Roll on the A2DP update. Anyone seen them cheaper?
Be aware that I owned a set of these breifly and they do not activate Voice Dialing... So cannot be used with voice command.
The highly informative comment I got from Bluetake support was
Sorry, the BT450Rx don't support voice dialing function.

And it took them 2 weeks to come up with that helpful statement!
If anyone finds some nice stereo BT headphones which support A2DP and still activate voice dialing do let me know!
Otherwise I did really like the BT450Rx...
I'm looking at getting some headphones, so far I'm inclined to get either
i-Tech BlueBAND Bluetooth Stereo Headphones or Motorola HT820
Any opinions on both of these would be appreciated (positive / negative) as I'm hoping to do the purchase this weekend :?
I have the HT820's, though of course they don't quite work fully with the Universal (no A2DP), but work fine as a normal headset. I just listen to music with the cable, which is a useful intermediary option.
The sound from the headphones is not too bad, many ppl say that in A2DP mode it's rather quiet, but wired, it's more than adequate. The one bad thing about them, though, is long term comfort. After about an hour, they pinch the ears a little too much, but you can shift their position every now and then and it's not too bad.
Does anyone know of a Kaiser compatable radio transmitter for the Kaiser so I can use it like an itrip and play my tunes from my kaiser in my car over a radio frequency?
anybody have any experience of this thing:-

Any old usb/headphone splitter will allow you to do this, as the FM transmitter element simply plugs into the 3.5mm headphone jack - FM transmitters are, notoriously, pants though but if its your only option, I would suggest getting your own splitter and then getting a different FM transmitter that has digital tuning, so you can select any frequency, and not be limited to 4.

thanks a lot for your help i will do just that!!
You know what I am looking for... I would love to see a Bluetooth FM Transmitter. Then you can just enter your car, and wirelessly play your music through your phone. Anyone know if these even exist? I did a brief google search but it looked like everything was either a car kit for hands free talking or just people wishing they had one kind of like me.
Universal Belkin adapter.
Personally I use the belkin 3.5 inch universal FM transmitter.
the audio quality isnt grand but its very passable.
http://www.thegadgetlocker.com/product_info.php?cPath=218_169_103_110&products_id=2794
I've been using that for my PSP and zune for a while now and i'll be using it
with my kaiser as soon as I get my miniUSB to 3.5 adapter in the mail.
I recomend it.
Say that again...
Hi...
FAO Captainsensible/JPHCCFC or others with experience on this...
I'm wanting to do the same thing but have absolutely no technical knowledge about this kind of thing.
I have a Mk4 VW Golf with the standard VW fit, quad speakers radio.
What products would I need to buy to get my Kaiser playing through the car speakers, and, how would I need to set it up.
Links to the products and detailed advice in plain English welcomed & much appreciated.
TIA.
Regards,
Mark.
Another option would be this, http://www.techlore.com/article/10247/How-To-Play-an-iPod-or-Other-Portable-MP3-Player-Through-a-Car-Stereo/.
I think the quality is better than the FM transmitter.

I use an iTech-clip connected to a cassete player adapter normally for a walkman. Gives me BT stereo music and when clipped to the sunvisor acts as a hands-free automatically cutting off the music when a call comes in.

It took me a while to track one down! But I finally did and I just purchased on off ebay... It is from a brand called Scosche. It sells new for US$90.
It functions as a Bluetooth Reciever (for bluetooth devices with Audio Push, such as the Keiser...) and as a hands free. It plugs into the car power, and I understand it has a built in battery for portability. I should be receiving it later next week, I'll update on how it works

I was one of the first in the states to get the venturi and have been using it for several weeks now. The quality is great and it is the only device I know of that transmits caller ID to the FM radio via RBDS. It is not the cheapest, but only thing i know that transmits FM, charges phone, and does bluetooth calling/stereo. (not to mention it works flawlessly with the Tilt/kaiser)
Hi,
Just saw this on google:
http://www.aftermarketcellular.com/ic/UNIJABRAA120S.html
Most new radios have a plug in the back for external CD or other audio, just connect this and you dont need an FM transmitter.
Good luck...
I have a Monster Icarplay for the ipod. I am wondering if there's any way of modding it to use on my kaiser. I know the ipod connecter is just a modified usb connector - so I am wondering there is some sort of adapter that goes from ipod connecter to regular usb. I don't think I can just snip off the end and solder in a reg. usb because there are controles on the ipod connecter plug. Any thoughts?

I'm browsing around trying to decide what unit to purchase. The thing I like about the Motorola is I do not have to plug it into my cigarette lighter (other than for a charge, of course).
But, I had purchased a Motorola speaker phone a couple years ago and the sound quality for the person on the other end was pretty bad. With this sound quality for me as the listener would probably be OK, as it would go through the radio.
Has anyone used one of these yet that can report back?
The positive feedback from Venturi on the Verizon one sounds good.

what I want to know is ...
how does it transmit to the FM wirelessly though ???
and if there's another radio nearby happened to be scanning stations ... will it also pick up my private conversation ??
I can understand when this is routed through the cigarette lighter plug ... but wireless ??? and they don't specify the type of FM radio ... so I just assumed any regular car FM stereo ...
anyone for answers ???
Good questions.
It seems to me that it transmits to the FM device via BlueTooth; then the FM device transmits to the radio over FM frequency.
And I assume that if someone in a car nearby (I don't think it will transmit very far) happens to tune the the same FM frequency you are using, that they in fact would pickup your conversations.
I would like to be able to have the bluetooth transmit my stereo to my radio, and if I have on a BT headset, have my conversations go there. But, I'm not sure that is possible.
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

**Bump**
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".

For those of us running a Nexus in an older car, particularly without Nav or Bluetooth, I've seen a few posts on here about pairing it with a BT enabled stereo, I just wanted to share my solution.
Some of you may have seen my N1 holder for my daily driver (1990 Jetta Coupe) in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630935
I hate terrestrial radio, and miss the 100GB Phatbox mp3 player in my '02 GTI (which also has Sirius integration and OEM Nav) and wanted to stream Pandora on the Nexus to the car stereo in the Jetta. So I found a way:
I got a JVC KD-R800 for the daily driver, and now stream Pandora/mp3's to the car via Bluetooth, and make/take calls from the headunit as it can read the phonebook on the Nexus and the calls are routed through the car's speakers. As an added bonus, when using Google Nav on the N1, and streaming music at the same time, the music fades out when the Nav talks, then fades back in when it is done talking.
I now have fully integrated Nav and mp3/Pandora functionality in my 20 year old daily driver!
Just wanted to share with those of you looking to find a solution for integrating this awesome phone with your older cars, or cars that just don't have these modern features, as when I was researching this project, I couldn't find anything about the N1 being compatible with the KD-R800.

Hey guys, I'm excited and confused about the car dock...
Like most people that use the phone for music in their car I'm not sure how this will work out. In the specs it says you can't have a bluetooth earpiece used when the phone is in the dock (LAAAAME).... However, I'm guessing this is because you have to pair the phone with the dock's bluetooth?
My question is this and I hope someone will know the answer.
Could I get the dock, get this device http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Stereo-Adapter-Players/dp/B002RKLWJO and not sync the phone to the dock, but sync the phone to this bluetooth device that's plugged into my cars AUX input???
If so, I'm SOLD!
Well, I'll be the guinea pig here... I purchased a car dock and will report back what's possible with it...
Your questions are being discussed in the car dock threads in the Accessories forum RIGHT NOW. So post your question there and ask a Mod to close this thread.
sweet, thanks!
