Hi all,
I would like to get your opinion on what the best options are with regards to an incar kit for the XDA Exec. My car already had a kit for a Motorola which looks to be factory fitted as it has a telephone button on the steeering wheel.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

hi there,
i am searching for a car kit, but did not find any at htc's and do not really want to get one of those big generic ones... anyone got an idea?
Hi
Brodit are probably the best for car kits, I have one and works well (once you can find somewhere to place in car). Not cheap, but then cheap is generic. You buy the components to make a unit i.e. holder, passive or active mount etc.

Many resellers and also find some on ebay.
Cheers
Hey im trying to figure out how to play my music through my car stereo i have an 03 tauros so theirs literally no cd players i can swap mine out for so i guess that just leaves me looking for an fm tuner. So i was wondering if anyone knew of a good one. Ive had some in the past that sucked and want one were i can change the song without having to look through my phone and a. get pulled over or b. cause a five car pile up. So if any one could give me any pointers i'd be very appreciative thanks.
Crutchfield is your friend
Now you can install any single-din radio (just need to get the correct wiring harness). There are a number of good single-din units that will play music via USB cable (if you have a memory card in your Fuze, it will be recognized as a USB storage device). Or find a radio that has integrated stereo bluetooth .

OR get a stereo with a AUX input, get a microUSB > 3.5mm adapter, and get a male to male 3.5mm cable.
I love the motorola T501/505 series. excellent BT speakerphone and plays music/transmits to radio. i bought one and loved it so much, i bought 5 others for family. not cheap, but well worth the money!!!
Pioneer Head Units
Pioneer makes a number of units that can fill your needs. Some are very reasonably priced. Check with Crutchfield online to help you decide which unit is best for you. When you determine the right unit, you can depend on Crutchfield to help you with the info you need for a successful installation. Sometimes eBay has some good prices if you know what you want and don't need any help...David.
BTW, you can find the motorola t505 on amazon right now for 60 bucks.....good deal...

I have the Motorola T505 as well and am quite happy with it.
buy a deck that has a USB input and just buy an 8gig or whatever size thumbdrive you want and your done.
MOTO T505 works well for me

MOTO T505 works well for me...I have seen them advertised at Newegg etc. for around $50.
Same as most of the others. I have a motorola T501/505. You can also advance the songs with it, and it clips to your visor. It also goes for a few weeks without a recharge. The down side is if you live in a high population area, it can be hard finding a clear spot on the dial for it.
Hey,
Perhaps not exactly in the right topic but I wanted to ask how you use car kits with android on hd2. Is there option that when I put phone into car kit it would recognize it and run car home automaticly? Is there option to put my Igo into car home panel? And the phone seems to go idling with blackscreen even if its charging on the car kit, how to change that? Using Mdeejay 2.6 and original hd2 car kit.
Thank you in advance if you point me to the right direction
+ 1
the route 66 navigation program that comes with desire z build is frankly crap. is there anyway to change the shortcut on the car panel to run another program such as CoPilot?
Cheers
I'm in the market for an android head unit. The OEM one in my car is now not working and Toyota wants an arm and a leg for a new one. Instead of just buying an OEM one off EBay. I wanted to buy an Android one. Any suggestions? Also I had a few questions.
I had GPS in my car, so do I need to still use the external GPS antenna?
I have the same question for the microphone. Less wired the better.
Thanks!

1. I used the one that came with the replacement HU, but you could try an fakra adapter. If you dont know what that is, best use GPS antenna that comes with replacement; concealed under dash should be sufficient .
2. Yes, if you are skilled or have access to a skilled electronics tech. No adapter exists. Starts with reverse engineering from toyota electrical wiring diagram.
For my 2010 Blade (corolla hatch with 3.5l v6) I made an interface for the oem MIC and used the GPS that came with the new MTCD JY.
Anyone have an idea what port #8 in this picture is? There was an adapter that has a male usb end and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to plug it in anywhere?
