FM transmitter for 6800??
 
Anybody know if there's a program to allow the PPC-6800 to have an internal FM transmitter. I like to take my phone with me and use it as a MP3 player or satellite radio, when i'm in my car. I currently use the monster car audio FM transmitter which plugs into the cigarette lighter and then i use an adapter to plug the headphone jack from that into my phone's usb port. But I would like if I didn't need all these cords. Any programs out there that can do this? Please help...you can email me at Nebel777@yahoo.com if more helpful.
Thanks I love this website:headbang:

I forgot to add that there is a sprint phone that has this option. I think its called the Fuzion or something with music as its main feature. Having a built in FM transmitter

both the LG Fusic and LG Muziq sport this feature.

you could also use bluetooth http://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Hand.../dp/B000KJBNEI

but i'd imagine your battery would get zapped pretty quickly

Unfortunately, there is no internal transmitter for the mogul =[

I would really be happy if someone made a realllllllllly small fm transmitter that plugged into the usb port, and was about the size of 2 microsd cards stacked together. low profile is key

The 6800 transmits IR, WiFi and Bluetooth in addition to the phone service and data connection. WiFi isn't much help unless you have a CarPC with a WiFi adapter. There are bluetooth capable car stereos that might fit the bill. Regardless, its not going to be cheap.

CarPC??? Woah, he doesn't need a new stereo

Here you go, BT/FM/HF adapter plugs into ur cig lighter.

I guess I should have explained what a CarPC was because it looks like you are not familiar with them. A CarPC is a computer (usually small) that you integrate into your car for music, video, GPS, etc. As mentioned, its not really a viable option due to cost. However, here is a good website on it that should give you more details if you are interested.

I have wanted to put one in my pathfinder for a year now. I want to have a touch screen where the stereo is now and a dvd/r drive just below. With the computer in the back. Im gonna buy one from here maybe next winter when its off the road. Pretty nice Ill have wifi to sync my music folders on my laptop with my pathfinder.

I read where one guy has his wifi setup so that when he pulls into his garage, it automatically syncs with his home media server and transfers over any new videos or music. Good luck with your setup when you do it.

reeg420 01-13-2008 11:39 AM

That shouldnt be that hard to have it auto sync. If you were to set up you wifi to connect automatically and for the two to sync when available it should work right. Ah Im just dreaming now I havent even bought it yet and Im trying to plan every last detail.

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.

hi-tech 01-13-2008 04:17 PM

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.

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.

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.
