Charge + audio over micro-USB for android?

[BD2003]

One of the things that's always kept me from android is that it seems very difficult to just dock a phone in your car and have it charge and play audio.

Is it possible to get a cable that does both USB for charging and 3.5mm for audio like you can with an iPhone? If android phones don't have a dac like the i5, is there any sort of USB dac that can also charge?

In lieu of that, is there any sort of Bluetooth or wireless adapter that provides a full 44.1 lossless stereo signal wirelessly? That can power itself over USB?

I don't want to deal with connecting any cables...just dock into a micro-USB dock and go.

I plug my Moto X into my JVC head unit via usb, it charges and streams music over the USB cable. I can control my music via an app from JVC or with controls on the head unit itself.

I'd rather not replace the head unit if I can avoid it, but I will if that's the only workable solution.

Coming soon.

As of right now, unless you have an iPhone, there's not much integration for android.

That's cool but...buy a new car isn't really a practical solution.

I think it's a ridiculous product anyway, there's no way it'll have the ongoing support something like that needs.

I use a Bluetooth to 3.5mm audio converter for my car. Luckily my car has a 3.5mm aux in, otherwise we'd have to mess around with FM transmitters or what not. I'm not much of an audiophile, but I'm completely satisfied with how the system works. I've used it with both my iPhone and a Galaxy S3. Here's what I use (bought mine on sale )

Powered through the DC Adapter, provides 1 x USB output. LMK if you have any other questions!

That looks like it'll work perfectly. Thanks!

i use the BT in my pioneer x2600bt head unit, sounds good. a bit more pricey than that hands free set, however
