I've had the S21 for a few days and I've been using it in my aux-only car with a 3.5mm dongle. When I activate google assistant, it doesn't use the phone's microphones because it's trying to use a nonexistent auxiliary microphone.
Is there any way to force it to use the builtin mics while using an aux dongle?
I don't know of any way, but a workaround might be to use something like this gadget, I use this in our old Acura which only has an aux-in. This little device has a built-in mic.

Hi,
My Vario II justification to the misses was that we'd be able to listen to music in the car with it (our CD player is dead).
Has anyone come across an FM transmitter that you can power from the car cigar lighter and plug directly into the mini usb socket on the TyTN?
Cheers,
Steve.
I'm looking for the same thing
I bought a SONY MEX5000 BT stereo that uses Bluetooth streaming. It is so cool! much better quality(sound) then the radio ones. I dont carry CDs anymore just everything over BT with MP3s.

and how to connect ?
--> no way @ this moment ...
Try Nokia HS-12W. Google to see how it looks like.
It is a bluetooth Stereo Headset which you can listen to MP3 played from Tytn.
It is also a standalone FM Radio by itself without the Tytn at all.
I have one, cool.
Hi and is there a bluetooth receiver taht one can plug into a stereo ?
HS-12W is a Wireless (no wire between it and phone) Stereo Headphone via Bluetooth with Build in FM Radio.
What I meant about the bluetooth reciever is if there is one that tha pda streams music and is recieved by a device that can be plugged into the home stereo, same principle as a headset only differance is that it'll go to speakers.....hop I made it clearer this time... or maybe it's that I am not gettin it jaja
You are refering to Home Stereo Hi-Fi Amplifier/Receiver to speakers. Well it is something I was thinking about some years ago when I first read the white paper on Bluetooth v2.0 A2DP Profile.
But Hi-Fi industry in term of following latest trend is normally a little slower than the computer & mobile industry. So far, not that I know of that there is a build in Bluetooth Hi-Fi system including speakers. Maybe it is time to do a google on this topic, it would be good if there is such solution to get rid of the messy wire connections.
I do know that there is such thing as Bluetooth Donger, which is a bluetooth device with a headphone jack and you can plug the headphone jack into the Hi-Fi headphone jack and bingo you have wireless music with you wireless headphone, but bluetooth is quite subject to surrounding interfence, so you may have broken music in your ears.
The is also some not so good old technology using Infra-Red. The better ones are the wireless headphone sets using RF frequency which you can listen to music even you and your hi-fi are in different room.
Hope I got your question right this time.
Hey CWKJ,
Thanx for your reply. Look at the following link:

It's a bluetooth speaker, but what I am looking for is something that can make any car home stereo into a bluetooth reciever...
You mean something like the Tunestage II for the iPOD?
http://www.techdigest.tv/2006/10/belkins_tunesta.html
I'm looking for something similar that will plug into a car stereo - i.e. a bluetooth receiver which will plug into the external input of my car stereo, so I can stream to it from my TyTN - anyone know of anything?
PS Yes, I have seen the Parrot MK6000, but I don't think its out until Q1 2007....
BINGO!! Yes like this, only that you don't need the transmitter (tytyn would be it!).
check out the I-Tech S35 clip. A2DP receiver with a 5mm headset jack. You can cable this to your car with an adaptor cable. The I-Tech doesn't skip either!
Yes! this seems to work! jajaj do you actually use it? or know of someone that has used it with this purpose?
Once again thank you for your responses!
I've not used it myself for this purpose. I've no doubt that it will work though. What I am interested in is the usable range. The applicaton I have in mind will require 4-5 meter range from the I-Tech device to my TyTN.

Ok, you are talking about car hi-fi system, the speaker looks good.
For Home hi-fi system, maybe there isn't bluetooth audiophile speaker yet.
For the car hi-fi system, there are some with the audio output (the Left - Right or White - Red cable build-in type audio output cable). Buy another cable adaptor (Left - Right/White - Red to stereo headphone cable) and the Bluetooth Donger, connect them up and you will have the audio on you bluetooth speaker. Hope this works!
Hey! look at this:
http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/12/sony-goes-ape-with-a2dp-stereo-bluetooth-accessories/
Sony always has great product.
November 18 in Japan? If so, wondering when it will be available in other parts of the world?
I already found some for sale in ebay!! wow!
I found this Bluetooth car unit last weekend and would like to share with you all.
In my own experience, this is the best one I ever tried.
LiquidAUX™ Bluetooth® Car Kit
http://us.kensington.com/html/14484.html
I got it for total $75 in Comp USA. This unit plugs directly to car cigaratte power plug, and the 3.5 mm audio jack plugs to your car AUX port. Yes, its designed for car stereo that has an audio AUX plug. I know there are some products that also integrate FM transmitter for feeding the audio to the car stereo, and I have tried those, but this one is much better if your car has an AUX input and you simply need to add a bluetooth connection to your phone.
The microphone is very good, even though my power plug in deep buried, and I was thinking to extend the plug with an extension cord, but indeed it still works well.
It auto connect to my HD when I turn on the car, and it transmits both phone and music (A2DP) with a very good sound quality.
It comes with a remote control that you can tied to your steering wheel to make it even better. Our HD does not have a DPAD and controlling music playing has been a challenge in the car. With this remote, all those issue no longer there.
I used to use a direct cable connection to connect my HD to my car stereo, and sometimes when I simply forget or feel lazy and just want to go right away, I will not be able to accept call or play music from my HD. With this BT connection, when I walk in to my car and switch it on, it auto connects to the HD, and the remote works right away to start playing music or make a phone call.
The previous BT dongle I used to have, such as the itech BT dongle, or the Jabra BT dongle, I always have issue to swith them on, swith them off, and sometimes it does not connect, and then have to remember to charge them once in a while.
With this unit, I don't have all of those issues, and it simply merges together nicely with my car stereo as if it has BT integrated.
I highly recommend it, if you have a AUX port in your car stereo. If you have a casette player, it should work also, but you would like to use a coupler to connect the both 3.5 mm audio jack together.
I got one of these from for about £40 from Amazon, but I had the problem of the cig lighter always being on show, which was annoying.
I go this handsfree kit, http://www.parrot.com/uk/products/hands-free-car-kits, which is by far the best I have ever used. Has full iPod support, 3.5mm jack and usb support.
Full colour screen and phonebook storage / voice dial.

Yep, parrot really works fine both with my HTC Touch Cruise(P3650) as the HTC Touch HD
I use the xcarlink USB/SD adaptor with bluetooth module. It plugs directly into the CD changer port of the stereo, allows me to charge my phone via the USB port whilst streaming audio through the bluetooth connection. Audio auto-pauses when I receive calls, which also use the stereo speaker system and music functionality is controlled via the normal stereo controls or the cars steering wheel controls. Track time, etc., is displayed on the normal car stereo display.
There are a few functionality niggles, but they are easily overcome with a dash mount for the phone and a skin for mobile media player that has large buttons. I designed a skin, just for use in the car, so everything is really easy now.
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
Anyone been successful in streaming music/audio books from the ATT GS2 to their Mygig nav/radio system (I have a 2011 Dodge Nitro, latest firmware)?
The Captivate did not work correctly either. :/
I have a 3.5mm jack but Bluetooth should work dang it!
Cy
if u want wireless music, here is a solution which is what im doing in my 2006 bmw 325xi.
i have a 3.5mm audio input, so i bought a bluetooth audio receiver and plugged it into the 3.5mm slot in my armrest and there is a 12v power input there too, so i have everything inside my armrest plugged in and then my phone is transmitting to the receiver and bam wireless audio in my car!
might not be an ideal situation for you, but this is how im doing it. although i do have bluetooth integrated into my stock head unit, but its for only phone calls, i tried to use some apps found in the market that stream to mono bluetooth headsets (ear piece) i assumed it would of worked in my car, but no luck :/
so i hope this helps!
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.
