I've seen these on eBay for cheap, curious if anyone knew of a reliable online site that had one like this for cheap. The link below is to one on eBay for about $4 shipped, looks like it'd be nice with not too much extra bulk. Also seen ones with a short cord for the same price on eBay and about $14 at other online stores. Might be too small, but thought it'd be cool to have.

Looks like with this you can use your own headset but can not charge the phone at the same time. I am using this one with which you can listen to music and also charge the phone if you want. Check this link.

I have something that looks exactly like that, from Sedio. I got it so that I could use my Shures instead of the cheapo HTC ones.
I have to say that I was disappointed, as the wire is pretty flimsy, and I wonder how long it will last. I cannot imagine it lasting too long. It does work well though.
Don't you guys already have one? My Fuze came with one. I also have a 3mm/USB Elbow like pictured in the original post, that I got with my work motorola flip phone (cheap verizon). I haven't tried it with the Fuze yet (I should).
Does anyone know if you can use a headset with built-in mic with these adapters?
I mainly want to use it with my Shures but wouldn't mind using it with my iPhone headset to make calls with from time to time.

I've seen accessories for the Fuze that plug into it and have a mic on them, and a 3.5mm jack to plug your own earphones in. So I'd imagine whatever headset you get with a built in mic will work as long as it plugs into the 3.5mm jack.

A 3 band headset with mic works (aka original iPhone and blackberry type) but the newer 4 band on the new in-ear ipod headset does not. FYI.

I just received mine and it's awesome.
The size is just perfect and most important: it works
The only "negative" thing is, that the phone thinks that there are headphones connected whenever the adapter is plugged in, even if just adapter and USB cable are connected. But why would anybody connect the adapter, when he/she doesn't use headphones?
Anywhere in Aus?
Does anybody know if you can get this on any other online store other than Amazon? They want to charge me $40 for shipping for a $5 product!
I live in Aus and it's so hard finding stuff like this, it looks awesome.
guyes, should these adapters be plug and play?
I bought something similar for my HTC touch pro and it doesnt work, the sound still plays out of the phone speakers.
what am i doing wrong?

Yes. They're plug and play. If you bought one and it didn't work I'm sorry It's either faulty or you didn't buy the right type. An htc device uses extUSB not a regular usb like the moto adapters use.
This weekend I'm going to a radio shack to buy to do-it-yourself plugs. Why buy these connectors when you should be able to make one yourself? My idea is to open up the headset, remove the standard earplugs and rewire it to a 3,5mm socket (don't know how to call it). Voila, you have your own adapter with microphone too!

You need a female 3.5mm socket, a soldering gun, some patience, and some time. It would take some skill, you'd have to open it up carefully and if you don't solder right, you'll ruin it.

Hi all. Just got my P3600 today, very nice indeed.
One complaint (so far!); There's no headphone socket, only a set of pretty crummy headphone with a mini-usb connector. Is it possible to get a mini-usb adaptor so that I can plug in some decent headphones? 3.5mm jack would be best, but 2.5 would do as well.
Thanks for any help!
Lee.
Your best bet at the moment is to cut the original audio cable and put a jack on it. Some adaptors are available, but the ones I´ve tested had a lousy fit. Stupid HTC forgot to offer an adaptor, and include it in the package. We´re complaining for many months now...started with the Tytn.

You are so right. That is the first think I'll do when I get one of these "new and improved" mini USB audio plugs. I have custom headphones for my Jamin now. I bought a nice pair of Koss headpnones and soldered it to a SE P800 headset, which fits in the Jamin.
Expansys also offers a Y splitter so you can have charger on ones side and headphones on the other, both mini USB of course.
Thanks
Thanks for the info chaps. I think I'll try an adaptor from Expansys or somewhere before chopping up my headphone cable!

Found a working adapter...
I bought this adapter from www.martinfields.com:
http://www.martinfields.co.uk/produ..._P800W&modeln=most HTC and compatible devices)
It works fine for playing audio with the P3600 and uses a 3.5mm socket, although obviously it doesn't have the phone answer button on it.
Cheap too, although it takes a while to ship from Hong Kong.

I ordered one from martin fields as well and it works great.
I have ordered one from shop.brando.com.hk think it was $5 and free shipping in the christmas days

So, when you are listening to music, and a phone call comes in, can you use the microphone in the phone? Is it muted? In other words, do you have to unplug the headphones to answer a call?
www.brodit.com
Surely coming to proclip soon though...
The active one looks great. Swivels and lets it open while in the holder by the looks of things. Plus it looks like there is lots of room behind the handset allowing you to have an expanded battery.
Just spoke with ProclipUSA they have placed their orders with Brodit and expect their car cradles in a week....possibly two.
I just ordered mine.
According to Brodit and the people I purchased from (Who had a demo unit):
+ The holder WILL rotate from landscape to portrait while fixed in place
+ You CAN open the keyboard whilst in the holder
- The ACTIVE holder does NOT have a headphone socket and the cord to the cigarette lighter is NOT detachable. Thus, if you want audio out via the USB whilst charging, get a PASSIVE holder and the relevant adapters.

With my TyTN's active Brodit holder, I removed the USB charger from the holder and replaced it with the HTC y-cable and was able to get audio and charge at the same time. Should be the same straightforward swap with the Kaiser holder.

Hmm, I emailed Brodit about this subject and they informed me that the cable was permanently wired to the holder.
Can you by any chance send a pic? Maybe they got the wrong end of the stick. Stock arrives in 7 days or so, so I don't have long to change my order.
Good spot! There's a few UK sites that have these listed already, but I'm having trouble finding somewhere that sells both the holders and a USB/3.5mm splitter. Getting them from separate sites is probably going to be more hassle than it's worth in terms of delivery costs...
Anyone know of anywhere that sells both?
someone needs to design one of those splitters so that it basically extends the bottom of the Kaiser, maybe clipping in to the holes for the lanyard.
That way, you could keep it on whilst in your pocket (Yes, I keep my kaiser in my pocket) and not be afraid of there being twisting forces on the miniusb socket.
Sort of like this one but better moulded to the shape of the kaiser:

The adapter is screwed into the base of the holder, and can be removed with a couple of screws. To use the y-cable, you need to remove the rubber/plastic casing around the end of the connector.
Here's a couple pics of it installed. Sorry, I don't have any of it apart but I should be getting a Tilt tomorrow and once I get the mount I'll post pics.

The beauty of the Proclip is that you don't need to drill anything. They're designed to snap around the trim, which is why you need to get one specific to your car model. Removing it is just a case of pulling it away.
dsldevelopments do a suction cup with a proclip on the end.

does anyone make a car adapter that is compatible with a weighted friction mount?
Garmin devices have this thing called a friction mount that is weighted. basically the underside is a soft rubber material that keeps the base from moving, and it is filled with about a pound (1/2 kilo for those across the pond) of sand. the base is very sturdy. i have taken many trips with this base with no movement at all.

You have to remove the plastic casing around the USB plug of the audio/power adapter for it to fit, but it fits perfectly once you do that. I have an active holder on order and will post pics when I make the swap.

Does a micro USB cable ---> car charger power + audio 3.5mm connector exist? Coming from the iPhone I had such a cable that was convenient, only 1 connector to plug in the car, not to mention that with 2 cables on the N4 it would be very weird, power at the bottom, 3.5mm jack on top, at least they could have put them on the same side ... While my car has bluetooth, it doesn't support A2DP, my only option is audio through a cable into the AUX in.

You might want to double check that the Nexus 4 has proper USB audio capabilities. The Galaxy Nexus never did, and as such, using the headphone jack or Bluetooth were the only options. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any USB audio for the Nexus 4, but then again, I've never tried or researched.
