Originally I had wanted to mount the P3113 right into my dash (in place of the radio) then I found out that they don't make custom kits to fit the tab. Had a friend estimate the time/price to make it happen and even from him doing the work it looked like it would be about $400 to build the custom parts for it. Not to mention about a days worth of work.
So based on above, I have decided to go another route, I am going to get a mount, and just put the tab over the radio (not in the dash just on the mount arm). So now I am left looking for a really cheap new radio, since no one will ever see the radio face since the tab will be in front of it.
Anyone have any suggestions on a cheap sturdy radio that I could get? Anyone done anything like what I am trying to do before? If possible I would like all the parts to be reusable for when I buy a new car down the road (currently in a 2002 Honda Civic).

However not in my possible world right now, I can't afford that much time/labor from my friend.
Thus I am looking into a radio head to install that will work the best with the tab, whether it be USB aux or a regular headphone Aux.
Any other suggestions? Or ways to do the original idea on the mega cheap lol
off topic maybe?

Not sure how either of the past 2 posts were off topic, unless you meant the topic of the thread altogether, then I don't know where else this would go.
This is kind of about accessories, its something that hooks up to your tab for use, in it's most basic form I think that is what an accessory is (I don't know the exact definition, so I apologize if I am incorrect).
His post with the link was on topic in the fact that that was my original plan however to pricey/time consuming.
So now I am looking into radios for the car, since I can always take the radio to my next vehicle when the time comes, I can't always take a custom made dash mount.
Any thoughts into a good cheap radio would be appreciated, I wasn't sure if USB would be an option with a radio, so that is something I could def use advice on, I would be using I Heart Radio for example, and I wasn't sure if that would play through a USB connection, or if it needs to be audio out through the headphones.
I'd go with a BlueTooth receiver. Here's one for $90

No CD. But will do USB & AUX & BT
I have a 2000 Xterra with the stock CD/cassette/am/fm radio in it. I use the cassette adapter or a radio transmitter to a headphone plug with no problems. The cassette adapter is a lil clearer to me.
Just mount the Tab, plug in to the adapter, and you are ready to rock out!

Well, at least the radio is....I'd think a wifi or aux rather than usb would be best, that way you can charge while playing

Hi and sorry if stupid question. Searched but didn't fine anything about this.
My X10 mini pro headphones can't be used on other (say, phones, laptops) because pins are used differentely. Sound is crappy unless I push the headphone button (And I don't want to do this all day long LOL).
Same if I plug 'normal' headphones into the X10. Is this normal?
Can it be changed? If not, it means I'm stuck with SE accessories only? That'd suck big time...
Thank for your help.
Lookin for work around for this.. came up ur thread... i m tryin to use a Samsung Galaxy stock headphones and can't get them to work right... i guess jacks vary...
Is there any work around for this? Anyone? Thank you

I use Sennheiser headphones fine on my X10MP. Are the headphones 3 pin aswell? normal stereo headphones with no mic etc should work fine, it's just the microphone that's dodgy with these pin setups. try a standard stereo and see if they work

Let me preface this with "Yes, I did search". However, I know I am horrible at searching. For some reason the string I use rarely results in the desired results. Nonetheless, after 30-40 minutes of searching I feel reasonably sure that either these questions haven't been asked before, or the answers are so simple, no one felt the need to ask them.
I've got some music videos on my Note, and I'd like to play them on my TV through an HDMI port.
1) Is there a micro USB to HDMI conversion cable?
2) Is the Note capable of a video output?
3) Is there a way to make a video playlist so that the music videos will play back to back without my having to start a new one every time?
Thanks for any answers... or even links to threads asking these same questions that I wasn't able to find.

1. You need a mhl adapter. Check amazon.
2. Yes, with said adapter
3. Check Google market, there are a few video players that support playlists.
Yes, I called it Google market lol.

Is this the adapter you are talking about? Seems to fit the bill.

Has anyone run video out off their Note yet? Any hints for best results?
Mobo Video Pro just locks up. Couldn't figure out a way to get MixZing to play more than one music video at a time. I tried WinAmp, and I'm sure I can make a playlist, but I'd really rather just have the player open the folder and play everything in the folder.

That's interesting. Does the screen shut off when playing over the TV or does it stay on?

Works on my Westinghouse TV and yes the phone screen stays on. You can buy remotes for your phone as well. Or use wireless controllers to play games over the TV.

If you have a PS3, you can use your existing PS3 controller as well (if you're rooted), since it's bluetooth.
Those adapters support audio out as well? I think I need to scrounge up some extra cash...

Yes they do audio out too.
If you use PS3 controller you need sixasis drivers. You can also use the wiimote with the correct drivers.
Still haven't found a good video player. Any suggestions?
Edit: mvideoplayer is working very well for me.
I'm really sorry if this is a re-post but i couldnt find it anywhere....similar problems but not the same.
My galaxy s2 i9100 thinks i have an auxiliary wire connected so it wont play music or ring or o. if i actually connect headphones or car radio aux wire it works perfect........here and there it will work normally without plugging anything into it...also the loudspeaker works fine. i thought maybe something is stuck, or loose, i opened the phone disconnected the speaker/secondary mic/vibrator bundle...cleaned connectors...n connected it again....no luck......i completely replaced it after that...and still the same problem persists.....plz help!!!!
Ps i already completely factory reset including usb.

Since you seem to have tried almost everything, I suggest you take it to a Service Centre and have it checked.
Hi guys
Weaned myself off Apple with HTC One M8 (love it). I used the extra storage to re-rip my CDs to uncompressed files. They sound great!
Bought a brand new Mazda CX5 Grand Touring with Tech pkg (love it) partially because it was "Android compatible" .
It has 9 speakers with 5.1 surround-but it will only "surround" through the USB port or with a CD.
HTC bluetooth pairs, but won't recognize the car through USB!! I am told by HTC it is not compatible. Is this an issue with all new vehicles or just Mazda?
What is blocking this? Any work arounds without rooting?
I have a rooted Google Nexus 10, but would rather keep my phone stock while under contract if possible.
Thanks.
The issue is that Android has converted to MTP mode instead of USB mass storage; with the latter being what car stereo head units require.
Not sure if there is a mod to convert to USB mass storage, but I'd start there. Probably need root to do so (if such a mod exists).

Why? Warranty is still honored on a rooted phone. Only things that are out of warranty on AT&T are physical or water damage.
Is there a possible way to unlock bootloader for ATT models SM-R750A? so we can flash roms without problems with Odin?
You find a way to unlock this bootloader and I'll pay you $100..

That website is fake. You can't unlock the bootloader. You should considering trading your gear s for a tmobile one or just buy one on ebay.
Unlocked bootloader will never happen for a device like this. Trade it in or just buy a tmobile one if u can find one.

To answer that question; "Yes." I'm not sure why One would make a comment, without knowledge of the process. Pay no mind to them. What you need to do is follow the thread I provide, and work your way from there. Good luck.:fingers-crossed:

Also, take the bands off off your GearS2 G3/4 models such as my SM-R730A and One will see a tab that can be removed... This is a magnetic USB port. One can adhere or solder a USB, or use the old Gear 2 charger and tape it tight. This will allow for wired transfer. Also if you do your research, there is a port # associated with the Gear S2 to use whilst connected to a PC by BT. (Bluetooth)
I have added ringtones, notifications, changes to system UI, added my own .wgt (widget) files and the like. All I need to do is figure out how to get Google to work through ifttt, or ported standalone widget.
