Zen Micro Car Accessor

Hey,
I have done the research and it seems that the Zen Micro is what I want. Who knows the best price that I can get one for?
Also,
I can't seem to find many car accessories for the Zen Micro. I want to be able to use it in my car but I also want it to be secure. I have seen that the Ipod has an FM transmitter with a holder. Is there anything like that for the Zen Micro? I tested an FM transmitter and the quality doesn't seem that good.

What country are you in?

Creative sell a transmitter, made by Belkin. There are also many other transmitters out there like the AudiaX. As you say though the quality isn't great.
Have a look for the link "how to connect the players to a car stereo" in the FAQ post for other methods of connecting the player.

Zen micro car d

Are there any suggestions or links to point me at for a zen micro car holder fixture. I have mine plugged into the aux on my cd deck and was wondering if anybody has created a pratical good looking way to mount it or hold so it doesnt have to sit in my ashe tray (which I luckily don't use).

there is alot of FM transmitters out there that can be used for any portable audio device.
iRock has an FM transmiter, just go to any radio shack and ask for an irock wirless music adapter.
iTrip's benifit is that it plugs into the iPod, tapping into it's batties instead of using a car power adapter. Of coures because of that you can't use that with other players.
The irock thing works with any device whether it's an I-pod, CD player, or Zen micro. Anything with an earphone jack will work with it. You can even use it to liten to portable DVD players on your car stereo.
However if you got a tape deck it would be much cheaper to get a tape deck adapter to do all those things.Message Edited by Takezo on 03-2-2005 06:25 PM

Where can I get the Zen Micro Car Charg

That's the best thing for road trips!
I li've in Holland and I was wondering if I can order it somewhere.
Thanks.

Percell,
There is not a Zen Micro Car Charger released yet. Since it charges over USB it requires a different charger than our other Zen Players. When one is released it will show up in the online store for your region.

Zen Micro Car charger quest

Will the official Creative Car Charger allow you to use the Zen Micro if the battery is completely dead? I bought a cheap usb car adapter and it doesn't seem to work correct at all. I am looking for a way to power the Zen Micro in the car if the battery is drained- I am assuming from Creative's product description you can use their adapter to power the Zen in the car if the battery is completely drained.
We really like the Zen micro but have had continous problems with the battery. I've updated firmware and have done everything recommended in the FAQ in regards to conserving the battery. My wife primarily uses the Zen in the car to replace her cd's. It is not used that often (maybe 2-3 hours a week) but seem to not hold a chage at all. The only way we have found to fully charge the unit is through the usb port on our computer. So basically we are looking for a way to power the Zen in the car regardless if the battery is charged.
Thanks,
Scott

I'm pretty sure if the battery is dead the Micro won't work even if plugged in. I remember trying to use a demo unit at a store and the battery was dead. They plugged it into its charger and it still wouldn't work. It said it was charging but the battery had to build up a charge before it would work.

Creative Zen Micro Case/ Accessor

I recently purchased the Creative Zen Micro Case. I've had a purple ZM since they came on the market and really haven't had any problems other than one crash where I lost everything. That was annoying but it did force me to put new stuff on which I don't do on a regular basis.
I have the white Capdase case but was looking for something with a belt clip. The quality of some of the cases with clips isn't that fantastic and not terribly stylish. I decided to go with the Creative case because it was finally available, looked nice and the website claimed it had a clip. They say "clip it to your belt or waistband, or wear it around your neck". The website doesn't have any really good pics of the back of the case though.
The case arri'ved this week. This case does not have a clip. It has a leather loop on the back, attached at one end with a snap. So I could snap it around a belt loop on pants, belt (if I wore one), perhaps snap it around my wrist, around a bag or through my clothes (although that doesn't work and I don't want holes in my clothes). I was very disappointed. I called Creative and complained about the difference between clip and snap. They easily gave me a return authorization number and I shipped it back yesterday.
Just thought anyone looking for a case and considering the Creative one should know so they may avoid disappointment.
Anyway, I purchased a custom Vaja (vajacustom.com) case yesterday. I should have it in a month. The company is in Miami but everything is made in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Yes, this is the same company as Vajacases.com but now you can customize your case and make it any color you want for the same price. Mine will have a lavendar front and violet back... and yes it will have a belt clip. I seriously researched the clip it came with to avoid that mistake again.
Other Accessories:
I have the Vivid 60 speakers in purple and they are fantastic. Great for the office or any place where its important to hear what's going on around you (i.e., can't wear ear buds).
But I wish there was a docking station in production. Does anyone know if that guy who did zenmicrodock.com is actually going to produce them?

Oh man, I got that case and I hate it. When my Micro is in it, the case doesn't firmly close, and I'm afraid that it will pop open and my Micro will get scratched worse than just being carried around in my pocket.

Zen Micro Car Connection Prob

Okay so i bought a cable for my Zen Micro 5gb Black, that is RCA audio to headphone jack. I have a pioneer headunit (aftermarket) which has the RCA audio jacks on the back. My problem is that when i plug this in and play my zm, it plays no matter what else is happening, with whatever else is on, like a cd and my zm or the radio and my zm. Plus i cant control volume through my headunit, only through the zm volume control. Anyone know of any simple and hopefully free ways to fix this? I dont have an aux. in, just the red and white RCA audio jacks. Id really like to be able to just have the zm play, and i control the volume and such through the head unit.
Thanks in advance,
Rug

The car stereo does have a "source" button which i use to switch back and forth from radio to cd and such. However, it doesnt find the RCA audio connection as a source, which is very strange. I took out the cd, and plugged the ZM into the RCA connection, and hit source and nothing happened. The other problem is i already have XM satillite radio with a rf modulator hooked up into the headunit so i cant use another modulator. The only soulution i can think of is to get some kinda RCA audio a-b switch and plug both the zm and the sattilite radio into its modulator. I dont know if anyone makes something like that though...thoughts?

What holder are you using?
Is it for a specific phone?
Perhaps a trip to Halfords for a bog standard job?
Cheers.

Zen Micro / Car Ste

I have a line in on my car stereo. I use it for my external XM player. Is it possible to use this to hook up the Zen to my car stereo?
Thanks.

Yes. all you need is a cable that has a male headphone connection on both ends. hook one end to the line-in on your stereo and the other to your Zen. that should work. and will give you better quality then a FM transmitter.
The cord you want can usualy be found at any electronics stores for a couple bucks.

Creative zen touch car accessor

hello,ipod has this?adapter where you can plug?it into the cigarette lighter and it plays the ipod over the radio and the speakers in your car,i was wondering is there any item like that for my creative zen touch?

A case is coming from Creative.
I don't remember hearing anything about a dock yet.
The video cable was being discussed on another thread, and it wasn't clear whether 3rd party cables work or not.
There's no need to buy a travel adapter. Just buy a plug adapter for the current adapter.
Screen protectors for the iPod apparently fit pretty well. They might need some trimming, or you can just buy another oversized screen protector e.g. for a PDA, and cut to size.
There have been MANY headphone recommendation threads, like this one. Try searching back. I personally recommend Sony's EX5/7 canalphones, as well as the Sharp HP-MD33S canalphones (Creative have rebadged these and sell that as the EP-630s). They might be a little above your budget, but are both great canalphones.

Zen micro car mo

You know that worthless belt clip that comes with the micro? well if u use double sided tape on the back of it, it makes a great car mount

Its got to be some strong tape that can stand up to the heat and whatever climate your in offers.
Pics would be nice....

Do Zen Micro sell well on Eb

I got an extra battery from when I payed $250 for a micro. I think that warranty will expire by the time it breaks yet again. So I might aswell try my luck on good ol Ebay.
So has anyone sold a Zen Micro or accessories or know how much money I can expect to get in return(I still got the box and extras)?

Zen Micro's sell well everywere..... It will sell good on ebay but not at full price if it has been removed and used from the package...

Need accessories for Zen Micro-can anyone he

Hello Everyone,
I purchased ny zen micro a couple of months ago and already i am keen to get accessories. Does anyone know where to get accessories (from a proper shop like John Lewis etc.). If you do please send a reply as soon as possible
Thank you

In Japan, the remote comes with the Zen Micro (still doesn't justify the $80 dollar price increase!!). I tried using the remote and found it to be a waste. I wouldn't bother buying it. When I am wearing a jacket I put the Micro in my jacket breast or side pocket. When I am not wearing a jacket, I use the case and belt clip.
Unless you make massi'vely long playlists and would thus keep the Micro in your bag for LONG periods of time, the remote is essentially useless. It only has volume, puase, play, and next track controls, and no display of course.
Just my thoughts on the remote. The clip sucks on the remote too. It's too small to clip to the strap on my bag securely.
