does this dock allow you to make and receive phone calls using the cars speaker system? Is there a mic built in to the dock? Thanks.

Hi Mike You can use the Aux cable to hook into your car speaker system. There is no mic built into the dock however. RND

It will not play the sound through your car speakers during a call, but everything else it will. Make sure your dock settings are correct as James suggested. Make sure you are plugged into both the cigarette lighter and the aux port on you car stereo.

The dock comes supplied with a separate cable that is plugged into the dock itself. The dock then has another, shorter cable (about 2 inches) that is plugged into the phone. This cable allows the phone to go into "car mode". Alternatively you could plug your phone in directly from your own car charger to bypass car mode.

Just the sound not the video if your cars receiver has female 3.5 mm connection. You would have to have a cable that hooks to the dock output of the ipad or usb.

No you can't. There is no mic on this device. It simply transmits the blue tooth audio to your stereo's aux port.

Typically no, this unit will broadcast from the phones audio out and into this device that they outputs it into the car speakers. I've never tried it with my phone for a call, but they sell other units that handle calls through bluetooth that have a better external microphone, etc.

Yep, music fades out as a new call comes in through the car's audio system. Your phone's mic is used for your voice and the car's speakers dish out the other end. My car was pretty loud, so it was sometimes hard to hear the person on the other line and I could never hear the ringtone, but heard the vibration and the music fade out.It works well.

I have not try, but you can answer your phones call with this device, but a separate mic? No it does not.

It has a mic. And yes you can use it to make calls. Works flawlessly on my galaxy s4 and my old Bionic

Yes the microphone is separate and you can mount it anywhere and but the stereo has Bluetooth connection to your phone and will automatically pair eveytime you get in the car therefore when your phone rings you can simply press one button on the stereo to answer/end calls

If the car has bluetooth, then why would you need another bluetooth device? If your car cant stream music (A2DP), most slightly older car dont, then this device will stream music through the aux port and has a Mic to make calls, but all i use it for is to stream music from my android Nexus 7 and I love it.

Honestly I don't own a car dock. So I wouldn't know. What I do kno is dat the wireless charger works thru it. I have droid ghost.

Unfortunately, yes. But I like my docking system so much it makes up for the inconvenience. Also, you'll want an audio cord if your car audio has a jack for it.

Yes, the mic comes with it and works very well. My wife said it sounded clearer when she was talking to me via the Alpine hands free than it did inmy Lexus. And the Alpine unit was put in an old 4Runner.

I use it with my iphone and it only plays music/sound to videos. When a call comes through, I do not have the option of listening to the call through the car speakers, as far as I have been able to find.

Well it doesn't have a traditional dock. The dock is actually a microphone/headphone jack input. Your phone has to go in upside down if it will work. Otherwise you may need a one way earphone cable. The jack that is on the device is very sensitive and most times will not work as it is. I bought this as a speaker set for my turntable. That's the only use it gives me. I would suggest going with another device if you were looking for a dock. It also will not charge your phone. Hope this helps.
