to the nexus provide this feature?

You are right, this setup is expensive, but it is a very nice setup. I personally don't have it, but I do have experiance using high end alpine products. I did read that when paired with bluetooth, the album information will be displayed. I don't know if that includes streaming Pandora or not though.
I didn't think it would be crazy for someone who spent $530 on a phone to get the best phone out would mind spending the money on a high end radio. If you want to make it cheaper I would suggest getting a single DIN radio, they are substantially cheaper and you can get the same features, plus a storage area above or below in the existing space.
I'm in the same boat as the OP. Tracking....

I personally despise that Pioneer unit. I bought it originally from Amazon but ended up hating almost everything about it. It beeps every time you do ANYTHING, it is bright blue like a comet even at night and lights up the whole cab, the menus are a mess to use, and the iPod support seizes control of the iPod while the head unit iPod controls aren't even very good at all.
I sent it back and bought a JVC double DIN http://www.amazon.com/JVC-KW-XG700-Double-Receiver-Expandable/dp/B000R3G86K . It has no iPod support or bluetooth though (even though I still consider it to be superior just on a usability basis). There is no bluetooth in it though, so now I am looking at buying a $100 bluetooth adapter for it. I see that JVC is going to release a new model any day though, the XR810. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_105KWXR810/JVC-KW-XR810.html?tp=5684&avf=N At first I was afraid because it too has blue backlights, but it turns out that all of the lighting is completely customizable. This thing seems to do everything the way I want it to such that I'm thinking of upgrading even though my receiver works fine. Since it has bluetooth built in, its only $200 more than just buying a bluetooth adapter.
That said, if you're looking at buying aftermarket and you dont care about what it sounds like or amplifiers or custom speakers, there are probably cheaper units that still offer bluetooth connectivity.
The more people that check this out and add the better

You're right about bright blue. There are two way to deal with that - either turn the display off or wire it to the dimmable dash lights with an inline resistor to drop the voltage a bit more. The dash lights go right to most harnesses, so it's not a big deal. But if it gets 12v straight from the vehicle, it's going to be bright when it's on. I haven't had any issues with with mp3 playback with the N1 since the first day. I can use N1 playback, or I can use head unit controls, or I can use my factory steering wheel controls, which are by far easiest. Beeps? I don't care. They're soft and they don't bother me.
That is another reason I bought the uint I did, full customizable color scheme and (standard) dimming features when hooked up correctly.
its a pain because my vehichle VW GTI has the CAN system to power on the unit vs a standard 12v on source.
what are your best guesses for the video playback bypass for ebrake on a GTI?

If hooked up correctly, they all have dimming. However, the lights on these are generally far more efficient than the dash lights, which means by the time the dash lights are visible, the head unit lights are too bright. I plan to fix that with a resistor in line with power coming from the dimmer. It's a simple fix. The head unit does have a dimming adjustment, It just doesn't go nearly far enough.
Not sure why video bypass is required on the DVD players, but I have read that a lot of people do it. What is the situation that requires a bypass?
Wish I hadn't posted here. It was a double.

So there is a circuit the emergency brake is supposed to close that indicates it's safe to play video? Seems like that would be easy enough to circumvent right at the head unit. Easier than connecting the head unit to the emergency brake.
I am planning on buying an IR accessory that plugs into the audio jack to use my phone and tablet as universal remotes. I understand that this product does what I want, but I also found this on eBay.
Does the second product also work with remote apps for televisions? Or do cameras use a different type of IR? Also, I'm assuming the range would be limited since there is no battery.
If anyone knows anything about this topic (or better yet, has purchased one of these items), I would appreciate your knowledge.
Thanks.
I'm looking for a car mount dock built for my Galaxy Note 4 that will:
Support Charging and audio streaming
Not be in the way of the volume and power buttons on the Galaxy Note 4
Positioning - Will hold my Note 4 in Landscape mode
I'm currently using an IBolt, which is a little difficult to set in. After playing with it, it sets in, "OK" if I change the USB port so it plugs in on the left side, fs the right. However, that makes my Home/Back keys on the left side as well, a bit awkward when driving. I had it pointed the other way, but the mount would hit my volume buttons. One thing I miss dearly about my old DROID RAZR MAXX is the car mount which was built to fit the device. I wish something similar existed for the Note 4.

the IOttie for the Note 2. It'll be more about how you position the phone than anything else. Although, I don't think it's what you're wanting.
I got the iottie one touch 2 and it is by far the best universal mount I've had.
Since I don't use my CD player/slot, I purchased this one a couple of years ago for my Galaxy Nexus. Now I am using it for my Note 4, which fits perfectly, and holds it securely in place.

How do you like it? I have this one.
Yeah none of those are ones that interest me. So far, the only one that I see that I partially like, is the one I currently have, the iBolt cardock. Again, it's got a built-in Micro USB connector. It's not really "built-in", but I think "connected" is more of the word. The USB "splits" into your AUX port and then your USB, effectively making the USB port serve as a dual functioning port: charging and streaming music. I use my phone for Pandora and Navigation. Unfortunately, the Note 4 doesn't seem to currently support USB audio streaming, so I'm stuck right now with plugging a separate 3.5mm into the top of my phone. Not very convenient, as it takes me another half a minute to hook up. As it is, it basically takes me 2 1/2 minutes to snap my Note 4 into my current iBolt dock, then plug in both the USB and the 3.5mm audio cord. With my old phone, the car mount was a rigid plate with a single usb port built-in, it literally took me about 8 seconds to dock, in comparison. Plus, I only had one cord to deal with. Right now, I've got two.
If I was as impressed with the DROID ULTRA as I am with the Note 4, I would've stuck with it, in hopes of the same kinds of docks, BUT, I can't do without a Micro USB and I wanted the bigger screen size. For those reasons, I don't regret my decision to get a Note 4.
Edit: I was thinking about it and I'm thinking I should've said "car dock" instead of "car mount", if that makes more sense to some people.

It works well for me, as I've been using it for a few years now. I don't care for the dash or windshield mounts, as I am always worried the mount (along with my phone) is going to fall off! Plus in my car, my dash is small, and has no flat area - so there's really no place to put a phone mount. Which is why I was happy to find the CD mount, as it works well and doesn't block my view.

I've also been looking around for a good car docking solution as my Note 4 is due to be delivered on Tues. I was hoping to use it in-car for both nagivation and music and considering a standard universal dash mount, with the iBolt Dock n Play cable, however I assume from the above quote this will not work?
Cable - http://www.amazon.co.uk/iBolt-Micro...?ie=UTF8&qid=1414950162&sr=8-6&keywords=ibolt
If so, I have to also assume the iBolt xProDock won't work too, which is a pity as it's on sale on Amazon. I'm also weary of using a 12V USB adapter as I've read numerous reviews of branded versions such as Belkin catching fire...

This is exactly what I have.

It does not come with a charger, so I bought this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G5VQIMM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This didn't work with my old DROID RAZR MAXX but it appears to work with my Note 4. I see the lightning bolt in the notifications area, indicating that it's charging.
Again, the iBolt DOES NOT work to stream audio through the cable to your AUX port on your radio. I think this is just a feature that Android does not currently support, but I hear it will in Android L. It's weird, though because my old DROID RAZR MAXX was able to stream audio via USB, and I had a car dock for it. The cable for it looked similar to the cable you posted, the one that came with the iBolt looks a bit different, it plugs into a box which serves as a splitter, which makes me think that it's the cable itself that could be just incompatible, I don't know, to be honest. With my old car dock, the cable started getting shorted out, which is why I bought the iBolt, figuring it would work just fine w/ whatever phone I got next, since my MAXX was approaching its end of life. Maybe I will just take a shot in the dark and purchase that same cable, but from a US link if I can find it.

Thanks for the suggestion, as I had not heard of the iOttie XL before. I checked it out on Amazon just now, as well as read through some of the reviews (looking for Note 4 reviews). So as soon as my current one breaks (if it does), I'll look into this one as a replacement. =)
Just thought I'd chime in here as finding a good car dock has been high on my priority list as well. First thing I'll say is yes, I can confirm that at this point the Note 4 DOES NOT currently support audio out over USB without the use of an OTG cable and DAC. It is possible to do it, but you need the extra hardware. This issue has been discussed in several threads, so just do a little searching and you should be able to find out the whole story. However, it has been confirmed that Lollipop is including audio out over USB as a standard feature, although I haven't been able to find a complete answer as to whether that just means every device will be able to use an OTG cable and DAC or that we'll be able to use usb/audio splitter cables like the iDock. The Lollipop features page DOES say that it will support all kinds of USB audio devices such as speakers and stereos, so I'm very hopeful, but we'll just have to wait and see.
As for actual dock options, I got totally hooked on using a magnetic dock back with my GS4. I originally picked up the Logitech magnetic car dock which worked fantastic with the s4, but with the added weight and size of the Note 4 it started to have some trouble. I ended up replacing it with the Bracketron Si dash mount, and it's been working perfectly. It has a very strong magnet, which I definitely need as I use an S-View cover which adds bulk to the back of the phone. The way these work is you get a few metal plates with the mount that give the magnet something to grab onto, and you can either stick it to the back of your phone with the double-sided tape on it or you can put it under the battery cover so that you don't have a big square piece of metal stuck to your device The Bracketron's magnet is strong enough to hold the phone with the metal plate under the battery cover AND with the S-View flap flipped around behind it, which is pretty impressive and certainly beats any other magnetic mount I've tried. There's also two little feet that flip out under the magnet to provide a little extra support, which is a nice bonus with this whale of a phone. It even has a clip for cable management.
So far I've been super happy with this, I do still have to manually plug the phone in but it's really nice to be able to just drop the phone in the mount and not have to fiddle with arms or clamps or anything. I'm lucky enough to have bluetooth in my car, so I still only have the one cable to connect as well.
I bought mine at Best Buy, but here's the link to Bracketron's page so you know what I'm talking about: http://www.bracketron.com/products/si-dash-mount#.VFeVJvnF92s
I've been looking into completely wireless solutions for the car and home, and I'm on the fence about whether to go with Qi or wait for one of the newer magnetic charging options to become available for the Note 4, but until wireless charging becomes possible I'm totally satisfied with the Bracketron.
That Bracketron looks pretty cool, but would interfere with my Qi chargers....
Well yah, like I said, UNTIL I find a suitable wireless charging solution I'm satisfied with the bracketron. There are magnetic docks that also do Qi charging, not many though. I think Airdock is the only one that is currently out that works with any device and doesn't need it's own proprietary case http://www.theairdock.com/ Looks decent, but I worry about whether it'll be able to hold up the Note 4 and also whether it'll work with my S-View case on. It does come with a magnetic sticker that supposedly helps, may try it at some point. What I REALLY think I'd like though would be something like this: http://www.revocharge.com/ or REALLY this: http://www.patriotmemory.com/product/detail.jsp?prodline=6&catid=100&prodgroupid=291&id=8253&type=37
The Fuel iON for the s4 looks amazing, I love that the case includes s-view and that there's direct magnetic connection to the docks, looks like it'd charge faster and more reliably than Qi as well. Just hope they decide to make a case for the Note 4 :/
Bracketron looks pretty cool. Unfortunately, I just bought one of those UAG cases, that should arrive in a couple of days. I doubt I could use that case instead of the one that comes with the Bracketron. I'm hoping that I like the UAG case, at least. I just wanted to add width to my phone. I'll look into the AIR case as well.
Too bad there isn't a company that makes customized car docks based on your phone and case using 3D printing, that'd be pretty awesome.
I am thinking of adding a keyboard for my fire HD 10 tablet 2017.
I am thinking of two options.
1. Bluetooth keyboard
https://www.amazon.com/Arteck-HB030...pID=51K3rbjy8rL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
2. using my Logitech K400 keyboard. It has a unifying reciever. I am thinking of buying a OTG adapter reader.
https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adap...qid=1519484873&sr=1-18&keywords=micro+usb+hub
I am thinking I can connect the unifying reciever to it, and that way I can use my keyboard, (which has an included trackapad) on the fire tablet.
My question is :
1. Will the unifying receiver K400 combo work?
2. Will the trackpad works (does it show an arrow?)
3. Should i just get the Bluetooth keyboard instead, and how the Bluetooth connectivity?, (no dongle , no mouse
4. Any Bluetooth keyboard anyone would like to recommend??
Thank you.
I got this for my dad's 10": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GIZHR2A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My review and pictures are under the review titled "Great value". I haven't had any issues with it (neither has my dad) and the keyboard feels pretty close to a full size layout.
I've been able to use a Bluetooth keyboard with a built-in trackpad with my HD 8 on 5.6.0.1.
I've also been able to use a separate USB mouse and keyboard simultaneously with an OTG cable and a USB hub. If the receiver works on another device (e.g. laptop), then it should work with an OTG cable.
If you carry around your tablet different places a lot, just go all Bluetooth if you can.
I'd suggest going Bluetooth as well. You can get cases with keyboards built in that connect via micro usb really cheaply, but they are more aggravation then they are worth. I bought one for my mom's 8" HD and I could instantly tell that bluetooth was the better option. I wound up buying a Logitech Type-V case for an Ellipsis 8 (because it was only $8 at Walmart), made some adjustments and so far so good.
I bought a Bluetooth XTREME keyboard at a National Wholesale Liquidators store in the NYC area a few weeks ago. They were about to be sold out. It was selling for $12, with no refunds. Took a chance on it, and it works perfectly with my 2017 fire hd 10. My tablet is attached to the FINTIE case.

Bluetooth keyboard.
I bought (in Lidls) a SilverCrest keyboard for £15 which works very well.
I don't think that the USB dongle would work, mainly because Android is using a VERY similar kernel to Linux (almost identical) which is why we have SuperUser hacks.
Linux requires the use of drivers to do really anything, but Android isn't Linux and doesn't have any native driver support.
Best bet is to use a Bluetooth keyboard, and don't worry there is literally no latency. It works amazing.

I recently got a new Logitech 9-10" Tablet Keyboard Case Universal Folio since I got another Fire HD 10 on Prime day. It's not worth the retail price or the $32 Amazon is asking for it since it doesn't fit the tablet perfectly- the grips will apply pressure to the volume or power switch. I put a few pieces of foam on the grips to prevent that from happening and it works well enough. I got it new for $18 from a seller on Ebay. They have 9 more if anyone is interested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Logitech-9...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Not that I know of. I wouldn't be surprised if a generic equivalent was around for Android tablets but you will have to make sure of the dimensions.
I have the Logitech K400 and have the Unifying Receiver plugged into a OTG USB cable. My Fire 10 will not open the onboard keyboard with it plugged in, but neither will it record keystrokes from the K400. Not sure what the problem is.
So as we all know Samsung don't include a USB-C to 3.5mm Jack adapter in the box ??*
So I tried to use the one that came with my Huawei Mate 20 Pro and get an error saying this device isn't compatible ?
Anyone brought an adapter yet that works?
I use the Hidizs sonata one and it works perfectly.

Works great with my Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones
Same problem here its because of the missing DAC chip as far as i was able to dig deep in to it.
I purchased a shotgun usb-c microphone and when i connect to it its just recording crayz noise.
I tested on my girlfriend oppo find x2 pro and its working fine.
Anyone knows some external microphone what is working with the ultra?
Posted this in a different thread but might be relevant here.
^^^ I agree completely. I guess free is free but if anyone has decent to high quality earphones or headphones please do me a favor and buy a cheap $15 and under high quality USB C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter DAC. It is worth it. I just bought and tried these per the knowledgeable audiophiles at head-fi and other Note 20 ultra owners here and they're the best $13 I've ever spent. The overall sound quality of my Note 20 Ultra with my Audio-Technica ATH-CKR90iS sound amazing. For a second I wish I still had my pre-trade Note 9 and its internal DAC to directly compare but even from memory it's not even close. It reminds me to a lesser degree the SQ of my old LG V20 but these earphones weren't around back then.
I'll compare them to the Samsung freebies when they arrive but I'll be shocked if they'll be able to keep up let alone match or exceed them. I'll more than likely end up selling them and recoup the cost of the DAC essentially making them free..
Edit: Forgot the link. Look at the 2nd review for a technical breakdown of the internal components and sound quality to get a better idea of how unbelievably good these are..

Yeah that's what I use, lol highly doubt it has a Burr Brown high res DAC in it though.
It's pretty wimpy too as far as it's puny thin cable that lacks good strain reliefs.
Samsung keeps falling short on the HQ audio side... this is getting to be a nasty habit. Lots of storage for HQ audio files but crappy throughput... brilliant
If you're going into a good reciever/amp with wav files (HDCD) or higher the best plan be to keep the signal in the digital realm, not use a crappy dongle DAC and use the amp's DACs instead.
of course audiophiles will want more but for everyday use the samsung dongle works just fine.

You need a adapter that specifically supports note 20.
U GREEN sells a couple of variation of such dongle. Find one that says support note 20 and you are good to go
