Mobile phone and audio playback advice

[Theodjinn]

Hi,

I am picking up a DSPORT + at the end of the month and I'm looking for advice on the best 12v phone chargers. I have a HTC M8 and was wondering if anyone else has one and has a decent charger they could recommend.

Also, I use my phone to connect to Spotify and Team Rock radio. Would I need a cable from my phone to an internal 3.5mm jack or would I be able to do this using Bluetooth?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I think you can play spotify etc over the Bluetooth but you have to manually start the audio on the phone before you set off, I think it automatically uses the phones media player if you try it without touching the phone. I'm sure others will have more experience with this.

I've been using this one to charge my iPhone 5, the 'fast charge' port does the job. Also runs my dash cam & Tomtom with this plugged in the top.

This is correct. Start the car, make sure phone is connected with Bluetooth, press play on Spotify, press 'Source' on the radio until it changes to your phone. Adjust the volume on your phone then you're set. Track skipping works with the radio controls but I don't think track names always show up on the car.
