Bluetooth fm transmitter for car with remote that will control the songs on your

phone. Is there one out there that you have used or do currently use. I drive for a living and would like to have something that can play and change my songs from the remote. I would like something that plugs into the cigarette lighter with bluetooth and a FM transmitter. I steering wheel controller would be preferred, but any kind of remote will do just as long as it will control the music on my phone. I don't care if I have to manually open the program on my phone(which I assume I would have to do anyway) I just want to to control it like some of the bluetooth headphones.

Sorry if this is kinda vague, I tried to be specific. Thanks for any help.

My question to you is why not get a car head unit that is bluetooth, Songs play off the phone but over your car stareo.

Because it is not my car. If it was, I would.

I don't know about a bluetooth to FM one, haven't seen those yet. But I have seen a ton of FM transmitters that connect to the 3.5mm audio jack (mostly for iPods, but they'll work just the same with a Touch Pro 2).

Thanks but I would like to be able to control songs and volume with the remote. I have a regular fm trans.

I remember seeing someone get a headphone set that comes with a separate remote controller, but it's 3.5mm remote controller, that is essentially a passthrough (you plug headsets into the controller, and the controller plugs into the phone). The control was cool looking, but I don't remember (sorry, I know my post is a tease!).

I've never seen a bluetooth/fm transmitter. But if you want a bluetooth receiver that controls the phone, you want a device that supports the AVRCP bluetooth profile (Audio Video Remote Control Profile/Protocol). So far Windows Media Player (yuck!) supports AVRCP, but although Coreplayer says it does, I have not been able to get it to work.

Here's what I found, it doesn't have the FM trans, but it works very nicely.

All the controls work perfectly for me.(oh and its not real expensive) I can control my songs from the steering wheel Via bluetooth. Thanks for all the responses.
