I tried an AUX cable on three different phones. There was always a high pitched whine through my speakers. I started using a Samsung HM3500 plugged into the same AUX jack and got better quality music with no whine. Plus, no extra cable running through my car to the dash mount.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DutchDogg54:
Did you guys all just have a car stereo that had bluetooth built in? I have an '05 Bonneville GXP but the stereo has neither a aux port or bluetooth capability...Major sad face...I really don't want to replace the stereo either because it's nice and fits the look of the car - would look stupid with anything other than a big touchscreen replacement and that's just too expensive.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colorado_al:
You could get an FM modulator that would allow you to add a line in via your radio antenna, but they don't have great sound quality.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
Yes, just swap out the headunit for one with bluetooth build-in. Just make sure it supports A2DP (music streaming over bluetooth). I got mine from Amazon for $140, Sony MEX-BT3900U, and it been simply great. A2DP for bluetooth streaming, Aux port for wired 3.5mm audio, and it has USB port for charging the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
High Pitched whine is a POWER ISSUE

unplug your phone and it should go away. IE change chargers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
Not all the time. My car had that problem and there were many other factors at fault.

Here are few things to look out for:

If your car has an amplifier in the rear, make sure that the headunit-to-amplifier audio cables are at least few feet away from power wires (aka, run them on the opposite side of the car than the power cables).

Make sure that the headunit is properly grounded. If that still doesn't help, run both headunit's + and - power wires directly to the car battery.

If problem still persists, repeat #2 but for the amp (if you have it).

If all above failed, it's time to invest in a better headunit. Your old one sucks and can't suppress the noise generated by the chassy/alternator.

I had crappy stock headunit and weaka$$ stock amp that would always make the static and constant whine problems. Ended up completely redoing the car audio system. Now, even with the headunit not grounded audio quality is PERFECT.

Here are the prices for my audio remodeling, all items bought brand new:

- Sony MEX-BT3900U. Headunit with CD, Aux, Handsfree Phone, Bluetooth A2DP audio, USB ($140)

- Hifonics ZXi80.4. Amplifier with 4 channels, 80W RMS per channel ($134)

- Alpine SPS-600 speakers. 6.5" 2-way speakers, 80W RMS ($50 ea)

- Stinger Pro 3 Series Snake. 6-channel, 20 feet RCA snake that goes from headunit to the amp in the rear ($35)

- 2x22' 8AWG battery-to-amp power wire

- 2x18' 12AWG amp-to-headunit power wire

- 4x18' 16AWG amp-to-front speaker wires

- 4x2' 16AWG amp-to-rear speaker wires

- 30A fuse in the engine bay

I ran the power cables on the left side of the car and ran the RCA snake on the right. everything was exactly $525 and I did all work myself (it's quite easy if you ask). now the sound quality in my used-to-be-audio-hell car is dam near perfect now and has absolutely no noise/static at all. you can jack the volume up crazy high without any distortions for like 80Hz+. 80Hz and below can be a problem when maxing out the volume as the speakers are only 6.5" and weren't meant to deliver bass. don't get me wrong, they do make nice bass but just don't handle it too well when playing it very loud.

after years of running this setup I'd say this was one of the best investments i've ever made. my car is built for drifting so it is setup very stiff and shakes/jumps like crazy when dailying (300mi/week) and when i do take it out for a spin the amount of stress it sees it crazy. after all this time you'd think at least some wires would come loose but nope, everything is still running perfect.

so yeah, if you actually care about sound quality in your car and would like it to last, just redo it from scratch. it's fun and is totally worth it :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
Not trying to pick a fight but lets be clear here

If your car has an amplifier in the rear, make sure that the headunit-to-amplifier audio cables are at least few feet away from power wires (aka, run them on the opposite side of the car than the power cables).

Which is a power issue

Make sure that the headunit is properly grounded.

Which is a power issue

If that still doesn't help, run both headunit's + and - power wires directly to the car battery.

Which is a power issue

If problem still persists, repeat #2 but for the amp (if you have it).

If all above failed, it's time to invest in a better headunit.

Which is a power issue

Your old one sucks and can't suppress the noise generated by the chassy/alternator.

Which is a power issue

See what I mean?

Cars make a lot of "NOISE" this noise is a power issue. it comes from your alternator and your coil and your spark plugs IE "POWER ISSUES"

if you have bad grounds or are lacking noise suppression (cheap equipment old equipment etc.. etc..) or an older car making a TON of extra noise etc.. etc..

Power inverters (especially cheap ones) are notorious for "dirty power" that lets in noise.

when I power my phone off the USB on the cheap inverter's USB port I get big time whine noises painful even.

use the USB port in the radio and I get no noise (but then it tries to "READ" the phone instead of just charging it and won't let me use aux :-) hehe

Sometimes you can get a coil thing to add to power to reduce this noise but usually its just cheap equipment ($7 power inverter :-)

plug a 110v to usb adapter into same inverter and no noise. The 110v adapter isolates and prevents the noise leakage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
haha time to clear up a misunderstanding here. my reply was referring to the "unplug your phone and it should go away" statement and thus assuming that you, by saying "its a power issue", were referring only to the inverter that was powering the phone ;) at times getting a better quality inverter (aka, one that has capacitor or capacitor-pack to smooth out the voltage spikes and noise) is sufficient and at times it is not. I've experienced both. it's also worth mentioning that after redoing my sound system even the crappiest of crap inverters works just fine :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DutchDogg54:
Yeah, I've looked into those kind of replacements...plenty out there for reasonable prices but they would completely mar the aesthetic value of the nice interior of my Bonny. That's why I was saying that only the touchscreens that would fill the whole double (might be 1.5) din stereo spot in my car would do.

Thanks, both of you guys, for your responses...guess I'm stuck waiting till I get a much newer car
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subcypher:
I'm not saying that you're wrong about it being a power issue, but the BT headset I mentioned came with an adapter for an AUX jack and that solved my problem. So, either solution works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
the issue is the radio is connected to the same "power source" that your "phone" is now connected to.

so if any component in that chain does not control the power noise (that is what the noise is coming from your power system)

you INJECT that noise into your audio stream the moment you "link" the devices together (power not audio)

this is why if you use a seperate battery pack to charge the phone you will not get this noise. your battery pack is "isolated" from the car's power system literally physically.

I am only talking about the typical whine pop crackle high pitched noise you get the moment you plug in your charger. IE clear no noise plug in chargers Head burster sounds start coming out of your speakers :-)

that noise is a "power issue" you can't eliminate the power issues (except by eliminating your alternator??) but you can filter it. some devices (chargers) do this better than others :-)

the BT unit works because you "broke" the chain. (no audio cable going from the PHONE to the RADIO)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subcypher:
Again, I'm not denying what you're saying. You're absolutely correct. However, OP was asking for the best BT unit to plug into the jack, not how to solve the issues with cables and power sources. I was simply providing my opinion and experience along the lines of what he was asking for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
i was not replying to the op was replying to the person who mentioned the high pitched whining noise. I knew what is was so offered the explanation.

I am also looking for a good BT to 3.5mm unit.

not so much for sound quality but for the ability to not need wires :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subcypher:
First, that was me and I found my solution, so we're good there. Second, now you're singing my tune, friend. I hate wires. I posted that the Samsung HM3500 is awesome and I love it. It comes with a 3.5 adapter for the AUX as well. I can also set it to be for phone media only so I can use my other BT unit for calls. I have a Samsung WEP350 for that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
THAT is what I was wondering.

So I take it to mean that you have confirmed the S2 can connect to TWO BT devices at the same time? so I can connect this for music and my solar speaker phone for calls?

is it full auto once I configure it? IE can I link up and hide it in the dash and "be done with it" so to speak?

links?

it looks like a regular headset?

where is the 3.5mm jack?

all I see is a USB jack ??

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

Hmm thats not a very good unit unless I am missing something.

looks like you need something like this to make it work

390375893249

which means it uses the same port for audio and charging so there is no way to CHARGE this as the same time as its piping audio.

Darn and I found one for $20 too. but I need to charge it too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subcypher:
I can confirm that it can connect to two at the same time as long as they have the options in the menus to be for two different things. My WEP350 can only be phone audio. If I didn't set the HM3500 to be phone media only it would conflict with the WEP350. If your things can do that it will work. I have had both BT headsets, a BT keyboard and a BT mouse hooked up all at the same time because they all do different things and don't conflict.

As far as being auto, all devices retain their settings between connects, so I would assume so. Toggling power and charging are really the only reasons I ever touch them. With this many devices, however, I have noticed that I often have to tell the phone to connect to the second, third and so on devices explicitly. It doesn't like to do so automatically. This becomes an issue when you can't rename them as two of the same device look the same in the menu. I ran into this because I actually have two HM3500s. One is for the car. The other is to listen to music with the ear buds that came with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
you can not charge and use it at the same time then?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subcypher:
You can't charge the HM3500 while it's plugged into the AUX jack, no. The adapter fits into the same place as the power cable.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I wonder if a splitter would work.... Might have to look into that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
wow thats actually really nice.

I REALLY LOVE my stereo ($35 dual usb and SD slot and aux in)

I lose the SD slot (which I really do use a lot) but I could switch to MSD in a micro usb adapter. would barely stick out of the radio.

does it have line level outputs? those are mandatory for me as I run 5.1 surround in my car. (I just matrix all the speakers but it sounds GREAT and the woofer is amazing (Logitech X540's baby) the built in speakers (geo metro) are hard core lame and there is not much room to upgrade :-)

I see RCA but are they in or out?

I just might get this.

while I hard core LOVE the simplicity of my AM/FM USB SD nothing else radio (I don't even use the radio) the one thing I HATE about it is the stinking screen is blue and crazy bright. enough that I tend to stand stuff up in front of it to block it.

the ability to night day the colors and dim might alone be enough for me to want this with the BT pushing me over the edge and compensating for losing the SD slot.

MAN that is so tempting. I was going to pop for a BD Burner but might get this instead.

and YES it does support CD and tape. Just plug either one into the AUX IN port :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] urinsane:
Not sure on the specs, check on Crutchfield; I believe it does what you need.

My old deck had USB in and I used a flash drive quite a bit too. However, with google music its just so much easier to use my phone.

Haha good point on the CD player or tape deck! If I ever need to take a trip back in time I'm covered.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LancerEVA06:
I'm a huge Audiophile, and after being spoiled with the high quality DAC in my Nexus S, I had to do something about sound quality in my car when I upgraded to the GNex. I ended up finding a Bluetooth adapter for $13 that uses a high quality DAC. I get about a 250ms lag, but sound quality is very high. As long as I don't play +1Mbps FLACs it performs well.

But for the average music listener, any Bluetooth adapter will sound fine, and probably better sound quality than the E4GT's DAC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] movielover76:
Playing music via FM sounds horrible if you got an even passable sound system.

Bluetooth is much better and direct aux is the best, plus it saves battery life.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

Were you charging the phone at the same time? because charging and using the aux port has lead to that with many phones I've owned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
This has been getting good reviews. It's new but one bad thing is it needs to be plugged into a power supply because it doesn't have a battery. Maybe one of those cell phone charger battery packs could power this. http://mobileaccessories.bestbuy.com/blackberry-music-gateway/9A172A3579.htm

Pontiac head units

You can wire in a 3.5mm port into your head unit by splicing tbe wires from the CD player inside the case. When something is plugged into the jack and your HU is on CD it will play the audiofrom the new jack. When you unplug, the CD plays as normal. I have done this to several GM units and it sounds fantastic. Parts are about $7 and it takes 30 minutes if you are good with a soldering iron!

If you're unrooted and a HULU + Member, you've discovered that you are unable to watch Hulu+ on the Note; well not so! Amazon had splashtop remote free on Friday (it's now $1.99) and I had completely forgotten about that app since I got rid of my iPad. At any rate, it pushes sounds to your device and mutes the PC speakers either over home network, or over 3G/Wifi when remote and using google authentication. I was able to launch Hulu Desktop from my iMac remotely, and play back a show with no lag and excellent A/V. If you don't have the Hulu app on your pc, you can also launch any browser and play back in full screen.

Have you done your homework on this comment (I haven't) but since buying the app I've yet to be charged a fee for printing a page (or are you saying you don't "PAY" for apps?).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecoach1999:
I would recommend Cloudprint. Works on 3 different phones and SGT 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsafety:
Since you asked politely, I will respond the same way. When I need an app for something, I will check out what is available. If there are multiple options and one is free, I will usually go that way. If I find a mission-critical app that I have to pay for, I will do it but I will seldom buy a pig in a poke. If there is not a free or trial version, I will usually pass.

The problem with the apps that you have to pay for in advance, is that when they turn out to be worthless, there is no recourse and no refunds. That is not the case with the app we are discussing. They offer a 20 page free trial. After that you have to pay based on your usage. Given that excellent free options exist, I went that direction.

Sometimes I find a free app that is so useful to me that I will send the dev a donation after giving it a try. That goes for ROMs and other enhancements that can be readily found in this forum.

Hopefully I have cleared things up for you.
