Re: Play audio through car speakers

bluetooth You need a bluetooth enabled stereo. I love the evo it streams my music then the navigation voices comes in over the top of the music and lets me know where to go. I've tried this on other phones but nothing until the evo had the power to do it without lag.

Re: Play audio through car speakers

If you have an audio jack in on your radio, you could use that. You could also use FM Transmitters if your car doesn't have that audio jack (example: Enter text here.http://tinyurl.com/2ajkdme)Enter tejkoij

Re: Play audio through car speakers

I use the Moto T505 car Bluetooth, works great with the EVO, used it with my diamond before that. It connects to your phone and can play through its own speaker, or with its fm transmitter broadcast through your stereo system in your car. There is an app in the market that turns on Bluetooth when you connect a power source, works well for this as I don't have to remember to turn it on, just plug it in and then turn on the Bluetooth and its synced.

The best thing about the EVo, and I am guessing it will be true with other android phones, the controls on the Bluetooth to skip fwd and back, and play pause seem to work with any media player, including the Pandora and Last FM apps. If you just connect it and press play on the BT it starts playing from the last app used for music. This was not true with windows, it would only work with the htc music player in sense or tflo3d or with windows media player.

Re: Play audio through car speakers

Streaming audio while driving doesn't always work too well, depending on your location. As you are driving your signal strength is changing, introducing buffering, etc.

But, it's better than nothing.

Re: Play audio through car speakers

use the audio jack ontop of the phone, buy a jack that will fit it and plug it into your aux input in your stereo. If not the bluetooth idea will work..but If you have the Aux input then just buy the cable at best buy and listen away...even works on Sprint Nav and Google Navigation.

Re: Play audio through car speakers

I have a Belkin FM transmitter that I picked up from Wal-Mart a few months ago. Not sure the exact model # but it worked very well with my TP2 and my wife's Hero - haven't tried it on my EVO yet, but I would imagine it will work just as good.

Re: Play audio through car speakers

I hate fm transmitter, static sucks, also when using while charging in ome cars=major interference. One of my cars is using this

I still prefer the good old cassette adapter, better audio quality than fm trans. Just bought a new Monster branded one today for my other car



I dont have aux, or bluetooth of course otherwise it'd be a no brainer





sidenote, im really disappointed in the way navigation voice comes in over music, its rough, on my pre it would lower down the music so you could barely hear it in the back while giving directions, then raise it back up, real smooth like. Because this navi app talks so damn much (thats another prob), it really irks me when i start gettin into a song

Re: Play audio through car speakers

I dunno where the OP is posting from but its good to note that in metro areas, it might be hard to get a station where the tiny little FCC crippled transmitter can overpower the actual stations. In the SF Bay Area I've tried a few of them with no success. Luckily in my own car its wired into the rear aux jacks.
