Alright Ive been searching but i can find if anyone has ever done this,
use the mp3z on the TouchPro2 and connect to the radio VIA like the Ipods transmitters adaptors ?
My 2004 Maxima wasnt equiped with mp3z player cd changer, only the 2007.
Ive been searching to see if I could do this with the touchpro2.
there has to be a way cause I really refuse to purchase anything Apple.
What worst is my CD changer now is stuck , (go figure my luck)
Radio is a bit getting played out , any ideas or is it not possiable to utilize the mp3z to transmit to the car radio ?
If I understand correctly you can get an FM modulator that will send your mp3's on your TP2 to a specific channel on the radio. I have a monster one from EBay that is digital and only paid 19bux for. Any electronics store should have it.
One further complication will be that you will have to get an adapter to go from usb to 3.5 unless you have the CDMA version. I use a headphone adapter and a charge unit all in one so the phone stays charged on long trips.

Check out THIS thread. It's in an iPhone/iPod forum, but the 4th post mentions that there's some adapter that will serve as an RCA stereo input to your radio, as long as you don't have the factory satellite radio option installed. If that's the case and you can get one of those adapters, you'll just need a 3.5mm-RCA adapter, available on ebay or at any radio shack. The FM transmitter/modulator options InRBigness mentions will certainly work as well, and are a bit easier to deploy, but this would give you better sound quality as a rule.
I cant post a link cause I'm a n00b so go to Ebay and type this in the search area, "Car FM Transmitter for HTC Tilt 2" I gots me one a month ago and it works great!!!!!

Hi Guys,
Sorry, put this in 'H & A' section instead of 'General' :?
I replied to this quote, then realised that I'd never seen the iROCK! mentioned generally here:-
I have an early version which works great with either battery or car adaptor (tho never in this country obviously!!! :wink: )

You could also try the amazing iROCK! which you plug into you earphone socket & it transmits on one of 4 FM frequencies to your nearest radio.
(it's illegal in the UK unfortunately, but available from USA etc.)
Don't know where you are located. If ya get caught over here, I never suggested this Guv! :lol: :wink:

Have a Rocking New Year everyone!
but the radio transmitter doesnt give out High Definition music... but its cool to use especially in a public place! all the other radios sounding like your fone! just like having your own short ranged radio station... coool
How can i hook up my jam to my headunit in my car so i can use media player?There must be a way!
Maybe you should provide us with the information what headunit you're using!? Basically, you'll need some way to input a 2,5 mm jack into your radio, using some kind of adapter if there's no direct input.
Hi.Yeah good point.I'm using a Sony CDX-F7750 if that helps!

I used to use a cassett adapter (carkit) for my sony unit.
Half year ago, I get one of this (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-YkZvOpNsh6B/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=50900&I=158XA300) from ebay to enable the AUX input for my unit. Sound is a bit better and look more professional since I run the wire better w/ this unit.
p.s. need to 2.5.mm to 3.5 mm adapter. I remember there was a thread in this forum taking about this.
Cheers for that.Looks like it's just what i need!
Cheers for that.Looks like it's just what i need!
I have bought the Brodit Active Car Holder, and glued the 2,5mm to 3,5mm adapter to it. Then I have a cable 3,5mm jack to cinch, which goes into my car stereo AUX sockets.
This works also with an adapter cassette.
Kind regards

Sounds like another goood option.Do i basically have to get a jack converter from 2.5mm to 3.5mm and plug that in the jam,then a cable from the jam to the car holder?Sorry if i'm seeming thick!What parts will i need altogether so i can order them all.This seems lie a better option.thanks
I prefer this option myself...

You basically tune your headunit to any available/free/weak FM frequency and do the same on the unit above and you get great sound!
P.S. You will still need the 2.5 to 3.5 convertor.
All is available on ebay, which is where i bought my kit- works a treat

I tried it also and all I can about it is just sucks. I already did a mod on it to increase the length of the antenna. It improves the sound quality a bit (and it GREATLY improve the range of broadcast) but the quality is still sucks.
1. Sound quality is even worst than the cassette carkit option and a lot of noise in the sound.
2. In some area, yr transmitter is fighting w/ the local boardcast and you have to switch freqency
3. Battery only last a few hrs. And you need an extra cigar adapter if you want to use the car power. The totally # of wire to get all the work done is a mess
4. The wire comes w/ the unit is too short and it hard to figure out where to put the unit if U are using a windshield mount for yr jam (eg: GPS, video playback).
Now, the only moment I use this unit is when I go travel w/ a rental car

It says at the bottom that it only works in north america.Is this not correct then?
First of all, in my opinion, I think this product works greats for me. I see you are in the UK so it will work good for you too (best frequency that I find to use it 88.1 FM).

It's only legally available to buy in North America- that's why they can't sell it anywhere else; but it will work fine here in the UK.
Like I said, go on to ebay and they'll have it on there as well as the 2.5 to 3.5 convertor you need.

A downside to the above product is that it has as frequency- so it may not work so well in certain countries.
So here's my story. Basically, I got Resco's Pocket Radio on my phone. I use it to stream internet radio (obviously) and I wanted to use it with a FM transmitter in my car. I got this. It works great, except that if the phone gets too close to the transmitter part, I get this crazy interference on the phone or the stereo. I am positive this is from the wireless downloading that is happening to stream the internet. Basically what i'm asking is, is there is a way to REDUCE the amount of interference? Are there some tricks or something to accomplish this?
does that plug come with an adapter for the input jack... as the wizard has a smaller input jack... did you have to buy one or does this plug right into it?

no I bought a little adapter from radio shack.

I already did that and it helped TONS, but my radio antenna on my car is in the back, and my phone and stuff is in the front of the car. So like, even like forcing the signal to the back of the car or something?
well probably the further the better ... and the transmitters usually work much further than your car is long. just out of curiosity which one do you have and how far away is your phone from it? I bought some crappy one and it works ok in my sister's car but horrible in mine and my house...
Hi All,
Wondering if anyone use this gadget before, car FM transmitter. Something like I found in ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170390432785&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Is this thing any good? Thank you for your response.
Ive had a few and none of them work well, depending how you look at it, i dont think you can get a perfect FM signal that will always work simply because its FM - you will get half decent quality for a sec then it will degrade / return / degrade.
If anyone has got or seen a FM transmitter that does give a strong clear signal i would like to know...
HTH
I have a Venturi Mini and it works quite well in my new car. Had some issues in a couple other olders cars I had. It does have an Aux input/ouput as well. Though I am quessing if you are looking for an FM xmitter you likely lack an aux input on your car stereo.
It supports Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR and works great with the TouchFlo music player. In addition it does have a USB port for charging your device. Works great as a handfree car kit as well (dependign on where your cigarette lighter/power port is located.)
It is not cheap (pricewise) though.
Thank you all for your feedback. I've done my research and it seems that its not convincing enuff. Venturi Mini that hddn_agnda suggested really tempting though, although pricewise as said, more expensive. Another friend suggest Motorola T505, a slightly cheaper. Hmmmm..
adaptor
you can get fm relay adaptors that hook into the back of radio between antenna and can plug in jack and when turn on device it clicks over to a hard wired signal. works really great

Interesting. Any links on this or where can be bought? Thanks
http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/t505/
I highly recommend this or the new model of that (don't know what the model is on the new version).
You can get them for very reasonable prices online and they work awesome.
i've bought a cradle with an fm transmitter, can't seem to find them now on ebay for an example.
they're ok quality wise, nice if you can find a frequency that's used/near other stations.
i find that if i'm on a long trip, it performs quite good but in the city i get some interference.
i have tomtom and s2p running so that i hear my music and directions at the same time!
heres a link to ebay, modulator actually for xm radio but if the adaptor fits the adaptor for the fuze headphone then should work-unsure-dont have modulator no more. http://cgi.ebay.com/UNIVERSAL-FM-MO...temQQimsxZ20091119?IMSfp=TL091119178006r36569
i bought one of the cradles not to long ago, works quite well, unfortunenatly had to mod it, but still works quite well

I just found many car FM transmitters in a site. With many styles, but also it is hard for me to make decision to buy which one.
Which is the Best FM transmitter
need one for my HD2
Please
Hey guys, quick question:
is there device or cable that will allow you to connect your fuze to your car radio so it plays your mp3's?
I know Ipods have that capability?
How about our phones?

Any line-out cable will do.
If however you would like to control your Fuze (i.e. skip, vol. up/down) then you would need a A2DP capable BT adapter for wireless streaming.
Sascha
bluetooth is the easiest way to go, especially if you car already has an a2dp capable bluetooth reciever.
the only thing my alpine head unit doesn't do is show the current track playing from my fuze, but i'm not sure if it's a fuze issue or if it is the alpine.

Thanks guys, this was driving me nuts and now I know the answer!
I don't need people to figure out things.
Two words: MotoRokr T505.
Two more words: F*ing Incredible.
Check it out. I enjoy mine thoroughly, wish I used it more, but I'm a public radio junkie. When I'm out of minnesota though, I stream MPR with my phone and through the T505 to the car stereo. Also mp3s and phone calls. Absolutely fantastic quality on everything. Check out the reviews on amazon. I thought about going cheaper, but have never regretted spending the 70 bucks on a new one. Used ones are like 50, great resale value.
I just need to wire mine in now so I never need to worry about the battery. (even though battery life, like everything else, is fantastic)
