Has anyone plugged their MP3 Phone into the standard AUX input?? I'm thinking about getting the chocolate phone and the audio cable that goes from the phone to a 3.5 plug. I know if you're listening to the MP3 player, it will alert you when you get a call but i'm not sure if it'll do the same thru the car plug. Does anyone use a similar set up?

 

I dont have an mp3 phone but you should hear your music and call alerts through the AUX just as you would with normal head phones. I some times plug my normal mp3 player into the aux and I can still hear the low battery alert. just think of the aux port as having realy big headphones.

 

I use to have my sony ericson w900i connected to the aux in my TC it worked great aside from the fact that I had to turn up the volume up a little louder on the stereo. When ever my phone rang the mp3 player would stop and the phone would ring normally then I would answer the phone via speakerphone then when I would hang up the music would start playing again. Made for a great wow factor to guests in my car!

 

Ya I have a chocolate and the music just shuts off and the phone rings normally.

 

woo hoo, thanks guys. Now i gotta figure out how long i left on my contract so i can switch to verizon.

 

Verizon sucks ***** IMO.... I had them and they were charging minutes to my phone for phone calls to my phone.... didn't make any sense... it wasn't voicemail becuase it showed as *86.... wasn't data transfer... I tried to dispute it over and over and finally just chopped the contract with them for $300

 

You'll need the $14 stereo adapter from the Verizon store that converts 2.5mm (chocolate and most mp3 phones) to the standard 3.5mm aux jack. It has a send/end button with a mic on it too. I run my Motorola Q through the adapter into my aux-in (Sirius Sportster 4) and it sounds pretty decent.

 

my chocolate works perfect in my car and i have never had aproblem with verizone and u can go to your local walmart or radio shack and get an adapter piece for the head phone jack and its only like 1.00 instead of 14.00

 

*86 is default Verizon voicemail speed dial.

You can program in a code to use free night/weekend minutes to retrieve your voicemail anytime.

Sry, OT.
