PDA --> Car speakers?

[Marzullo]

Is that possible to send music to my car audio speakers through an HTC TYTN?

Thanks.

Yes, I use a 1 to 3 USB convertor and then plug a phono to cassette convertor.

yes it is, i done it myself


firstly you need to make one of these
youl need a 3.5mm stereo connector, cut the earphones supplied with your tytn and attach it to the connector

once you done that you need to get a radio transmitter (£15-£30 check ebay) and plug it into your 3.5mm stereo connector

as you can see there are different ways of doing it. You could also use a bluetooth enabled car radio (very cool) :)

i beleive my ways the cheapest, you can plug in better earphones into the tytn and get better sound aswell

i used to use one of those but stop'd when i got a car stereo which had SDcard input and usb input
was about 75$ so no biggi

my alpine stereo plays mp3 but playing tunes and even running tomtom thru the car speakers is great

have a look part way down this list of Artemis based goodies http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=48131&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=51 there is an 11 pin mini USB to 3,5MM socket available as an accessory for the HTC devices, much easier than chopping up your headphones for a direct link try http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=6982

While looking for the above link I came accross this though http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=9736 Which looks even more suited to do what you need, having looked again at this last item I cannot believe what you get for less than a tenner, USB audio cable, USB charger cable and an FM transmitter, the whole lot can be used at once so you can charge the PDA and liten to music via FM - great - Mike

Xdaman85 - I've chopped the heads of a set of headphones for an orbit, can you tell me wire goes where in the stereo socket? I know I could buy an adapter but doing it myself is much more fun.

Thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284512 contains a wiring diagram of the 11 pin mini USB connector, that might be of some use when doing this - Mike

[cuboosh]

nope this has nothing to do with it.. because once u chop the wire from the headset the heatset only has 1 wire

[epmulligan]

Actually it does, because when I strip it back it contains all these wires. What I need to know is what is to be connected up in the stereo line socket and where!!
