Or, use a splitter with real headphones (or a resistive load) on the
other arm, so the 'phone _does_ think it is driving 'phones.


Well, believe it or not, even though I'm traveling, had to take a plane,
I actually brought a splitter with me. I didnt' know why, I can't even
remember why I got the thing in the first place.

And it worked!! Well.


Excellent!

Using spare earbuds.

It worked with the PC. I'll try it in the car radio later.

So explain this to me. Don't most people just connect their phone to
the PC or car radio with a simple cable. They don't need a splitter or
earbuds.

I imagine most people connect digitally - Bluetooth, wifi, USB "cable",
or otherwise - rather than by analogue means.


There are still a lot of older cars on the road which don't have Bluetooth.
Like mine, a Mazda coincidentally, and I just use the audio jack with my
phone. Works flawlessly. No need for a pairing dance.
