3 in 1 Adapter or Micro USB to ExtUSB Adapter

---

Hello everyone,

Very happy with my EVO 4G and was looking for an adapter that will allow me to hook up a 3.5mm and charging cables in the car. I know I can do that by just plugging the audio cable on top and the charging cable in the bottom but I am looking for a more clean solution that will allow me to plug both cables at the bottom.

I have the 3 in 1 Adapter pictured below from my previous HTC windows phone but the end that connects to the phone is ExtUSB. If you guys know an adapter that goes from Micro USB to ExtUSB that will help as well. I am assuming that this would allow me to use the current adapter I have.

Thank you in advance for your help!!

I am looking for the same thing. I had an adapter for my Hero that would plug into the bottom USB and had power and headphone out on it.

I am trying to find something similiar for the Evo.

It would be interesting to see if the newer 3.5mm phones are even ready for this function, as there is typically a second set of pins dedicated to this function

Doing some additional research and found this adapter for sale:

Don't know if it will work with the EVO.

The Touch Pro was the phone I used to have (on AT&T called the Fuze)...And it used ExtUSB. So no, this adapter won't work as it's doing the same thing the one the OP showed is doing.

Frankly I think it's funny that you guys want a single cable when for years the average joe has been pushing the manufacturers to have standard 3.5mm cables. I don't think that these phones have the capability to push their audio over the standard microUSB connector (ExtUSB is 11 pins, 5 of which are custom for HTC dedicated to audio).

I want both, I want the single cable because it's easier (and safer, less risk of breaking the phone) to have one cable plugged in for everything in the car instead of having to plug/unplug something to the and bottom every time you get in/out of the car. I had one on my vogue(because it had no 3.5mm jack) and it was very nice to just be able to flick it out with my thumbnail when i went to get out.

The one for my vogue had 4 ports, data usb, htc usb headset, 3.5mm, 2,5mm. I would try it in my vogue but it's got a funky squareish mini usb plug on it so my converter doesn't work.

I've been looking for the same thing as the threadstarter!

I have a really clean set up in my car with a clean wired-in dash mount and a single extUSB cable with a nice right-angle keeping the cable tucked away and nearly out if site. It charges my phone plays audio through an extra input on my stereo deck (AUX input on rear of deck).

I was pretty frustrated that HTC moved to Micro USB over extUSB since it breaks what has been working for my since i've had the HTC Touch and Hero. Now I have to go and change everything.

If a Micro USB audio/charger adapter EVER COMES OUT I'll connect it and pair it with this to keep my single cable setup working awesomely:

Does anybody know if the Micro USB implementation on the EVO has audio wired in to it? I think the Nexus one's does.

Has anyone been able to confirm or deny whether you can get audio out of the micro USB port? What I really want probably isn't possible, but I want to be able to plug a regular micro USB cable from my phone to a USB port that will be flush mounted on my console, and under the console would be an adapter to split audio and power. I do appreciate the audio jack on the top, but it would make for a much cleaner install in the car if you could run a single cable. If no one has even tried it yet, I may buy the cables and adapters and see what happens. They're not that expensive..

Speaking of clean installs in the car.. if you haven't heard of them, check out kuda mounts. I just ordered one, and as soon as I get it installed, I'll post some pics. They're kind of expensive, but if you don't like the mounts with a suction cup on the windshield, or the ones that clip onto the A/C vents, the kuda mounts really are the best option..assuming they make one for your car.

I just ordered a mini usb version from deal extreme, I'll tear it down and wire it into micro usb and see what I can get out of the EVO (probably be a week or so before I get my hardware)

I found micro usb head sets on ebay that say they work on Evo, so that's good enough for me. I'm wondering if I could plug a regular data cable into this: http://www.meritline.com/female-mini...--p-30323.aspx (if I can find a place that has them in stock) and then plug my old touch pro adapter into that. I'm not too optimistic about it working, but it would be cool if it did.
