_FRONT_ facing speaker(s) mod with USB charger port (and AUX?)

dirkzelf
dirkzelf over 8 years ago

I drive big trucks, every day another one, and I am really fed up with bluetooth.... Pairing every single *&^#$$%@# time... it never really goes perfectly, besides not all trucks have radio's with BT or AUX in and if they have, the calling over aux to the truck's speakers is mostly rubbish anyways (echo issues). Ans when you get a call, BT signal lost, and all hell breaks loose....

 

I know of the JBL thingie, but for me that's way too BULKY! Besides its facing the wrong way... And I don't need the deep base for phone calls.

 

So, why not have a Moto Mod which is very thin, and provides (a) good front facing speaker(s), would look a bit like the gamepad mod.... probably (and preferrably a little thinner / smaller), and instead of controls just a few front facing speakers....! And if the mod has a connector for USB C charger cable, and possibly a jack plug outlet, we could simultaneously charge and use it easily for handsfree calling, because in a trucks cabine there's always much moire noise than in your average car, AND we could use it to watch video/movie/online tv when we're not driving, for all this :

 

a good set of loud front facing speakers would make the world of a difference!

 

I don't need developers to provide a monstrosity (?) mounted solution, MOUNTS can be found anywhere so I'd like to use my own solution.

 

JUST a slim / thin back cover MOD with front facing speakers, a USB - C charger inlet, and possibly an audio jack out.

 

What ya say?

    It's an interesting idea and we'd love to see it come to market. If you could find a motivated team this would be a great project to propose for our recently announced Transform the Smartphone Competition with IndieGogo, you may be able to get this product off the ground.

    Thanks for recognizing this is a good idea, but I am doing nothing what you suggested. I am busy as it is driving trucks, and I am in no way even near to a developer kind a guy, I have no time at all (unfortunately..!!) for all the prepping and campaigning @ IndieGogo.

    I just wanted to bring the idea at the right table for the right people to do something with it, and of course I'd love to see it get reality some day soon....

     

    The whole concept of this MOD phone I have is GREAT! It is suitable for so many purposes, the list is almost endless...

     

    Besides the existing MODS, I'm just popping out a few other appliations: Keyboards, storage, PC kind of docking stations, digital-analogue I/O modules, LAB modules (sensors, IEEE etc), police/firedept/ambulance/medical and other law- enforcement applications, ID-mods, testers i.e. diabetics, DNA, eye/face recognitions the list goes on and on..... it just needs guys to actually DO it.... Not me, I drive TRUCKS.... image

     

    Oh, and I forgot DVB-T, DAB+ modules, External sensor / OBD mods, Multi I/O connection mods, SAT mods (make sat calls with your Z Phone), Magnet chargers/docks for car or desk...... probably forgetting even more .... image

     

    And what about a RADIO mod? Not the radio we listen to in the car, but COMMUNICATION radio, like on boats, in cars and for the outdoor adventurer..... how flex is that...!
