Does anyone know of a adapter I can use to connect my 8525 to my car cassette player to play some mp3s?
Casette adapter
I'm using regular (wired) casete adapter which I got from RadioShack and connect it to R35 which in its turn is paired with TyTN. By this I can listen mp3 stored in mн PDA as well as on-line radio through car speakers. I should note that quality is much better than I expected, better tha regular radio (not HD )
Wonderful news thanks..
I installed the Sony MEX-BT5000. Its able to stream audio from the tytn via BT. Very nice, it connects automatically when I start the engine. I also use it as my handsfree for calls. At first, callers said they couldnt hear me loudly, so I flipped down the faceplate during calls and now calls are good. This is because the mic is behind the faceplate.
Just thought I'd throw it out there...another option to connect the tytn wirelessly.

This is wonderful news because I was just looking into some bt radios..
Do you have a BT headset? I'm curious if I can still use my headset while in the car and just do the audio part..
I do have a BT headset, but I found that the combination doesnt work well. I tried to split the audio streaming to the headunit, and then the handsfree to the headset, but the results were unreliable at best.
I've found that the headunit mic is good enough quality to speak through, as long as you flip down the faceplate. If you dont want to use the handsfree, you can use the audio only and regular Tytn phone. The BT connections are separated by Sony.
Interestingly enough, I was able to internet radio stream via BT to the headunit, and run Tomtom navigator 5 BT GPS unit at the same time. The music volume was decreased and the directions came over the music.
I guess I could just turn off my headset while in the car. I assume it will mute the radio when calls come through..
So you don't get any skipping or anything while playing mp3s?
Do you store your mp3s on a storage card?
Mp3s stored on storage card and internet radio streaming doesnt skip connected via bluetooth.
What is a R35? Is it a BT radio reciever of some sort?
hi
I walk to work and back everyday and I listen to my DAB radio all the time.
Problem is (and I realise its not the biggest problem in the world) I can't hear my phone so always miss calls.
Can anyone think of a solution so I can get audio from my DAB into the Hermes so I can listen to the radio and when I get a call, it interupts the audio? I thought about using the mini usb but that only has a mic in and if I use that, if the phone rings all they'll hear is my radio
Its a big of an expensive solution but would this work?:

So I bluetooth audio to my Hermes then use the wired headphones/mic to listen to it and if I get a call, the audio stops?!
Would that work?
thanks in advance

You could just have your phone on ring AND vibrate and keep it in your pocket so you feel it.
Just an idea
Try these instead. http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat1150057/cat5420035/prod29780013
I have had a pair for about a year and the sound is great. You can connect the included dongle your DAB or any other non blue tooth audio device and set up a link between your phone and the dongle with the headset. While you are listening to your music from the DAB if you receive a call the headset silences the music and you can answer the call directly from the headset. When the call ends your music resumes automatically. I may be a little pricier than device you listed but works like a charm.
Note make sure you look at the 590a not the 590e. The 590e does not include the dongle.
Also don't purchase it directly from Plantronics site. You can get it for about $100 if you search the web for it.
is there anyway to get the satnav to interupt your cars headunit the same way that a call does.
i.e im listening to my headunit (fm radio) in car. infact no matter what source i'm listening to if a call comes in the source is interupted and the call can be auto answered.
but when satnav has an instruction to give it does not interupt the headunit source! to get the satnav voice over you have to be in bluetooth audio mode!
while playing audio from your phone mp3 etc to the headunit satnav will over voice it. i thought i found the solution by having the radio on my phone on playing through bluetooth audio but it won't let you it only has the ability to play through wired headset or speaker!
fix?
i must add. yes i realise the wired headset acts as the radio antenna. so what i want is the wired headset plugged in = antenna but sound to go through bluetooth
Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my bluetooth on this phone. I plug my phone into my cars speakers to play music and have my bluetooth headset on my ear for phone calls. On my Epic4G it automatically used bluetooth when a call came in.. but this phone doesn't. When I get a call I can answer it with my bluetooth physical button but it uses the phone mic and the car speakers. Is there anyway to fix this? I cant stand unplugging my aux cable EVERYTIME i have to answer my phone
thanks
Hi,
I have a BlueAnt bluetooth set in my car but it keeps dropping out and sounds crap.
I have a proper Samsung Car mount with a 3.5mm Audio jack that connects to my Audio in on the Car stereo.
Using this, I can play music from the SGS2 and hear things like GPS software instructions on the car speakers.
The question is, how do I get the phone side of things to play via the 3.5mm jack and use the built in phone MIC for the pickup?
Ie same as speaker phone but coming through the car speakers instead of the phone speaker.
Surely this is just a setting / registry change etc?
Neil.
