I already have an iSimple hooked up and have enjoyed using it for 2 years, but I have a new galaxy s3 that I would like to play music from. Is it possible to hook up an android device to the car stereo? Thank you

you would need another device.
a device that has an aux cable coming out of it.

I use the P.I.E. X3

Have any of you used this? It seems like it may work and has decent reviews

I just bought this DockBoss+ which is supposed to be an adapter from the Apple 30 pin to my galaxy s3 micro usb

Let us know if it works, I have been thinking about dropping the Ipod connector since I have android based equipment now.

Looks pricy at first but when add up all the parts you would need to do it with other adapters, cables and power adapters it really isn't that bad.

The real question will be how well it can charge your S3. If you are streaming music and using and a nav program (Google Nav or Waze) it's going to take some juice to keep your phone from still using battery. The key will be to see if your S3 goes into AC charge mode (rather than USB).

The other thing to remember is that (if the S3 is like my Samsung Charge) the Bluetooth HFL will not work properly if you have a cable plugged into the phone's headphone jack. You will hear it ring through the car but you will not be able to hear the caller through the car since the phone is sending it out the headphone jack but the car's HFL circuit has switched off that input to take the call. So, if I am streaming music from the car to the phone I just use the phone's speaker phone. Alternately you can use HFL but you need to unplug the headphone wire from the phone to take a call (pain).


I've got a Blitzsafe ipod adapter in my 05. Here are the details on what I did in this post. DockBoss+ wasn't around when I did it or I probably would have tried it.

I know many of you hate the idea of using a cassette adapter, but I use it with my Galaxy SIII and it works just fine. It's only a matter of balancing the volume controls on the SIII and the car stereo for the best sound quality.

cant you just plug the 3.5mm jack into the phone and switch to aux2 on the isimple?
