Auxiliary cable is what I use.....maybe Bluetooth could work? I'd try but I have a basic non Bluetooth head unit

I have a Sony MEX-BT3700 on my Harley and a BT3900 in my Dodge. Both stream BT audio absolutely fine. Your question is confusing, though. The radio doesn't have to support Pandora, specifically, it just has to support A2DP. I prefer to use Slacker, but both work fine in the truck and on the bike.
Some stereos have app support and you can utilize it to control Pandora etc moreso than simply skipping/pause/play. The newer version of my Kenwood dnx series has this feature. My version is older and only supports simple controls over bt

I understand that. My point is that it isn't necessary to have a perfectly good streaming experience. What else do you need to do other than Play, Pause, Skip and volume control? Anything else would be dangerous as it would require you to look at the radio and take your attention off driving. My unit will auto pause when I get out of the truck so I can pick up where I left off when I get back in.

So you're saying its safer to look at your phone to see what song is playing?
Sent from my GT-I9100
When I feel the need to see what song is playing (as opposed to just listening to it), this is where I mount my phone in the truck. Works great for nav, too.

Even if the head unit could display the song title or artist, I would still have to take my eyes off the road to see it, so I don't see the need. I try to limit the temptation to be distracted while driving my 6100 pound truck. YMMV.
Well thanks for responding. Was looking for app control on radio so I could use steering wheel controls. But if I can't get stereo without, I'm going to get mount and a good BT deck

thats the head unit i have in my car. steering wheel controls, bluetooth module, the whole nine yards. when i play pandora over BT, i get basic controls on screen and those carry over to my steering wheel.
rewind/stop/play/pause/fast fwd
the stereo itself doesnt have capabilities to read the apps, but it allows for basic BT controls like mentioned.
the newer version of this head unit actually has support for reading the apps and displaying things like pandora information on screen.
New model requires bt adaptor I was looking at kenwood cuz of the parrot bt but the units that have it integrated are crazy expensive. Seen a kenwood single din with navi but just did phonebook no a2dp

I have steering wheel controls also and they work fine with the phone. Most of the time I leave the phone in the case on my belt and don't even bother to put it in the car mount. I had to buy an adapter to interface the head unit to the steering wheel controls, but it was less than $50 and works great. The head unit has to have the mini-jack to support the controls, but most do these days.
I got my adapter from these people.

This is what you're looking for Sony DSX-S310BTX, bluetooth connectivity, full control of pandora. Thumbs up/down, changing stations, song/artist display, etc. I'm really pleased with mine. Unlike everyone else is saying for other radio systems this one does NOT require additional modules to get full features. And is very reasonably priced, I only payed $230 for mine.
I would post a link to it, but XDA prevents me from being overly helpful.. >.<

This unit will still need a module to interface between the head unit and the car's steering wheel controls. My Sony units cost less than $160 and I can do almost everything with both Pandora and Slacker in my truck and on my Harley when connected via BT. I can also do the same with the stock music player. I don't see the point in having to be able to thumbs up/down or see the song/artist while driving. We lived without these functions in our cars for decades. Driving is dangerous enough without adding useless distractions. Hell, ride a motorcycle and you'll see how bad people are at just driving and talking on the phone. Do you really want to give them more to do behind the wheel?
My clarion cz500 has built in Bluetooth a2dp and steering wheel control capabilities(even tho I use the remote instead). Got it on Amazon about a year ago for like 150. Not to mention great quality sound.
Edit: just checked and you can get the CZ500 for like 125 or the newer model the CZ501 for 165 on Amazon.

Looks good, but does Pandora control only work with an iPhony?
Yeah I know but I can skip tracks from steering wheel.I didn't know it had some basic control over phone while paired over bt.
It said it has advanced Bluetooth ,I guess it does

I said that I can do all that with the BT radio I have and my truck's steering wheel controls without Pandora support.

I know many of you already use your Moguls for everything including GPS and MP3's but I wanted to share my in car setup. I'm using the Seidio charging stereo audio out car kit which swivels from portrait to landscape orientation. This is specially designed for the Mogul and allows the keyboard to be used as you can see from the photos. I have the audio out from the cradle running into my car's aux audio input for great sound quality from mp3/wma's and the gps audio. I use bluetooth when using the phone which pauses/resumes the music. I use TTN6, Live Search and Google Maps with the dcd2.1 rom with GPS and revA enabled. The whole package just works awesome!! I am so pleased compared to having a separate BT GPS receiver with my Treo 600wx. It also works great for the occasional ORB streamed TV show or movie while in traffic Here are some pics. Looks great at night too!!

Hello fellow BMW driver. I've got my Seidio dock on order for my '98 540 6-spd.
Hey SR - Glad to find someone who has actually purchased this dock.
I saw it on their site and it did look to be the most feature packed mount.
Two Questions...
1 - How good are the mounting options? (suction cup, vent clips etc...)
2 - How exactly (what type of port) does the external DC Power outlet work? (is it a USB plug? standard DC Car tube or simply a pigtail with USB Mini on it?)
Sorry I know those questions aren't exactly on topic with the thread title but your the only one I know who actually has the seido...
It was a bit pricey but I'm willing to pay for good stuff.
I have a similar setup, but I made my own car mount that does charging and audio. I can't open the KB though. I made it because the seidio was too big, bulky, expensive and overkill, and there were no other mounts that did charging and audio. See here:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/703685-post18.html
What mp3 player do you use? Pocket player is awesome. I sync with my library on my computer to my 8gb microSD with WMP11 then use PocketPlayer on my mogul. The library browser is very nice. It has a touch scroll interface. I can't wait to show off to someone with an ipod touch.
Asphyx, the mounting options are basically suction cup flexible arm or air vent clips. I use the air vent clips and they work fine. They can be a bit difficult to remove once locked though. I find it vibrates and bounces around less than the suction cup arm route. The external DC power outlet has a DC tube type jack and it comes with a cigarette lighter power cable. You can also get one that wires directly into your car's power block if you want. The thing works very well. To me it seems a bit overpriced but is the only adapter I have found that will do what it does. It is very stable, holds the device well and it's easy to insert and remove the Mogul. Sound quality is great through my aux audio input and love having the keyboard open as it makes navigating WMP, Tom Tom and other software effortless.
Thanks Shadow...
I know it does seem expensive but it is the first one I have ever seen that will do landscape and not use the padded pincers (which press buttons you don't want pressed) to hold the unit in place...
I think I'll bite the bullet and get it.
Thanks for the review!
One additional note, I opened mine up(yes, this voids the warranty) and unplugged the internal speaker. I never use that anyway and I was getting some low level buzzing from the speaker even with the volume control on the cradle turned all the way down. Maybe interference from the Mogul's radio? Not sure. Anyway, that worked fine as there is a small connector inside the unit to easily disconnect the speaker(although I am not advocating doing this). Also, sometimes the wifi button gets turned on when you slide the mogul into the cradle. not a huge issue but FYI.
Thanks Again SR...
So the buzz is just on the internal speaker not the audio out you ran to the Car system?
correct, it was coming from the internal speaker I think related to some interference with the phone's wifi or cellular radio but went away after I disconnected the speaker.
What software are you using to get the music to pause when a call comes in? Mine keeps playing, but you can't hear it until I hang up the phone. I use bluetooth and GSPlayer for my mp3 player.
Dan
damcis, GSPlayer is not phone-aware software. Meaning, it will keep on chugging away at your mp3's regardless of the phone calls coming in.
In order to do the automatic-pause-resume thing, you have to use something like the built in Windows Media Player or HTC Audio Manager. Both of those are aware of the phone part of your device, whereas your average software is not.
Now, as far as this in-dash setup... it looks pretty sweet. But I went a simpler and more future-proof method.
I ripped out my Nissan factory stereo and installed a Sony BT2500 bluetooth head unit. It supports A2DP, so absolutely no cables or anything are required. Basically, get in the car, press play, and whatever playlist happens to be open in your device will immediately start coming out of the car's speakers.
The quality is surprisingly good, and you don't even need to take your phone out of your pocket!!! (great for those short trips around the corner- I find that hooking up my phone to one of those units and then unplugging/plugging when I leave and come back is sometimes more of a hassle than its worth. Imagine being able to play your music just by having your phone ON you)
Now, as far as navigation goes, I bought myself one of those cheapo $5 (shipped) plastic belt holsters from ebay, which can hold the phone face in or face out.
Because my particular vehicle (Sentra) has a compartment on the center of the dashboard, I was able to mount a loop that attaches from inside the compartment and the belt holster clips onto it very easily, and holds it securely.
The advantages of doing it my way:
-If not using GPS or going on short drives, you don't actually need to connect ANYTHING! You can leave the phone in your pocket...
-No propietary parts means that this setup is future-proof, and cross-platform. The a2dp stereo will still be there when/if I switch to another phone, and when my wife drives the car, her phone syncs up and plays music as well (samsung standard fare). The OP's setup here is 6800-specific.
-When not using the device, my "holster" can unclip from the loop and stow away (holster and loop) into the compartment of my dashboard. Instant cleanup, nothing cluttering up the dashboard.
-Can hold the device, or pass it to someone else in the car without disconnecting anything. (Last night handed the phone to my sister in law in the backseat to control the music while still connected over a2dp)
-Clean, less dashboard space used, even when holster is out and car charger connected.
Disadvantages:
-Have to take it out of the holster in order to use the keyboard.
-um... that's about it?
Anyway, I'll try to take some pictures soon and post them so you can see what I'm talking about.
Quick question. Has anyone tried streaming their music library using ORB and connecting their mogul to a car stereo? I am curious if the sound would be any good or if the connection is too choppy? Just curious. Thanks.

works fine. Even at 1x data.
Think about this... low quality mp3 is encoded at 64kbps. Standard/medium quality (often referred to as CD-Quality) mp3 is 128kbps. Higher Quality is around 190kpbs, and audiophiles prefer to keep it at 200-300kpbs (although most people can't tell the difference at that bitrate).
If your EVDO connection is averaging 600-800kbps, its more than enough speed to stream mp3's in FULL quality.
1x data is around 120k, so even if you're not in an EVDO area, you should still be able to get at least "CD-Quality" stereo!
I used ORB to stream my mp3s from home when I first got my mogul...and it worked great...now its not working again with the new ROM
Been thinking of a car mount myself. I found out that with GStreamer I can stream music from my home MP3 server. Still need to work on how to secure it, but it would let me stream any of my music over EVDO to my phone.
Is the internal GPS worth it? Been thinking about flashing but not sure if I want to do all the work...would have to setup a windows partition on my Linux box to sync correctly
wow i like that mount and it looks like you have a 3 series! new body, thats my favorite car, i want the 335 coupe BADLY. I been using my phone as Mp3 in my Nissan maxima for the longest, works wonders and if a phone call comes in, music stops and take call from my bt headset. But a mount would make a world of difference. How much you get that mount for?
I am having issues with the adapter to bluetooth handoff and back. Using WMP, sometimes things will transfer properly to my headset, but then when the phone tries to resume music it will skip the current song saying the "Device is not ready". This is problematic because I mostly listen to podcasts and finding my place again is a PITA.
I was going to try another music program - but it sounds like many of you are having success with WMP. Are you making any tweaks to get good handoffs?
What connection order are you using. IE: Pair BT headset, plug adapter, play music???
Thanks in advance.
I have this mount in my Chevy. Instead of using the suction cup or vent clip i attached a metal bracket (as seen in picture) behind the radio bezel. then i attached the mount to the metal bracket. Ran all my wires back thru dash even ran a external antanna wire. rock solid mount with no bouce or vibration.
Work great with aux input on radio.
the pictures you guys are posting look nice but they don't serve my purpose I already have my ipod connected to my car stereo via ipod jack so i can't use and aux input instead because i want to listen to my music from my ipod. I once seen a holster for a phone that had a speaker attached to it thats the type of setup i need so i can still hear the tom tom announcements over the music through a little amplified speaker... DO THEY MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR THE MOGUL??????
ok im running 5.0.2H and it has stereo bluetooth right? have to make sure of that first lol.
In my car I dont have bluetooth, I just have the standard AUX input. So I was thinking of buying some type of adapter to plug into my AUX plug on my cars headunit that can then connect via bluetooth to my G1 to play stereo music.
Can someone recommend some good devices that would help me get this done? Thanks
didn't your G1 come with a headset??? if so you can plug any normal 3.5mm plug into it and it should work fine foger the dongle thing. personally mt G1 camr with a two piece headset, one that plugged into the phone and allowed a 3.5 mm headset plug, and the earbuds that plugged into the first piece. just get a male/male 3.5mm jack and plug it into the first piece, it should work fine
yes I know I can plug a stereo aux cable into my g1 with the dongle but I dont want to. i want to connect wirelessly via stereo bluetooth
any help please?
I've got a friend who uses this dongle with his car sound system and it seems to do the job pretty well: http://www.porta-charge.co.uk/accessory_0283.html
Also try searching google for '3.5mm bluetooth adapter' and a few show up with some reviews.
EDIT: Actually I think that device I linked to is a transmitter that plugs into his iPod and transmits to his bluetooth stereo. Try googling for '3.5mm bluetooth receiver', seems there's a couple of devices that will do that for you, they seem pricey though.
Something like this, perhaps? http://www.gadgetworld.co.uk/p/Mavizen_BluDock_Bluetooth_Receiver.htm
I'm gonna get this but it the website has really slow shipping times since it's from Hong Kong...

Looks good and a good price too. Pleast post how well it works when you get a chance. Are you running Haykuro?
Im interested in that too.. anyone confirm working?
So considering that godsfilth never posted his evaluation of the Motorola s705 I thought that I would. I figured the specs and price was good, it's still available for $30 from Amazon. Long story short, it works like a charm. For reference I'm now running Dudes .92 with the new radio.
The music streaming connected right away from the default media player. Play, pause, and track changes worked fine. If you hold the "phone" button it will do the voice dialing. I've always found it a bit flaky myself but that's android not the blue tooth adapter.
Once connected it basically acts as the mic and speaker for the phone. The only drawback is that the track controls on the device only work with the default media player. I use mixzing a lot, and the audio comes through fine but if i try to use the controls on the adapter it also launches the default player. I think this might be on the android side though.
Overall, it's well worth the $30.

I just got the s705 in the mail today. The FM receiver works just fine but the BT is a little weird. Like benmyers2941 said, only the default music player will respond to the input from the headset. But when music is playing, every now and then, the playback would pause, then immediately resume at random times. I don't have a clue why. Could the device be faulty, is it my G1, or my FW. I'm running JF's 1.5.
Edit:
I think I have figured out why it was showing these symptoms. I did a wipe and switched to Haykuro's latest and the symptoms went away. After the wipe I realized that I was also running Open Overclock beforehand. If someone could try to use this device while running Open Overclock and confirm/deny that the symptoms are present, then that would point out whether it was the FW or Open Overclock.
Nope. I don't think it's Open OverClock. I think that the device is defective. It will only do that "pause and resume" thing when I'm walking. For what ever reason I can't fathom, it worked perfectly after i made the wipe yesterday. But today, it doesn't work properly. I even put both the phone and s705 in the same pocket. I've tried restarting both while on a walk, but that didn't help. Also, I've had regular conversations on my BT125 with no problem, the same with the default earbuds the phone came with. Does anyone know how I can determine which has the defect?
Well, the usual way - Try the s705 with another phone and/or try your G1 with some other A2DP headset. Can't see any other way to find who to blame.
/Mats
Hey,
Just a thanks to you guys for the headsup about the $13 bluetooth thingy from dealextreme, just got mine yesterday.
When I heard that the G1 had no 3.5mm jack I was really dissapointed.
As gadgeteer and an audiophile, I was keen to try bluetooth stereo out, but to be honest I wasn't really expecting much (I mean, the G1 doesn't even have a equalizer!)
How wrong was I! Sound quality is excellent, I truely am shocked! I could quite happily replace my Sony mp3 player with the G1 and stereo bluetooth.
This little bluetooth jack will keep me happy until the market in bluetooth headphones explodes after Apple enters the fray.
One comment though, sometimes I can hear the pitch of the audio speedup or slowdown.. not sure if this is the receiver or the phone, not too fussed about it though.
Oh, and having no wires running around your body totally rocks!
Yeah, after a few weeks, I'm still very satisfied. With my use (biking to and fro work) it lasts > one week between charges. Haven't noticed any pitch drift - but then all I listen to is .977 The 80s Channel using StreamFurious. Beats the hell out of any OTA radio station where I live!
One thing - Without using too great force, I managed to pry away the clip - and the spring just vanished into thin air! The clip was easy to put back, but now it's just dangling there. So be carfeul when "operating" the clip.

Hi
I need advise wich bluethoot set to use.
I will have a mono set, only on one side of head
Most important
1) works with X10 mini Pro, the person i talk to hear me, and i hear her
2) Fitting to ear, preferably not a thin plastic bow/clamp (ref HTC headset)
thats it. I fitting that let's me work with both hands on a building site.
I would like to get comment from people who have X10 and a working headset.
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately X10 does not support bluetooth headsets.
I've tried 3-4 devices, all have weird noise and problems during calls..
I have spoken to Swisscom about it, they blame sony support and firmware, they offered me refund.
So far the only recommendation on this - give up on X10 with bluetooth, or get another phone.
I have a set of these, works great with my x10mini

I use Plantronics Explorer 210 with my x10 mini, no problems so far.

Samsung WEP 200 working just fine here since Android 1.6.
o.k.. after having the MW600 for a few weeks now.. I have to say I love it!!
The battery seems to last ages!! I use it almost every day for at least a couple of hours for listening to Music when I am out and about, I also use it to stream Music from my Ubuntu laptop to my stereo (for hours at a time) and also skype calls from Ubuntu and I am amazed at how long the battery lasts. (at least 10 hours of Music.. perhaps more.. seems like I hardly ever have to charge it!!)
Call quality is great too..
pity about the song id and caller id not showing up with the X10mini but I don't really miss it too much. (and thats a fault of the phone not the headset)
I have also tried it with decent full Hifi headphones and it sounds really sweet.
My only real gripe is the volume control is a bit stupid (I tend to have my mini in my Jacket pocket and control the volume from there instead (its winter now so my hands are always in my jacket pocket anyway..) and with gloves on the phone control is the only way to go.
anyway Highly recomended if your in the market for a good stereo BT headset
Ive got plantonics 520 works great for me
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
I use Jabra BT3030 and as far as I can notice everything works just fine ...
I have not used a Mono BT headset with mine X10 Mini
But three BT Stereo headset.
Excel PSHC122 (Actually a noname that been branded by a chain)
Samsung SBH650 (Most probably designed with Samsung phones in mind)
I-tech S35 (Low cost)
All three works with the X10 Mini (and hence also with the Pro)
Just having problem with the Samsung one which Pause/play-button won't work with the XY-(video)player from Android Market.
All three does work flawless for phonecalls
I guess just look for BT mono/stereo headset that suits you and be sure it will work with your X10 Mini Pro

Hello, Is the song/caller id bug fixed in the latest version?
What do you mean with volume control is stupid? I cycle a lot and, I find it important that the volume control and next song is easy to reach..

Nope, SE can't seem to get their TrackID and Caller ID working in Android (Even with the latest firmware.. still nice to know when I get a real phone.. HTC, Samsung or Motorola I will get those features )
and what I mean about the volume control is that its a touch control.. not a physical button or knob.. so can't be operated through gloves but its o.k once you are used to it.
I do find if the controller is buried under a jacket the forward and back buttons can be pushed by accident (Its only really annoying if your listening to an audiobook and it accidently flicks you forward a chapter) , its just a matter of clipping it somewhere where it can't get bumped/crushed, I clip it onto the strap of my bag when I am cycling or walking
Still really happy with the battery life and the audio quality, and the fact I can use my big ass headphones to keep my ears warm in winter

Ok, I'm using the mw600 now. I'm pretty content with it. It's easy to use, no more hassle with the cords. I clip it to my t-shirt or shirt. Still no track/caller display. A pity, but honest, I would not look to it anyway.
One small, but difficult thing.. Sometimes, when on a long trip, I would like to make voice recordings. Would it be possible, say, with an android application that notices when I press the call button on the mw600, and then starts recording. Possible saving date/hour/location too?
I tried searching for "android recording bleutooth", and while some apps support the recording using a bleutooth headset, one still has to use the gsm to start and stop recording. It would be important not to have to take gsm, it should be safely in the backpack.
Cool idea..
Not sure how you would go about disabling the voice dial (or hijacking it) I am sure a good DEV would be able to figure something out.. (it would work for normal wired headsets too.. if they could figure out a way to do it.. so would be quite a popular app)

which bluetooth headset can work with all sounds? GPS, Music, calls?

MW 600
I also use the SE MW600. I can confirm that it's a really nice piece of electronics. I'm using it with Winamp for Android, too. This third-party-app reacts to the MW-600's buttons, but only if you enable that in Winamp's settings.
Last week, I had to buy a new MW-600. I had to realize that it does not like too much water
There is another thing I like with this phone: You can exchange the earphones. I specially got a pair with clamps over the ears, so that they won't fall off when jogging.
---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------
I can confirm, that the MW-600 shows the phone number of the caller (but not his name).
I can also confirm, that Mini Pro does not have a suitable implementation of the AVRCP bluetooth profile. TrackID needs version 1.3 and our Mini Pro has 1.0 (as far as I know).
Since someone shortly submitted a fix for this in the cyanogen team, I'm hoping that the custom ROMs based on Cyanogen will shortly bring me TrackID.
does anyone know any that support caller ID?

Eh my stereo already does this. I just turn bluetooth on and I can call and play music through it. I use it many time. But this is a good idea for people that do not have that feature. If you don't have a headphone jack, you can always buy a radio transmitter.

Ordered! Hopefully it doesn't get stuck in customs too!
I ended up going with this ( newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982446 ) Samsung Stereo Clip-On Bluetooth Headset for Samsung HS3000
My reasons for going with this one is that it has added functionality and at half the cost. (it does support AptX, mentioned on the original product page and amazon, but not on newegg for some reason)
This adapter allows me to use a Male to Male 3.5mm adapter to do the same thing as the Stereo clip. In addition, the Samsung has a built in mic, and allows me to add bluetooth functionality to any set of headphones/earbuds. (also, longer battery life)
Performance review?
Many times I have been disappointed by the audio quality of streamed Bluetooth. It sounds like absolute crap in any car stereo I've heard to date compared to a direct line in or even a cassette adapter. It seems to lose all clarity and power... Is this product truly the game changer? I have a 2012 Civic SI which has Bluetooth and aux in, and except for phone calls the Bluetooth will never be used until the quality comes up to par.
Before anyone gets angry, yes I understand the concept of this device is so that the Bluetooth communication is now between it and the phone, thus Id be plugging it into my aux port. However I re-iterate, in my experience any use of Bluetooth as a way to stream audio gives a very poor performance... would pick this up in a heart beat if it finally changed that! Please let us know!

Jesus, I'm so pissed by your post. Total crap. LOl, nah I'm just playing. No bit seriously, I had and returned the Belkin Air cast which I used in my 2010 Chevy Impala, and surprisingly the sound quality was even better compared to me plugging it directly into the AUX jack. Which was totally unexpected. Just returned it cause I'm actually on my way to Sprint right now to by this stereo clip thingy. Just to give it a shot. Hell, maybe a new case as well, until my Otter comes in. Good to see a thread on this.

The HTC Bluetooth StereoClip is worth getting if you are a music lover. The reason is AptX, which is supported by both the StereoClip and the HTC EVO 4g LTE (but very few older devices at this point). AptX is a new method for streaming bluetooth audio, which trumps the older A2DP standard. In my opinion, it sounds as good as (if not better) than plugging a 3.5mm cable directly into your car audio.
Also keep in mind that while many high-end or luxury cars may already have bluetooth cababilities, I can bet you that those cars support only A2DP bluetooth audio, and not the newer AptX technology. Check your user manual.

availability?
has anyone found a working sprint or at&t link to order it?
The corporate stores in my area are giving me the bs line that the product hasn't cleared customs...
I found it online http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-car-stereoclip-audio-bridge-a100.html but i'd much rather pay $60 than $70....
I asked this in the Q&A but no one really answered.
Can you use a direct plug in for music in the car? My car has bluetooth for calls only and not streaming music.
I used to use a male headphone jack and still do but I can't change the settings to get audio out the headphone jack.
I see a default for voice and music but the music options only the bluetooth.
I can't be the only person who wants to use the car dock + headphone jack and bluetooth for calls can I?

Yes I can but I'm trying to eliminate the cable.
The main reason is that I have the HTC Car dock and when I pug the audio cord into the 3.5mm port I get a buzzing sound. Some people have commented it could be a grounding issue with the charger, but I have never had the problem before and it disappears as soon as I take the phone out of the dock. I really like the dock though so it's forcing my hand into seeing how the stereo clip works out even though I'm not entirely thrilled about paying $60 for it... regarding your comment when I use the 3.5mm for music it works so long as I have the aux in selected as my source on my car. Then my car is smart enough to have the bluetooth override it when a call comes in. I have a 2012 Honda Civic SI.
Hopefully someone can help us out and post a link?

Got my Samsung adapter from Newegg on Friday. Works great in my car.
sprint removed it...
every link that I follow from blog posts to Sprint's own website brings up a blank page...
Is there anyone that has a working sprint or at&t product link to order the stereoclip?
Or any link at all to order it for less than $69.99?
HTCpedia
Has anyone ever ordered from Shop.HTCpedia.com?
Good experience or bad?
Have any discount or coupon code?
They seem like the only ticket in town to buy the stereoclip...
All local Sprint Stores were out of stock and an employee told me their warehouse had no inventory. I was also forced to go through HTCpedia. I ordered on Friday and received it Monday with expedited shipping (NY to CA).
BTW - I hooked it up to my home stereo and noticed that the sound cuts out if I cover the plastic upper backing (glossy part) of the phone with my hand. I'm not sure how this will affect its use in my car yet.

Cool. It'd be nice to know if I wasted my money on expedited shipping.
Also, the stereo clip works perfectly in the car. I don't know why it was cutting out in my home stereo, but it's totally fine in the car. Covering up any part of the phone has no effect on the audio.
Update: It works great
I received my stereoclip yesterday. I had ordered it from shop.htcpedia.com and selected the free shipping option. The total cost was $69.99. I had been having issues with buzzing/ static when using my aux cord when the phone was in the official HTC car dock. After having tried several different aux cords and several power adapters I finally gave in and paid for the stereoclip. I am now very happy that I did because I have one of the nicest phone set ups that I have ever had in my car. The sound quality is excellent. It sounds exactly as clear as using a high quality aux cord. I don't really notice any delay like others have reported as well. One thing that I am still working on is getting it to connect automatically instead of having to go into the bluetooth options on the phone. Hopefully this will be a quick fix. Below are some pics of my car set up. I purchased a sprint charger that has the additional slot for another usb device and also a 6" micro usb cable to run straight into the stereoclip. I then used a few cable ties to hold down the charging cable onto my dash so it doesn't fly around.

So the stereo clip lets u charge it and play music at the same time? And no buzz from the stereoclip while it is charging? Looks like this is what I'm going to have to do too
Yes with this set up you can charge the clip and play music at the same time. No buzz through the audio at all. Yes it was more expensive than I wanted, however it's done and over with now and I at least have a good working setup.
First, my car doesn't have bluetooth audio stream but it has AUX and USB ports. I used to use iphone cable (AUX & USB to iphone) to listen to music and it sounded good. However, with NOTE, I tried to AUX cable, it sounded terrible. Tried USB port using "USB utilities" from the phone and it doesn't work.
What do you guys use to listen to music from your car? What should I do to get my good quality of music back in to my car? Should I switch my car?
Aux or bluetooth, both sound quite fine, maybe is a problem with the aux port of your phone/headunit,?

I used AUX on my old car and it worked just fine. Music sounded the same with my Note and my wife's iPhone and my Windows Phone before that.
I use bluetooth in my new car, and although it skips a couple times when it connects, after the first couple of minutes it sounds just as it does when i connect it to the AUX.
I have never tried to use the USB interface, though...
What type of aux cable are you using, that can make a major difference if it's just a cheapo one

Very true! The Note is very picky when it comes to AUX wire. I used a cheap iphone one and it only played on one side of the car and was very low. Then tried using my bros quality Aux wire and it sounded great.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
NOTE user:
"take a deep breath, make sure to get a good look at it, relax and slowly take it in, the size is overwhelming at first but you will have a happy ending afterwards".
Woman:
When I use my ipod classic, I have a dock connector to AUX and power as well. Whats good about this is that it offers a line level audio output. This is what that Note is missing the most. Line Level will bypass a bit of processing in the in the player. I have the Samsung Car Dock and it offers acceptable audioout. Its well designed. Though it's not an upgrade over the regular headphone jack even though its audio out through the USB.
Make sure they are gold tipped (aux cable). Either your phones or cars aux port is bad because it sounds great on any system I use my note on (home theater, car, etc)

I feel for the op as I ran into the same situation. Unfortunately I can't change my aux cable because I'm running a module on my truck to link an ipod adapter and and aux through my stock stereo. Small price to pay seeing as I'd need to buy $200 worth of modules just to get a standard stereo to run with my bose system.
Word of the wise for those looking at buying a gmc or Chevy with a bose system. It's a nice system but a pain if you want to modify it.

Dont know but maybe this is for you. JB has USB audio coded into it now. There are several JB Alpha/Beta builds out now. I am personally using hots CM10 build. The jury is still out on whether or not that feature is working but I just posted in another Q&A thread that when I try it. it acts like it wants to connect but because of unrelated problems with my micro port its not locking on to even my computer or phone charger ver long. my car used to not accept it at all but now it goes through the connection process until my port messes up which leads me to believe the code is intact in our preview ROMS. Just another option for ya to look into!

None taken, I could rip it out, replace 10 speakers and a sub, new amp, deck, modules to get my door chimes, and module to use my steeringwheel controls OR I could leave it all in because they don't sound half bad, I'm not a huge audiophile and spend the 2K that it would cost me to redo it and finish rebuilding my boat. Oh I know it doesn't HAVE to cost 2K but because I used to build stereo systems for a living and don't do anything half ass, it'll cost a pretty penny and a couple ugly ones. Oh and GMC does use real Bose hardware, remember used to do audio installs for a living
But thanks for the suggestion!
Try turning the Note's volume down when using aux cable. The headphone out can get too loud and cause distortion. Put Note ad mid volume and use car volume to adjust.
