Most of us enjoy music while we’re driving,but radio doesn’t always play the right tunes.At sometime the obvious choice would have been a CD,but of course you can play your selected music on Android by connecting with car audio.As long as you have a safe place to send a signal to your car audio system,you can use an Android phone as your mobile audio entertainment system while in transit.
There are a few different ways to approach connecting an Android device to your car stereo.The one you choose to use depends on the features your car stereo has.Three options are possible which will allow you to playback music stored on or streamed via your Android phone to the car audio system.
1.USB Cable
If your car has an USB cable, it is likely that the stereo will play music through it. You can usually store music on your Android phone, or other USB device like a flash drive. Simply copy music files to your Android, then connect it using the USB cable provided with your device, and your stereo should have a mode you can place it in that plays the music files from the device.
This method usually does not work if your music is streamed via the Internet. The files usually must be physically stored on the Android. It likely also won’t usually work for phone calls.
2.Bluetooth
If your car stereo supports a Bluetooth connection,you can simply enable Bluetooth on your Android under “Settings” > “Network Connections“. Then make your Android “discoverable” or “visible”. Set your car stereo to find the device, then you should be prompted to enter a PIN. Once connected, you can enjoy playing all of your music or making phone calls wirelessly.
3.FM Transmitter
If you don’t have one of the above options, you’ll need to pony up a bit more cash for an FM Transmitter. An FM Transmitter will broadcast audio from your Android over FM frequencies, allowing you to listen through a selected radio station on your car stereo. Prices for such devices can range from $15 to $100. From experience I can say that an FM Transmitter is not a thing you want to cheap out on. Going mid-range is a best bet. I personally invested in the Belkin TuneCast and am very happy with it. This particular transmitter charges my Android as well.
The problem with this is that if your car has a digital sound system you’re not getting the best use out of it by relying on the analogue solutions.What do you think?Have you come across any better options?
