Is there any chance that an emulator can be made for Android devices that mimics the control/digital audio interface that many newer head-units use to connect to the iPod?
I currently own an Alpine iDA-X001 and an Alpine iDA-X100M which both connect to an iPod over this USB connection (it allows the digital audio to be processed in the head-unit's D/A converter which allows for higher quality sound), and it would be excellent if I could finally ditch my iPod for my Nexus One.
I know that I could just connect my Nexus One using an Aux-in cable or by mounting the SD card on the radio, but it's just not as good of an interface. The browsing process is tedious, playlists don't work, and cool eye-candy like album art is missing.
I know I'm not alone in wanting an application/emulator that would make this possible, and I'd certainly be willing to pay for it if it was made.
-Any ideas?
Does your Alpine decode the mp3 or just do the job of a dac?
If its the latter I'm pretty sure your Stuck at stage one. Never heard of our devices being able to output pcm.
If the Alpine mounts the ipods hdd and reads the tracks from there your still stuck because the files and folders need to be in a way that an iPod can understand, a way that is incomprehensible to man and machine and in a different format aswell, m4a if memory serves me right. If you could do this you would lose the ability to play these tracks on your device.
Then there's the hardware differences. I should imagine it would be next to impossible to tell your device to listen to iPod specific instructions from USB.
I suppose the moral of the story is no o buy stuff for iPod, it will only work for iPod. Buy something generic and is will work with your iPod and anything else you throw at it.
Sorry to p!as on your bunfire, blame apple not me.
I have a pioneer deck and have been pondering the same issue. My deck, i'm assuming, with the ipod appears to be simply reading the files from the internal storage like a memory card - but since i can change track from my head unit it informs my ipod what file it is playing. I can change the song from either the ipod or the head unit.
It would be nice to even be able to mount the micro sd card to the head unit without it playing all my ringtones, app noise, ect...
The way i am currently doing it is having a "music" folder on my sd card that the head unit can read. But when the head unit connects to the phone it just starts playing the first track it finds alphabetically, no setting to change this, so i have to back out of that folder and into my music folder to play it properly. Can i hide folders somehow WITHOUT affecting the apps? I know on a normal thumb drive that if i hide a folder that had a game or some other music i didn't want my deck to play then it wouldn't read it. Just by changing the properties, in windows, to hidden for a folder.
Hide the folders in windows.
Your phone uses a different method to hide files and folders and should be unaffected.
Maybe a playlist can help if your deck supports it.

I'm after (read-only) 40+gb of storage for the universal, mainly as a WMA/MP3 player in the car and at work. How about this:
Cheap pentium-class laptop from ebay, wifi access point and Personal Web Server or IIS? Would the streaming audio application just work with files hosted (ie put in shared directories) on the laptop or would I need something a little more clever?
Any thoughts on the matter?
WL-HDD
A MUCH cheaper option is a WL-HDD with an external PSP battery (or a car adaptor for in-car storage). Files are accessable with resco file explorer easily or from windows file explorer with a little more difficulty. There is also a huge WL-HDD community with rom updates and so forth. Using it myself with great results, battery life is good for 4 hours streaming, but a bigger 5v 1Amp+ battery could be purchased. The battery I recommend is good as it comes with the USB-Barrel connector you need to power the drive.

Interesting... Wireless Snap server...
Not too expensive either!!!!
Nice piece of kit. The only thing, though, how will this cope with streaming? I mean, won't this just present files to download completely before playing? And I guess I wouldn't be able to use playlists or a next track/next album type function in media player
Or is there any way to mount the partition as a drive (like a storage card) on the Universal?
Just to add, one of the MP3 files I have is 10gb (don't ask) so it really would need to be streamed.

i did exactly this at home with my first iPAQ so i could lie down and listen to any music i had on my network at home. back then 64mb flash card didn't store much music. early versions of WM needed network playlists to get the files, i haven't tried it on later version as local storage of 4gB is enough... finally.
If 4gb was enough I'd be happy, but another 200 CDs arrived yesterday and I won't get many of those on a single SD card
I just found this item which looks interesting, especially as it appears to be able to utilise 2.5" notebook HDD and USB Pen Drives!
http://www.qtds.com/products.asp?recnumber=855
Not a bad proce either, although you would obviously need to add in the cost of the HDD or Flash Drive.
Regards,
Colin.
The WL-HDD allows direct streaming, can act as a Wireless Access Point, and has a usb port so you can plug in USB storage and either make it network accessable or automatically copy the contents to the internal drive (which can be up to 100gb, IIRC). You can even plug in a webcam and set to take a photo when motion is detected, or at an interval. It can even email the photo to you!
Honestly, it is the best bit of kit I have, but you will need another power source or extended battery for the exec to handle the constant streaming for any length of time. I get about 4 hours out of it, same life as the WL-HDD .

This seems very similar to the WL-HDD, but the power consumption is 3A. This would be a challenge to run by battery. It also has no homebrew software/bios.

As I said earlier in this post, it automatically streams files unless you choose to copy them.Through Resco, the drive is mounted just like the storage card, under the "Network" heading. To access it you simply have to log onto the drive using Wi-fi, and map the network drive by tap-holding and choosing the option "map network drive" over the network icon in resco. I use Wisbar advanced desktop (which I also recommend) so I have an icon on my desktop that goes straight there. Listening to music off it is just like from a storage card.
Pyrojester,
That sounds perfect, many many thanks.
No problem, anyone feel free to PM me or post about it, I feel like sharing the love. It works perfectly, I couldn't beleive it.
This is interesting.
My point is, my daughter fried my ipod but i am thinking of using my "spare" M5000 as an alternative, i currently have a 1gig sdd in it but was thinking of using its wifi technology to aceess my music from the pc, is this possible with this wireless drive or is there a drive that the M5000 can hook up to and access my library.
One point i would like to mention though, my ipod was hooked up to my hifi unit via its dock (which basically is the headphone socket) when i use the same lead coming out of the headphone socket of the M5000 and into the aux port of the hifi the i have to crank the volume right up to hear anything. Is there something i am doing wrong hear, just thought it would be same output as the ipod??

Another Option...
I use this device : http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews_vosonic_xs_drive_super_vp6210.php (review)
I originally purchased it as a backup device for photos, as you can insert a memory card and copy its contents to the internal hard drive.
The 6210 uses laptop hard drives (any size) and it's easy to swap drives (it's supplied with a keyring screwdriver to open it up and detach drives).
It can also format your memory card.
Unlike most devices of this type, it can also write from the hard drive to your memory card, so just pop your SD card in and transfer any files you want to it, then pop your SD card back in your Universal.
Also, it has basic MP3 player functions, so I have it hooked up to my car stereo, using a standard 3.5" connector. No more listening to moronic radio jocks, bliss! Mine was supplied with a car (cigarette lighter socket) charger.
The device normally lasts about 3hr on a single charge and it has a sleep function, that switches off the screen and/or the hard drive if not being used, so it can last a fair bit.
It can also connect to a tv and play .avi or .mpeg-2 movies...
The company that makes these is bringing out a new version with an 8hr battery and a 3.6" screen, so I'm saving my pennies!
That is kind of pricey.I like the idea of being able to travel and change the options of what is stored on my SD card.Thank you.What does the amount transfer to in US dollars?
Regards

Best Mp3 player for streaming
By far the best mp3 player for both songs and audio books including streaming through wifi networks is Mortplayer. You'll love it. I imagine it will work perfectly with your wifi HD drive also. Big buttons for no stylus use. For net work drives to show up just map drive in built in file explorer first then Mortplayer picks it up. Mortplayer is free but i recommend donating as it is one of the best apps i have seen.
I'm currently aching to be able to play my own music through my car speakers, weird place for this yes.. if it's the wrong section to post this please let me know.
But, I was wondering if it's at all possible to feed the phone's audio through the USB.
For example, I have a USB port on my stero in my car, and when I plug it in..i'm able to feed off my SD card to play the music thats on it. But.. I'd like to be able to play pandora as well..which I'm currently unable to do.
Was wondering if this is possible. If i've confused you feel free to ask more questions
XtaC318 said:
Since it isn't possible.. what about an app that allows me to control the music played? I can stream music from the sd, but its got to mount to read therefore I don't have access to the stock music app. Only way to control what's played is the buttons on the stero and its pain staking..

I don't believe this is possible. As far as I know, when you use the usb the deck itself is decoding the mp3's (or whatever music files you're using) directly. It doesn't support playing music through the usb, it just uses the usb to get the files. I hope that makes sense...
So is that why I ca never plat music on my xbox whenever I have a phone hookedup to charge? I thought my xbox just didn't play nice with phones

So your car stereo has a USB input but no auxiliary? If so, your best bet would probably be to get an FM transmitter. Like the poster above said, your car's stereo is merely mounting your phone as a mass storage device and reading the mp3 files off the SD card and decoding and playing them locally.
It sees it as you do on the computer, just a drive. The only way to get what you want is to use a source from the phone that plays audio. Head phone jack or Blue Tooth. Your stereo... if it has USB should also have an AUX input or BT. Havn't come across to many that have USB and not an AUX or BT. Its nice though... having Pandora in the car.
If you tell me the Model of the Stereo I can help you out. I have seen a BT to FM Mod. Those are kinda cool. If your in a pinch with a stock stereo.

Makes sense. My stero does have an auxiliary port on it, but due to recent events I'm really short on cash lol, was wondering if there was a work around so I'm not limited to my sd for music.

Nope... The phone isn't even connecting to your stereo. When you put it into USB mode so it can read the SD, it unmounted from the phone. Its as if you pulled the SD out and slid it into a card reader. When you pull the plug... It will remount to the phone. You'll notice it scanning for media at the top.
Now when you go BT... You can control it via the stereo or phone, using the Aux you can control it by the phone. "They" could make the phone controllable via USB like an Iphone but they would have to built that into the stereo like they do the Iphones/Ipods. Not likely to happen unless the Galaxy S takes off like IPOD did.
In theory, a rooted Epic with proper kernel support and hacked cable (since they don't exist commercially) can repurpose the data pins on its USB port for left and right analog audio thanks to the Fairchild FSA9480 USB switching chip inside the phone (the same chip enables the USB pins to be repurposed as a serial port with nonstandard voltage levels, enables the normally-unused fifth pin to be used as mic input, enables it to be used with a special "JIG" interface for JTAG reflashing without having to hand-solder anything to the microscopic internal pads, and apparently can also work its magic in conjunction with a chip by Silicon Imaging to use 5 pins to output a signal that can be transformed by a companion chip (embedded in the cable's connector shell) into valid HDCP-compliant HDMI. I'm pretty sure the 9480 can also repurpose the two data pins for external I2C, but don't quote me on it.
Check out the I9000 boards... they're about 2 months ahead of us. If you google for FSA9480, you can find a brief (but revealing) dialogue between a Samsung engineer and the Kernel.org folks regarding a kernel addition to support the chip. He had a few issues, because on one hand he's apparently not allowed to say much about how the chip works or what it does, but the kernel folks managed to wring much of it out of him one juicy detail at a time. If you check Fairchild's site, they don't even acknowledge that the chip EXISTS, but it's been photographed inside all the Galaxy S phones in various teardowns.
In English -- yes, the hardware exists today to connect your phone to a stereo's analog inputs via a cable that repurposes the USB port... but the official software to make it work from Samsung and Sprint doesn't exist, and the information needed to make it work ourselves on a rooted Epic with AOSP isn't quite available yet.
I'm personally quite happy about the uart, because that means we DO have an easy, low-ceremony way to do i/o between something like a gamepad built into a hardcase a-la-iphone-GameBone that doesn't require Bluetooth (note that if something IS using the USB port for UART purposes, the USB port is still active, but the phone sees it as having nothing connected because the signals from the D+ and D- pins are physically re-routed by the 9480 to the CPU's UART pins. Think of the 9480 as being like an old-fashioned telephone panel with cables that can be moved around to connect the USB port's 5 physical pins to different pins inside the phone.
I'm now pretty sure that this is why there are exactly 7 contacts on the microUSB connector inside the phone -- 5 are used to get the pre-HDMI signals out of the phone, and the other 2 (3, if you count the ground/anchor tabs and assume they carry a signal as well in addition to mechanically anchoring it in place) are used to supply +5v and ground, and possibly one wire for half-duplex signaling purposes.
Wow that was a lot of info... lol. I didn't know that about the usb tho. That's good to know. I was thinking of taking it apart to see.
But... I think he's wanting a UI via the USB like the way some players will do for the IPODs, not analog. To go throught all that when the Head Phone jack will do the same... I could only see that if it was broken or if you really really want only one cord to the phone.

I've got an Alpine unit, I hook my USB up - turn on the TUNER. Mount the Drive and once the phone is done - swap back over to USB and i can get all my MP3S. sadly I get all of my ringtones too - odd when the radio is full blast and a track changes - none the less works well for me. Try it.
I purchased this Kensington LiquidAUX Bluetooth Car Kit for my phone a few days ago. It works perfectly on my sister's iPod touch (no AVRCP [silly apple]) and an old WinMo 6.1 phone.
I just got my Epic in the mail today so I'll be testing it out soon.
WTF. AVRCP (bluetooth remote control) is really buggy with this phone. I used the LiquidAUX with an old Omnia for a week with no problems. The Epic connects and plays audio just fine. I can also pause and play music but the forward and back buttons don't work. When I first pair the phone with the device everything is fine, but after disconnecting and reconnecting the remote control stops working. I got it to work after un-paring and re-pairing but it only worked once.
The Moment I had before this had really choppy audio.
EDIT: I had the phone opened up in DDMS and the phone is receiving signals from the remote. But it only reacts to them when the media player is on the screen. Weird.
I wanted to know how to connect via USB to my cars audio system.
I used this tutorial: http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010/11/18/use-your-windows-phone-7-device-as-a-portable-usb-drive/
I can now store and retrieve picture files from the phone but I still cannot play music files on my cars audio system. It seems as if the phone turns off this feature when my cars head unit tries to communicate with it via USB.
I also cannot connect via bluetooth.
I have read that some folks have been successful in implementing this feat. I really dont want to use the headphone jack because I cannot control the phones audio via my head unit. I guess I am looking to set it up legacy style like my previous phones eg iphone, nexus one, milestone etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
The portable USB 'trick' doesn't make the device a USB Mass Storage device. It's a client-side registry modification that only makes the device viewable in windows explorer (legacy mode). It's still running its communications over the proprietary MTPz zune-sync protocol. This is why after running the registry modification, you can't just plug your WP7 into another computer and have it pop up, and also why it requires the Zune software to be installed, and to sync up first for it to work.
This is also why it won't/can't work with your USB capable audio system. It has absolutely no ability to do Zune protocol sync (as far as I'm aware, Kenwood made a head unit that could, but I don't know if it works with WP7. I'd doubt it), and despite the misreporting of various sites, your WP7 is not magically now a mass storage device.
Bluetooth may or may not work. I don't know about A2DP support on either your car's head unit, or WP7, and it may be specific to the device/manufacturer as to whether this is present (I have no idea). If bluetooth doesn't work, you're pretty much **** out of luck.
Headphone jack is your best (only) option. I can't recall if the supplied headphone cable has inline media controls. If so, you could probably macguyver that into a line-in cable for your stereo and use the media controls on that. Ghetto, but workable.
wow, that really sucks.. I am liking this phone less and less...
Just moving away from an iPhone and getting used to the way the DHD works. Much better!
There are a few issues I am having though.
I have a JVC head unit in my car, which I plug the phone into (USB). What I want to be able to do is have it charge, use the sat nav and also play my music.
When I plug it in and choose 'charge only' it cant find the music. So, I choose 'disk drive". The music then works, but the sat nav doesnt. It says that the SD card is not installed.
Any ideas?
When you connect the DHD as a USB "Disk Drive", the phone actually unmounts (ejects) the SD from your device, so that the external device can read it as a flash drive. Technically, when you are on DiskDrive mode, your phone has no SD.
EDIT: Forgot to say that most (if not all) SatNav programs keep their files on the external SD
If you try installing the SatNav software on the DHD internal memory (have never tried it, it really depends if the software allows you to do that), and not the SD, it might work.
The last choice you got is the USB "HTC Sync" mode, in which case, although the DHD does not eject the SD, your JVC stands absolutely no chance in reading the specific format output from the USB (requires PC with proper HTC software).
Thanks.
Surely thats a severe limitation? I want to be able to plug my DHD into the car stereo so I can listen to music, get sat nav and charge. Surely thats not too much of an ask, and something all my previous phones have been able to do.
I have USB input on my car stereo too. I've never been able to mount the microSD card within the phone OS (WinMob or Android) and also play music through the stereo; Your phone either treats the card as USB mass storage for your stereo, or for your phone, not both.
I only ever use Google Navigation on my Desire HD, and I have a 16GB USB stick for music. It only leaves my car if I want to change the tracks on it. Maybe one of those solutions will be best for you.
Navitel working great?

The only option of listening to music from the SD card and using navigation software that holds the maps, voices, etc. on the SD card (I think most if not all of them are made that way) is to use the AUX input of your car stereo and play the music with the phone's music player (the quality of the AUX input is not so good on my Sony). That way you'll have your navigation voices also through the stereo, but there was a thread somewhere that in order to play the voices the software pauses the music. Haven't tried it though, so I can't comment if it's true for all the navi softwares.
You can try Dual Mount SD from the Market, but it requires root in order to work. When you install it you can use your sd card in the phone and through usb at the same time. There is no solution without root.

Thanks for that. Tried it and it kind of works.
Its a bit odd though as the DHD doesnt know what songs are being played - if that makes sense. Its just passing through via USB. If you set up its own music player to do something, it plays that via bluetooth. Kind of cool in a way, but just means you can only control whats being played via the car stereo.
Thanks again, much better than it was.
I have a half decent sound setup in my vehicle, but I'm unhappy with my head unit, I would like to mount my nook into the dash, and use it to play audio to my head unit, which I would also store all of my music on the nook, or tether my phone's data connection for pandora/youtube/etc.
I know I can do this now as is, but the quality loss over auxiliary is less than preferred.
So my question is: Is it possible to get the audio playback through a usb cord into my head units usb port?
I can play a flash drive off of my usb port, or if I use my phone and plug it in and put the phone in storage mode I can skip through all audio files on my phone using my headunit. I would like to be able to use the music player app on the nook to select the music for an easy interface for finding my music, rather than using my headunit to seek through nothing but a random list of track numbers.
Thanks in advance.

Beyond me, have you considered bluetooth, if you are able to keep it close enough? Also there is a thread somewhere on USN pin outs, and you might find some ideas here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294860
