Is there a wired over the head headset with a 3.5mm jack that will work with the universal?
Or an adapter that will allow me to use a 2.5mm headset?
I am not sure how does this work...
But give it a try http://pc-mobile.net/pxdaa.htm

if you're looking for just stereo headphones (for music) you can try sony's sports earphones -

I think I answered my own question. Looks like the ppctechs item will convert.

Can anyone recomend a replacement for the wired headset?
(To use for music and calls)
Mine have suddenly gone all mono on me :-(

who can share the experience like subject mentioned.
Don't have the Atom myself but tested my BT I-Tech Clip with my mates one and it worked on first attempt.
Just pair the devices as normal and the PDA will recognise it to be a headset.
I use iTech S35 ... works great
I am using the iTech S35 STEREO Bluetooth headset to listen to STEREO MP3 music. I also use it together with TCPMP to watch movies in STEREO. It also operates as handsfree phone.
It works great !
I chose the iTech S35 because it has a 3.5mm female jack so that you can plug in ANY headphone u want to use. The headphones that come with the S35 is abit crappy but who cares - you can use your own !
Most Bluetooth headsets have the headphones built-in so you are stuck with what it comes with but not the S35
if you choose the S38, it even has built in controls for controlling the "play", "next" etc. so the Atom stays in your pocket while you control the player. I haven't tried it but don't see any reason why it should not work.
I am full of praise for the S35 !
For phones I use the Audio Technica "PEAR" necklace phones so my headphones stay tangle free. I think the two makes a good combination.
One note : You won't have radio if u use the S35 or any other bluetooth headset 'cos it needs the headset that comes with the Atom plugged in as the antenna as well. So if u want radio u gotta carry that headset with you.
i got a BlueAnt X3 headset
It can only act as a handsfree... however, it allows me to listen to music when it's connected to my other mobile phone... so the problems seems to be with Atom... can anyone help?

Okay thanks. Though I tried to use stereo headphones I had from my old MP3 player, and for some reason they're not working.
It works as a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, if you are using handsfree. there are another two additional connectors that connect the mic, but works fine with normal headphones, are you sure that the headphones work, is the volume turned up! I know it sounds patronising, but the volume can get accidently turned down.
I have been searching for a way to have a cheap hans free unit in my car.
I have my mogul setup with usb/3.5 mm audio converter with aux cable into my stereo. This gives me mp3's playing and also I can hear when someone calls me. The problem is they cant hear me. The mic is shut off with this setup. has anyone found a way around this? thanks.

Use this adapter http://cgi.ebay.com/3-in-1-STEREO-H...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and have your 3.5mm into the stereo, and plug in your stereo headset into the headset port. You will then have audio going to both the headset and the stereo in your car, as well as audio input from the headset. Sounds kinda cool if you have both the car stereo and headset on and have some music playing. You can also have a car charger plugged into the extra port for a charge while you go.
I plan to take a headset and splice to wire the mic through my driver side column for better mic placement. Now I just hold the mic in my hand.
I have a feeling that this can't be done (because I looked into it with my XDA Exec a few years ago), but....
Is there any way that I can play mp3s via the extUSB into a car stereo (via an AUX in) and yet answer calls via the same stereo's integrated bluetooth via the headset profile?
The stereo would normally drop the AUX in sound for a bluetooth call, but clearly the extUSB would normally handle calls if a audio output device is plugged into it. With my Exec, I seem to remember that the hardwired audio output would be the default, and so the bluetooth would never engage.
If there is a hardware solution, I would be very keen to know! Even better if the extUSB also charged my Vario IV in a passive holder.

What about playing music through the blue tooth of your car stereo? Tricking the car into thinking its actually engaged in a call so it plays music. Might have to be something done on the phone side to transmit the music as a call and then when you receive a call the music stops and you can answer the call and when the call ends music resumes? Just a thought i dont know if it is possible at all. But you bring up a really good idea.

Thanks for the thought, but the stereo doesn't accept bluetooth streams - it simply just has the ability to act as a hands free device.
Any more thoughts anyone? (Although someone has just posted about a device that looks intriguing with AUX and power in)
It's definitely doable. Thats what I've done with my non BT Pioneer deck. Check out my post here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3278241#post3278241.

Thank you too for the feedback, but I can't see a bluetooth device in your chain. Perhaps I wasn't clear in the original post, but in the end I suppose the question is can calls be handled over bluetooth when there is any audio outpu device plugged into the extUSB?
Sorry. My bad. You are right, I did misread your post.

the answer is yes. that is what i do daily.
i listen to music through quality wired headphones, and when a call comes in i use my bt headset WITHOUT unplugging the headphones from extUSB.
all you need to do is answer the call using the answer button on your bt headset and not your phone.
in some phones, if you will press the send key on the phone and not the bt headset, the call will transfer to the phone instead of the bt headset.
hope i was able to help.

Thank you.
Do you think it matters that you're using headphones rather than a headset? I'm just wondering, since you refer to headphones, if the lack of speaker in your wired device means the call will hand over to the BT device - this will allow me to work out what I need to buy.
hmm i think since your aux input wont really have a mic attached it should hand over the call to the bluetooth headset from what the other person is saying.
Hi, I don't know if this will apply to your stereo setup but I thought I would let you know my setup anyway.
I use the HTC multifunction audio cable http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=171925 which lets me charge my phone via a car charger and use the 3.5mm audio output to the stereos aux input at the same time - all of which are in center armrest compartment.
I use bluetooth connection to the factory installed bluetooth prep (BMW 3-Series). When a call comes in the TP pauses the audio and the BT phone then takes over. When the call ends the TP un-pauses the audio
I just installed a Blaupunkt MP57 on Sunday and did exactly what you're describing. Phone connected via aux playing music, answer or make calls via bluetooth on the stereo and the music pauses then restarts when the call is ended.

Both can send all outgoing audio from your WM device via BT headset channel instead of A2DP. It's not advanced audio but it will let you play audio over the headset BT channel. Sound can be tweaked using SRS WOW HD.
ExtUSB is just a port which will enable playing MP3 tracks on for example USB drive? Why not put your connection in USB mode then?
I'm not sure if this will help you, but I bought a Motorola Bluetooth Car Kit. I don't have the "phone" feature built into my car Stereo, so I used the external amplified speaker and mic for "phone" functions. The Car Kit has an Aux Out, with I feed into my car stereo. When I get into the car, the Bluetooth initiates two separate "connections". One for the "phone" and one for the "MP3 Player". You can have either one or both. The music plays through the car stereo (via the Aux Input) and phone calls play the the external Car Kit Speaker. It is like having two independent bluetooth "channels". When I have Voice Commander enabled, it communicates through the "phone" channel, i.e., the Car Kit mic and external speaker. That is also where my incoming email is announced through. My Garmin GPS "speaks" through the Aux out and the Car Stereo though. I'm not sure how these routes are selected. Personally, I would prefer that the GPS also communicated through the "phone" channel, that way if I am listening to the Radio, or Sirius, or a CD (not on AUX-IN), I would still here the GPS voice guidance. I'm not sure if that can be changed or not.
Hope this helps.
I do this all the time. USB to 3.5mm stereo to Pioneer head unit and calls come in over the BT
Thanks all for the input.
Just bought a Brando adaptor:
http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=126&products_id=1502
Tested it and Copilot and Music run from the Aux out. Bluetooth hand over perfectly. As an aside, I find WMP is a better MP3 player, simply because I can reduce the volume in the software, but leave Copilot to use the system volume at a slightly higher level so the voice doesn't get lost (the HTC player doesn't seem to have the same capability).
Could have bought the HTC branded device from the same place, but the main lead from the Ext USB is slightly longer and more inflexible so wouldn't easily fit under my car holder.
BTW, since I live close to the shop (plus I love instant gratification as opposed to mail order), I visited the Inkino shop in London. I must say that the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful and the shop has a huge range of HTC accessories (including a branded battery and extended battery for my Universal, which I am planning to resurrect). Not sure about the prices vs ebay, but for the bricks and mortar approach in the UK, where it is difficult to find anything HTC - 1st class!
How do I connect the hero to the car stereo so I can listen to music through the speakers?
first you are going to need a bluetooth adapter or stereo that supports BT. Then pair them up and play. other option would be an aux connection.

Is there an adapter that uses cigarette lighter?
any mp3 player device that plugs into headphone port will work. Like the fm transmitter devices, that do plug in through the lighter. Just go to the mp3/ipod section at wal mart or best buy, they'll have it

DO you have an aftermarket stereo? If your stereo is stock, what is the year make and model of your car and i'll to see if you have the direct hookups. If you want great sounding music through your phones mp3 player, pandora, and ect.. this is the only way to do it (plugging split rca's in the back of the stereo and the other end into the headphone jack)
If your not so much into quality and just want to hear the music in your car a simple bluetooth device that someone reccommends on this thread would work - if your head unit supports bluetooth music streaming. Just because it has bluetooth on ur stereo it may only be limited to incoming and outgoing calls.
Then your only left with an FM Transmitter (worst sounding quality) not even the most expensive one will come close to the first two options you have above.
Post more details and I can help you. I'm very knowledgable with car electronics and installation.
Good luck

Thanks, It's for my wifes 2003 Honda CRV with stock stereo. I don't think there are any connections we can use. I believe we will have to use the cassette adapter (puke), but they are cheap...$5-$6 on ebay....
well, a cassette adapter is better than an FM transmitter.

Yup you do have one connection that you can plug into. Its the cd changer port in the back... Theres an aftermarket harness that connects to a converter which comes with a cable that has 3.5mm tip on the end. This would be your best and actually not to difficult option. If you want to go with the super simple route then yeah cassette adaptor is what is used by many and its actually not that bad. Better than using an fm transmitter.
