Using FM transmitter to stream Spotify in the car

[Khanjin]

Hello!

I wasn't sure where to post this, but the computer forum must be filled with techy people so I figured I'd try here. If you want it anywhere else please feel free to move it.

So I have a problem. I have an FM transmitter in my car, where I can connect USB devices to play music in the car speakers through the radio. What I want to do is hook up my Galaxy S III to this transmitter and play Spotify. I've read up a bit on the issue and it seems that if I want to play Spotify I have to directly connect my earphone jack in the phone to the transmitter.

Now, I've searched and haven't found any adapters that goes from the S III earphone jack to the USB. An additional problem is that the jack is not the typical 3,5 mm jack (the 3,5 mm Samsung earphones plug is 2 millimeter or so longer than the typical 3,5 mm plug from other earphones, to make people buy the official stuff).

I've looked at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA0PG07K3635 which looks amazing for the purpose, except that I'm sure that 3,5 mm plug won't work with my S III.

Now, I'm wondering what I can do. Have any of you overcome this problem? Any suggestions are very welcome.

I'm dumb. Spoke to a friend and he said I'd bypass all the brainache by getting a bluetooth-compatible FM transmitter. Doh.

Found one for about $35. Happy camper over here.

Just so you know, the standard 3,5mm would have worked perfectly. Own the same phone and hook it up to the car via the headphone jack.

The extra ring on the jack connected to the earphones you got with your phone is for the microphone signal, but any 3.5mm jack would work for audio only.

Your first post was a 6-year-old necro to a thread that was resolved no less. You're going to do well here, no joke.

I literally stuck this into my Uncle's 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee cause he wanted a "TV". I literally have these in all my cars. Put your phone's wifi tethering on and enjoy.
