I have the official Samsung cardock, and connected it to my car radio (the cardock has a 3.5mm jack output). Nice, now I can listen to the music on my phone over my carspeakers!
BUT:
Whenever I make or receive a call, the sound of the conversation keeps channeling through the phone's own external speaker. Disabling the phone's external speaker (either during the call or beforehand) does not fix it. It just néver get's through the 3.5mm jack output to my car stereo. Annoying, since my car is pretty loud when speeding.
[Q]How to channel the audio of a voicecall to the jack-output? Does anybody know of a fix for this? I have looked around-and-around-and-around, and have asked this before. Just can't believe I'm the only-one that is bothered by this!
I AM NOT LOOKING FOR BLUETOOTH-CARKIT-SUGGESTIONS, no matter how nice you guys mean it
Anybody any idea?
Nobody no ideas?
I would like to do this too, speeding along the motorway the phone speaker is just too quiet.

Ah, at least I'm not the only one... Now let's hope some dev is bothered by the same problem
I guess this is gonna be one of those unanswered questions...
Bump-bumptie-dum
I recon if I bump long enough, someone with the solution should notice this question sooner or later; Although I realize that moment might be somewhere around 2015, with an answer like "Buy a galaxy S9 mate..."
Anyone?
Is the S9 there yet? Or else a solution to my problem?
I have a std aux input into my car stereo. Plugging a stereo 3.5 lead from the phone jack into the stereo aux I can listen to all sounds from the phone over all car speakers including calls... Just like when a headset is connected. Calls go over car speakers and phone mic picks up voice.
It would seem then that its the official samsung dock being treated different to a simple direct lead connection.
My only gripe is during calls the phones mic works but thinks its on a std call and is a bit weak. Wish I could force the mic into speakerphone mode or the levels associated with that mode anyway. Btw... Turning on speakerphone while lead is connected stops the output over the speakers.
I have a trrs mic / stereo splitter adapter and a seperate car 3.5 mic but again the mic levels on the phone in headset mode need boosting.

Hmm... So maybe if I use a splitter to merge the signal from both the cardock AND the phonejack...
Thnx m8! Not entirely what I was looking for (one more thing to do when plugging in my phone in the car), but it just-might-work!
Will report back
Just note I do not 'need' the splitter to make it work. Without a splitter it works just fine using car speakers and the phones mic (as the aux lead is std audio lead only - not including the third ring position for the mic).
I just got the splitter to use a seperate external mic in the car. The splitter simply has all 3 rings to make phone think its a full headset connected like the set that comes in the box with the phone and splits audio and mic into 2 seperate connections. This way I then take the std aux lead from the audio split to the stereo for listening over the car speakers and use the mic split for plugging in any std 3.5 external mic.

I understood that, it's just that I would probably need a splitter in my specific situation, since all my music gets played through the cardock by default as soon as I plug in the phone... It's possible to disable this automatic switch of audiorouting when the phone get's plugged in though, but somehow it just doesn't feel right to NOT use the audio-out feature of the cardock
I use the Sony Tablet S for Skype and the microphone Skype as I'am travelling around the world atm in cities with varying broadband speeds so it is not my broadband speed and I know it is not Skype as my friend uses his ipod touch to Skype with minimum problems. I was wondering if I could plug a headset into my headphone jack and speak through the microphone jack?

The tablet's stereo headphone output jack also serves as a mono microphone input jack, so a headset with a microphone can be connected to the jack.
So I'm using my old Infuse car dock for the SIII. It has USB plugin along with a 3.5mm audio jack. It's not using the headphone jack. It piggybacks the 3.5mm audio out of the USB.
Anyways, I have not yet figured out how to get both bluetooth and the usb/3.5mm audio working at the same time.
Music works great coming out off the 3.5mm audio to my car stereo. But then I can't use my bluetooth microphone at the same time?
So if I want to take a call, I have to remove the phone from the dock and answer it the old fashioned way.
My wife and I share a car which does not have bluetooth. To make use of hands free we have a cradle and a cable which connects the headphone socket to the input on the car stereo. Conversations are then heard through the car speakers and the phone microphone picks up our voices.
I have an HTC One X and this works fine for me.
My wife has a Samsung SII but when she tries the same setup the microphone seems to be unable to pick up her voice at a reasonable volume - she sounds very quiet and partially muted. I had a look and couldn't find any microphone settings in the OS. I did experiment with a couple of calls and found:
1. With the phone speaker disabled the microphone doesn't pick up very well and the person at the other end of the phone struggles to hear. The sound in the car from the other person is great - via the car stereo.
2. With the phone speaker enabled the microphone work really well and the other person can hear perfectly BUT the sound in the car is directed through the phone speaker and NOT the car stereo.
I checked with my HTC and all I have to do is plug it in and it works perfectly.
Any suggestions as to why this happens with the SII and what I can do about it?

How do you exactly connect the phones to the car?
via Cable or via bluetooth?
If I connect my SII to my car, the microphone of my car is used and my phone only works as transmitter between the phone cell and the car speaker/microphone.
The car does not have Bluetooth, we use a cable.

On my Galaxy Nexus I could use headphone jack to my truck stereo for listening to podcast and when I got a phone call it would come through my bluetooth. On s4 calls won't go to bluetooth till I unplug the headphone jack. Is their anyway to do this like my gn
