Play audio through car speakers
 

Hey are there any accessories out there to play audio from your Evo over your car speakers??? Pandora would be nice to have bumpin!!!

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.

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

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.

Damn i dont have bluetooth or an audio jack! Stupid avalanche... Guess im gonna have to get an FM Transmitter.... Anyone got any recommendations for a transmitter they use with their Evo that works well??

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.

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.

Re: Play audio through car speakers
 

Im in Orange County, so fm transmitters usually arent very good. I would go with an auxiliary cable, but my car dont have one! You would think the bose system for chevy would have a damn aux plug! No cassette or bluetooth either so its gonna have to be fm transmitter... I had a monster cable for my ipod and it worked pretty perfect. Trick is removing your antenna. Kinda sux if you like to listen to the radio, but I only listen to XM so I have a separate antenna for that.

Was just hoping someone would have a solid recommendation for fm trans since Ive only used Monster and dont think they make one adaptable...

Re: Play audio through car speakers
 

this might be a good thread to post this in.
i my phone hooked up to bluetooth in my car, all i can do is talk. when i had tp2, i could play music and all kinds of stuff through bluetooth. for some reason i cant figure out how to get it to work.

Re: Play audio through car speakers
 

Go to your bluetooth devices on your phone and tap and hold on your car stereo and go to options and check Media.

i dont have media option:scratch:

I just installed this headunit in my 06 Mustang GT about weeks ago and it is AWESOME!!! Best headunit i have ever owned or even seen for that matter. I play Pandora and my mp3's on it through bluetooth and there is no quality lost through the bluetooth. Its pricey but can be found for a little cheaper if you shop around. I highly reccomend it to any one who has a spot for a double-din headunit in their vehicle.

Re: Play audio through car speakers
 

I have the Pioneer Z110BT installed in my Lexus Is300. The Pioneer unit does have blue tooth audio and the evo and the unit do sync but the quality is choppy and not good at all. The unit sounded much better with the Htc Hero that I used before. Any ideas on how to "tweak" the settings for better connection? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Re: Play audio through car speakers
 

I use the t505 in the car but sometimes the static gets too annoying, and the unit picks other stations with static on them as well, when scanning for a new channel to stream to. Is there anyway to increase the power on the fm transmitter on the moto T505, or any other suggestions would be helpful?

anyone know a way around mercedes benz blue tooth? o7 and a 10 e class...they make you buy for a arm and a leg some kinna adaptor

Re: Play audio through car speakers
 

Sometimes when mine syncs it is just for the phone, and my Evo says "connected to phone media" or something like that. I press the screen to open listen to my bluetooth input and press connect on the screen, the screen then says "follow instructions on phone" or something along those lines. Then on my phone I press to "connect" to the Pioneer headunit (under my paired devices). The phone then displays under Pioneer headunit "connected to phone media and audio" or something. Then it keeps connecting like that for a while and then sometimes it reverts back to just phone media. I suggest trying something along those lines with yours. Just keep playing around with different stuff and connecting and disconnecting untill you get it.
Well that is basically the same as mine, I have the Z-120BT, mine is just slightly newer. I think ours are pretty much identical though as far as hardware, just a software difference. AND, you can buy the upgrade to get the Z120BT software for yours. Mine sounds great!! Pandora lost a little quality with the Froyo update but that is something Pandora needs to fix. My mp3's sound great, even better than some of my mp3's on my ipod classic that is wired in to the back of the headunit with a Ipod/Pioneer specific cable. SO, you may want to try the Z120BT software update and see if that helps (if nothing else you'll get some cool new features and a couple new interfaces).

I've got a 2007 SRT8 with BT and it only picks up the phone calls. NOTHING MORE. How are you guys getting it to work?

In the house? No problem. BT stereo/speakers work like a monster. In the car it's just a phone. No AUX jack on my radio.

Re: Play audio through car speakers
 

Aftermarket headunit or factory nav headunit? Also, if its factory and a SRT8 Charger, my buddy has one and I can try to play around on his and see if I can figure it out...though I believe even the SRT8 Magnum and Grand Cherokee have the same headunit, all the Dodge nav headunits are probably the same for that matter so I should get a chance to check it out rather soon. I was a Dodge, Chrylser, Jeep tech for years but transfered to our Nissan store a few months ago. If I was still there I could try it out right now...

Re: Play audio through car speakers
 

Your head unit has to support a2dp. IF it only works on calls it's HFS or something, stand's for hands free.

Re: Play audio through car speakers
 

+1 Mike

Stock Nav unit in a 2007. I tried every way to get it working and I get nothing. I think it's only hands free because my radio mode goes from" AM to FM to CD to SATTELITE to Input (which is a hard wired ipod). No other modes.

When I connect to BT devices my only options are make a call from my radio.

I don't need it. I just want to do it, maybe once I'd like to use Pandora for 5 minutes just to know that I could. It's sort of an OCD with me and electronics. I neeeeeeeeeeed to get them to do what I want, even if it's one time and even if there is fire involved. So long as I made it do what I want.

Now, I think I need to play with the Ipod input, but's it's a .... like .... S video input wire that goes from the back of the radio over to an Ipod input and it charges the unit also.

Know what? I'll end up frying my car radio over this.

Then again I got a zero deductible. :/
