Any old usb/headphone splitter will allow you to do this, as the FM transmitter element simply plugs into the 3.5mm headphone jack - FM transmitters are, notoriously, pants though but if its your only option, I would suggest getting your own splitter and then getting a different FM transmitter that has digital tuning, so you can select any frequency, and not be limited to 4.

thanks a lot for your help i will do just that!!
You know what I am looking for... I would love to see a Bluetooth FM Transmitter. Then you can just enter your car, and wirelessly play your music through your phone. Anyone know if these even exist? I did a brief google search but it looked like everything was either a car kit for hands free talking or just people wishing they had one kind of like me.
Universal Belkin adapter.
Personally I use the belkin 3.5 inch universal FM transmitter.
the audio quality isnt grand but its very passable.

I've been using that for my PSP and zune for a while now and i'll be using it
with my kaiser as soon as I get my miniUSB to 3.5 adapter in the mail.
I recomend it.
Say that again...
Hi...
FAO Captainsensible/JPHCCFC or others with experience on this...
I'm wanting to do the same thing but have absolutely no technical knowledge about this kind of thing.
I have a Mk4 VW Golf with the standard VW fit, quad speakers radio.
What products would I need to buy to get my Kaiser playing through the car speakers, and, how would I need to set it up.
Links to the products and detailed advice in plain English welcomed & much appreciated.
TIA.
Regards,
Mark.
Another option would be this, http://www.techlore.com/article/10247/How-To-Play-an-iPod-or-Other-Portable-MP3-Player-Through-a-Car-Stereo/.
I think the quality is better than the FM transmitter.

I use an iTech-clip connected to a cassete player adapter normally for a walkman. Gives me BT stereo music and when clipped to the sunvisor acts as a hands-free automatically cutting off the music when a call comes in.

(i primarily use the module without the speakers- which can be used with a PC separatly)
my future solution is this A2DP supporting head unit:

It took me a while to track one down! But I finally did and I just purchased on off ebay... It is from a brand called Scosche. It sells new for US$90.
It functions as a Bluetooth Reciever (for bluetooth devices with Audio Push, such as the Keiser...) and as a hands free. It plugs into the car power, and I understand it has a built in battery for portability. I should be receiving it later next week, I'll update on how it works

I was one of the first in the states to get the venturi and have been using it for several weeks now. The quality is great and it is the only device I know of that transmits caller ID to the FM radio via RBDS. It is not the cheapest, but only thing i know that transmits FM, charges phone, and does bluetooth calling/stereo. (not to mention it works flawlessly with the Tilt/kaiser)
Hi,
Just saw this on google:
http://www.aftermarketcellular.com/ic/UNIJABRAA120S.html
Most new radios have a plug in the back for external CD or other audio, just connect this and you dont need an FM transmitter.
Good luck...
I have a Monster Icarplay for the ipod. I am wondering if there's any way of modding it to use on my kaiser. I know the ipod connecter is just a modified usb connector - so I am wondering there is some sort of adapter that goes from ipod connecter to regular usb. I don't think I can just snip off the end and solder in a reg. usb because there are controles on the ipod connecter plug. Any thoughts?

I'm browsing around trying to decide what unit to purchase. The thing I like about the Motorola is I do not have to plug it into my cigarette lighter (other than for a charge, of course).
But, I had purchased a Motorola speaker phone a couple years ago and the sound quality for the person on the other end was pretty bad. With this sound quality for me as the listener would probably be OK, as it would go through the radio.
Has anyone used one of these yet that can report back?
The positive feedback from Venturi on the Verizon one sounds good.

what I want to know is ...
how does it transmit to the FM wirelessly though ???
and if there's another radio nearby happened to be scanning stations ... will it also pick up my private conversation ??
I can understand when this is routed through the cigarette lighter plug ... but wireless ??? and they don't specify the type of FM radio ... so I just assumed any regular car FM stereo ...
anyone for answers ???
Good questions.
It seems to me that it transmits to the FM device via BlueTooth; then the FM device transmits to the radio over FM frequency.
And I assume that if someone in a car nearby (I don't think it will transmit very far) happens to tune the the same FM frequency you are using, that they in fact would pickup your conversations.
I would like to be able to have the bluetooth transmit my stereo to my radio, and if I have on a BT headset, have my conversations go there. But, I'm not sure that is possible.
Gents,
I have a question that I've been trying to figure out for a little while now. I've been looking for a bluetooth receiver that has a 3.5mm stereo out to connect to an auxiliary port for a car. The closest thing I have seen is a nifty little piece of equipment put out by sony, model number MBR-100. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this with our phones (AT&T tilt), if it worked straight up, or if there was some tweaking that had to be done in order to make it work. I've been lurking around the forums and found a little info, but very mixed responses, so I figured I would ask.
Thanks!!!!
Kama
Jabra BT3030, i know someone who actually uses this and they love it, plus its got the music controls and phone controls as well. its also got a mic built in so you can use it as a headset.
hm..........I just went ahead and got the mbr-100, however, god forbid that one doesn't work out, I'll give this one a shot. I somehow missed another guy's thread on here that had about 5 or 6 of em listed. Thanks though!!!
why not try something like this ? http://www.pimtensen.nl/shop_details.php?grp_id=1&sub_id=47&cur_id=3309
itech bluetooth
I use an Itech Bluetooth that has a 3.5mm jack, and bought a shortened (4inch) 3.5mm male to male jack. Plug it in the car when driving, now i have music and speaker phone using car speakers and just unplug and take it with me when i leave the car effortlessly.

I use this http://www.orangeaccessories.co.uk/bt320_stereo_bluetooth_headset.html and its real cheap.
It doesn't have a2dp out of the box, but follow the tips here http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/11702-Jabra-BT320s-Stereo-Bluetooth-Handsfree-Reviews.htm and it works really well.
Anyone else find this attached headset dongle annoying as hell?
Couldnt they have made this a sleek, rectangular snap on type thing, or better yet, install the headset jack on the device... argh.
Any aftermarket solutions?
You can get a sleeker adapter from xpansys for about 10 bucks (it's easy to find, just do a search on there). I have it, and it's pretty nice for using a headset. The dongle's good if you want to charge or sync your phone and listen to music at the same time, but I agree, it's clunky.

Received mine in 2 days via UPS.....WORKS GREAT for FM stations and Phone Functions!
Well it's large because of the number of connections on it. Two extUSB, one 3.5mm and one 2.5mm ... that's a lot of stuff.
I use the dongle in my car, I have it permanently there with my windshield mount. I have it hooked from there into my car speakers.
(and a microphone it is annoying that it doesn't go through the device when hooked up without one, but with this my calls go through the car stereo with a cassette tape adapter)
I also have a charger cable permanently connected to the dongle. So when I get in my car I just plug in the dongle and place it in the mount and I have all functions, headset, car stereo and charge.
I agree it is large, but for all the connections it offers, it is great.
When I am bringing my fuze to listen to music from it, I just connect a much smaller angle adapter I bought off amazon.
Hey, I've been looking for more than two hours now. All I want to be able to do is plug my phone into my 3.5 jack in my car to listen to music and have my phone calls go through the car speakers. I also want to use voice command to dial my calls so i guess whatever adapter i get needs a built in mic. I've already made the mistake of buying the wrong adapter once before. I didn't know about the pin connector thing and that it had to be special so the one i got just makes voice command continuously activate over and over. So my question is which adapter does all of the above and ACTUALLY WORKS? I'd really appreciate it. thanks guys.
this is how i do it.
the easiest way is to get something like this and just go blutooth... this means your fone can stay on charge too, and the blutooth dongle will plug into any sound system with 3.5mm jack so this is a solution for more than just your car
This is exactly what you want!

I have it on my Tilt, T-Mobile sells it for the G1 but it works with all HTC phones, plug in your phone, then your 3.5 jack and you can still talk with it.

I guess that is a great solution.. but doesnt look like it has a mic? I guess listening to your music is the most important part.
Hi Guys,
Running on Stock 2.3.4 with root and owner of the Atrix Car Dock. One of the most handy bits of kit I've got for my Atrix.
I'm not overly happy with the Car Dock Home on the phone its self though. When I make a call on Google Talk or on normal phone, it diverts the audio via the loud speaker, and not the car speakers. Is it possible to modify this as otherwise whats the point of having the audio lead in the usb cable if its just for music??
I had a look around the SQLite database to see if there was anything there, but maybe there is a config file somewhere or needs a new APK I don't know.
One for the devs?
Thanks
Andy

My bluetooth Pioneer deck only used the drivers speaker, and it had a few dif noise cancelation modes. So its posible the person talking to you will hear every word they say or worse it can cause static or other distortions.
When using the phone plugged via headphone socket in the actual phone I have not suffered any form of feedback or distortion, which is why I'm interested to see if someone out there can do this
This has been asked before, and nobody ever came up with a solution, other than what you're already doing by plugging in the headphone jack.
