Hallo all, i've just finished my car kit and all works fine except the microphne, i've used 2/3 type of them but no voice at the calling phone.
i've used a standard skype mic ( i use it connected to my audio device) and also a mic desoldered from a headphone kit but nothing.
Has anyone any ideas on how i can connect the microphone (and wich type i've to chose or buy) ?
sorry for my bad english

Hi all!
I have TomTom7 installed which is working fine (almost).
When I place my Diamond in the car holder (three way output w. USB-Charge/USB-Headphones/3,5mm Headphone) all sounds from my phone are muted (believed to be connected to a headphone I guess).
I could connect the phone to the car audio system via a 3,5 mm audio plug, but then I cannot listen to the radio at the same time as navigating with TomTom.
Is there any known way to solve this so the TomTom7 directions and warnings are always routed through the Diamond internal speaker?

i have this carholder too, it's from brodit right? It's true, the moment you plug in the diamond it thinks it's connected to a headset, so no sound from internal speaker. Ideal for listening to music when connected to your car stereo ofcourse, but when receiving a call you have to take out the diamond, because the sound goes through the car speakers (if the output is connected to your car stereo ofcourse) but you can't talk back because diamonds mic is also muted! I hope there is a way to solve this. Maybe a little program that allows you to direct sound and mic settings?
It's also a similar problem with the little USB to 3.5mm audio adapters, they make the diamond think there is a mic plugged in when there isn't and when someone calls you while you're listening to music, they cant hear you unless you unplug the headphones.
I've also noticed that when the diamond is in my car and connected to my bluetooth kit, the calls come via bluetooth but TomTom does not, this particularly annoys me, as when I'm listening to loud music I miss the speed camera alerts and also obviously cant hear the voice directions.
There seem to be some fairly serious shortcomings in this area. A simple set of options that let the user choose what he/she likes would be best.
Yepp Glenner, it is a Brodit car holder!
A program to solve this as you mention would be great!
Anyone got the skills to solve this?
Yesterday driving home from my work I noticed that the ring tone on an incoming call was heard even when the phone was placed in the holder...
So there must be a way to have the sound re-directed to the internal speaker???
Solved!
Try this little program http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-btmusic.html It sends audio from you diamond to either BT headphone or speaker. Just tried it and seems to work fine, but does need .netCF 2.
Best of luck!
Hi, this BT music doesn't seem to work with my car kit... My car kit supports HFP profile (Handsfree profile)...
What did you do exactly to make it work?

if you rename btmusic.exe.config (not btmusic.exe!!) you can run it too with .NET CF 3.5
Trick i learned from the developer of BTMusic.

Rename to what?
I figured it out. Renaming btmusic.exe.config to btmusic.exe.configx does it.
Hi All,
I'm wanting to use my Diamond in the car to replace both my old iPod and sat-nav, while still having phone functions available. There are a few things I'm not happy with, so I thought I see what other people are doing.
I have a car head unit with a direct 3.5mm line-in, which used to have the iPod on the end. The Diamond works fine plugged into this through an ebay 3.5mm\USB adaptor.
If I plug the 12v>USB charger in, I get a whine over the audio - not a big problem, it's just a ground-loop, so I'll stick an isolating transformer in-line.
The main problem I have is switching between the internal speaker and the external output. If I want to have the radio on, rather than MP3, I have to unplug the adaptor, and plug the charging cable in direct, so that I can keep the battery charged - not ideal. This way I can hear the TomTom voices through the internal speaker, but it seems wrong to have to swap leads this way.
The other main problem is if I have MP3 and TomTom all through the stereo, and I get a call, I can hear the call over the stereo, but can't speak, as the Diamond is expecting an external microphone.
I guess what I need is a utility to force only the internal microphone to be used, and to allow me to force the internal speaker when I want to use the radio. It there such a thing?
I think one of these car holders has an option to plug in charger and usb-3.5mm jack adapter at the same time....

If i had the skills i'd try to figure out a hack to pause/mute the mp3 and mute satnav when in a call... but I don't.
That's not the problem - I can plug in the charger and 3.5mm audio at the some time, but that redirects all the audio to the car stereo, and disconnects the mic. Removing the adaptor and plugging in just the charger enables the microphone, but all my MP3s then are played through the internal speaker.
What I need is a utility to force the internal microphone to be used _all_ the time, and let me choose when to use the internal speaker when a headset is detected.
I don't suppose anyone knows how the Diamond recognises a headset? Is there a resistor link across a couple of the pins in the 11pin connnector? I'm just thinking I could make up a cable with a switch to break that contact, and 'virtually' disconnect the headset when I want the radio, or need the microphone active during a call.
You could try this program. It seems to be a virtual switch between the earpiece and external speaker. I use it a a solution for skype and other voip programs that only work through the external speaker, but the works the other way as well.
headset instaled but need phone mic allways enable

I have the same issue of kaisee.
I use the diamond as mp3 player in my car stereo (aux-in) and i need the mic allways available to use the phone without disconect the usb or audio plug.
In my old magician this worked just fine becouse the mic was allways available.
Is the .exe posted by dctech the answer(thanks man) ? has anybody tested ? is it reliable or there is another solution?
Thanks
You need a proper bluetooth car kit to allow this. Parrot ones are very good. If you want to listen to music as well as phone calls and sat nav i would suggest that you get one with both handset and A2DP bluetooth profiles. There is a workaround app you can use to get music through a car kit with just a handset or headset profile but the quality is mono and very poor
hi all !!!
i connected my mda IV to sony car audio using adapter cable (3,5 mm jack) sound is great (music,films ,navi) but when i try to make a call nobody can hear me because cable is connected and internal mic is switched off !!!
Do you know the way how to force internal mic working while cable is connected? ( i know i can buy bluetooth car radio but i am curious if it is possible to turn on that mic) THX
I'm looking for the same solution on my diamond. Anyone has a solution?
I don't know the solution, but there is a workaround.
If you download bluepower, this will activate bluetooth when your phone is charging. Then you can use a bluetooth headset to make and receive calls. This seems to take priority over the connection with the in car audio.....
Hope this helps.
i bought android head unit without optional to external microphone and the built-in microphone really weak, but i have couple USB ports, so is any way you know if possible to connect USB microphone? or by the way to use my mobile microphone in bluetooth calls?
thanks!
My Erisin3015 got an separate input slot for an external micro.
I think this depends on the unit and we don´t know yours
i know i saw alot with input for jack 3mm but in my i didnt see any, there is built-in microphone but very weak. i just want to know if possible to connect usb microphone and use it with calls
Problem with AUX (front/rear) Hikity 2 Din Auto Radio 7 "HD Android 8.1 2G + 2G 7018B
Hello everybody,
for me there is the problem that I get no sound through the front and rear AUX connection.
In the front I connected a Galaxy S3 (to test) with a jack-to-jack plug, at the back chinch to jack via AUX IN L / R. Unfortunately I can't find any way to listen to music.
Have I overlooked a setting or do I have to activate something somewhere?
ps: how can I attach pictures here?

So these things are temperamental. Did you read on the blue amp wire and no sound from this or that. I got one of these on amazon. And however o got it hooked up it's working.
Did you open the Avin app? I know you gotta do avin app for inputs.
As well if it's a phone why not use bluetooth?
Hi, I have sound through the normal speaker outputs. No external amplifier is connected, so I don't need the blue cable. I can listen to music via USB, bluetooth or WiFi.
I used the Galaxy S3 as an audio source to test the AUX input. I also used an Alexa via jack for testing.
Only with that I get no sound input, neither via the front 3.5mm jack input (is that actually an input ??) nor via the rear AUX IN L / R chinch connection.
The question is: do I have to activate something, do I use the wrong input devices, do I have the wrong idea or did I just overlook something?
