is it possible to broacasting from XDAII
just yesturday i learn that certain MP3 player can broacasting MP3 over FM network, so all you have to do is make sure your radio station and MP3 player is on the same channel. then you can listen to MP3 in your car.
is there any software that can let XDAII do the same thing?
FM is analog signals places typical around 100Mhz
GSM phones are digital signals placed around 900Ghz 1800Ghz and 1900Ghz
so with the GSM part of the xda2 you sure cant transmit FM
Yes it is possible to broadcast from your XDA2, you can do this by plugging in a FM transmitter. Here the one I use
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProd...=&Section_Id=201526&pcount=&Product_Id=140984
I then tune in my car radio to the same frequency as the FM transmitter and i get MP3s on my car radio. It works well and I am quite happy with it.

hummmm i wonder how that happened?
You also have adapt or buy a connector into the base of the XDA but its easy to do....
you mean a 2.5mm to 3.5mm minijack converter right ?
lol seems you can use them to freak people out

i'm thinking war of the worlds here
hehe now that looks like fun.....hehe, time to go out and mess with peoples radios.....lol :lol:
Yeah 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack
as (hopefully) on the link......

I can really recommend it it works well, however if my car radio was able to have a aux input i would have preferred that
thanks guys
this is what i looking for
There is a very cheap device called a car baby that will do this also, it is a rechargable device that clips to the top of the xda 2 and covers the speaker output, it works well but you must make sure that the pda volume is very low to begin with, just adjust upwards in small increments until you get loud undistorted audio through your radio. Go to ebay and search car baby. Here is a link to the uk ebay selling device. This will also work as a handsfree for the phone if you arent more than 6-10 feet from the mic input on phone.

i got one of those belkin one on ebay
now i need to know where can i got a adaptor 2.5mm to 3.5mm in Canada or usa?
Any tips on which one is best? Trying to wirelessly send music to car speakers via the audio jack...
Thank you
you can look up the Motorla T505 - It is bluetooth and transmits to your car stereo using Powerful FM Transmitter. Mutes music when you get a call and resumes after. Calls come through car stereo as well. Or if you want check out jabra stereo headphones = I know that there are a few that have Headphone jacks out. My Jabra Bt320 would do what you are looking for or there is a Jabra stereo headphone set that looks like dog tags with headphone jack out as well. (Wish I would have foun that before I bought the Bt320 )

u can try the Motorola S705. It allows u to attach any 3.5mm jack to the unit. I have been using it for awhile and it works pretty good.
This sounds like a good idea. But, I often go the cheap route on devices like this. I shop at this website DealExtreme and they have a device like this for $20. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8098 I saw some reviews on it that says the range sucks... it's like 10 feet or something but if I'm in my car with it, what does it matter. Anyways, that site rocks. There is a replacement battery on there for the Kaiser for like $7. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15833
I personally use the iTech Clip (S38 I think...) i'd have to double check. I ordered it from ebay thought and it works pretty well. It was around $50 for me with shipping. The only complaint is the music sounds just a touch muffled when compared to listening through wired head phones. But you really don't noticed it unless you are doing a comparo.
I use mine all the time for when I go running and it works well.
plantronics 855
the plantronics 855 is a really nice stereo bluetooth headset. I got mine for $45 on sale, I think it goes for around $40 new on ebay. With a 3.5mm headphone jack part (radio shack $2), some wire (radio shack $3), a small amount of dremeling and some soldering you can turn it into a really small bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter with really great sound. (im using bose-in ear headphones and the sound quality is really good). I did it with mine and I love it. If you want instructions PM me.
If you just want to buy something then sony makes a really nice one, its like $100 but the sound quality has to be great.
Also make sure you do the A2DP hack to your phone (it's really just a reg edit in cab form):
View attachment A2DP_BT_Hack.zip
Sony Ericsson HBH-DS205 or DS220.
Generally rated very good -but some report brief transfer interruptions happening every minute or so. They come with a headset included, but thats connected to the unit via a 3.5 mm plug. I found one for a decent price on Ebay.
Waiting for my S705

I just purchased the S705 on Amazon. What I liked was that it could charge while it was working as a bluetooth receiver. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a hard on/off switch. I would much prefer to be able to leave the switch on all the time so that as soon as I enter my car and turn the car on, the S705 would connect to my phone.
As it is, I accept the limitation as it might be better all around that I have to turn the thing off rather than have it wasting it's charge every time I turn off the car.
Iv just bought a jabra 3030 dogtagbluetooth headset which has a 3.5mm audio jack on it so you could put it in a cup holder and buy a small 3.5mm audio jack cable to plug into the radio, I will test it out when mines delivered if you want ?
Hi I got my BT3030 today and must say it is amazing works great with tytn ii, sterio audio goes through aswell and a 3.5mm jack on the side so you can plug it into any form of audio output!
Sound quality is the best Iv ever heard from a bluetooth device and is allmost as good as my 5.1 at home
Only £30 from expansys if you get the £10 off from madoca or whatever it is.
I am still shopping for a solution but found this one while looking. Haven't tried any yet, thanks to all who posted suggestions.
Found this on feabay today, think it is a very nice idea, and very cheap

Ever Tried it??
I Read the page and it kind of looks weird.. it says the charger does not charge the phone just the transmitter.. Also it lacks a picture of the appropriate connector..
Just wondering if anybody else has tried it?
I have ordered one, and will let you know when it arrives
I would say it does power the handset too, and the connector is Mini USB.
I have one and with the Pro it has a bug to activate the voicelabel when i play my MP3's

It seems that you could get it caught in a feeback loop if you have the FM radio set to listen to the station that you are trying to transmit on.
Wonder what it would do?...hmmm.

Well since you need headphones plugged in or the FM radio won't work, I don't think you could find out!
The Motorola T505 is really nice, though a little pricey. Its basically a bluetooth speakerphone with an FM transmitter.
So your music and calls use BT A2DP, then the T505 broadcasts that over an FM station. It'll even pick the best station and tell you to tune to it. If you're listening to music and a call comes in, it'll pause the music announce the number, and if you answer it, it'll play the call over your car speakers (like OnStar).
I've used it on a 5+ hour trip and never had to charge it, I forgot how long the battery is rated for.
In my car i´ve a CD Changer Radio without a cd changer connected. Those radios have a connection possibility (the normal connector to the changer) at the rear, where you can connect a cable which ends in a 2,5 mm (we call it "klinkenstecker", i dont know the english word). So you can buy an adapter from USB to 2,5 mm "klinke", and your TP gives great sound, in my opinion its better than the car radio ... The manufactor of the connector is called HAMA

Phone music through car stereo plus a lot more using iTech Stereo clip
I wrote a similar post a few montsh back (almost a year) in the Tilt section.
a very nifty way is getting a A2DP stereo BT headset connected to the car.
Easy as 1-2-3 if you have a car stereo with either AUX or so called iPod input (eeek). Most of these inputs are either in the center console or armrest storage compartment.
How to Step-1 (Music and Navi):
Get a cheap but good working BT headset with std. headphone out (3.5mm). I use an iTech clip 35 for example.
Get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, if you want to have handsfree at the same time get a LONG cable.
Connect iTech with AUX through cable
Start BT and activate A2DP profile (also known as stereo headset in some devices).
Start BT and AudioManager at phone and enjoy music through your car stereo.
Since A2DP will route ALL output to the BT device and therefore AUX input of your car you may listen to your voice navigation as well. Cool thing Tilt and Raphael will play music while Navi is active and mute music for Navi directions and come back...to music.
How to Step-2 (Music, Navi, Handsfree):
If you use a long 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable you can route the cable and iTech clip somewhere near your head (visor) or even behind the little grid MOST cars have meanwhile regardless if they are equipped with a handsfree BT option or not (take a look at the overhead light and consult with a good shop manual in most cases there is enough space).
Mount the clip and - voila - here is your handsfree.
Hint, if you permanently install the iTech clip extend the charging cable and use a cigarette lighter with USB port to charge.
why not use the cab bt to head phones. and mount the ptt funtion to turn on the app to forward the audio to your bt car system then no wires
Agreed but BTAudio and BTToggle messes with the phone, so how do you pick up a call?

I had my PURE Highway In-Car DAB Digital Radio FM Transmitter stolen which I mainly used to transmit my TP MP3's to the car radio and needed a replacement.
So I bought a FMTalk unit for use in my 3 year old Renault Laguna but it picks up alternator whine interference and crackles too.
I tried these too but had the same whine
Belkin TuneCast II
Sendai XM800 FM Transmitter
In the end I got a Griffin iTrip Auto Universal Plus which works a treat at a reasonable price although it doesn't have the phone talk function like the more pricey Motorola T505 or Parrot MK6100.
The main point was that the FMTalk unit suffers from alternator whine interference
hi,
does anyone know if we can route radio audio to bluetooth A2DP ??yes i know that we have to plug wired stereo headset for antenna use. probably need a specific software to route it because by default radio audio you can listen only with wired headset.
thank you
Only way I know is to download radio over mobile internet if your data tariff can stand it. Seems pity and half the attraction of having radio tuner on A2P handset.
Slave aerial less bulky than wired headset would also be good when listening to radio through speaker.
Not to use for calling just for music
Buy a A2DP capable Bluetooth FM car kit / transmitter. Put it in the lighter plug, adjust the radio frequency and ready to go. Some of them sound very good, but some are terrible. Check before you buy.
Thanks, if anyone has a recommendation please let me know!
If you have an older car you could get a Cassette adapter. That's what I use right now and it sounds nice. Otherwise you could get a Axillary cable if your car has the port for it. I'm not a fan of the wireless stuff.
been reading up on some bluetooth devices, most seem to have mixed feedback on the quality of the sound... and not cheap either
No casette but will check if there's a port I've never paid any attention to!
The wifi chip has fm reciever/transmitter. So far it's not used, as far as I've heard. The transmitter would be usefull in this case.
I have a car fm transmitter that has usb(for memory sticks, fat partitions) and audio jack input. Not the highest quality but it was cheap. If the transmitter in the nexus is going to be enabled and a propper app is made we could just use it on any car radio reciever.
Any hope of this happening anytime soon?
