I had the same problem with my HD. People told me that I was wrong and that the phone could detect it was not a 3.5mm connector with a mic band on it, but it never worked for me.
I'd love an answer to this as I regularly use my phone as a music player in my car - same setup as you described.
One should be able to test this quite easily: call a friend. And if you don't have a friend - just call someone. Tell him that you sleep with/think he is an/damaged his (whatever) and if he starts shouting at you.. well I guess you have your answer. If nothing happens - same story I guess. The last possibility is great - you can now call everyone and finallysay the truth to him or her - all the things you always wanted to say, but were afraid to say. All thanks to HTC...
i know it doesnt work, thats why im posting the message!! any other smart arse comments?
It works, at least on mine, I am often listening to music using classic headphones and I can call people / use voice command with the microphone of the HD2. It is the same with the AUX input on my car.
Maybe you have a jack that has the microphone contact ?

I'm curious to know if sound will be passed to the HTC USB aswell as the 3.5" jack ?
I use the E100 adapter all the time as its nice and simple to skip a track and make/answer a call when out and about.
Dont fancy pulling out the HD to skip a track or answer a call all the time

Nobody has any idea ?
I don't the answer to your question, but the answer to your problem is bluetooth. My headphones change volume, track, play/pause and answer the phone. Music resumes after the call. This is using Motorola S805 headphones, WM6 and Mortplayer.
Sound is via jack only, but indeed Bluetooth is a great solution.
Cheers for your replies....

Doesn't the mini USB port need to support sound in order for a wired hands-free headset to work? I'd be really surprised if they a) required a bluetooth headset for hands-free or b) required two jacks (3.5mm and miniUSB) in order to use wired hands-free headset.
If the 3.5 jack has more contacts than just the normal stereo then maybe they have a wired headset that works just from the 3.5mm. It will be interesting to see how they've done it.
It is confusing to me, since the few previewers reported a dedicated audio jack and USB only for charging/data (ActiveSync). HTC in their 16/9 press release do mention the audio jack in the press release, but in the feature list it is not quoted, but there is mention of ExtUSB, but no mention of audio on it. On other HTC press releases for previous models ExtUSB is usually mentioned with audio next to it. Well I guess it is wait and see
Update: This French review in English also says audio jack also for handsfree http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aiw5PsQ50Uc
Check the review on GSMArena - the headset works off the audio jack, so no need to have audio via ExtUSB...
Mmm The Earphones supplied are 4 pole, Earth, Mic, Left and Right.
So disapointed if the Ext USB doest carry sound too... Will make the whole Car mount job look untidy but worst is that you will have to take your HD out of your pocket to skip tracks when using the headset... Sorry thats just pants !!!

Re in car intergration and control, I like this gadget very much.
http://us.kensington.com/html/14484.html
LiquidAUX™ Bluetooth® Car Kit
It comes with a separate wireless remote control that you can mount anywhere in your car, and the sound outputs via 3.5mm jack, so you can connect it easily to your stereo. In addition it auto-connects very well, meaning its really plug and play. It also comes with a separate USB port for charging, meaning you can still charge your phone via USB while this occupies the cigarette lighter.
Surur
Sorry to bring this back up but are we totally sure that the mini usb doesn't carry audio? I haven't been able to get it to work on my car hands free kit but maybe i'm missing something??
If it doesn't i think HTC have misssed a trick.
I've tried with a couple of audio headsets, always says "not supported, disconnect".

Thats the same message i get, what a shame!
Is this a hardware issue or software? If software we should be able to do so,ething about it?
Hey, I've been looking for more than two hours now. All I want to be able to do is plug my phone into my 3.5 jack in my car to listen to music and have my phone calls go through the car speakers. I also want to use voice command to dial my calls so i guess whatever adapter i get needs a built in mic. I've already made the mistake of buying the wrong adapter once before. I didn't know about the pin connector thing and that it had to be special so the one i got just makes voice command continuously activate over and over. So my question is which adapter does all of the above and ACTUALLY WORKS? I'd really appreciate it. thanks guys.
this is how i do it.
the easiest way is to get something like this and just go blutooth... this means your fone can stay on charge too, and the blutooth dongle will plug into any sound system with 3.5mm jack so this is a solution for more than just your car
This is exactly what you want!

I have it on my Tilt, T-Mobile sells it for the G1 but it works with all HTC phones, plug in your phone, then your 3.5 jack and you can still talk with it.

I guess that is a great solution.. but doesnt look like it has a mic? I guess listening to your music is the most important part.
I was thrilled to find this out! I plugged in my AUX cable to listen to my podcasts on DoubleTwist and I decided to try out the Genius button to call someone thinking it would not work. Well, it seems that the phones microphone stays on when the AUX is plugged in and it does not detect a built in microphone. The call came clear through my cars speakers and the person I called could hear me very well with it attached to my dash.
So, those of you like me that are too cheap to buy a hands-free set up with your car stereo...well...now you have one! The G1 couldn't do this but I don't know about other android phones.
my g1 has never had any probems using the aux set up for fake Bluetooth in the car

Hi Guys,
Running on Stock 2.3.4 with root and owner of the Atrix Car Dock. One of the most handy bits of kit I've got for my Atrix.
I'm not overly happy with the Car Dock Home on the phone its self though. When I make a call on Google Talk or on normal phone, it diverts the audio via the loud speaker, and not the car speakers. Is it possible to modify this as otherwise whats the point of having the audio lead in the usb cable if its just for music??
I had a look around the SQLite database to see if there was anything there, but maybe there is a config file somewhere or needs a new APK I don't know.
One for the devs?
Thanks
Andy

My bluetooth Pioneer deck only used the drivers speaker, and it had a few dif noise cancelation modes. So its posible the person talking to you will hear every word they say or worse it can cause static or other distortions.
When using the phone plugged via headphone socket in the actual phone I have not suffered any form of feedback or distortion, which is why I'm interested to see if someone out there can do this
This has been asked before, and nobody ever came up with a solution, other than what you're already doing by plugging in the headphone jack.
Hi all,
Basically, I'm trying to figure out if the subject is possible.
What is happening now is that if I have a standard stereo audio cable plugged in (non-mic) with BT connected to a headset and I receive a call, the audio for the call goes through the headset jack instead of the BT, and because of that there is no mic to pick up my voice. This leaves me able to hear the caller, but them not able to hear me.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ben

Had sort of the same thing happen to me, except I tried making a BT call while plugged into headphone jack and other end was plugged into my car's aux port. Started to make the call and quit. Guess its another limitation of the current set of roms, if I'm reading correctly.
My question is under android I would have a microphone on the keyboard so that if I was going to navigate somewhere I could just hit that and say where I wanted to go instead of typing out a long address. I am using HTC Locations, and don't see any provision for allowing me to speak my destination point.
I don't think that's possible yet, but there is a lot in the way of BT profile and audio settings that may help that. we'd probably want to look for something that doesn't auto cut off when a jack is inserted
as it stands, BT is buggered (music playback) on ultrafruit ROMs anyway so we're not missing much, xbmods ROM worked fine but his left for pastures new and everyone else is being silent on the matter.
