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.

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.

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 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?

[Zen Touch] Car Char

What is the appropriate Car Charger to purchase for a 40GB Zen Touch? If the Creative one is the one with the bulky in-line transformer, does anyone know of a non-creative one that's safe to use but doesn't have the big transformer? (I don't know that I trust the $6 deal on evil-bay)
Also, I plan to use this in the car 90% of the time. Is there any harm that can be done by leaving it plugged in constantly? It will detect that the battery is charged and not overcharge the unit, correct?
Thanks in advance for your replies.Message Edited by svo4turbo on 02-26-2005 02: AM

Hi, here's the link where You can get very cheap, but 00% compatible Zen Touch Car Charger: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=75464&item=5754640 576&rd=
I've got this one myself & it works perfectly without any defects.
If You will leave your player plugged in constantly it's alright only if You use it at the same time. But if it just stays on charge all the time without using, it's not good for your battery - overcharging may cause shortaging of battery life.
Hope that helps

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

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.

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....

Zen micro USB doesn't work with car ra

My zen micro can't connect to my car radio or my teac reciever chr-255. Neither can connect to the USB. It reads for a secund and then just give up. Has anyone got the same problem or even bette, has anyone solved it's?

I suspect the problem may be that your car stereo and Teac receiver are expecting a USB flash dri've type of player and not a PlaysForSure MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) player.
With USB flash dri'ves, the car stereo and the receiver are expecting what looks like a hard dri've which they can just browse and play files directly.
MTP players don't look like hard dri'ves, despite what you might have come to expect because of the Creative Media Explorer interface. CME is performing MTP operations and presenting a view that just looks like a hard dri've.
MTP is used, in part, to manage playlists and to enforce DRM (digital rights management) licenses.
I keep hoping that Microsoft, Creative, and PlaysForSure/MTP compatible players will come up with a standard for operating the player like an iPod so integration will be as seemless for non-iPod players as well.

Microphoto and Zen Micro Char

I noticed that there is no specific microphoto power adapter available on the Creative website. Will the normal Zen mirco power adapted be safe to use with the Microphoto, or is there a specific one just for the photo that has yet to come out? I have the same question in terms of the zen micro vs. microphoto extra battery as well.

That's what I thought...so I bought a Micro Zen wall/car travel charger package for my MicroPhoto, and neither one works! In both cases the MicroPhoto battery would not get charged. I even tried a different USB cable to make sure that that is not the issue. I verified proper connection, i.e. the player lit up and the charging icon appeared in the top right corner, but the battery just wouldn't charge up and I left it alone for 2 hours! So either both, the car AND wall unit I purchased are broken (which seems unlikely to me) or there clearly is a difference between the required output of the Zen Micro vs. Zen MicroPhoto.

Keeping zen micro backlight on when using the car charg

Is there any way to keep the backlight on, when using the car charger. I have my zen micro hooked up the my car stereo. It would be nice to be able to see the screen at night. The lights for the buttons stay lit, but not for the screen.

RMSkater: There's no "always on" setting. This is for good reason I think as the type of light Creative use will wear out with a few thousand hours of use, which will get eaten up relati'vely quickly if "always on". At least I believe that's what Creative have said in the past.
