I had a similar issue with my Moto E2 a while back. Turns out that the 3.5mm audio cable I was using was designed for both input and output, so the E2 was identifying it as a headset, not headphones (my car's audio system does not have a mic). I bought another 3.5mm audio cable that was advertised as just audio output, and it worked as intended (output via audio cable to car speakers, input via phone's mic).

I have an Audi A3, which has an AUX port to connect an MP3 player, so that it plays over the car radio/speakers. (FYI: The AUX port is wired into the CD changer of the Car radio).
I was wondering if a cable exists that can connect to the VARIO (tilt) into aux, so when the phone rings it plays through the speakers. Im hoping that the mic on the phone is good enough to pick up my voice which it sits in the cradle.
I could also use this link up to play mp3s on the tilt as well.
Get a 11-pin miniUSB male to 3.5mm male cable. Search on ebay or google.
you need something like this

fyi, if you just get a mini usb to 3.5mm plug, the mic on the phone will mute itself once you plug that 3.5mm adapter plug, so you can hear the caller but no matter how loud you scream, the other party won't be able to hear you.
I had the same idea before, tested it and it didn't work. That's why I had to order this adapter from ppctech.
Thanks for the replies, both are very helpful.
Ive been looking around, i couldn't really find anything.
Is there anyway that i can get my kaiser to sort of work as my i trip and play mp3's via my phone into my stereo?
I tried taking a mini usb -> 3.5mm jack and then putting it right in my stereo, but it didnt work.
Any ideas?!
.... Look Here
However you don't need a mini usb cable, but an HTC-Ext USB cable, infact audio contacts are in the lowerside of the female jack of the pda, so a normal miniusb (type A & B) doesn't work.
if you have brought a T adapter or a "3 in 1 adapter": charge + Audio +, if "3 in one adapter", a 3.5mm audio jack jack,
I hope that
a) your stereo doesn't work/have AUX-in/isn't the AUX-in activated on the stereo (3 in 1 adapter)
b) you have missed some contact (T adapter)
c) your adapter is weak
.. i have a T adapter, and have cutted my old hermes original earphones (see the pics into the topic linked before..), i Navigate with full sound on my stereo, and play music in the same time.
If your USB-to-miniplug adapter works with headphones, then it should work with the Aux In on the car stereo. As suggested in the reply above, maybe there is some glitch in the chain. Check the car stereo settings, and there isn't some issue with the cable, jack, etc. (perhaps try another device like an iPod and see if that works?)
If you still want to try a iTrip-type FM transmitter. Then one like this should work:

Heya,
Currently I have a 3 way splitter HTCusb -> Power (miniusb) | Audio (3.5mm) | HTC Headset Connection (HTCusb)
What I need is a microphone only 'headset' to go in the headset socket, as the audio is allready being passed to my car's speakers via the 3.5 jack.
Does anyone know if/where somthing like this exists? or should i buy a cheap headset and splice the earphones off?
Also anyone else find the fuze is unable to gain positive charge whilst on and connected to a 12v ciggaret adaptor, it still drains but at a slower rate, but I do not have an offical charger, which may be the problem.
+1
I also have my audio sent to my car speakers. But since the phone thinks I have a headset attached, the phone microphone is disabled. So when it rings, I have to undock it from the cradle and stick it to my ear. I'd love to have just a microphone mounted near the visor. Anyone know where I can find one?
Wouldn't this do as a workaround?

Plug into the HTC headset connection on your adapter, then you have a micropohone. Then plug the 3.5 jack into the end (instead of the headphones)
The large block adapter that came in the box works for me and allows me to use my car speakers w/ aux input and there is no problems with the microphone.
I had this problem with my tilt with the Y splitter adapter, however the multi adapter that comes in the fuze box works for me perfectly.

There will be the same offers on ebay in your country. Searchwords: HTC 3,5mm
Ive been pondering this and thought i'd post it here for your general feedback.
the plug for the hearphone/mic headset that comes with the device is a triple pole 3.5mm jack - same thing used by video camcorders into the phono adaptors.
On the back of my car stereo unit ive an Aux in which would be the red/white plugs of this cable for the audio feed. This is generally how i'd plug my phone in to listen to my music.
Now with the 3rd wite (yellow) i was thinking if i used a small PC Mic (3.5mm jack) and get a patch cable made to connect this to a male phono would this work? it'd also give me the ability to hear my phone throughthe car, and a lengthy cable i can hide and place a mic in the car leaving a simple 3.5mm jack to plug into
My car does not have native bluetooth.
Right now what I use with my iPhone is a Kensington cigarette adapter-powered dock connector, that charges the dock and also has a line-out cord - so I charge + get audio out of the dock.
what is my equivalent solution once my android phone arrives? Is there any alternative besides:
USB cable + USB->cigarette adapter, plus a 3.5mm male-male cable
Edit: To clarify, my current car situation is:
NO native bluetooth support. Would either need something like a bluetooth speaker (sucks for music, okay for calls?) or a bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter
I have a center console which has a cigarette adapter and a 3.5mm female port right beside it... so this is the AUX for my audio. Thinking at this time, at least, I'd prefer to keep using this AUX input for my music...
I use this: http://www.amazon.com/Kinivo-BTC8-Bluetooth-Transmitter-iPhone4/dp/B003OTXBY6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Connects through bluetooth for media and calls. Then connects to your car stereo with either FM or 3.5mm. It also has a charger built in.
Do you want bluetooth audio or hardwired output to an auxiliary input on your car stereo? The latter will have substantially better audio quality.
If you have a relatively new Kenwood receiver, Kenwood offers an app in the Play Store that enables you to play music over USB. The reviews seem to be rather negative though, and I don't think it offers full control. I'll try it out in my car once I get all my music uploaded to Google, but I'll probably just keep using my iPod as it has full native compatibility.

too bad. these pioneer head units are INSANELY good. the 2 USB connections to charge or plug in SD cards alone is worth the price..not to mention the bluetooth capabilities to remotely control pandora from your head unit or steering wheel controls

Then just connect the headphone out of the phone into the AUX audio jack. Note that you *may* run into ground loop problems when the phone is connected to the AUX jack AND it is charging from the vehicle's 12V, resulting in a possible range of hum and noise gremlins. If you do, power supplies with an isolated ground are available.
Based on your needs i think you're looking for something like one of these. Stream from phone to car via bluetooth and output via mini-stereo to car AUX port. They each work a bit differently and have different features, so i'd compare them and see which suits your needs.
I should note, to charge the phone, you'd just need a separate usb charger or cable.
