car radio

Do they make something for the Droid to make it capable of playing music through your car radio like the iPod and iphone

Do you have an Aux on your stereo?
You can use a 3.5mm (I believe) and have the sound play from your speakers....

Using the aux jack is all I can think of. Although, with my head unit (which is only for use with the iPod, no CD's) has a USB cable going to the back of it, so I can also use a thumbdrive for music. So I would suspect that plugging the Droid into that can work as well.

Some have reported issues with the radio triggering the Mount dialog.....

If you have a factory radio you can PM me your make/model/year and I'll see what auxiliary input adapters are available for it.

That would cover you for FM, but thats not the way I would do it. IME it never sounds as good though.

I've used it with the 3.5 connected and it sounds good. It will even pause for phone calls and play the calls through the car speakers.. pretty slick.

If the radio is Bluetooth equipped...you can stream it to it that way. Its how i do it. Works/Sounds great

I use the Soundfly BT Ultimate Bluetooth Car FM Transmitter. It has an external microphone that I ran under the console and windshield pillar liner to attach to my visor. I now have a BT handsfree phone with the ability to play stereo music, podcasts, tv.com, etc. from my Droid. Calls automatically interupt the music. My Droid auto connects to the Soundfly when I get into the car. The Soundfly also has its own SD Card slot and a tiny IR remote control. A little pricey but it works great.

Mine play through the bluetooth as above... it's pretty slick!

No cables no nothing...

Through the USB?

Yup. You can't mount the SD card via the headphone jack.

LOL I should have figured thats what you meant in the first place.

Droid would not play through aux when I tried it with 3.5 from droid headphone to head unit 3.5 aux. Don't know why..... Ipod plays fine.
