playing through car radio

[bc-agility]

I downloaded Pandora Radio and would like to play though my car radio, but when I plug in the AUX, nothing happens. My Ipod works fine though the Aux. Any suggestions?

Hate to ask, but did you adjust the volume? It happens....

If not, does your other unit work with that AUX cable?

I play pandora through my deck via the AUX cable with no issues at all. Have you checked to see if headphones work on your droid?

You need this adapter. I did not realize it till I got my MOTO rocker wired headphone. The plug is different.

what's that for? why would he need that? the droid is a standard 3.5mm plug, and he never mentioned what the input on his radio is.

Agree with JasonB. I don't think you need that. When I plug into the Aux it works fine. Sounds like you've got something else going one.

I had to get that adaptor alsofoe my Kenwood auxiliary in line for it to work. Yes Jack is 3.5 but takes a three line cable. I'm just telling what works because my standard headphones will not work till now with that adaptor. So that makes two differant things that needed it.

Do what works for you then

Either three or four conductor connector should work in the Droid. The Four Conductors are found on headsets with mics, the mic being the fourth conductor. The jack in the Droid is setup so that either connector should work.

Here's something to try...trim a little of the plastic off the face of the connector. The contacts may not be going into the Droid jack far enough to make a ground.
