AppRadio 2 or Nexus 7 for car audio center?
I was set on the Nexus 7 until I searched this forum and found some folks recommending micro PC's instead because the Nexus 7 wasn't the best for audio quality?
I just need Pandora and GPS and MP3 type capabilites. And
Movie watching.

Nexus 7 poor audio quality can be remedied by using a USB DAC (digital to analog converter), which takes a digital audio signal and converts to analog which would be supplied to your amplifier(s). This requires a kernal with USB audio-output capability (like faux123 kernel, Poitee kernel, etc). The biggest downside to this is that your built-in microphones will not work, and even if you get a DAC with audio-input capability the Nexus 7 can't work with USB audio input.

If you want quality audio, the Nexus 7 is going to fight you a bit. With low bit rate mp3's or Pandora, it should be fine. The only reason I use micro PC is because I molded a 7" LCD into my dash several years ago. This gives me everything I could ask for....lots of storage, clear audio and video. It also added about $700 bucks...micro ITX mb, case, DC to DC PS, SSD drive....etc.

HDMI or something on the nexus one?

Hi,
I want to know if there is a way that I can see my nexus one on the TV. Or if not that, atleast show videos like from YouTube. I can only play audio.
Please help me. My TV has no USB port, but I have a USB thingy connected to my TV through HDMI.

Remote control your Nexus from your PC, and connect your PC to the TV.
But then why would you need Nexus...
I'm afraid it's not possible... the only thing you could do is this.
afaik, the only device through which you can do something like that is desire HD, since it features a mini-HDMI port.
You can't connect it the conventional way, since there's no HDMI port...but you could try through the USB cables
Btw, the Desire HD does not have a HDMI port, but the Evo 4G does.

There is no way to do HDMI mirroring without HDMI support built into the phones hardware, and unfortunately, the N1 lacks any ability to output video to anywhere other than the display on the phone.
What behelit was talking about is using a DLNA server on your device, which will allow you to have your music, videos, and pictures available for people to view over your local network with any DLNA compatible device. All while being wireless. Many newer Samsung and Sony TVs support this, along with a lot of their BluRay players (including other manufacturers) along with the PS3 and the XBox 360. Essentially it works like a dvd player where you will have menus and can pause and rewind and all that fun stuff.
I believe the usb host thread has examples of people using an external monitor, but I don't think the usb output is HDMI...
The USB host thread has people using external USB2HDMI adapter, which gets the output sent for it by the device driver in the OS.
No way to do anything like it without modifying the OS to have USB host capability to begin with. Or building a special external USB host and drivers.

You could try and find a N1 Desktop Dock on eBay and use the mini-HDMI adaptor on that.

YT: Nexus 7 connects to DVD drive without rooting

Simply fantastic. Has anyone tried a Blu-Ray drive?
Awesome.

You are aware that is a network device.. Its not a standard dvd player.. It connects because of the hardware inside .Not because the nexus supports it.. The nexus just sees it as a removable storage
If you can get a 20.00 samsung slim sd drive to connect let us all know It could maybe be useful. But its still larger then the nexus itself.. hummmmm

Multiple Bluetooth Connections

I'm sorry if this has been posted before, i looked around and couldn't find anything.....
I have a bluetooth keyboard for my nexus 7 (the amazonbasics keyboard, which i have fallen in love with) and was considering getting a pair of bluetooth headphones for when i'm in the library. However i want to be able to listen to music and use my keyboard simultaneously (meaning two bluetooth connections). Is this possible? Am i trying to squeeze too much out of this device? =P
Thanks for any assistance you can give me!
It can. I think. .I had it paired to 2 different bluetooth devices b4 and had no problem. I was streaming music to a bt receiver and connected to an obd2 thinga majig. Worked fine.

[REQUEST] Dual/Multi A2DP out

I realize this sounds silly but is it at all possible to use 2 a2dp headphones/devices simultaneously? I would assume the bt spec supports it though couldn't get my N4 on PAC ROM to output to both simultaneously.
The practical use case is me on my motorcycle with a passenger. Yes we could each use our own phone but I tend to"ride to the music"so it would be pretty nice to share the entire experience (including the song and position of the music I'm playing) with my passenger. Thanks!

Sounds interesting

I'm also really interested in this, however it would likely involve rewriting part of the Bluetooth subsystem (is it still bluez?) to make it happen, plus all the testing and debugging...

... that come with a 3.5" audio plug and have an integrated amp or something, e.g. pc-speakers.
