Stereo Headphone Jack Adapter: 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm

[Guest MattAgent07]

Has anybody tested the GARMIN 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm jack adapter for the smartphone?

[Guest MattAgent07]

Well, its me again, but I tested it with my smartphone. Doesn't seem to work, but if anybody has any other ideas reply back.

There are numerous adaptors around from places like Maplins

or www.pc-mobile.net I have used their products on the my SPV and E100

and can recomend the build quality.

Hi, I ordered the 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo adapter from PC-Mobile and it still only plays in one headphone ear. I am playing it through windows media player. Does this matter or do I need a thirdparty mp3 player?

Sounds like you have an MPX200 as the pinouts are different you will still need the correct compatable headphones.

Silly me, my phone is a Audiovox SMT5600. I ordered it from the SPV section of PC-Mobile.net. I've tried two different headphones already and they have the same problem. Do I need a third party program like Betaplayer or PocketMVP to get this stereo output working? Last time I installed betaplayer, it messed up my mp3 associations and I was unable to play mp3 ringers so I want to avoid this.

Strange that it is not working on your Audiovox as I have a

2.5 to 3.5 adaptor from www.PC-Mobile.net and it works perfectly.

This was one I reviewed for the original SPV about a year and a half

ago.

Even though its connected to the phone I have to push it in to get full stereo sound. Unfortunately when I am walking it gets lose so I lose stereo output. Is this normal or perhaps my phone's headset connector isnt up to par?

I have the same problem at times, but it's not too serious. I'm going to order the one in awarner's post above and see how I get on with that one.

[Guest Mehka]

[Guest spyda]

Just tried www.PC-Mobile.net but their website made me feel sick so came away without finding what I was looking for!

Think I'll try Maplin.
