I hooked up the earphone out jack to my aux input on my car today. The sound was awful. I had to turn up the radio volume quite a lot to get the same level of sound as my Rhapsody Ibiza player. The sound was no where near as good as my normal player and was focused mostly in the tweeters in the front of the car.
Has anyone experienced something similar. I was using the Rhapsody client for Android as the player. It seems to sound fine through the OEM-supplied headphones otherwise.
You have to push the headphone in harder. I'm pretty sure its not all the way in . That's what happened to me . Or change your AUX cable.

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.
Hi guys, my 328i has a built in Aux input. And it works great with my Vibrants 3.5 output jack. The only issue I have is, the volume is just not as loud as It is listening from the mp3 CD. The volume for both the phone and car is at full volume.
When I usually listen to mp3 cds, the sound goes up way louder. Is there a way to hack the phone to output louder through the 3.5 jack? Or if any of you have the 328, is there some option to do that?
I don't know about mp3 cds but as for official cds bought from the store, they are definitely a lot louder that the phone through aux jack. Same deal with my g1 before I got the vibrant.I'm sure once the rooting and custom recovery is all sorted out and we start getting some custom roms, the devs will include volume hacks just like they did for the g1.

I'm quite satisfied with the volume. If you need to blow your ears off boost up the EQ.
Actually, it's really weird. Through headphones I can equalize my Vibrant and iPod to sound the same, but through AUX, the vibrant is quieter (Same volume settings). Really makes no sense to me. It has to be something with the equalizer...
Edit: But it is in no way quiet. I have to turn up my car stereo by like 4.
Try a different cable or a higher quality audio file.
I play songs between 192kbps to 328kbps and have no problems. The volume is at the same level since I used my mp3 cd.
appreciate the inputs, i'll look for the equalizer on the phone.
Have you guys tried sending the audio thru bluetooth audio enable car radio? Pretty cool no cables needed
I can even listen to pandora and send the audio to my stereo

whoa, i'm going to have to try this out. any advice?
I have the Pioneer Z110BT Navigation and it has bluetooth audio. Just pair your Vibrant to the Pioneer then play any song on your vibrant using the music player. Click options then "Via bluetooth".
Then go to your stereo and click on bluetooth audio. Voila! Streaming music from your Vibrant to car stereo. The sound is also great!!
Not to hijack this thread but my one complaint of the phone is how low call volume and audio volume are.
Everythings turned up to max and this phone is roughly half as loud as my MT3G is set at 50%.
I have a Sony xplode and play through Bluetooth, I get great sound.
I have no issues with call sound or ring levels. I actually have to turn it down sometimes because its to loud.

I built a custom cable to connect the headphone jack to my Pioneer's IPBUS connector - it works great, and is very loud. I keep both the head unit and phone's volume on half way, and depending on the song I may have to turn it down, too.
I am interested in purchasing this phone, but I read there is an issue with not being able to use the microphone while headphones are plugged in. I hook my current Android into my car stereo through my headphone jack and when people call, it uses the speaker phone to talk while I hear people on the car stereo. Would I still be able to do this on the Fascinate, or does that also disable the speaker phone mic, or are they the same mic?
im not sure what you are asking but i ahve no problems with it, i plug in my headphones with the mic in them and they work great, use them for listening to music and talking and love it
He means he has his phone plugged into the speakers in his car through the aux jack, and then when he gets a call he uses the speakerphone option to talk, and incoming voice audio plays on his car stereo. I do not think this will currently work on the fascinate...
You've heard right. It blocks speakerphone when headphones/aux are plugged in. It's quite a pain considering I use it as my music player in the car. It also ignores bluetooth while plugged in as well.
I got used to unplugging it when I get a call, though.
This is correct, and was almost a deal breaker for me. However, the car dock has a function where you don't need to plug in the AUX, only the micro-USB, and you can charge it as well as have audio output (the audio goes through the charging port, then is output by a 3.5mm output on the dock, and finally to your car's AUX in). This feature isn't enabled yet, but once Froyo is released it will be - and then we should be able to take calls over our car speakers without the mic being muted.
Just something to keep in mind,

So Indy, we can't use the car dock the way it was intended until froyo drops? That means I can't hear my nav thru the speakers while docked or any music?

As I understand it, yes. There is a sticker on the port letting you know that it won't function properly until the release of 2.2. I'm still waiting on my dock to get here in the mail, but I've seen several threads elsewhere where this is discussed.
I don't think the dock has room, but if it does, you could still run an AUX cable from the headphone jack to your car's input, and have nav and music through the speakers - you just wouldn't be able to take calls with it connected because of the mic being muted with an AUX cable connected. Once 2.2 is released, as I understand, you'll be able to do it all.
Thanks for the help. It looks like ill be waiting before I make a purchase. I use slacker radio too much in my car and my deck doesn't have an auxiliary in, its old school tape deck so I have a device that plugs in the tape deck.
Does the bluetooth audio also have a crippled sound level? Android phones sound like garbage connected to my car's AUX line because of the extremely low max level, I have to crank the volume to hissing speaker blowing levels just to hear it while driving and trying to listen to a podcast with the windows down is basically impossible, Apple devices sound perfect and I dont have to crank the volume at all so I know its not the radio's problem. Thinking of buying a Belkin bluetooth car adapter and using that if the bluetooth audio isnt lowered.
I just picked up this phone and I absolutely love it, only issue though is the low headphone and Bluetooth Audio Volume. I know I can change the headphone volume by changing the mixer file, but I haven't seen anything on Bluetooth. Unfortunately my car doesn't have an aux port because Honda thinks everyone just uses Bluetooth now -_-. Does anyone know of a way to raise the volume level?
That's strange, because I find Bluetooth to be louder than the headphone output when going to an external speaker. In my car, bluetooth on my phone is maxed and even at 70% volume in my car it's ear blasting loud. You can't use steering wheel controls with the aux cord too.
If you're rooted you can try Viper.
