Tp2 Like an IPOD? for car stereo?

[strijder]

I use an Acoustic Research ARWH2 2.4 GHz Mini-Bridge Stereo Headset in my car. These can be found for around $20. I connect the ARWH2 to my car stereo (using a 1/8'' male-to-male plug) an dcharge it via USB. It syncs easily with my cellphone and allows me to play my music via Bluetooth (in high-quality stereo) without having to upgrade to a bluetooth-enabled head unit. It does help that the aux input for my stereo and a power source are in my car's center console (under the armrest).

I use my TP2 daily in the car and it has replaced my radio, especially since I drive a lot in SoCal and SoNV. Sprint network coverage is just fine and you may drop into 1x in some desert locations but that still works for web radio (you can not do this on Edge/GPRS).

Since I have no Bluetooth connection in my car, and I need to charge my phone too, I decided to use the following:

- Universal Cellphone Cradle (placed in good reach and close to AC for cooling)

- Car Charger

- HTC Audio/Charging splitter

- Cassette / Tape adapter


This way I can enjoy the music for hours, have no problem with an overheating. Just for this purpose, I activated an extra line and burn about 20! Gigabyte per month with no complains from Sprint.

Awesome! I thought I was the only one who still did it that way... and it works fine for me too. I even took a cheap hard shell plastic TP2 back cover and screwed it into a spot on my dashboard in my Explorer next to the radio so I have easier access to it while on the road, holds my phone like a cradle.

I use the Sense media player and actually like it. That and Slacker Radio.

Yes I have tried all the methods and bluetooth is definiely a worthy option.

An FM transmitter is a weak option (they eat batteries and degrade the sound quality)

I hook mine up to the line in connection on my head unit. Sounds really good. (Although I use a Carputer as my primary audio source - a Samsung Q1U running Centrafuse as the front end)
The only caveat with using my phone for music is that it plays the ringtones too. So one minute I may be jamming to Mark Knopfler and the next I may be hearing "Fractal" ring tone at deafening volumes. It really gets your attention quick.
As far as playing the music, I use the HTC sense music player.

My pioneer aftermarket head unit has usb and aux in on the front which makes it convenient. But when I tried through the usb, I got an error that it couldn't read it, so I just use a 3.5mm aux cord and I am getting a new car charger that will fit next to it so I can charge at the same time.

right now I am using a cupholder mp3 holder but I am going to take it apart and screw it to the dash right next to the steering wheel so it's easier to get to and see.

Question though, if I get the usb to work (so it can charge as well), will it play the streaming web (like pandora or slacker) and will I be able to answer the calls through the car like with the aux in? or is it going to consider the phone just an ext. drive?
