Hi,
I have connected my KJam to my car stereo via a cable from the 2.5mm jack to the aux port of my car stereo. Tom Tom voice and phone calls are routed through my car stereo. Sometimes, the microphone will not work when I take a call. I can hear the caller perfectly but they can't hear me. Other times, the phone functionality works perfectly and we can both hear each other great.
If anyone can suggest any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Thanks
if your using a jack to connect it to your car, then its will prob. stop the mic working as its routing the audio to you car in the same way the headset with mic that you got with the k-jam does. I had this problem on mine, but due to the fact that i use a bluetooth neadset in the car fixed that little problem 8)
That's the end of my k-jam desires then.
I use my MDA compact in the same way you describe, for TomTom, Hands free calling and to play my music through.... and my microphone works fine with the headphone jack in.
I guess one thing to check would be the number of rings on your 2.5mm jack. If you have 3 then theres a possibility the k-jam thinks you have a mic on the end of the wire. If you have 2 rings (normal stereo headphones) then there must be another issue somewhere.
thanks for your replies. My concern was around the fact that sometimes the microphone works and sometimes not. I wonder if there is a workaround or a specific type of cable that I need to ensure that only the audio is routed and not the mic as well.
Thanks for all your help.l
never tried this myself, so i can only assume it would work. you could hack a cheap wired headset up, removing the earpieces but leaving the microphone. then add a stereo 3.5 plug so you can hook it up to your car stereo.

I have that very problem also, it's gotten that annoying that i've stopped using it through my stereo. you are able to get around it by popping the cable out of the kjam, then putting it back in.
pain in the ass though none the less.
What is the phone is set to Speakerphone ?
Even though Speakerphone is currently not working...
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success in fixing this problem? I am having the same issue. I have a 2 ring 2.5-3.5mm adapter connected (so it should only be routing the audio, not the mic) and sometimes the caller can hear me, sometimes not. At one stage I found by unplugging the cable, setting to speakerphone, then unsetting speakerphone and plugging the cable back in would get it to work, but not anymore...
Any ideas?!?! I love my XDAII mini but this is driving me up the wall!
Cheers,

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.
Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knew how to activate the microphone while its plugged into the car? I use a 3 in 1 adapter where one of the ports converts it to a headphone jack so I can plug my HTC Herald to my car and listen to music. The problem is that when someone calls me and I answer the phone they dont hear me because the microphone is disabled. I have to unplug the entire connection just to talk at that point and replug it when I'm done. I noticed that my friends Iphone he doesnt have this problem and he just talks to them while having it connected to the car so I'm pretty sure it has to work!
Oh and selecting "Turn Speaker On" is disabled when plugged into the adapter as well.
I'm seeing some weirdness with my HD2 when I connect the headphone socket to my car's stereo (via an aux in that I have soldered onto my head unit). Basically, as soon as the jack is connected, the phone resets itself and then works perfectly until i disconnect the jack (when it resets again).
I know the connection to the car is OK as I've tried it with other phones and MP3 players, but for some reason, the HD2 doesn't seem to like it.
Possibly worth mentioning that the phone is also connected to the car's handsfree kit via bluetooth, but this doesn't support A2DP so need the headphone output for music. Also, normal headphones seem to be OK, it's just the line in that doesn't appear to like!
Anyone else seen something similar or (even better) have a solution?!
Thanks
Hey guys
In winmo 6.5 I could plug a 3.5mm jack into my car stereo to listen to music, and my bluetooth car kit would take the audio from calls and relay it to my handsfree speaker and mic.
With winphone 7 I have lost that option.. having a 3.5mm jack plugs in overrides the bluetooth and so all audio is routed to the 3.5mm jack.
I dont want to be unplugging the jack every time a call comes in, or I need to make a call.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Xander
No one going to throw me a bone here?
