Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I need a bluetooth stereo A2DP to mini plug adaptor for my "AUX" jack.

I need an adaptor that I can plug into the aux jack in my 2008.5 nissan titan to stream stereo music thru my speakers. Does such a thing exist or did I just invent it?

I have found some adaptors that plug into your phone's headphone jack, but I don't think they will receive music, only transmit.

Any thoughts?

Your "many" = 5 posters who couldn't distinguish between using a 4 contact plug for a headset (with a mic) and a 3 contact headphone/aux cable. It's possible for some 3 contact plugs to have non-standard dimensions and cause unwanted activation of the mic circuit, it doesn't happen with a properly designed cable. There is no way to know what cables most of these posters used or whether any of them were defective.

Since I *+have used+* standard 3 contact mini plug cable connection of a 3GS to an aux input (tried 2 cables so far), without any of these problems, and +*you have yet to even try it+*, it is you who are making assumptions, while I am reporting actual experience using the correct equiptment.

reports suggest that pluging a stereo cable into the 3G S causes the voice control to activate, but because there is a cable in the head phone jack the phone expects to see the headphone mic. This keeps the iphone's built in mic from "listening". So you have a phone waiting for a voice command, but with no way to receive it.

It turns out that it disables the built-in mic only when a headset with mic (four-contact plug) is plugged in. Normal stereo headphones with a three-contact plug (or a mini-stereo plug cable) will not disable the internal mic.

Quick update on the Dynex cable. This morning it exhibited the same behavior as my other 3.5mm cable. I tried a bunch of different things and think the issue is that when the other end of the aux cable is plugged into my car's AUX port AND the car is powered on, I get the auto voice control/no mic situation. If I plug it into the iPhone before I put my key in the car (have a BMW, which when I put the key fob in, it powers on the radio), then it doesn't do anything and works how I want it to. I'll keep trying that to see if that's the solution. Either way, I'm not convinced it's a cable issue so much as having an active speaker connection on the other side. I noticed the same thing happened when I plugged a pair of Bose speakers at the Apple store into a 3Gs.

I am feeling your pain. My iPhone is sitting in a cradle mounted on my dash, the AUX plug in my console, which creates a tightwire cable when I want to listen to the iPhone. Can't find a solution - have you? I tried reading throught the responses, but after reading so many flaming posts I gave up. Looking up BT receivers gives me everything I don't want including headsets.
