hello guys,
so i just got a new 2012 jetta and its great so far, i am able to get music through bluetooth and its awesome but one thing i havent figured out is how to get the song title and information to appear on the touchscreen in the dash.
If i use the ipod connector in the glovebox everything appears but if i use bluetooth it does not, so has anyone had any luck with this in any way?
please and thanks
ps the car comes with a MDI cable in the glovebox but its for ipod only, is there any place i can get an android version with a micro usb connection.

I have searched without any luck for a stereo dock that doesnt use the headphone jack. I have a logitech for my old iphone that u just set the phone in it and use the remote. Has anyone come across one for the galaxy s2 yet?
I believe there's one made by Philips which is available at Best Buy.

thanks,
I found this one too AS851 (Cant link yet). Comes with a remote and is 30 watts. They say you cant stream music thru the micro usb, but then how does the unit send audio and video to a HDMI cable, so I would think its possible. shrug

All of those docks use Bluetooth to stream the audio. From what I know the USB port on the bottom doesn't have the ability to natively send audio out of the pins. I would love to have a simple dock too for this phone that would let audio out without having to jack in on the top of the phone, but it's just not designed that way.
I used to have an ATT "Fuze" (touch pro) - used to have to carry a dongle everywhere with me to plug in headphones. I'm much happier that I don't need a dongle, but it does suck to have to plug in 2 things in the car to get audio and charge at the same time.

I currently have an IPhone 4s and have a car windshield mount (which the note will fit in), but I have a separate cable (iphone cable) that connects to the head unit which charges and of course allows me to control the ipod from the head unit. (shows song titles and such).
What is the best way to connect to the head unit? Is there a head unit that has android integration?
BTW...my current head unit is a Pioneer AVIC N4.
TIA
Does the head unit have an aux input jack or Bluetooth? If not (and I don't think it does) you'll need to swap head units

I can get the Bluetooth Module for it but that's only for calls. It does have USB Mass Storage capability though.
I assume that will work (or that's what I need)??
Are there any head units out there that are more Android friendly?
Not really. The USB port may not read the device and only let you use a flash drive. I bought a normal unit with auxiliary front and plug my phone and satellite into that. Gotta get the car dock if you want to charge while driving but I never run low batt and I drive like 5-8 hours a day.
usb mass storage should work with all android phones. it would read it just like the usb flash drives. ive had tried this with an htc inspire on a kenwood stereo. all function controls with file discriptions works.

Sounds like this might work then.
As a side note...anyone know what the best head unit for android would be?
majority of after market stereos now are intended for the use of ipods but will work for all standard usb drives. if you are unsure, you can always test the demos at your local audio shop.
edit:
for your pioneer avic n4 you need this add-on for usb connection. pioneer cd-ub100
I am looking for a car dock but one that dose not have that stick thing at the end because I need to take it off each day and I don't know if you could do that with the one that's out now
Still looking for a good head unit. I currently have the Pioneer AVIC N4, but to add either bluetooth or USB, it will cost me about a hundred bucks. (Bluetooth is voice only).
I saw the Parrot Asteroid online, but it seems a bit steep (and a bit young...needs some updated firmware I think)

Any other options out there that you think would be a good fit?? I assume since my Note is nice and big now, that Navigation isn't necessary in the head unit.
I have a pioneer that I use the USB with a 32gb thumb drive just loaded up with music. The phone is also bluetoothed to the head unit for phone calls. I am going to work on using the samsung car dock with a usb host cable and an external hard drive to play media in the car. Only problem I have yet to figure out is how to power it while still using the usb host cable. If I can't find a way I am going to try out a seagate satellite hard drive my buddy has sitting around. Could be a good option, Ive just heard the seagate app kinds sucks
Hello everyone. I am and android guy but I have and older ipod I use for my car that I would like to replace with an android player. I currently have a digital aux out to usb to charge and aux cable. With this cable the sound coming out is great. I have not been able to find any other players other then the ipod/iphone that sound this good.
Now i have a photon that when using the car dock has audio out but its not full raw out and dose not sound good at call like the ipod out set up I have.
I was wondering if there is a way I can hook the the SGP in my car like how I have my current ipod. If not would there be a way to make a cable. I see that someone was able to make a cable for the att samsung phone.
Any imput that you all can give would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Was wondering any one had any experence with some of the bluetooth car kits that are out there now. What i am looking for is one that can be powered from a standered car power port and hook up to the AUX port of the stereo then the phone streams music to it via bluetooth. I dont have built in bluetooth in my truck nor can i easily replace the stock head unit. there are a bunch of these out on the market today but i want to hear some feedback on whitch one if any yall have used and how good it worked
you could maybe use this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003D...3-6577789-3213205?ref_=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us
connect one end of the aux cable to your car stereo, the other end to that Bluetooth device, and then connect your device to the Bluetooth thing.
theoretically, it should work.
Problem with that one is it probally needs a battery.

Hi guys
I have an older car without bluetooth or AUX in. I have been using a cheap FM transmitter with a 3mm plug to play music from my phone through the car radio.
I am looking to buy a bluetooth FM transmitter but haven't decided which one to get yet, maybe santa will bring me one 8-}
Anyway, until I get BT/FM device... I have an older android phone (Samsung Galaxy Gio s5660) that doesn't get used anymore. I was thinking maybe I could leave that permanently plugged in, in the car, and have it pair with my Nexus 4 so that poweramp on the N4 can stream to the s5660 and play through the headphone jack > 3mm FM transmitter.
Is this possible and how do I go about doing it? Apps to use, etc? I don't really know a whole lot about bluetooth. I'm just tired of plugging in the cord every time I get in the car.
Thanks any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I guess it's unpossible then
