That is really cool!

A friend of mine has been working on this, though it is a little bit different then what you are discussing.

This looks very interesting. Unfortunately I do not have a navigation unit and it seems it will be limited with the business radio.


The more I research the Dice media bridge, the more I see issues with them. Hopefully something pops up where I can find something similar to the dice line out/charging iphone for an android.



Thanks guys for your input!

That'd be so cool with the new Nexus 7.

Debro,

This might interest you: I have a dice media bridge that has a broken USB port on it. As far as I can tell, everything else on it still works (Aux/BT/BT Audio). I prefer the wired interface for audio quality so I went ahead and bought a new unit. So what I have now is the old (USB-broken) unit with a full set of cables (from the new unit). Charging won't work since the USB port is busted, but a cigarette lighter usb charger can be had for < $10 and then you can do the rest (steering wheel controls and bt audio) without any other cables running to your phone. (I think...I'm an iPhone guy so I don't know exactly how it would work with Android.)

I had discussed selling it to someone else here, but we can't seem to connect any more (first I wasn't checking my messages, now he doesn't seem to be).

In any event, do you have any interest in it? I was asking $100.

Thanks,

but the Dice Media bridge doesn't seem like it does what I need at the moment. I really do prefer line out and I may just stick with an iPod Touch with wifi to the android if I have to. Anyways this is all research tbh. I havent bought a new phone yet but getting ready for it so I can have some music while I drive. Right now I dont need the music with the TSE3

You men line out as opposed to using the headphone jack into an aux input?

Yes. I prefer a true line out. This way the volume control on the radio is true volume.
