Using Car Stereo as a Speaker Phone

dumb question, but what do you need to connect the inspire to the aux input on the car stereo?  which jack does it plug into on the inspire?

make sure its a 3.5 mm

Are you able to talk back to them?  I was thinking of getting a bluetooth type stereo but if that works I'm all over it.

I used to do this too with my iPhone and have done it with my Inspire as well.

First you obviously need a radio with an AUX in jack. You also need a 3.5 to 3.5 cable to plug the phone into the radio.

Then it will basically use your speakers in your car as your phone output. Unfortunately, the car does not magically generate a microphone so you still need to talk into the phone, you just don't need to hold it up to your face.


Although, the echo depends on how loud you have your speakers. Obviously if they are loud enough that the sound can travel back to the phone's mic then they will get some feedback.

Thats interesting...never thought of trying that! How is the sound quality of Pandora when connected that way? How might you compare it to FM an/or Satellite quality?

I don't have an aux input on my stereo, but could I use a casette adapter instead?  I'd love to be able to use my car speakers.

What I do is have aux out from headphones jack into aux  in on stereo then have jawbone icon paired via Bluetooth when calls come in pauses pandora(music)  then I talk crystal clear through Bluetooth and no feedback it was best solution other then buying 800$ stereo  call ends music resumes on stereo flawless !!
