can you use the "aux out" jack and the bem mobile speaker at the same time? EDIT:Thanks for your replies. I have some externally powered speakers in my gazebo that I was already using with a belkin bluetooth adapter for. It would have been great if I could have hung them off of this instead. Not a problem for me as I didn't even know this had an "aux out" when I bought it. Sure would be nice though... can you use the "aux out" jack and the bem mobile speaker at the same time?

When you connect to the aux out the speaker on the bem becomes inactive and all sound is directed to the new speaker that you have connected to.

I did not have success in a situation where I wanted to plug headphones into the speaker as the output. The volume just wasn't there when I plugged the head phones in. Other than that I haven't used the aux out jack. If this does not answer your question and you want to suggest and experiment to me, I can probably try something out for you.

Shaun, I haven't tried it and don't have anything that i know of to connect it to. What would it connect to?
1167558
Sorry Shawn I have never tried that. All I can say though that this is a good accessory and works well with all the bluetooth products that have hooked up with it.

Hi C.L. Let me ask you: how do you intend to play music while it's charging? Without an AUX port there is no way to physically connect the phone to the cars speakers. You can certainly use Bluetooth while charging, or play music via the phone speakers, but the audio input pictured here is for connecting via Aux port. This 2-in-1 charger does not have an AM/FM transmitter which would allow you to play music over a radio frequency on your radio, and this is what you may need if you have no physical connection port or Bluetooth connectivity.

I don't believe this will work, however I have not tested completely. As far as I know, it's only line in, And the aux 3.5mm jack is used to connect a source that is not blue tooth capable. I did test with headphones and the JAM worked, but no sound came thru to the headphones. I hope this answers your question. Regardless, the JAM has pretty awesome sound compared to other portable speakers I have used. Especially for the price. You will be very impressed if you decide to purchase.

I've tried to get it to work that way but have had no luck. I've found that it will only have contact to only one device at a time. I found its easier to get a weather proof Bluetooth speaker i bought at my T-Moble store and connect that to my wife's phone for our favorite stored music. That way we can still connect our intercom and talk to each other. The only draw back is if my wife get a call it comes over the speaker.

Well, there is a connector that says AUX, so I assume that is what it is, for headphones or external speakers. I have not tried that yet, as I only wanted it for the bluetoothfeature from my tablet (Sony S). It worked well once, then it is intermittent (works SOMETIMES). I would definitely try something else, but that's me.

I bought one too... works perfectly fine... with a piercings sound coming from the external speaker. I suggest to recheck the speaker connection.

In response to Rebecca King's statement: "the speakers are not great"I agree that NONE of the GPS units have great speakers (and I've looked at quite a few). So, I went to Wal-Mart and bought a $9 adaptor, which connects the output-jack of my Nuvi-350 directly to my car stereo.This is a MUST if you plan on using the nuvi's mp3 function and listening to music along the way. I've permanently wired mine so that it is a super easy connection and now I can hear all my mp3's (as well as Jill's navigation) through my car-speakers.Hope this is helpful to others...

Hi Eric I use powered speakers as i was told i couldnt mix powered with passive speakers. Though i have seen a link on youtube explaing how you can use both using a sound filter check it out i dont have the link. But i use powered speakers and powered bass bin. Sorry i couldnt help. Thanks from Barry.

Could you bluetooth to one speaker and have the audio cable to connect from one speaker to the other? or would that just take the audio from one speaker and output it on the other speaker? Could there also be another plausible solution to bluetooth to one speaker from your phone and at the same time having an audio cable hooked up from your phone to the other speaker to play audio via cable and bluetooth to two different speaker simultaneously?

Just use the in and out jacks on the back of the speakers. Out from the speaker connected to source in to additional speaker.

Thanks Mark! I just want to know how I just want to know if I can use my headphones with mini 3.5 jack so I won't wake up my family. Will the phone out at the rear fit my stereo headset jack? Thanks in advance.

That's what I use with it. I purchased 2 and they really are amazing. I just can't believe the sound these little speakers put out. There is a free iPhone app called UE Boom you use if you have 2 to put out stereo.

Not connected to the same source. Each speaker connects to a BT device independently of each other, in other words if you sync one speaker to your phone the other cannot be connected at the same time. I also tried to connect one speaker to my phone by using the plug and the other using BT, but it only allows one output (either plug or BT not both). I ended up giving my second speaker away.

Hmm. Sounds like the bluetooth connection is not solid. Can you try another device, maybe someone else's phone or ipad? If it doesn't skip with the second one then the phone of the first one may be incommpatible. If the second one skips too then the speaker is bad. The one I bought sounds great and there shouldn't be any skipping.

Hello Andrew, pls forgive my slowness as i never fully understood line in and out concepts. However i can tell you that I have been able to use a rca to 3.5mm cable (in addition to the usb port on the board) to play music from my ipad to the speakers flawlessly. Havent tried it in the other direction. As to your other question, the board has a monitor out port that you can use to connect another speaker to use as a monitor. Hope my slowness has not confused you. G

I have few questions. Can you hook up Bluetooth devices to this receiver? if so, will the recommended yamaha bluetooth will work? 2).Can you play music through zone 2 and not have music playing on the main speakers at the same time? 3) I tried adjusting the volume in zone 2 speakers and it said Fixed volume. what does that mean? Can you adjust volume via smartphone if you have it hooked up through bluetooth?

You can use external speakers in the car. My problem was that tape adaptor stopped working. It can still be used with head phones or plugged into my speakers in my house.
