music in car / talk on the phone - without having to plug or unplug wires.. - Treo Forum

mikeeliaspgh · 03-17-2007, 01:34 PM

My equipment:
Tero 650 on Cingular
Pocket Tunes
Cassette adapter

For about a year now, I have been trying to find a way to listen to my music in the car with the cassette adapter through my car speakers and take my phones calls without having to plug or unplug any wires.

I just bought the 2-IN-1 ADAPTORS by Seidio (2-IN-1 ADAPTORS (STANDARD or RETRACTABLE) - *H2ASOVTR650-SL) and it seems like it could work ok if the phone didn’t make a buzz noise through the speakers.

When just the music is playing, it seems to be fine, but when a phone call comes in, the buzzing starts. I have played around with the position of the phone and some areas in the car will give off less buzz, but the caller can still hear the buzz.

Before I posted this message, I did a search first and couldn’t’ find anything that seems to address the problem head on…

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It seems like this is such a simple thing, but in a year’s time, I really haven’t found the magic bullet yet…

Lastly, here are the things that I am trying to not have to forfeit:
-I don’t want to listen to my music via headphones in the car (plus, to my knowledge - that is illegal in some states)
-I wanted to have the mic close to my body, as opposed to using the built in mic on the Treo
-I don’t want to use a blue tooth headset (when I tried this, the volume was not loud enough for me (the only way I have been happy with the volume on my phone calls is by using volume care (which I am under the impression does not work with blue tooth)

Thanks,
Mike

All GSM phones cause interferance, sadly it's just the way it works

Ok, so I guess this is not as easy as I thought it should be.

Does anyone have a fairly cheap scenario for me where I can listen to music on my treo through my car speakers with the cassette adaptor, and take my calls, without plugging or unplugging any wires?

Please advise....

Thanks,
Mike
