Hello everyone,
I recently bought a 2 in 1 Adapter for charging with an audio jack.
I dont want to use the headphone jack for audio, because the cable is sticking out too far and is distracting my view while driving.
Sadly the one i bought charges at only 500mA and the audio is not working at all.
Can someone recommend an inexpensive adapter wich works as it sould?
I want to use the adapter in my car, so i can charge and listen to music / navigate at the same time .
Thanks in advance guys!

I'm on my second Audio adapter from Pocket PC Techs: http://www.pocketpctechs.com/detail.asp?Product_ID=PPCPADPT01. The first one would sometimes only play the left or right speaker and I'd have to jiggle the wire on the adapter for it to play properly. I returned this for a second one which worked fine up until last week when it started to pop the speakers in the car when the slightest jostling of the wire occured (hitting bumps). I've got it connected to the XDA 2 and then to a cassette adapter with 3.5mm jack in the car. The cassette adapter works fine on the iPAQ H3970 and the XDA 2 works perfectly with the included stereo headset. Another problem with the PPCTechs audio adapter is that the microphone doesn't work in the 2.5mm headset jack part.
I know there are people out there who have canibalized their included stereo headsets to make audio adapters and also people who have made their own USB adapters with audio out capabilities. Is anyone interested in making one for me?! I can send a canibalize-able stereo headset with the proper audio jack if needed.
I would like either:
- A modified stereo headset cable with microphone that connects to a female 3.5mm stereo headset jack.. or directly to a car cassette adapter.
...or...
- A serial port connection that can output stereo audio to a 3.5mm female audio jack, includes a microphone or 2.5mm mono headset jack, and provides charging capabilities.
I imagine the former choice would be easier, but none of my local electronics repair shops want to do it and I don't have the tools or experience to do it right. The latter would be nicer. I'd buy a car kit, but I havn't seen any that work with the XDA2 and provide audio out that can connect to the car stereo. I want both stereo music/movies to be played in the car stereo speakers as well as GPS navigation commands and (sometimes) phone calls... and I want Voice Command to work (hence the need for a microphone)!
Please PM me with costs if some one can do this for me.
Adamz- Did you push in the connector from the Audio all the way in? I used the handsfree set ( supplier with MMDA II) and it was not working properly and was also loose until I found that you have to really push it firmly.
I am suprised if you did do that and it still does not work as you said it has all the connectors
I am also looking for a similar solution using the same principle. The other sync input I use for mt GPS connector/ charger . was going to try the Audio adaptor that you are using with a mute box through to a speaker .
Can any one help?

Did you read this topic?
Maybe this might work for us.

Nah, I want stereo quality music to be played in the existing speakers in my car. I also want GPS navigator instructions to be played in the car stereo as well as phone calls. I've got a Bluetooth GPS reciever, so I don't really need a serial connection.
The PPCTechs adapter is fully inserted into the audio jack, although sometimes pushing it too far makes it stop working as well! But if I jiggle the wire, sometimes it does work... then if I hit a bump, maybe it will stop working.
I'm thinking the USB Cradle with Audio might be good. If that's got a 3.5mm female stereo jack in the back, I can plug the casette adapter into that. Plug the USB into a cigarette lighter adapter... and that should be all set sinc the Audio USB cradle supposedly has a microphone in it.
Those don't seem to be available yet though.

Hello!
When I plug my Touch Pro into an active Adapt carholder the sound output of my touch is forced to the charger (no sound output anymore on my mobile).
Is there any way around this? Any registry setting?
Or maybe remove some of the pins from the mini-usb connector on the charger?
Try getting HTC's official dongle which plugs into the USB port and gives you several connectors;
USB for charging
3.5mm headphone socket
2.5mm mini-headphone socket
USB for HTC's original supplied headphones
If you use this, you can plug in headphones at the same time as charging. I use it to route sound through to my car stereo so I can use the phone as an MP3 player and Sat-Nav.
If you don't use the headphone sockets, sound still comes out through the main speaker on the phone.
Hmm I have one of those, but the car charger I use is a slide-in holder, so there won't be much room for the dongle
Microphone unuseable when plugged into stereo
I use the usb dongle adaptor in my car to push sound through the stereo, however this disables the HTC Touch Pro microphone so although I can hear people calling in (through the car speakers) they cannot hear me.
I think it is because the phone thinks the headphones are plugged in and that I'd use the headphone microphone.
Does anyone have a tweak which would allow the phones microphone to remain in action when using the dongle?
Many thanks

I don't have that problem at all, my phone's microphone works fine while using the USB dongle with a 3.5mm jack plugged into it, connected to my car stereo.
Are you using HTC's official dongle, the one with the 3.5mm, 2.5mm USB power and USB headphone sockets?
It works fine for me!
Hi
I wanted to buy a mini-usb to 3.5mm audio adapter for Zinc-ii phone so that I can use my regular headset for listening songs. I couldn't find a mini-usb adapter for Zinc-ii but I got one generalized adapter (mini-usb to 3.5mm audio). When I attached the adapter to Zinc-ii, it is not routing the audio through the adapter. It triggered the activesync tool first time and it failed for obvious reason because it is a 3.5mm adapter not a computer.
1. Is there any setting which I have to do for routing the audio through the adapter?
2. Is there a place where I can buy a 3.5mm audio adapter if there is a special one for zinc-ii? The headset came with the device is working perfectly fine.
Thanks
i made myself a cable using the original zinc2 headphones get a solder ,wires and 3.5 plug dats it ... or i cud sell mine for lets say 10 gbp + delivery ... i got htc now
Thanks. I will settle for Acoustic Research bluetooth minibridge available in circuitycity website selling for $20
Hi,
Recently upgraded from a Touch Pro to a Desire and im looking at rigging it up in my car. I have a cradle and and a 3.5mm audio cable to connect to my car stereo.
What I also have lying around is an old external mic (i think from an old tomtom) which also has a 3.5mm jack.
Is there an adater that anyone has spotted that would allow me to connect both 3.5mm jacks - one for the mic input (ie handsfree input) and one for the audio out (music, satnav and hands free audio) ?
Ideally it would just be a cheap and cheerful splitter i guess ?
Thoughts anyone ?
I have searched for the splitter you are talking about for months, unsuccessfuly...
I got myself one of these. A bit of DYI and it works perfectly!
Hi,
This is my first smartphone without headphone jack. I usually charge my phone while listening to music in my car (it's old, stereo doesn't support Bluetooth, just 3.5mm jack) and I'm wondering if one of this adapters will work.
If not, do you have any advice on how can I do this?
Thank you!
