I have an audio cable hooked into my sound system (its great how thats a common feature to have an aux outlet on most newer cars) so whenever I drive I use my phone for music. What does everyone else do?
Do you use your phone as your music player in your car?
This is a public poll: others will see what you voted for.
Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. Cynicism is the intellectual cripple's substitute for intelligence.
What is a becoming a common feature in newer cars, my 2012 GMC Terrain being one of them is music through USB, and native iPod/Phone/Pad sync, if I plug my iPhone in to charge my dumb car will search for music even though there is none there EVERY TIME and there is no way to stop it... just another thing to dislike about the Apple mentality and Apple integration

Totally agree. My car won't recognize my old iPhone using the USB so I can't charge it. I'm sure its some proprietary thing.
I use my PB sometimes too but its usually on longer trips.
Yes I do. My mustangs have MS sync over bluetooth. I wish my F250 had sync. I'm currently working on fixing a way to use my PB for a head in my truck. That will be sweet.
@Belfastdispatcher Is it legal to use headphones on that side of the pond? It isn't over here, it is considered distracted driving.

Yes, it is legal as far as I know and judging by how many times I was in traffic beside a police car and never ever said anything to me, I'm pretty sure there's no law against it.
What is illegal here is to hold a phone in your hand while driving or even at the road side but with the engine running. If it's in a cradle you can use away.
Nope. I usually listen to the radio in my car even though I have ford sync. I also don't want to listen to the same thing I listen to when I don't have a radio or I don't want to stream from the net.
With Sirius and memory card slots in my NAV unit there is no reason for another source. I did have a music gateway installed in a different car for bluetooth streaming. A good option for those with a 3.5mm jack but not bluetooth.
No, my aftermarket head unit has USB, BT and an aux port. BT is terrible for quality so I use a USB stick with wav files or my DAP with Flac files through the aux. I prefer lossless recordings and since the BB/PB doesn't support Flac, and wav files use too much memory, I have no music on my BB and very little on my PB.
I voted no, since I only drive 3 miles to work.. But I do listen to music on my PB while I work (lets me concentrate on what I'm doing and cuts out the office chatter)
