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) doesnt 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.

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.
Just purchased

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.
Purchased.
Is there anyway I can talk through the phone's mic and listen with ordinary head phones?
I can do this with pretty much any recent Nokia or iPhone, but the i9000 just seems to ignore normal headphones completely when answering a call.
This looks more like a software thing.
some phones doesn't work like that, you can listen but not talk when using the 3.5mm headphone (without mic)
like my old Palm Treo phones you can only use it unplug, or plug but then your headset will need to have a mic, else it wont work.
the next best thing is Stereo Bluetooth, they all come with a Mic
Not even that much
That's the thing, on the Galaxy S can't even "listen" to the phone call using headphones.

Thank you for your help, but what I'd really like to do is connect Galaxy to my car stereo's 3.5mm input and answer the calls using the car speakers.
I know that if I used a Nokia Mic adapter, it should work, but CRAP!
This is a way too expensive phone not to do that without the need for an adapter.
I have faith someone will come up with a way to bypass Samsung's stupidity and just leave the audio jack active when in a call.
Also, if I want to use my Sennheiser HD headphones, I can't without putting a crappy adapter between it and the telephone.
if it's for the car, then just get bluetooth for the car, it's by far the easiest way
The easiest way is a 25cent cable
The easiest way is a 25cent cable that does not eat up my battery like BT.
Again, I thank you for your help, but the perfect world would be someone to flip a switch in the phone's software and just make sound come out of it.
You are right; I also had my Hero connected with the 3.5mm cable to my car stereo and when I received a call, I switched my car to AUX and picked up the call, presto! Sound was routed through speakers and mic would pick up my voice perfectly.
Now with my new SGS it just doesn't work! I must leave the cable disconnected and switch the phone speaker mode on to be able to talk. How sh*t is that?
So here I was excited about a 3.5mm jack. Oh well. Just shows to go ya, size doesn't matter.

Hey,
Can you please elaborate on that cable wiring? or where to purchase etc?
I think the best thing is have an adapter with a mic and a female headphones socket to which you connect ANY headphones.
Just a followup on this, my old n95 adapter works perfect.

it's kinda weird. it works and it doesn't.
i have a jvc in-ear earphones and skullcandy lowrider headphone.
when receiving a call with my jvc, audio switches back to the phone's speaker and phone mic won't work unless i unplug the jvc.
with the skullcandy lowriders, call is routed to headphones and phone mic work perfectly.
note: neither of these pairs have an in-line mic, so the mic i am referring to is the one on the phone.

It weird indeed.
I tested an iPhone stock headset (which has the exact same jack as the galaxy S headset, at least visually), and the calls are not ROUTED through the headphones !
A possible explanation for this is that the phone monitors the headphone's impedance: if the impedance is different from the one of the stock headset, then call sound is routed to the phone speaker.
I'm really hoping some developers will come up with a fix or a custom ROM to fix this issue.
i'll post the specs of both headphones for scrutiny when i grt home.
one thing i can day though is that my jvc has 10mm drivers and my lowrider has 40mm drivers. does that even matter?
i'm also gonna try to see what happens of i use my bro's skullcandy asym in-ears.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Any news about this issue?
I am about to throw this phone against the wall because oh this.... Damn!!!!
If there are things which should not be considered "as features", this is one of those...
sorry but it took me a while. first, here are the specs:
skullcandy lowrider
driver: 40mm
freq response: 18 Hz - 20 kHz
impedance: 32 Ohms
Max Input Power: 400mW
jvc HA-FXC80
Driver Unit: 0.23"(5.8mm)
Magnet type: Neodymium
Frequency Response: 8HZ - 25KHz
Impedance: 16ohms
Sensitivity: 103dB/1mW
Max Input Power: 150mW(IEC)
skullcandy asym
Driver Unit: 13mm
Frequency Response: 18Hz - 20kHz
Impedance: 32 ohms
Max Input Power: 30mW
and one more thing i tried...
x-mini max speakers
Drivers: 40mm
Frequency response: 230HZ -18KHZ
Sensitivity: 86db/1mW
Out of all the four, the calls would only route to the skullcandy lowrider. At first I though it might have been driver size, that's why i threw in the x-mini max for the test. looks like there's another factor that's causing this anomaly.
It's definitely soft problem! Because in Nimbuzz software, if you use Nimbuzz-out (same as Skype-out) and i had phone connected to car with 3.5 mm jack, sound went to car stereo, and i was talking using samsung mic. So if they could realize this "feature", why samsung couldn't?
Hi guys,
I recently installed a third-party head unit in my car in order to get a number of modern features including aux input and bluetooth capability. (The stereo is the JVC XR810.) I also recently purchased a Droid 2, which is actually a casemod using a Droid 1 body with the Droid 2 internals shoved into it. Rooted, running a custom ROM, etc. It's great, I love it.
Everything seems to work great between the phone and the stereo—I can listen to Pandora or MP3s from the phone, and dialing out works properly, even voice dialing. The call audio is piped through the car speakers and I use the head unit's mic to talk. Wonderful.
The only problem is, when I receive a call while the phone is hooked up to the stereo via bluetooth, the call audio comes out of the phone speaker rather than the car speakers. The music that's playing over bluetooth pauses, the call comes up on the phone, but the sound comes out of the phone itself. This has only happened once (I don't get a lot of calls), but it sounded like it was coming out of the earpiece on the front of the phone rather than the speakerphone speaker on the rear of the phone. (I do plan to do some more extensive testing this evening using my gf's phone to call myself.)
I looked through the phone and car menus pretty exhaustively to try and find a setting that would cause this, but I can't seem to locate it.
Can anyone shed some light?
Bump bump bump!
Nobody, eh?
Hey all
I just ordered this clip and am excited to get it. I am just wondering if any of you geniuses can add the software to our Sensations to support the aptX audio enhancement CODEC?
http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/accessories/htc-car/
Premium music for those on the go
Wirelessly stream music from your HTC phone through your car stereo speakers with the Car StereoClip (Aux). Just plug the adaptor into a 3.5mm auxiliary port, and listen to premium, authentic sound thanks to embedded apt-X enhancement.
Are you on Sense 3.6 or 4.0? Either way you should let us know how it works w/ your sensation.
Maybe that's why we're having BT issues on 4.0 ports... the new codec? meh, just a random thought.

Just wanted to add that this dongle has an imbedded battery (6-8 hour estimated), with a micro USB charging port.
I hope to be able to hide this away in my car, and run continuous power to it so I don't have to take it back out again. Hopefully some reviews with good info come out
Since it's a Bluetooth adapter, would it work with other phones via A2DP? Or does it work specifically with HTC phones using a proprietary connection/codec (aptx)?

Hey all, well the HTC Car StereoClip came in today. I am very pleased, it works just like advertised. It lets me connect via Bluetooth to the clip and play Music thru to my car stereo. When a call comes in it defaults to regular phone earpeice mode and does not try to play the phone call thru bluetooth.
First quick impressions, audio quality is fine. What I am really wondering is would audio quality really jump up in quality if we had the aptX audio enhancement CODEC in the Sensation?

Have you used an auxillary cable to play audio through your car stereo before using the clip? If so, how would you say the audio quality compares?

OK, so I guess that means that the phone (One X in my case) can't connect to both this device AND my bluetooth built-in car kit - one for streaming music and one for phone calls?
My car (BMW) has a factory Bluetooth kit installed but, unfortunately, it doesn't support music streaming. I have been using a cable to connect my phone's head phone socket to the AUX-in port of the car and this has been working fine. Music streams via the cable and get's muted when a call comes in via the Bluetooth kit and then un-muted when the call finishes.
I was hoping to pair my phone to both Bluetooth devices and have them working simultaneously, one for music output and the other for phone calls.
Too much to ask for?
Software fix?
...When a call comes in it defaults to regular phone earpeice mode and does not try to play the phone call thru bluetooth...
It really quite stupid that you can't also use this devise for phone calls. When a call comes in, it should remain using the BT. I wander if there is a way to make it work? Perhaps some sort of software or app or something to make this happen...

Can you confirm that indeed call does not come through even when there is only a single device pared (mobile and A100)? That would really be shame as this might have been the perfect solution for hands free calling, having mic from the phone for outgoing audio and car speakers for incoming audio.
The easiest way to tell is just to look at the bluetooth pairing settings for the stereoclip, is it just pairable as a media device, or media as well as phone?
Hey All
Ok I wanted to give an update. I am extremely please with StereoClip.
My car is a 2005 Cadillac STS with Nav and factory Blue-tooth for phone but does NOT support Blue-tooth Audio. So I have had to use the AUX in for Pandora until now. The stereo is the factory 15 speaker BOSE system plus a Kicker 10" sub in a custom fiberglass enclosure with its own 1,000 watt amp.
Tonight I just compared the sound quality of Blue-tooth vrs being wired/plugged in. I was nicely surprised that I could not tell a bit of difference in quality. This was done parked in my garage with the car on. I listened to Jazz, Rap, Latin, and Techno. I listened for bass quality, highs, openness, and to my surprise I could not truly tell how I was connected. I was positive that being connect via blue-tooth I was NOT going to get the same sound quality, that I would give up some quality for convenience. Well at least in my 15 min quick test of starting a song listening to it for a min or so then switching how its connected to the car stereo and continuing the song I could not hear any difference. Very happily surprised.
Then I drove for dinner and decided to see if my phone would also pair to my car at a blue-tooth cell phone at the same time will listening to music and it did. My Sensation was paired to the HTC StereoClip and to the Cadillac at the same time. I made a phone call, Pandora paused, The call connected I spoke for a min or two then hung up and then Pandora resumed. All worked perfectly.
So the StereoClip works perfectly. I'm thrilled.
Thanks HTC.
P.S. the only little annoying thing is, for me to pair to it I have to actually press the pairing butting on the StereoClip and then tell my Sensation to connect to it. So its two additional steps I need to do EVERY TIME I get in my car. Kinda a hassle but I feel its better than seeing a wire and being hard wired to the car....

Got my Stereo Clip in today
And I must say is very nice! I use to use the aux cable to connect the phone to the head unit but with this lil puppy its just bad a$$!
My setup:
I have a BlueAnt S4 (on sale btw on dailysteals.com for 20 bux in the USA I think, sorry!) and that plays media through its speaker. So all my navi voice prompts can be heard through the S4. And the profile the S4 supports is phone audio of course and media audio.
Now I introduce the HTC Car A100. Pairing was easy peasy. Then jumped in the truck to see how this works. I pulled up poweramp and started a track. Then turned on the bluetooth on the phone. Now both the S4 and A100 is connected to the phone. However when connected the music started playing though the S4.
I then went into the bluetooth profile of the BlueAnt S4 and unchecked the media profile. This will then in turn only be used for phone calls only, which works because the A100 cannot play the calls through the speakers. I restarted the track and viola, the music started to stream smooth as silk through my speakers. And it's nothing like the FM transmitters for ipods, this is clear as my aux cable!
I have to say I have not received a call yet with both running. I'll report back on how this functions in my setup. I hope it works lol...
hey guys,
my One S has buzzing noise coming from the headphone jack, and this problem is pretty annoying especially when it's connected to my car stereo. I thought it might be just mine, but it seems like this is a common issue.
i found this video on youtube. I have the exact same buzz from my One S, though perhaps not as accentuated as in this video.
seems like the One X has this problem as well. found this thread at the One X board http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720212
is this a grounding problem in the headphone jack? Beats Audio? what do you guys think?
I've always had this problem with more than one phone. If you charge the phone via USB adapter from the car battery, it gets 10x worse.
This problem only happens when sound is being played back, so when music/video/game sound kick in, it stops. Do you get that noise when sound is being played back?

The buzz is only audible when nothing is playing. Like in that video, when I stop playing music it will be silent for about 2 seconds and then the buzz kicks in again.
I didn't have this issue with other phones
I don't have any buzz, I double checked just to make sure.
Although it might be my headphones, the output is probably not strong enough to play the sound.
It's probably being heard in your car (or in the youtube video) because the output is being amplified.
I'm having the same issue with YouTube and Pandora.

you're right. the issue isn't as noticeable through earbuds. i think that's why many people are saying they don't have this issue. It's still bad though.
I don't know why HTC messed up this part when no other phones seem to have this issue. Makes me sad.
If it's easy to reproduce for you guys, I'd definitely be pushing for warranty replacement.
I do not have this problem at all. On my cheap pair of headphones or on my expensive one. No hum or sound.
the buzz is there, and it also was on my Desire.
Not when playing tho, only when connected and not playing. Not too annoying, always thought it was supposed to be like that.
And no, I have never heard it through ear buds or phones, only when connected to home stereo or car stereo, and if charged through cig-lighter-outlet it amplifies further...

It doesnt effect headphones, only when the sound is amplified. Like when you play music in your car.
Simply because that sound alone is not enough to drive the headphones.

Whether its plugged in to a car or home stereo, its still using the output from the headphone jack. The power output from the jack is the same either way.
I plug mine in to the aux jack of my car stereo daily, and I have no buzz or hum. Do you have your phone plugged in to a power source at the same time? That buzz is usually caused by crosstalk from a poor quality power source.
Or, as I said earlier, it may just be a bad phone.

Well my phone doesnt do it in my headphones. I can't test in car, no aux input.
What I was saying is that, of its buzzing in your car but not on your headphones its because the sound level at which the buzz is at isn't enough to drive your ear buds. But when the car stereo amplifies it its easily driving your car speakers.
