Anyone have a solution for this? I'd like to be able to play MP3's through my car stereo (via FM transmitter), as well as have it plugged into my car lighter to keep it charged.
I figure I can buy the audio adapter and plug it into a generic FM transmitter. I could also buy a boxwave Versacharger to charge it. But I can't do both at the same time b/c they both use the mini USB.
In any event, this proprietary crap sucks.
The only option I'm aware of:
http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=140425
yes, this is the UNIC option.. because:
a) HTC Proprietary connector: it's VERY DIFFICULT to find this type of mini-usb connector
b) Stereo headphones provided with hermes DOESN't have cables to charge the pda
Expensive option... get a bluetooth headset with 3.5mm input to connect to your FM transmitter ... and say bye bye to wired music.. almost..

Heheh... I actually thought of that. I think I'll go with the cheaper option
Here's how I did it:

Has anyone managed to not only get the sound going through their speakers, but have their stereo mute on incoming call?
I'm not sure this is possible. I imagine your average phone has a pin it sets closed or high or something. The hermes doesn't seem to..
URPREY: Does the adaptor give you one standard mini usb for charging then split the 'special' audio pins to the other standard mini usb? Did you then just adapt a mini usb cable to hook into the line level inputs of your stereo?

It gives me one mini USB for charging, and a port exactly like that on the hermes for the audio/headset portion. I used a usb to 3.5mm adapter from mobileplanet.com to give me the 3.5mm audio out.

Yep, sorry, didn't see the extra adapter. That's a shame. It makes the very expensive first plug poor value for money.
If they come out with an adapter that turns it into mini USB and 3.5mm I'll go for it.. otherwise..
2 other q's:
1) With the first adapter, can you then use ANY usb car charger (ie does it bridge the NC pin to ground?) or do you then need your car charger to do that
2) What triggers 'headphone' detection? Is it the first adapter, the stereo adapter or is it actually plugging speakers into the stereo adapter?
This information would be extremely helpful, thank you!

I can use any car charger, but the other ones I have don't provide enough power to consistently cause the 8525 to recognize the charger (and thus they don't always charge).
I don't know the answer to your second question. I'd be happy to check it out for you tomorrow when it's light outside again

Cheers for that. By not consistently recognize you mean it detects it the first time you plug it in then not anymore? If so that sounds like what I've found too.. it's due to the 'spare' pin 4 (or 2 or B depending what diagram you're looking at) not being grounded. The fact it detects it once per reset seems to be a bug.

Correct. The car charger that came with my device holder works perfectly and consistently charges my phone every time I plug it in, so I've always use that one.

Sorry - yes. With just the audio adapter hooked up, the sound continues to come out of the rear speaker. When I plug in the headphones, the sound switches to the headphones. Hope that helps.

Yep thanks. From this I can work out from the pin outs that have been worked out that the tytn detects headphones (and thus shuts off the back speaker) by testing impedance/capacitance or something on the speaker out cables.
Since there are no official cradles for the tytn I'm looking at knocking up a solution like yours, charge in the car and gps nav through the stereo (was hoping for auto stereo mute on call but that's a pipe dream) and doing it without the 2 expensive adapters and car charger my jasjam didn't have.
I've gathered a bit of info about the usb connection from various sites and forum topics. Maybe I should create a/add to the hermes usb port page in the wiki, if anyone but me is interested..
I hope the tytn Y cable is NEEDED, because there isn't a male "minu usb" jack like the one on the hermes in commerce. Cutting original headphones has no results because you can't charge it.
I have thought to buy tytn y cable, open it, and if there is some space inside, to add a 2.5mm - 3.5mm (depends on the free space) jack
So the Y adapter has 3 outputs: to charge, headset & jack.
If no space is avaiable, i cut my headphones and plug it from y cable to my stereo (also with mic included).
Another thing, to detect ORIGINAL CHARGER must be connected B & A pins, as described in THIS url comments
I agree with wiki page

Parrot makes a BT car kit that connects into all factory stereos to use the speakers to play the phone or mp3 through the car stereo speakers. Obviously the mic is a separate item, but incoming calls (or listing to mp3s from your BT phone) do mute the car stereo during the call.
several kits work, but I have Parrot CK3000 Evolution Bluetooth, Hands-Free Car Kit which came with specific harnesses for my car make and model. The other one is a bit flashier here:

Auto stereo mute works fine if you use WMP or even with TCPMP if you uncheck the "play music in background" option

useful 3.5mm adapter
Hi guys,
I just bought a multifunctional adapter for my phone. This way, i can connect my Mogul to my sound system in my Smart Car. it's helpful. Here is the link from where I bought it:
http://www.moguldepot.com/htc-multifunction-audio-adapter/11A75A4401.htm
FYI, it seems to work for earspeaker; but, it doesn't seem to direct sound from loudspeaker applications.
If anyone know how to redirect loudspeaker to 3.5mm, let us know.

The strap comes off and its a very neat solution if you dont want a mike.
USE Bluetooth
There are so many bluetooth stero headphones.
Much better. You can still take or make calls.
I have sony HBH-DS205. Works great. You can connect any other headphone or even connect to you home theatre systme (with one extra bit of connector).
£1.99
I got one off ebay from a chinese seller for £1.99 i was the only bidder and received it within about 15 days from china and works a treat.
EBAY
guys guys. Just go to ebay and you will get it very cheap. Why would you pay 5X more for same product made in same country.
Basically two good options, either use this:

The U11 will come with an active noise cancelling headphones. That's nice for listening on the air plane. But, if I watch movies or listen to music on a long flight, the phone may not have much juice left by the time I land. Is there anything that would allow charging and listening to headphones at the same time?
When you charge, use BT phones.

My impression, based on the HTC video, was that it's the microphones on the handset that receive the ambient sounds that are then cancelled out. If that is so would this not mean that any headphones connected would provide some noise cancelling capability (the function being carried out on the handset rather than the normal (in headset) method).
I understand that the HTC U11 headphones have mics on them and via the USB-C send that signal back to the phone for processing.
That's why the headphone replacement cost is still sub US$50.
It makes perfect sense and does away with the battery that usually come with ANC headphones. (http://us.akg.com/all-headphones/in-ear/N20+NC.html?dwvar_N20 NC_color=Black#start=1)
And apparently they are reporting now that the noise canceling function of the included headphones only works with this phone.

The headphones should work on any USB-C enabled phone (including the U Ultra), but the Noise Cancelling is a feature built into the U11.
You cant take it away from HTC to make available the U11 replacement headsets that support Active Noise Cancellation for under US$50.
The only other Smartphone that shipped with ANC headphones (in selected regions) was the Sony Xperia Z2 along with the Sony Digital Noise Cancelling Headset MDR-NC31EM that achieve similar benefits with the phone handling the ANC wizardy.

I found a solution for this. I was searching for USB C Hub and found some have pass through USB-C PD ports. There are different options in the hub. Some have HDMI output, Ethernet, SD card reader.... and they're expensive. I got one with just USB 3.1 ports for only $9.00 from Amazon. There problem is USB 3.1 ports are all Type A connectors. So, I have to get an USB 3.0 Type A Male to USB 3.1 Type C Female Converter Adapter, another $6.00 from Amazon. After that, I tested on the Google Pixel phone and the JBL Reflect Aware C Earphones. They work perfectly. The phone is charged in rapid mode and the headphones noice consolation works. Now, the hub and the adaptor is a little big and I will have to deal with it. it's not too bad when sitting still on the airplane seat. The more expensive hubs may be more compact.

The smaller one doesn't work (link below). The charge shows up as "Charge slowly" or just "Charge" without "Rapid" after unplug/plug a few times. The phone doesn't recognize the headphone when plug in to the USB-A port. I'm returning it. That's too bad because the size of it is much smaller than the other one and it looks much better too. . Do not buy it...

From the reviews I've seen the noise cancelling is negligible and enhanced more by the ear plug's noise isolation. Great for day to day listening in a noisy office but not great for plane or train rides. I'll stick to my Bose for noise cancelling on flights and use included headphones for day to day use.
Hi,
I picked up my U 11 a couple of days ago.
Using the U11 on the train worked very well. You can tell the difference when ANC is ON or OFF.
I would say it's comparable to my Sony Bluetooth Active Noise Cancelling Headphones.

Hello!
I recently picked up a pixel 6, very happy with it so far except for the fact that my car is too old for the bluetooth to carry music to the radio.
I was wondering if anybody has managed to find a type c to 3.5mm cable that works? I have tried a type c to 3.5mm adaptor and it doesn't work, I think I need a straight type c to 3.5mm cable instead of an adaptor?
Before anybody asks, I have an fm transmiter but not really enjoying the experience between static or the bluetooth getting confused with the car itself.
I don't see why a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter shouldn't work. Try finding one on amazon that specifically advertises use in cars. It could be possible that the one you have is incompatible, manufacturers tend to make adapters that only work in specific circumstances.
You need an active adapter with integrated DAC (digital to analogue converter). Passive ones will not work. You better get the google cable if available. Apple one works but is too quiet in android. In fact any active cable should work.
Thank you both.
I have seen this one on Amazon, this is what I need I guess?

That way you can still be wireless and have Bluetooth in an older car, without having to deal with those hit or miss radio adaptors
I have this issue since using the Galaxy S21, the way I fixed it, start playing music on the phone speaker, then connect the cable, and it will start working, it happens all the time, that why I bought a cheap Bluetooth receiver from Walmart, best $8 I've spent in years.

Just to clear up what that actually means for OP: a passive adapter will work only on USB-C ports that are able to route an *analog* signal. These are fairly uncommon -- most USB-C ports are digital only.
The nice thing about digital output is that you get to control the sound quality by selecting a USB-DAC of a quality that meets your needs, instead of being limited to whatever cheap thing they built in to the phone.
Physically, you can't even tell the difference any more. While USB-DAC's used to always involve a "big ugly box", the circuitry has shrunk these days to small enough to fit into the ends of the dongle.
The headphone adapter sold by Google is an example of this, its a USB-DAC, but shows no sign of containing any significant components besides the connectors.
I tried one that came with an old Motorola phone and it did not work, but Google sells one. They should be able to confirm if it works before you order it
https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_headphone_adapter?hl=en-US
I've personally tried 3 different ones that have worked for me, the first one was from an old Motorola phone, the second one, was one that I bought at an airport, I believe the brand is Moshi, and the third one was coming from a one plus phone. They all worked by playing on phone speaker and then plugging it.

It works on your Pixel 6? Maybe mine is defective??
This discussion is very interesting. Generally pixel 6 (and previous pixels also) do not send analogue audio signal to the usb type c port hence passive converters from type c to 3.5 mm do not work. You need active converter with integrated DAC (digital to analogue converter) in it so that the digital audio from the usb type c port is transformed to analogue signal and sent to the headphones or whatever else. Every phone though has integrated DAC in the chipset because otherwise it would not be able to drive its own speakers with analogue signal. When i tried to connect my passive DAC adapter from oneplus 7 phone i got error on the pixel 6 that cable is not compatible. It is possible if you play something through the speakers analogue signal to also be copied towards the usb type c port and this way to trick passive adapters to also work but this need to be tested. I think that i still have the passive adapter somewhere and will test these days if i find it.

This discussion is very interesting. Generally pixel 6 (and previous pixels also) do not send analogue audio signal to the usb type c port hence passive converters from type c to 3.5 mm do not work. You need active converter with integrated DAC (digital to analogue converter) in it so that the digital audio from the usb type c port is transformed to analogue signal and sent to the headphones or whatever else. Every phone though has integrated DAC in the chipset because otherwise it would not be able to drive its own speakers with analogue signal. When i tried to connect my passive DAC adapter from oneplus 7 phone i got error on the pixel 6 that cable is not compatible. It is possible if you play something through the speakers analogue signal to also be copied towards the usb type c port and this way to trick passive adapters to also work but this need to be tested.

I tried an adapter from a Oneplus 6 (if memory serves) and I had the same problem, hence the thread
Given the one from Google looks just the same I am apprehensive to buy it until I am 100% certain
Today DAC circuits are so small that it is easy to integrate these into the usb type c part of the cable. There is no way to tell if cable is active or passive only by looking at it anymore. Google cable should work fine. Alternatively you can try the trick with first playing through the speakers and then connecting the old oneplus 6 cable and see if that will make it work. ne side note - don't buy the apple usb to 3.5 mm cable. It has very low volume on android (works properly on ios and windows). Tested it myself.

It would need to be physically wired together like that, which it is definitely not.
It would probably also need a second DAC built in, because there are only so many speakers you can drive with the built-in. That's why some phones are advertised as "dual DAC".
Got Pixel 6 usb-c to 3.5 mm one direct from Google...works great.

Is this for a car aux port or for earphones you use it for?
Hello I would like to see if anyone here could kindly help me. Basically I have a mi mix 4 on miui 13 eu rom I have a usb c cable that connects to 2 pin iems the cable has a dac built into the usb c housing the cable works fine on my old phone but with the mi mix 4 occasionally there is a subtle static sound. My old phone doesnt support passive usb audio so a digital signal gets sent to the dac where it turns into analogue since it works on that phone the cable itself isnt the problem however I know xiaomi phones support passive analogue out the usb to 3.5 mm adapter it comes with doesnt have a dac in it and works fine with earbuds with a 3.5mm jack so I was wondering what I can do to fix this issue could a software update to miui 14 eu rom help or should I try pixel experience? Is there someway to make the phone not detect the external dac and bypass it because id be fine with using the internal dac basically by forcing audio adapter accessory mode. I wish I could find a cable that as usb c to two pin that didnt have a built in dac but it seems like it is such a niche thing. All this to avoid having to use a adapter lol
