and if so..is it goes with the ringke fusion?
thank you
I would suggest acquiring somebody's old MP3 player that has radio functionality, instead. Generally they just need the right ear buds that came with the device since mobile devices tend to use the headphones as an antenna.
I would only use an FM transmitter if it's your only way to get music to your car. An aux port/Bluetooth connection are going to be significantly better, and even one of the tape adapters will be a step up from the FM transmitter.
If you really need to use an FM transmitter, look for one that runs off the DC power in your car as opposed to something with a battery.

I'm not specifically endorsing that one, but the adapter-powered transmitters will typically have a higher transmission power than the battery powered models, so you will get a clearer signal.

hey i was wondering if it was possible to use the fm radio chip in the phone as a fm transmiter for a car or something that can pick up the signals. sort of how you can hook up something to an ipod and it will play it on a channel on the radio.
or is the chip in the phone just a reciever?
thanks for the info
Just a receiver in the TP2. Apparently the chip in the HD2 can transmit but is not configured to do so.
You would have to buy an fm modulator and run your phone through it. Why you would want to do this I am unsure because you would need to FM in your car stereo in the first place. You could play mp3's or internet radio through the car radio though.
yeah, this is 2010, I can understand if you can't buy a car that has an AUX input already (b/c 99% of them do) but buy a $100 head unit, or search crutchfield for a solution...nothing beats listening to streaming Slacker while driving, I'm thinking about cancelling my $150/year SiriusXM sub just b/c of it, but I do love the talk shows on there..
I have a bluetooth head unit and can connect my phone through that. I don't do that but if you want a wireless connection to your car that is by far the best way fm is always rubbish
Line-in connection is better than Bluetooth. But you're right that FM is worse.
My car doesn't have a tape player or an aux plug, so the only way to play music in my car is through a transmitter. Currently I have one for my iPod but I'd like to switch over to using it for my phone instead. Does anyone use one of these that can recommend a good one?
If im not mistaken but the usb ports on the evo have no audio going to it.
Just to let you know
i did a quick google search they are a ton of them that plug into the audio jack of the evo.
Doesn't the evo already have an fm transmitter in it..
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G.
yep it does, did somebody figure out how to exploit that and send music to a car radio, im gonna have to look around for that. it'll give me something to do!

Option 1 gives you more freedom to be wireless and mobile. But you have to keep it charged.
Option 2 means setting your phone somewhere is going to be awkward unless you have a windshield mount, in which case you're going to have 2 wires dangling off your phone/windshield while you drive. Pick your lesser of two evils, until someone releases an App that lets you transmit music straight to an FM signal from your phone itself (no 3rd party hardware required).
Last I read earlier this week...there is still discussion about whether it really is a transmitter. Then if it is...it is all broadcom and not open source drivers.
I just ordered one of these http://www.bestofferbuy.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&inc_subcat=1&search_in_description=1&categories_id=&keyword=3.5mm+Male+to+iPod%2FiPhone+2G%2F3G%2F3GS+Female+Adapter+Cable+-+Black+%2895CM-Length%29&x=0&y=0
I already had the fm transmitter from my iphone, so all i needed was a cheap little adapter. All it does is convert the ipod connecter to a 3.5 jack.
hope someone finds out how to exploit built in fm transmitter
Depending on where your auxiliary power plug is located...I like this concept. FM transmitter, phone holder & charges all in one. Seems like it gets very good reviews.

I bought that exact one from Target... and returned it the next day. Seems like EVERYTHING interferes, it doesn't let you go under FM88.1, the bass is horrifically BAD, and I get some really crappy signal distortion if my phone is charging while this is plugged in (WTF??)
What I ended up going with is a module that plugs into my XM receiver and gives me a 3.5mm TRS plug, which can either be plugged into my Zune or my phone (or anything...) without having to transmit that signal to a FM station... it's basically straight into the head unit. No more bass issues at all.
I know it isn't what the OP was looking for, but I was looking for something along the same path. I purchased a kit to add RCA inputs to my stock '03 cobra stereo and that worked wonderfully. I had a 3.5mm to rca cable plugged into it so I could listen to Pandora. I was reading about Bluetooth A2DP and was looking for a A2DP to RCA convertor. Found a nice little gem, the Motorola T605 hands free with A2DP. I'm going to order it next month and install it.

Looking for a good FM Transmitter, most of the reviews online I read show poor signal issues.
I love my jabra cruiser. The fm works really well and there are plenty of fm stations to choose from unlike some of the current models.

coby ca 745 fm transmitter...wont let me post link yet, i dont make enough posts to post a link yet apparently lol. you can find it on amazon for 20 bucks and works great. strong signal even on stations that arent entirely clear. extra accessory jack on top alittle loose is the only thing. but for 20 bucks you cant beat it. hope this helps
I highly recommend this one.
GOgroove FlexSMART X2 ADVANCED Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter with Charging, Music Control and Hands-Free Calling
(not allowed to post links yet)
It is $45 from amazon. A little expensive, but I use it everyday without issue. The hand-free calling is convenient.
If you don't like using bluetooth, you can hook it up with a normal audio (1/8") cable.
It also has a USB port so you can charge your phone at the same time.

In my experience... FM Transmitters work great if you live in a more rural area, with not so many radio stations...
In 2005, when I got my Pontiac G6 GT and it didn't have 3.5mm aux in, I had to get an FM Transmitter to listen to my mp3 player
Even living on the out skirts of Wilmington, DE (not the biggest city). I couldn't just get in the car, set it, and go. I couldn't get a clean frequency that was available everywhere I drove, and I would start hearing static and need to change the frequency the FM Transmitter was using in the car about every 10 or 15 minutes.
Even a belkin with "clearscan" (which is supposed to auto pick a "clean" frequency), and allowed me to step up/down .1 mhz increments didn't help.
It made using an FM transmitter completely useless.
Make sure of the return policy of where you purchase from just in case.
I agree with the above GoGroove suggestion. I love mine!
HTC is launching this with the Evo 4G LTE, it might be worth looking into as long as it supports Bluetooth 3.0 on release. Also, bluetooth is far superior to FM transmitters in terms of quality.

If you need an FM transmitter, then I *highly* suggest a *wired* transmitter. I used to use one in my Ford Explorer with my iPod - it connected to the back of the stereo between the head unit and the antenna (and drew power from the +12V line), and had a switch, so when you used it, it would cut off the car's antenna, so you couldn't get any outside interference even if you wanted to. It also had the best volume and sound, since it was broadcasting directly into the stereo.
the Doosl FM Transmitter Wireless was very easy to install and as a added surprise there's even USB port to charge my phone/ipod ect. built in to the unit. I was surprised how simple it was to get started playing my favorite tunes through my car stereo, Just plug the car charger into the cigarette lighter in your car and insert the AUX cable into your device's headphone jack, then select a clear frequency and thats it. the unit
features a backlit LCD that clearly displays station information even in low light and there are volume buttons on the transmitter, but I just keep it turned up and use the volume adjuster on my cars radio. i loved that the operation buttons are easy to read and simple to use. Best of all It is compatible with any brand smartphone, any brand tablet or any another mobile device with a 3.5mm AUX port. I own other more expensive FM transmitters and the sound quality of this unit is much much better.Unit is very small and fits in my pocket and stores in my glovebox for easy access. Specifications are:Effective Range: approx. 15ft / Frequency Range: 88.1-107.9MHz / Dimensions: 1.35*2.36*0.49 inches I was given this product for a fair and honest review and fulfilled that and unit gets a easy 5 stars for ease of use and price.
Package includes: 1 x Doosl FM Transmitter / 1 x Usage Manual and not mentioned in description is also a warranty card with email addresses ect.

:good: So easy to use: plug into car electric outlet or cigarette lighter outlet, and other wire into the 3.5 mm headphone jack of your audio device. Tune to a weak station in your area on both the transmitter and your vehicles radio. Start playing your music on your device. For me in Northeast Indiana, tuning to 100.7 gives me almost nothing(only a very tiny, almost unheard, amount of static in the background. Upon playing the music, this static is unheard completely, until you have silent breaks in between song tracks.
:good:There are volume buttons on the transmitter, but I just keep it turned up and use the volume adjuster on my trucks radio. Much easier than fiddling with the transmitter controller.
:good:There is a usb port built into the plug in of the transmitter. Although it takes up the electrical port/cigarette lighter of your vehicle, it does provide one so you can still charge anything with a usb cable.
I always want the RF to be stronger and clearer through the radio tuner,seems this is a great product.

yes its very clear, my crappy radio never sounded better.
I would definitely recommend because it's works great if you don't have an Aux port. An you don't get the static that you get with other ones. The sound quality is great.If anything happens to mine I will buy another.
Does it have a mic for calls??

I dont think so
If you have an old car without bluetooth or AUX and you wish you’d be able to listen to music from your phone in your car, then FM transmitters are a solution, and this is one of the best I’ve tried.
I’ve used several FM Transmitters before, and one like this one. With FM transmitter, you need to set the same radio station on both your radio and the transmitter, making sure the station is clean and not in use. This way, the device connects to the radio and you can listen to your music through it.
With this particular one, you also get bluetooth to connect to the device, so you don’t have to use a 3.5mm audio cable and instead get wireless connection to the device and radio. You can hook it up the car’s charging port, and it has a USB port so you can charger your gadgets with it.
This transmitter has a button that works as power and pairing. The LED light indicates when it is connected or in pairing mode. It also has buttons for skipping songs, a radio frequency rocker at the bottom, as well as a volume rocker at the top.
Usually FM transmitter do the job with some interference, but after a several days of testing, I still haven’t experienced any interference at all. The quality of the sound is almost as good as if it was hooked up directly to the radio with an audio cable.
The volume though was a little lower than with other non-FM Bluetooth transmitters, but that makes total sense.
If you're looking for something like this, you can get this one with $6 off using code ZK9M4UHZ, valid until May 31st.
