so I was listening to police scans on my topaz, when i realized that we lack something that could be very useful. What if an app simulated the USB headset on the topaz so that the car's headunit would let me transmit sound that way instead of an aux cable (similar to, and maybe emulating, ipod control mode). I think the main advantage would be that usb transmits a much higher quality and more channels than 2 channel aux, but also that it would let you select your music straight from the topaz instead of searching on my headunit (which is a pain in the ass to folder browse with)
any thoughts? something like this already exist?
edit - this is the best i could find, but im not talking about docking, just audio and charging (through software if possible)

edit2 - my headunit has a front USB port, that is what I intend to use
I just made this discovery - I bought a samsung dock when I got my 7+ thinking it was the hdmi dock, sadly I didn't read the description properly, as it was desktop dock ( charging and audio out only ) so ended up also buying the hdmi adapter. By connecting the adapter to the dock, it still outputs video via hdmi with the device docked, but can still output audio via the 2.5 audio jack, that makes it much more versatile, ie video out via hdmi-dvi to pc monitor / dvi only tv such as older plasma and audio out to a seperate a/v receiver etc. This could be useful for anyone who hasn't got up to date tech.
Hi all.
So I want to have audio output to both, simultaneously, to a remote Bluetooth-receiver (which is on the other side of my bedroom's wall) and to a stereo 3.5mm connection next to my phone.
Right now, I can have audio to one, but not both (Bluetooh, OR, 3.5mm).
After much searching, I am 50% happy using the app Turbo Alarm because it can play audio simultanously to my Bluetooth receiver and the phone's loud Speaker, but NOT to the phone's 3.5mm plug (silent).
Any thing you know that can do the trick ?
Thank you all.

The hardware in your device is designed to only output audio one way or the other, not two or three. It's a limitation built into the hardware, you aren't gonna change it.
There is, however, a solution to your problem, it involves external hardware.
You will need a 3.5mm Y cable and a Bluetooth audio transmitter, plug the cable in your 3.5mm audio jack, connect whatever device you were gonna run via audio jack to one side of the Y cable, connect the Bluetooth audio transmitter to the other side of the Y cable.
This will allow playing audio to both but it won't allow them to listen to different media, they will hear both receive the same audio.
If you want the listening devices to be able to play different audio independently, then you'll have to consider other hardware such as wireless flash drive, it can stream audio to up to 8 devices and stream video to 3 devices, each of them watching or listening to different things independently of each other.

Right now I'm connecting my Chord Hugo2 audio DAC to my Note10+ directly via usb-c to micro-b cable and using various music apps to play music. The chain is like this: Phone --> USBC to microb cable--> hugo2 --> headphones Will I be able connect my DAC to my portable dex setup as well? The monitor will be powered via powerband. I was considering a few possibilities:
1. USB c splitter from phone: one end goes to the portable monitor to operate dex the other to the DAC
2. Phone --> monitor--> hugo2. In this case the phone will connect to the monitor as normal, the audio data will transfer through the monitor to the Hugo2 and then to my headphones. This is not ideal as the sound will travel through another device(the monitor) before getting to the DAC.
3. DeX pad : it looks like the pad has several outputs, would I be able to connect one of these to the DAC while having it connected to the monitor as well, again as in #2 introducing another component to the audio chain.
Background:
I have Galaxy Note 9
also have 2 bluetooth speakers - Marshal Tufton that also have aux input.
Initially I used them with the Note 9 bluetooth dual audio solution, however they often desync and I have to reconnect them which is very annoying.
Also tried with regular AUX spliter, however the volume is a lot lower than the bluetooth variant.
Question 1:
Is it possible to use the Aux and the USB-C(converted with Aux adapter-C adapter) to output media audio at the same time?
Question 2: Is there such thing as portable Audio splitter and amplifier(with integrated battery), I searched in aliexpress but found only amplifiers that are with single output aux or amplifiers + splitters that are not portable (require wall charge).
