I would like to purchase a new cd head unit for my car and use my Zune Pass on my WP7 to play all my music via USB.
Why USB and not 3.5mm aux cable?
I would like to be able to charge my WP7 device and control volume/play/pause/etc from the car CD head unit rather than my WP7 device
Right now, the only CD head units I know of that are capable of this with Zune devices is 2 head units from Kenwood:

Has anyone tried this or have another method to get this to work?
thanks
I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish is doable, and it's unlikely that it will be. The Win7 phones, at this time, don't have a standard Zune connector, which has specific pinouts for different functions, such as, passing audio, charging, basically controlling functions, etc. (much like the pinout on the iPods/iPhone)
Since all of the phones, at this time, have just USB mini/micro connectors, there has to be a driver associated on the receiver/computer/other device that knows how to communicate with the phone, process what you're trying to accomplish, and basically have digital two-way communication.
The more likely way, is to have a bluetooth enabled head deck, that allows two-way control (I'm pretty sure these are out, not sure about the two way), and a separate car charger...
Anyone else have any input that might help?
I have a kenwood BT-900 car stero that suports the zune hd through the USB port
it works awsome
I now have the WP7 and my kenwood does not see the phone at all only thorugh bluetooth but still does not do music streaming like to should
I beleave the will be testing the new phone out but as you know they don't tell me very much, all I know is the 2 of the support reps ordered WP7s and thought it would work fine but in fact it does not
I'm sure they will have some fix soon I'm hoping

thank you for posting this, I was researching to buy that particular kenwood strictly for this reason. you just saved me a couple hundred dollars.
My car is a Peugeot, about 2 years ago i installed an Extension Box so I can use an USB-Stick to listen to my music. (It uses the external CD-Case Port on the Radio.)
The small box also enabled to connect I-Pod and I-Phone and was able to browse & play from them.
When I connect my WP7 it beeps all the time and can't even load the battery.
As I know, the box writes a playlist on any USB drive which is connected so I suppose WP7 simply doesn't allow this =(.
Hopefully this will be changed by some kind of driver.
I have a KDC-BT8041U in my truck. I connect to it via Bluetooth and use a usb charger when needed. I usually just hit the random play button (the two music notes in a circle on main screen) in Zune Music and then I can use the remote or on dash controls of my Kenwood to skip forward and backward through the songs. I can also pause and mute. The only down side is it does not show song title, artist, etc. on the screen of the stereo and I can't search for specific songs using the stereo. But it is still much better sound quality then AUX jack and you wont have to get caught with your phone in your hands while driving. (illegal where I live)
Another cool feature about this is the music fades out when you get an incoming text or call then resumes after your done. Be sure to go to settings, speech and enable speech recognition over the network, then at the bottom turn Read aloud incoming text messages to bluetooth so you can respond to your text messages using your voice. Work really good.
Guys, you are searching unreal things. It's not a Zune player, it a diffirent device at hardware and connectivity too.
Only one way to use our phone in car is a Bluetooth. It work good, as headset and throught A2DP for hearing music and control playback from car hi-fi.
So I took delivery of my shiny new Nexus 4 yesterday at work and as soon as I got in the car I paired up the bluetooth. Then somebody called me and the steering wheel controls wouldn't answer the phone. I've tested this several times now and that seems to always be the case. If I initiate a call from the phone though, it does relay the call over the bluetooth.
Secondly, the car cannot see the contacts in the phone. It just either tells me that 'no phonebook is available' or 'the phonebook is empty'. The car has never asked me for permission to read the phone book, even though I have unpaired, factory defaulted (the car B/T) and re-paired several times.
I had similar issues with my HTC Sensation when running 4.2 but the Sensation and car worked flawlessly together when using a Sense-based ROM.
Does anybody have any fixes for these issues? Not being able to use the car controls is a bit of killer to be honest. Not displaying the phone book is not great but at least if the car can control the phone I can use it to answer calls. I tried installing Bluetooth Phonebook but it didn't seem to make any difference.
Radio out car if using stock radio would really help here. I have JVC in the double din in the Saab and an eclipse in the wrx. JVC works as designed most of the time after the new update. Eclipse does not support PBA protocol. But controls work (minus pause on Google play app)

This one is still frustrating me. I have discovered that if I initiate or answer a call on the phone itself, it plays through the car speakers perfectly but it isn't possible to control the phone from the car controls.
I believe the problem is at least in part that I haven't had the pop-up on the phone with the car asking for permission - I did see it once after leaving the car but when I sent to activate it, the prompt disappeared.
So my question is still: Is there a way to force that permission setting, and if not does anybody have a workaround?

I'm in the same position
I've had my Nexus 4 for about a month. It worked fine 100% with my car till (coincidentally??) I went from the stock kernel to faux123's.
I have a 2008 Audi A6, which only allows voice - no option for streaming music across unfortunately. The phone paired, I Ok'ed the request to share call history, checked the "don't ask again", and I could make and receive calls from the car's controls. So far so good, just like my previous Gingerbread phone.
I don't think the new kernel was to blame - could it have been a google apps update? - but since then I can delete and re-pair the phone, I OK the share call history and "don't ask again" option, BUT the car's controls don't initiate or answer calls.
I went back to the stock kernel, tried Franco's, just moved to ParanoidAndroid's latest ROM+kernel - with all the necessary wipes - still no luck with getting the car's controls to work. I can start a call from the phone, or answer an incoming call on the phone, and it will play through the speakers, but it's a royal PITA, as well as illegal and dangerous.
So, I guess it ain't the kernel, but I just can't work out what changed. I have frozen Google+, Google Search, plenty of reboots and wiping the pairing off both devices.
I've done a good few searches, and it seems Google have never had a really clean bluetooth stack, and Volkswagens/Audis seem to suffer more than others.
But my Desire HD worked like a dream

I have no problems with bluetooth, calling or music streaming, in my 2013 Ford Focus using Ford SYNC. I'm stock 4.2.2.
Check tune2air BT adapter from viseeousa.com. My mom let me use her car and I want to stream music in it but I can't seem to do it in her car. So I found a solution, bought the WMA3000A with built-in AMI cable and i have BT steaming, and able to control, read, ,display music using original steering wheel and head unit controls. You can also check and try the 30pin WMA1000 model which plugs into any 30pin iPod integration cable.
A.K.A. The only thing I miss from Windows Phone. WP did a stellar job of this, right out of the box. But in Android, as is Android, I have to download 30 apps that might work, try them, research online as to why they don't, and finally settle on a hacky solution. Which is fine. I just don't know what that solution is. Here is the use case....
Get in car, and connect phone to Bluetooth for Audio, media etc.
Turn on Car audio system to FM radio input (NOT BLUETOOTH INPUT)
Wife texts me
How can I get the phone to read the text to me? I have seen some apps that can do this while BT input is selected. But the challenge is how to get this while not listening to Bluetooth Audio on the car's speaker system.
I know there's gotta be a way. Windows phone did it flawlessly, all the way since WP 7 in 2011.
Any ideas? Much obliged!

Gonna be a long read, with many tips
So, I have an Android headunit and was using the built-in Carplay app Zlink. Now I'm using Carlinkit dongle for Carplay, and here's why.
I'm referring to Carlinkit wireless carplay dongle, not Carlinkit wired to wireless adapter - very important!
As you already know, using Carplay in Android headunits generally introduces some audio lag, especially on wireless carplay. For example it takes some time after you press "next song" until the current song stops and the next one starts. Same with pause. Especially with wireless Carplay.The biggest issue for me is during phone calls, when you ask a question, takes a while to get an answer, and you also end up talking over eachother.
This is what I did: In the recent versions of Autokit with a recent version of the box firmware there is an advanced option to route audio through car bluetooth instead of through box. (not sure exactly what version you need, but latest versions have this option)If you select this, you need to connect your phone to the headunit bluetooth also, not only to autokit's box bluetooth (you connect to box BT for wireless)
Doing this allows for all audio to go through headunit's bluetooth which is basically lag-free.
So my setup is like this:
Wired: phone is connected by USB to dongle, and by BT to unitWireless: phone connects to box BT then to box WiFi for Carplay, and meanwhile also connects to head unit's BT for audio.
Advantages:
- No more lag when switching music or making calls, even in wireless carplay mode
- When the unit detects a call, it might do something smart that you want. Mine has a different volume for in-call, so I can now have louder phone calls without manually changing volume
- Since the phone is playing music over the BT connection, the unit is now aware that music is playing and knows artist and track name and it might display it somewhere, maybe have an overlay when changing tracks. Might be nice if you switch outside Carplay to some other screen/app on the unit.
- No more lag
- If unit has proper echo cancellation, it should work better, as BT is better controlled by the unit, unlike Carplay solutions which can have various delays that the unit cannot counter easily.
- If you were using built-in Carplay before (like I was), you wouldn't be able to use wireless Carplay and have internet from a hotspot, since unit's wifi was busy. If you switch to using Carlinkit dongle with Autokit, you free up unit's wifi and can now use a hotspot.
- Did I mention no more lag?
Disadvantages:
- Seems to use more battery when in wireless carplay mode, I think BT is less power efficient. My unit has BT 4.0, if yours has BT 5.0 maybe this would be better.
- This is a minor annoyance, but if your headunit BT is slow to connect to the phone (mine is) and you start playing music as soon as you have Carplay working (or have autoplay enabled), you might have music coming out of the phone speaker(s) for a few seconds, until unit BT connects and music goes to BT.
Beware the following:
- When using BT to listen to music, the volume on the phone matters, so make sure to turn it up to max. This volume level will be saved separately from usual phone volume though, so it's not a problem.
- Latest version of Autokit didn't find box updates for me, so if this option is not in the advanced settings, you might need to revert to an older version and use that to update box, then update app.
- After making this setup and trying to make a call, you might not hear anything, as the phone might use the carplay connection instead of the bluetooth connection. Just switch output from the phone "audio" button, and it seems to remember it for next times.
- Depending on the headunit and the software, when you get a call with this setup, headunit might decide to switch to it's own bluetooth phone app or just show an overlay. If it switches and it bothers you, try to find a solution specific to your unit. If it's an overlay and you want to remove it, what worked for me was going into android settings for app permissions and removing permission to draw over other apps for the unit's bluetooth app.
thanks for your post; i have a carplay dongle connected to an android headunit; when i call someone they have a very annoying echo voice. i wish it improves when my phone it connect to headunit bluetooth for calls
Are you able to get navigation audio using this option? I have the same dongle and was hoping I would get navigation too but I only get music audio. If I say "Hey Siri" just before Waze/Google Maps is about to prompt then I can hear the audio but doesn't really help me when driving. Looks like in my car the Navigation audio is going over the Siri channel? Not sure if anyone has a work around for that. Could be the way my car has bluetooth setup -- it's a 2012.
Can you provide a link or exact model for the "Carlinkit wireless carplay dongle"?

What is your box version?
When I try audio routing, on my iPhone still it shows Carplay as sound output option.
I tried this same option, but when my iPhone connects to wireless CarPlay, the head unit (not the dongle) turn off the bluetooth automatically, anyone knows how to stop this?

Wait, What??? the only way to remove the 3 second lag from headunit with zlink is by buying a dongle ??? I paid extra for Carplay/Android Auto Headunit.
And the 3 seconds delay is driving me nuts. This happens even without the zlink app open.
The dongle is carlinkit Autokit (CPC200-CCPA)? It is specially made for Android head units.
Hello everyone,
A month ago, I bought a stereo with Android 11 that has Zlink 5.2.2 installed, and I used it so far with an iPhone 8 until I get the Android phone I had just bought. Everything was fine with Carplay, I used Waze and Youtube Music simultaneously and had no problems.
Once I connected my Android phone (Oneplus 9 Pro) to the stereo with Android Auto wireless, the glitches started. The music plays fine, and Waze works perfectly, but when there is any kind of notification, when it ends, the music is muted. To continue with the music, I have to stop and play it again, then the music volume comes back. If there is another notification (when the music is "muted"), the music comes to be heard slightly, but as soon as the notification ends it goes back to mute. I know it is muted because if I let the song run, and it finishes it goes to the next song (HUD) but it is still not heard.
I have looked to see if this problem was solved in any forum and only found these two:

I'm having a similar issue. Every notification pauses spotify. I know it is paused because the icon of the button changes from pause to play. I have to hit the play button to reproduce the music again. This really bothers me. If you fix it please let us know.

I have found a solution for my case. I have bought a Chinese android head unit and using Android Auto by cable through Zlink. Every notification from the system pauses Spotify. When I turned off Bluetooth, the issue has disappeared. I have no idea why, but it seems that, in my case, since Android Auto works by cable, all the instructions are made by cable, so if Bluetooth is turned on, it was like all the instructions were duplicate, one by cable and another by Bluetooth, like a notification lowering the volume twice, which is equivalent to a pause, I don't know. The thing is, if Bluetooth is not connected, everything works just fine with Android Auto, no pause of music by any notification or Waze directions.
This started happening for me for CarPlay on zlink version:4.0.41.01 on ios15. it sometimes dips the music but majority of the time cuts it out. disabling Bluetooth didn’t help. Does anyone have a fix?

can you dump your version of Zlink i have 5.2.14 i dont have this problem but i have problem with the car unit not going into HD
Zlink5-V5.3.01 2022-9-19
1. Adapt to TS10 vertical screen, long screen (horizontal screen), and rotating screen UI display problems
2. The background picture of the car and the machine in the carplay auto connection interface with a resolution of 1024x600 to simple ILINK5 is different from the old version (resolved);
3. Optimized the adaptation of the carplay interface of the rotating screen.
4. Increase the number of mfi reads.
5. Optimize Auto display clarity.
6. Optimized the first connection to wired carplay is about 20s slower - about 11~13 seconds after optimization.
7. Solution: When the wireless Android or Apple screen is mirrored, the USB connection between the car and the mobile phone will be disconnected.
8. Solution: Use USB to connect the car and mobile phone in the state of wireless carplay or wireless auto. At this time, the wireless carplay or wireless auto will be disconnected.
9. Solution: When the car is not connected to the Internet, it will display the 2D that needs to be activated---add a pop-up prompt
10. Activation problems: Customer feedback: When scanning the code to activate, the phone appears to be out of authorization; /Customer feedback: After TLINK5 is activated, click refresh to activate and it shows that the activation is not successful.

1. Adapt to TS10 vertical screen, long screen (horizontal screen), and rotating screen UI display problems
2. The background picture of the car and the machine in the carplay auto connection interface with a resolution of 1024x600 to simple ILINK5 is different from the old version (resolved);
3. Optimized the adaptation of the carplay interface of the rotating screen.
4. Increase the number of mfi reads.
5. Optimize Auto display clarity.
6. Optimized the first connection to wired carplay is about 20s slower - about 11~13 seconds after optimization.
7. Solution: When the wireless Android or Apple screen is mirrored, the USB connection between the car and the mobile phone will be disconnected.
8. Solution: Use USB to connect the car and mobile phone in the state of wireless carplay or wireless auto. At this time, the wireless carplay or wireless auto will be disconnected.
9. Solution: When the car is not connected to the Internet, it will display the 2D that needs to be activated---add a pop-up prompt
10. Activation problems: Customer feedback: When scanning the code to activate, the phone appears to be out of authorization; /Customer feedback: After TLINK5 is activated, click refresh to activate and it shows that the activation is not successful.

I have found a solution for my case. I have bought a Chinese android head unit and using Android Auto by cable through Zlink. Every notification from the system pauses Spotify. When I turned off Bluetooth, the issue has disappeared. I have no idea why, but it seems that, in my case, since Android Auto works by cable, all the instructions are made by cable, so if Bluetooth is turned on, it was like all the instructions were duplicate, one by cable and another by Bluetooth, like a notification lowering the volume twice, which is equivalent to a pause, I don't know. The thing is, if Bluetooth is not connected, everything works just fine with Android Auto, no pause of music by any notification or Waze directions.

Hello everyone,
A month ago, I bought a stereo with Android 11 that has Zlink 5.2.2 installed, and I used it so far with an iPhone 8 until I get the Android phone I had just bought. Everything was fine with Carplay, I used Waze and Youtube Music simultaneously and had no problems.
Once I connected my Android phone (Oneplus 9 Pro) to the stereo with Android Auto wireless, the glitches started. The music plays fine, and Waze works perfectly, but when there is any kind of notification, when it ends, the music is muted. To continue with the music, I have to stop and play it again, then the music volume comes back. If there is another notification (when the music is "muted"), the music comes to be heard slightly, but as soon as the notification ends it goes back to mute. I know it is muted because if I let the song run, and it finishes it goes to the next song (HUD) but it is still not heard.
I have looked to see if this problem was solved in any forum and only found these two:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/zlink-connection-issue.4173307/post-86139335
I make a specific article for this issue because these two answers are in an article that is not specific to this problem.
If anyone can provide a solution to this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
Data:
- Android 11 (stereo and mobile)
- Zlink 5.2.2
- Android Auto 7.4.120744-release.daily
If you need more data, let me know. I'm new with this app, so bear with me.
