Hi,
My Vario II justification to the misses was that we'd be able to listen to music in the car with it (our CD player is dead).
Has anyone come across an FM transmitter that you can power from the car cigar lighter and plug directly into the mini usb socket on the TyTN?
Cheers,
Steve.
I'm looking for the same thing
I bought a SONY MEX5000 BT stereo that uses Bluetooth streaming. It is so cool! much better quality(sound) then the radio ones. I dont carry CDs anymore just everything over BT with MP3s.

and how to connect ?
--> no way @ this moment ...
Try Nokia HS-12W. Google to see how it looks like.
It is a bluetooth Stereo Headset which you can listen to MP3 played from Tytn.
It is also a standalone FM Radio by itself without the Tytn at all.
I have one, cool.
Hi and is there a bluetooth receiver taht one can plug into a stereo ?
HS-12W is a Wireless (no wire between it and phone) Stereo Headphone via Bluetooth with Build in FM Radio.
What I meant about the bluetooth reciever is if there is one that tha pda streams music and is recieved by a device that can be plugged into the home stereo, same principle as a headset only differance is that it'll go to speakers.....hop I made it clearer this time... or maybe it's that I am not gettin it jaja
You are refering to Home Stereo Hi-Fi Amplifier/Receiver to speakers. Well it is something I was thinking about some years ago when I first read the white paper on Bluetooth v2.0 A2DP Profile.
But Hi-Fi industry in term of following latest trend is normally a little slower than the computer & mobile industry. So far, not that I know of that there is a build in Bluetooth Hi-Fi system including speakers. Maybe it is time to do a google on this topic, it would be good if there is such solution to get rid of the messy wire connections.
I do know that there is such thing as Bluetooth Donger, which is a bluetooth device with a headphone jack and you can plug the headphone jack into the Hi-Fi headphone jack and bingo you have wireless music with you wireless headphone, but bluetooth is quite subject to surrounding interfence, so you may have broken music in your ears.
The is also some not so good old technology using Infra-Red. The better ones are the wireless headphone sets using RF frequency which you can listen to music even you and your hi-fi are in different room.
Hope I got your question right this time.
Hey CWKJ,
Thanx for your reply. Look at the following link:
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=130588
It's a bluetooth speaker, but what I am looking for is something that can make any car home stereo into a bluetooth reciever...
You mean something like the Tunestage II for the iPOD?
http://www.techdigest.tv/2006/10/belkins_tunesta.html
I'm looking for something similar that will plug into a car stereo - i.e. a bluetooth receiver which will plug into the external input of my car stereo, so I can stream to it from my TyTN - anyone know of anything?
PS Yes, I have seen the Parrot MK6000, but I don't think its out until Q1 2007....
BINGO!! Yes like this, only that you don't need the transmitter (tytyn would be it!).
check out the I-Tech S35 clip. A2DP receiver with a 5mm headset jack. You can cable this to your car with an adaptor cable. The I-Tech doesn't skip either!
Yes! this seems to work! jajaj do you actually use it? or know of someone that has used it with this purpose?
Once again thank you for your responses!
I've not used it myself for this purpose. I've no doubt that it will work though. What I am interested in is the usable range. The applicaton I have in mind will require 4-5 meter range from the I-Tech device to my TyTN.
C.R
Ok, you are talking about car hi-fi system, the speaker looks good.
For Home hi-fi system, maybe there isn't bluetooth audiophile speaker yet.
For the car hi-fi system, there are some with the audio output (the Left - Right or White - Red cable build-in type audio output cable). Buy another cable adaptor (Left - Right/White - Red to stereo headphone cable) and the Bluetooth Donger, connect them up and you will have the audio on you bluetooth speaker. Hope this works!

Does anyone know if the HTC P3350 W100 Wired Remote Control
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=147564[/URL]
will work with the Cingular 8525 (Hermes, TyTN)? This is sold in Europe and can be had in the US from Mobile Planet which seems to be the same as expansys.com.
On the European HTC site there is also a media fix that may apply to this accessory as well as the Y connector.
HTC audio Drivers
Downloading and installing this driver update will provide your HTC mobile device with the latest available optimised software for use with the following accessories:
YC A120 Y-Cable adaptor
The hot music setup for Mogul and 8525
I just purchased the HTC RC W100 Remote from Mobile Planet. It connects to the phone's extUSB and provides a 3.5mm headset jack that carries the mic port out to the connector. It has a 36" cord so there is a lot of cord if you have a long headset cord.
The head has controls for fast forward, pause, +/- volume and you can answer/end calls, mute and put a call on/off hold. This assumes that you have a mic on your headset to talk into.
The http://www.Europe.HTC.Com site says it is for the TyTn II but it seems to work with both the 8525 and the Mogul . . . It is not on the USA site at all.
I use the Sure SE110s stereo headset (individual internal sub-woofer component) and added their MPA-C cable that has a mic in it (Thsi would work for any headset). I have not found any other solutions that wok this well.
The standard headset really has poor quality and is uncomfortable for my ears. Bluetooth is either a mono headset w/ mic or a stereo headset (no mic) and the battery life is unpredictable.
This way I can ride my bike and control my music while the Mogul stays in my camel-back and when a call comes I can actually answer it and then go back to listening.
Very cool setup.
So this doesn't solve the headphone problem? Can't I just buy this and a pair of headphones? I don't need handfree anyway
E: Why a 36'' cord? I totally lost interest

I do not know what headset problem you are referring to but this is definitely a solution if you want to listen to music with a good stereo headset. I just happen to like the Shure stuff because they eliminate some road and wind noise while I am riding my bike or skiing. Also the higher end ones actually have miniature tweeters and sub-woofers built in.
All you need is the W100 and any headset with a 3.5mm jack.
As it turns out, I just found out the unit has a built-in mic and that eliminates the need for a more expensive headset that has a mic. There was nothing in the manual that came with it that talked about the mic! So RTFB does not work!
It also comes with a small disc that has the driver in it. I tried to install it on my Mogul but it said that I had the latest driver . . .
As far as the 36" cord, my Shure headset comes in 2 pieces, the earphones are on a short cord so it is not too long. If you had a standard headset, it might get a little long.
The other side of the Shure headset has the connectors that go into the device(s). This way you can have several different connectors for different phones, MP3 players, etc. Blackberry's and Razor's have different jacks and most cell phones like the HTC 8125 (Cingular) use a 2.5 mm jack.
I found this Bluetooth car unit last weekend and would like to share with you all.
In my own experience, this is the best one I ever tried.
LiquidAUX™ Bluetooth® Car Kit
http://us.kensington.com/html/14484.html
I got it for total $75 in Comp USA. This unit plugs directly to car cigaratte power plug, and the 3.5 mm audio jack plugs to your car AUX port. Yes, its designed for car stereo that has an audio AUX plug. I know there are some products that also integrate FM transmitter for feeding the audio to the car stereo, and I have tried those, but this one is much better if your car has an AUX input and you simply need to add a bluetooth connection to your phone.
The microphone is very good, even though my power plug in deep buried, and I was thinking to extend the plug with an extension cord, but indeed it still works well.
It auto connect to my HD when I turn on the car, and it transmits both phone and music (A2DP) with a very good sound quality.
It comes with a remote control that you can tied to your steering wheel to make it even better. Our HD does not have a DPAD and controlling music playing has been a challenge in the car. With this remote, all those issue no longer there.
I used to use a direct cable connection to connect my HD to my car stereo, and sometimes when I simply forget or feel lazy and just want to go right away, I will not be able to accept call or play music from my HD. With this BT connection, when I walk in to my car and switch it on, it auto connects to the HD, and the remote works right away to start playing music or make a phone call.
The previous BT dongle I used to have, such as the itech BT dongle, or the Jabra BT dongle, I always have issue to swith them on, swith them off, and sometimes it does not connect, and then have to remember to charge them once in a while.
With this unit, I don't have all of those issues, and it simply merges together nicely with my car stereo as if it has BT integrated.
I highly recommend it, if you have a AUX port in your car stereo. If you have a casette player, it should work also, but you would like to use a coupler to connect the both 3.5 mm audio jack together.
I got one of these from for about £40 from Amazon, but I had the problem of the cig lighter always being on show, which was annoying.
I go this handsfree kit, http://www.parrot.com/uk/products/hands-free-car-kits, which is by far the best I have ever used. Has full iPod support, 3.5mm jack and usb support.
Full colour screen and phonebook storage / voice dial.

Yep, parrot really works fine both with my HTC Touch Cruise(P3650) as the HTC Touch HD
I use the xcarlink USB/SD adaptor with bluetooth module. It plugs directly into the CD changer port of the stereo, allows me to charge my phone via the USB port whilst streaming audio through the bluetooth connection. Audio auto-pauses when I receive calls, which also use the stereo speaker system and music functionality is controlled via the normal stereo controls or the cars steering wheel controls. Track time, etc., is displayed on the normal car stereo display.
There are a few functionality niggles, but they are easily overcome with a dash mount for the phone and a skin for mobile media player that has large buttons. I designed a skin, just for use in the car, so everything is really easy now.
My car does not have an aux port for the simple solution, so about a year ago I reluctantly invested in this guy:

I've used countless wireless transmitters in the past and they were all garbage. You'd have to have the phone right up against the radio, and even then it wasn't that clear. This is by far the best product I've used for the purpose. You can connect via bluetooth or even a 3.5mm headphone port(cable included) on the side. My phone doesn't have to be anywhere NEAR the unit for it to work perfectly. It also comes with a microusb cable that plugs directly into a usb port on the unit, to charge while it plays. I highly recommend this product.
motorola roadster
I use the motorola roadster.
You can find an OEM version for about ~ $40 if you google search for it.
I use it along with voice command. You touch a button on the speaker phone and my S2 lights up and asks for a command. Ofcourse it also has FM transmitter mode and it has a play/pause button, though it doesn't seem to work with the stock music player, but the play/pause works with Winamp.
Not as nice as the bluetooth built into my wife's 2012 murano radio but on my older 2002 pathfinder this works great.
Thats cool. Does it matter how you set a station? Does it have static like regular "transmitters" ? I used to use/try one with my zune, and it was awful.
My friend plugged his in with an AUX jack (from top of phone into car radio) and it played stereo/cd quality
My car doesn't have an aux jack but I think it can be done for 20-40$? maybe
with the motorola roadster how do you set the fm transmitter?
I'll be honest with you - I've never seen an FM transmitter that wasn't horrible.
I'd invest in a new headunit (with an aux input, or MAYBE bluetooth if you must have wireless) and a wiring harness adapter kit over any FM transmitter, any day of the week.
I'm in the same boat as the OP, my car doesn't even support an aftermarket stereo due to the Bose/HUD integration and I got the FlexSmart and love it as well. Would certainly recommend to anyone.
I'm with Edgarhighman . How's the audio quality? Any static?

I'm thinking I'll DIY aux input or have a store down the street do it
I'm not yet fond of splicing, soldering, or using a heat gun =/
VERY minimal static. Nothing that is even close to hindering the experience.
Anyone been successful in streaming music/audio books from the ATT GS2 to their Mygig nav/radio system (I have a 2011 Dodge Nitro, latest firmware)?
The Captivate did not work correctly either. :/
I have a 3.5mm jack but Bluetooth should work dang it!
Cy
if u want wireless music, here is a solution which is what im doing in my 2006 bmw 325xi.
i have a 3.5mm audio input, so i bought a bluetooth audio receiver and plugged it into the 3.5mm slot in my armrest and there is a 12v power input there too, so i have everything inside my armrest plugged in and then my phone is transmitting to the receiver and bam wireless audio in my car!
might not be an ideal situation for you, but this is how im doing it. although i do have bluetooth integrated into my stock head unit, but its for only phone calls, i tried to use some apps found in the market that stream to mono bluetooth headsets (ear piece) i assumed it would of worked in my car, but no luck :/
so i hope this helps!
Hey guys .. I posted in the accessory forum as well.. I am not sure exactly where I should post this question.
Okay, I have an older car (2001 Dodge Stratus)
The stereo is not stock but it is still old and does not have a USB or 3.5mm connection. I used to use my ipod for music so I bought a --static.bhphoto.com/images/images345x345/424579.jpg--- for my car. (It plugs into the cigarette lighter and connects usb to ipod connection).
If I take the connector out I can run USB to Micro USB for my Galaxy s3 and it will charge. However if I go onto google music the sound will not come through my car speakers.
Can my device do this? Do I need a new device, that goes into my cigarette lighter? Do I just need a new stereo? I thought I would be able to still use the same FM transmitter via usb but it seems to not work. Are there 3.5mm cigarette lighter FM transmitters I could use instead? Any help would be awesome. Thanks so much ahead of time.
Connect the S3 with 3.5mm jack to the lighter FM transmitter. You need that cable which has the 3.5mm on both sides.
The one I currently have doesnt have one. It only has a usb connection? But a 3.5mm connection to a lighter fm transmitter should work then.. if I were to buy one?
I guess USB can't transfer the audio? I am just unsure how the ipod works and an android phone cant work on the same connection.

Because it's not the USB connection that is transferring the audio on the iPod either. There's no connection between the cigarette lighter and your stereo.
The music is being fed into the FM transmitter from the iPod (via the connection that also charges it) and is then transmitted into your FM radio wirelessly. It's creating a mini radio station for your car (and close nearby others )
Also, its hard to see from the image, but if your FM transmitter accepts a 3.5mm plug, you can simply get a male-male 3.5mm jack and insert it and the other end to your S3. As suggested by the earlier post

It does not have a 3.5mm plug. But If i were to get a 3.5mm adapter that goes into the cigarrette lighter than it should than be able to communicate wirelessly with the FM transmitter to get the audio through my speakers?

No, there must always be a physical connection between your S3 or iPod and your FM transmitter. The transmitter then converts the signal to an FM signal and it's picked up by your car stereo and speakers.
I haven't seen any FM transmitters that allow you to dock your S3 and charge/transmit the music to the FM transmitter. Possibly, you may find one if you search some. Otherwise there seems to be many FM transmitters that allow you to plug in a 3.5mm plug so that's easy enough. However, your phone won't be charged at the same time (dunno if that is an issue?)
EDIT:
Guess i was wrong. There is something on the market which has charging and FM transmitter in 1 unit: http://www.amazon.com/Dashview-Transmitter-charger-handsfree-Samsung/dp/B006GWD1FM
Note, im not recommending that product or something, just the first result in Google when i searched
