Thanks very much "xmr405o" for your reply.

This looks very interesting ... but ...

Since i do not want do deal with its charging .

And i dont see how i can charge this device while driving .

Also , i do dont like to attach this device on the cars sun visor .

An ideal instrument for me would be something like this but with a usb power plug intead of a car power plug

1.0" LCD A2DP Bluetooth MP3 Player FM Transmitter with Caller ID Handsfree (SD/MMC/USB/2.5mm) - Worldwide Free Shipping - DX

caller id is not necessary , nor sd or mmc .

And i dont want a speaker on it . And i would not want it to be with

a battery .

Its purpuse is to receive audio from the phone via bluetooth and transmit it

to the car fm radio.

I keep mine charge via USB because I have a USB to mini USB cord. I keep it plugged to my usb port on my head unit but the charge on that thing lasts for a few days so technically I don't need to keep it plugged in.

However I did find this one. It has a car charger but based on the specs and pics you can
also use a USB cord to power it.

Proximus P16-41418 Bluetooth® FM Transmitter - USB Charging Port, 3.5mm Audio Input and Output, Intergrated Microphone

I'm not sure of the sound quality of course.

Again , thanks for your reply .

I guess i didnt explain my arrangement in details enough .

This is my power plug :

Buy.com - Innergie mMini DC10 10W Dual 2.1 Amp USB Auto Adapter for iPad 1 and 2, iPod, iPhone, Tablet PC's, Smart Phones and other Mobile Devices

So, i have 2 usb power jacks .

Regularly i charge my phone in it and the passenger beside me also charge his phone in it .

When i need to navigate . The passenger takes out its phone from the

charger and then i am supposed to insert my bluetooth fm transmitter which

has a usb power plug .

It is true i could have bought these two :

12 V VOLT CAR CIGARETTE LIGHTER POWER SOCKET ADAPTER 2 PLUG DUAL Y SPLITTER | eBay

and charge my phone with a suitable charger cable like this one ( and so the passenger) :

NEW OEM USB RAPID PREMIUM PHONE POWER CAR CHARGER for HTC Rezound Vivid Amaze 4G | eBay


But this arrangement is too bulky ... all these car power plugs .... wont fit in

any car !

So i switched to a usb car power splitter .

This same cable that comes out from this splitter connects to a house ac

wall home charger .... so i carry one cable less. so this cable is being used

on 2 chargers ... and also to transfer data from the phone to the computer.

So i cant go back to car power plugs .

I will just wait for the bluetooth fm transmitter which has a usb power plug
...... to be manufactured.

It will happen.

micro usb cable :

MICRO USB 2.0 DATA CABLE BLACKBERRY 8900 8520 9700 9780 9530 9550 8220 9630 8530 | eBay

AC Wall Home Charger :

5V 1A USB AC Wall Home Charger + 6ft 2M Micro USB cable for Dell phone Venue Pro | eBay


Your first proposal was closer to my wish .

You won't need two car plugs with my second suggestion. I know the picture looks like it only uses a car lighter charger but the pictures and description indicate it has the option for USB power that would go with your USB split power source. At le as t that's how a read it.

The usb socket is for charging another device ... not for charging the bluetooth fm transmitter.

In that case i loose one more power usb socket .

Dang it, every time I log onto this forum it costs me money

"Cellit" ... i am looking for different power plug to power this device . please read

Hey "xmr405o"...

About the Motorola t-505 .

Why does it need its own speaker if it can transmit the sound to the car radio ?

xmr405o

You take it around with you since it has a rechargeable battery built in. It makes a great speakerphone for the office or if you want to use it as a portable speaker for music.

xmr405o

I gotcha! I thought it was for the transmitter. Lol.

abcandroid

"xmr405o" ,

Is there any way to mount the Motorola t-505 on another thing , and not on the sun visor ?

xmr405o

I have mine in a little compartment under my radio. You can put it anywhere you want but if you plan to use the mic then of course its best to mount it on the visor.

You might be interested in this one too. It's a flatter version of the t505.

good news, I've founded one just for you,check out here :$21.61 $22.13 - TinyDeal - Car FM Transmitter with Microphone RFM-49443-AU

abcandroid

"Jhonjake" ... You suggestion lacks of bluetooth. But if we ignore that and accept the physical audio cable .... There is a problem : it doesnt have that correct charging cable. itd end is suppose to be a usb plug and not a car power plug . Also , there is no possibility to put/attach the small device anywhere, because the phone is attached to the windshield . (it would swing around and bump)

If we go in this direction .. i have a better option : can anyone confirm that the audio plug is the same as the galaxy s 2 i1900 ?

Awww...

There's also the Motorola roadster. It's the newer version, I guess.

abcandroid

Yes, "xmr405o" , i saw all the versions of the motorola , there are 3-4 versions of it .
I have decided not to buy it . One device with a battery is enough : the smartphone.

I am looking at my last option

Mini Rechargeable FM Transmitter w/ 3.5mm Plug for iPhone 4 - Black - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

How is the quality of this device ?


I have one bad experience with weird looking devices from deal extream . i bought a small device that can record audio from a phone call ... when i connected it to the pc ... i said bye bye to half my pc audio card . after opening this device i saw that the soldering has been made by a 2 years old .

xmr405o

I honestly couldn't tell you about the quality of that device. It's probably equivalent to the Jupiter jack. It looks similar to me. I wouldn't expect too much.

Also, I wouldn't worry too much about charging the t505 or the roadster since you have a USB splitter. I travel about 2 and a half hours round trip everyday. I use my t505's fm transmitter a lot on the weekends too and I charge it once a week. And since you have a USB splitter for charging, you probably would never need to take it out of your car to charge it unlike me. Having an internal battery isn't always a bad thing. It actually a good thing for you because your phone and your buddy's phone will probably need more time on the USB splitter than the t505 or the roadster. I forgot to tell you, I use my t505 as an external speaker too so that affects my battery life. I bet if I didn't use the speakers, I wouldn't need to charge it every week.

"xmr405o" its a good thing you mentioned the "jupiter jack" beacuse i dont live in the US.
I am not familiar with it .
Do you know if it has a microphone ? . It seems that in some cases its presented with jacks for other phones but in some cases i dont see the jacks in its package ...?

abcandroid

I didnt notice it has a battery ...
