The answer to this one isn't in the phone but in the car audio deck.... Go get a car sterio with Bluetooth... sync your phone and use it through your car sterio that way... THis is why there are only 2 production phones that have an FM transmitter.

Um I know what CarPC is, its been out for years... but you're telling the guy to get a new stereo? Or get to get a Car Computer?? Thats $$$ No... Just use the link I posted. Its a cigarette lighter powered A2DP Bluetooth FM Transmitter with handsfree speakerphone for ANY car stereo for $100 Bucks. All he wants to do is accomplish what he is already doing without wires. Thats using his Mogul as a MP3 player for the car.

Here's a YouTube video from the manufacturer (Satechi).

I admit its relatively new so you may not have known it existed. Motorola ROKR is also coming out with a visor mount version (battery powered). Motorola also has A2DP bluetooth car adapters that are hard wired to a car stereo aux or other input, but requires a professional installation.

I didn't realize you were trying to be cute as I was trying to offer him help and give you some additional information. I see you are new to the forums here so you might not realize that this forum is very focused on helping people unlike some of the other ones. You might want to read my post again as I did not tell him to get a carpc. I stated that the wifi option wasn't much use unless you had a carpc.

Regardless, my option of the new stereo would run about $115 or higher (Sony Bluetooth Deck) and yours (bluetooth fm transmitter) would run $100. He's not going to get out of this very cheap unfortunately.

My old car stereo just had a 1/8" input so I just plugged one cable from my old Treo into the stereo. No static or anything to mess with, just tunes. You can always just use a cassette or other adapter too. Wired is always better than wireless and you can leave your phone plugged into the cig lighter so the battery stays full.
