[Q] Is there any way I can connect my phone to my car's speakers?

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.

USB Audio?

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.

fm transmitter?

is there any sort of fm transmitter for the DHD? i have an old fm player in my car and i would want my DHD to be connected to the car's stereo through fm transmitter, any ideas?

Any FM transmitter should work. They connect to the 3.5 mm audio jack and often get their power from a cigarette lighter contact.

I want to do something similar - I was thinking of getting a Plantronics K100 bluetooth kit. It is available for about £30 here in the UK and will take streaming audio from the phone via ad2p and it has an FM transmitter to output to your car stereo. Of course, it also handles your calls as well. It just clips on the sunvisor

Also, a big advantage is that the charge port on the K100 is a micro-usb the same as the DHD so you can use the same charger

Fm Transmitter
Htc Desire doesn`t had that hardware component so there is no fm transmitting

[Q] charging related noise suppression

anyone knows what does this app do? it shows up in task manager while charging in stock rom. I don't think that there can be any noise while charging. :/

I guess there could be RFI from the charger, or maybe it's something to do with thee downtime settings or the quiet times in the moto assist app.
Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk

It could be associated with the audio amp or DAC's within the device, so as to suppress the high frequency ripple on the 5v from the charger caused by it's switching frequency. There must have been an issue with it at some point during development.

It mutes the audio from the headphone jack when charging (if no app is using it). Before they added it (it's really a patch), you would hear buzzing from an automobile's electrical system through the stereo if you were charging and were using the headphone jack as a line out to the "aux" input on a car stereo. If you don't ever connect the headphone jack to your car stereo, then you shouldn't need it anyway.

Earphone attachment?

I am currently using my note 4 to listen to music on the way to and from work and while the earphones are good I have a pair I bought that are sports style and hook over the back of my ears which is useful for me as I ride a motorcycle to work with helmet and this stops them falling out when I put my helmet on however I'd love to be able to use the remote features of the in-line controls on the stock earphones. Is there such an attachment (cable) that I plug into the phone and then in turn can plug my earphones into that has this that can be used?

For some reason, I'm having trouble deciphering what you are looking for. I don't have stock headphones (I think only certain Note 4 models came with them... mine didn't), but I assume they're basic in-ear headphones. You also mention wanting to be able to use the controls on the headphones. But you can't currently? Is that right?
I just need to clarify what you need and I may be able to help. I'm constantly looking for accessories for my and my family's phones. Are you looking for an attachment to keep the headphones in your eyes with a helmet on, an extension cable between the headphones and the phone, a remote extension to control the phone with the headphones, or are you looking for a new set of headphones to meet your needs?

I have the stock earphones but i wondered if there was an accessory that has the media keys and microphone but let's me plug earphones into it. Like an adapter cable.
So exactly like you said. Not after new ones

Possible. I prefer wired myself as I don't have to make sure it's charged to use then. I've a habit of forgetting to charge things like that more often than not.
I had seen something that is what i'm after but for iPhone but I'm not 100% as to if it would work on the note 4

If you went with the above item, you'll also need a male-to-male adapter in order to plug your headphones in.

That could probably work! Is similar to what I'm after. I'm after one with a female connection to plug earphone into but that may be a good alternative. Just need to see if they are available on UK Amazon later on.
Cheers for the help!
