iPhone 3G in car with handsfree calling over stereo

You can both listen to music and make phone calls through your car stereo.

All I had to do was modify a handsfree adapter by relocating the microphone closer to the driver. Music plays through the car stereo. When you make a call, the music fades out and the voice of the person on the other line plays through the car stereo as well. When the call is over, the iPhone automatically fades the music back in.

This was the first take. When I make the phone call, you can hear the stupid cell phone static (booo!!). It goes away after a few seconds, but it ruins the mood in the video! I'm going to try fixing that noise with a ferrite core tomorrow. If it works, I'll repost a 2nd video.

[deanying]

so are you!

[abamrolia]

what auxillary system r u using.

meaning, what is the interface between the microphone/wires and the car audio system. and how. have a camry 2002 , so hopefully can use same. appreciate your ideas and help

[deanying]

I had an aftermarket radio that has an auxillary input. If you have a stock camry 2002 radio, it probably won't have that option. If that's the case, you might have to get an FM transmitter or cassette adapter, but both of those options don't produce very good audio quality.

Oh for Krists sake...I'm not going to take my GD care apart because Steve Jobs had his head up his ass and couldn't give the consumer and ability to pair the phone to the stereo. Come on Apple...get yer shit together. You have blutetooth in ever damn car in america,,,,the Iphone has it......everything ought to be wireless and seamless.

Hi Dean-

Im trying to figure out a way to do this hands free idea you have in my 2007 yukon .Its does have the Aux port stock in the truck, but what is the easiest way to get this done when it comes to cables or technology im an idiot. Could I just buy a mic and a 3.5mm cord and maybe a splitter to put in my trucks aux port to make things easier? Other wise if that wouldnt work how much would you charge me to make one?

Thanks

Ramiro

I have a Camry 2004, and the default stock Camry radio actually has a CD Changer port.....so I used iSimple PDXP, and it works great....it would charge the iPhone as well as provide clear audio with no tape adapters, or aux input (Charging the iPhone was important to me, because I use my iPhone also for navigation using Navigon).

Except for nothing looking factory, good job.

[bobot420]

you used your hans alot for it being hands free......

@GazamYT It is this sort of handsfree kit that lends more attention to the road. What is worse, a call made with a handsfree kit or one where you only have one hand on the wheel. With teh iphone 3gs, you can even dial using your voice.
