I have a pretty old stereo in my car and it doesn't have aux or Bluetooth..so there's no way I can listen to my music while in the car..except if I manage to transmit my phone's audio at some FM frequency..this was possible on some mold Nokia devices like the N95 ...but is it possible on the mako? Help would be appreciated...

No, you'd need an external FM transmitter. They're pretty cheap, around $10.
EBay has them for a few bucks with free shipping, if you're willing to wait a bit: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ca/viewitem?index=0&sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=370788932892

Does the s4 have FM radios.

I believe you can thru Bluetooth or an aux jack.

Not unless the car stereo supports MTP. Most only support USB mass storage which is deprecated on many Android devices now.
A2DP or headphone jack work fine.

So there is no setting inside the andriod to make it compactable with the USB cable? Or is there a work around to make it possible without a aux or Bluetooth ?
Not possible at all. I work at a car stereo shop and not a single one I have tried works. Only solution is auxilary or Bluetooth if you want to spend the extra money... Definitely worth it if you ask me though

Ok thanks for that insight. Just want to clear one more thing on it. Is there any tweaks out there for rooted devices that would make this possible?

Does the aux deliver a better sound experience compared to Bluetooth?

As far as i know there is not... USB is a pain in the ass with android and car stereos anyways. It reads the entire SD card directory and makes it a pain in the ass to navigate through your music. Go for Bluetooth man

Bluetooth quality is purer because straight data.

This actually really dissapointed me, as it was one of my favourite use-cases for my phone, not having to maintain two (or more) seperate music collections - prevents the phenomenon of heading off on a planned highly enjoyable car trip with my current favourite music, only to find that I didn't move it onto the appropriate USB device.
My last phone was an HTC Sensation running a 4.1 JB ROM, I forget which exactly, it got changed a lot . Something minimal. Anyway...
I tried using the headphone jack out, into my car stereo aux in, and even when I upped the input source level in the stereo hardware, and cranked up the volume on the Nex4, it only got to about 60% of the volume I wanted. Bah. The Bluetooth adapter for the stereo is like $200 if it's even available anymore. Very lame.
I could get a headphone amp. Actually, that's probably the easiest thing to do for me. Off I go to the web store.
Ramble over. Oh, first post here. Hi y'all. (software dev)
Thanks for the much needed insight into this issue now. Right now I have to look for Bluetooth adapter. And I hope Google will fill this gap of charging and using the music player with the same single USB cable it would be a good thing to have too.
Hi all hope you all having a fantastic day with nexus 4

Bluetooth is convenient as there is no wire, but folks claiming Bluetooth has better audio quality than line out are incorrect (sorry). You will have much better audio quality with the line out, assuming your head unit's aux input has enough gain to get to levels you normally listen to.

Yea I was wondering about that for a while. Plus Bluetooth kills the battery faster.

My Sony WX-GT80UI says that it accepts MTP.. But when my Nexus 4 is connected, it says device not compatible. How is this? Do I need to have music files on root of card or what else could make a difference?
Hi there I want to know if there's a way to disable the headphones jack hw , like in build prop or something. Since I can't unplug it by opening my n4.
I will appreciate a lot. My jack is bad I prefer not to use headphones than dealing with the crap of not hearing during call or no screen off.
Thanks

I was looking at sys/bus , but I see that in /system is where the drivers are. I don´t want to disable all the audio things! Just the headset. I have to find out wich one is it.
Thanks!
The original samsung headphones have no issues whatsoever. Its just my expensive ones like klipsch and monster that seem to pop and crack at high volune when they work flawlessly on other devices... does anyone know which headphones with the 3 buttons are compatable with the gs4. So far volume controls refuse to work on monster dna earbuds and klipsch s4i headphones. Is there a certain ohm or impedance the gs4 uses. Never had this problem with my atrix... a compatable list of 3 button headphones would be greatly appreciated.

Count me in too. My cheap $10 headphones which work flawlessly on every other device crackle and pop on my S4. When I use my auxiliary cable in my car, I do not experience this. I'm going to try the Samsung headphones.
Appreciated. Ill post a compatable list after I find the correct impedance number. Also what about the volume up and down anyone know? I the only ones I know that work are the beats ear buds with the remote. They work flawlessly. Unfortunately I do not own a pair....

any units with impedance of under 15ohm will have issues; look up the specs on your buds or cans.
Is it me or does anyone notice that when connecting to Bluetooth the sound of music is really degraded. Does anyone know if there is some sort of fix for this. It kind of bugs me.

You could try viper4android, it helped out my bluetooth quality. It won't probably sound as good because BT compresses the music a second time vs the jack.

Different Bluetooth devices I think sound different.
For example, streaming to a pair of Plantronics BackBeat Bluetooth headsets sound not as good or as crisp as streaming to a Bose Mini Soundock.
OK, fine, one's a headset versus a speaker. But then I also have a WiRevo Bluetooth headset and the Plantronics sounds much better.
Having said all that, my $10 pair of wired Samsung headsets sound better than my Bluetooth headsets.
I would have to disagree. It seems no matter what I connect to I get the same sound. I find it weird cause my droid RAZR HD sounds so crisp but the g2 is so bad

Hello everybody!
I know you guys have probably read something like this hundreds of times but I don't know where else to ask,
I have an 2008 Ford Fusion and I want to install a Nexus 7 as a Dash.
The problem is I don't know where to start!
I need it to cost as little as possible.
I need it for Navigation.
I need it for music playback.
I need it to turn on/off when the car starts/turns off.
I would love for me to control it with the steering wheel.
What parts do I need and how do I wire it with the nexus?
Also 2012 vs 2013 model for a car dash?
I would really appreciate any help!
Bumping this, I'm looking to do the same on my 2002 Lexus IS300. Biggest question is how to hook up the Nexus 7 to car stereo.
If your stereo has a line in at the back then use the 3.5 mm jack on the Nexus
