FM Transmitters
The Palm can be an excellent way to carry your music collection everywhere. With its large storage space, either through an SD card or internal memory (eg of the LifeDrive 4GB), can be transported hundreds of hours of music without having to carry another device to comply with this task. However, it is unusual to be able to connect our audio Palm of your car, share holders limitation other portable music players (iPod, Zen, etc).
Only newer cars have a USB port to plug in our Palm full of music. The normal thing is to have a player / CD changer, and if the car has some time even tape reader cassette . What to do then?
Some cars bring a USB port for the audio system
The solution to listen to music from our Palm in the car, and forget about carry tapes or CDs, are FM transmitters. They emit FM music our reproduced Palm, like a radio station anymore. So we have only to tune the radio in our car and problem solved. The device is connected to the car cigarette lighter socket for power, and the headphone jack on the Palm to get music.
FM Transmitter for car
Of course, the more hands may prefer to build your own FM station, following the instructions on this page .
FM Transmitter Scheme
The emission range of these devices is a few meters, enough to reach our antenna but not so that it can be taken as an illegal radio station (radio spectrum is regulated, and FM radio operates at a frequency that is not free, in contrast, for example, WiFi). Yes, we have to choose a frequency that is not already occupied by another chain of music, to avoid interference.
One thing to note is that the quality of the music will be the one that allows FM transmission: enough but not comparable for example to a CD. FM modulation, besides being analog audio frequencies disposed extremely high or low signal to accommodate the bandwidth allocated to the channel.
Although manufacturers often advertise their producer as "iPod compatible" or "compatible with Treo" really Culqui FM transmitter that uses the headphone jack is compatible with our Palm. They connect to stereo we want to use via its 3.5 mm jack, the speakers or headphones for a lifetime. Just have to keep in mind, if you use a Treo, it brings a 2.5mm jack, so you have to buy an adapter from 2.5mm to 3.5 mm, but not something that is expensive or difficult to get.
So he ended up having to carry CDs or tapes all day.

A few months ago I have done with one of these transmitters, yes, it is a great idea not to carry more stuff, although it is true your comment, Mark, that the sound quality and the "non-interference" with other emissions FM, make the quality not as good as that propaganda would have us see.
Regards,
I had (I have) a transmitter for the iPod, and if you live in a moderately large city and can cost emcontrar free senyales where pioder locate our broadcasting.
Up on long car trips, was to be constantly changing the radio station, if you're alone in the car is not recommended.
Finally, despite being very comfortable and wirelessly, skip the cable transmisorFM to Cassette.
Now I read that can be transmitted via bluetooth. My radio does not allow it, but I'm thinking catch one that allows it. Know anything about it?
Greetings!
PD: Sorry for the mistakes, use keyboard USA
I've had two different transmitters (even came with different frequency range to select the one that best intonizara). Do not know if it's bad luck but the quality is not even FM.
Greetings.
The truth is that they are effective at times, but if you live in town is not easy to find a clear frequency.
To listen to city must remove the antenna from the car and place it in a place where I can get good signal.
FM Transmitters Feature Proporta
Prove the Bluetooth has been mentioned above. I have it and I'm doing pretty well. You need a bluetooth transmitter and receiver, if the radio is compatible bluetooth, one less thing. I have a stereo bluetooth headphones (for those who bring a headphone jack instead of the headphone cable and integrated in the device. And a "sending" the source bluetooth if you want "transmit" is not compatible bluetooth. That if , on both sides of the transmission there is a headphone connector (jack 3.5) which is usually regular.
By the way, I also tried the FM transmitters, the fixed frequency and variable frequency digital tuning ... and the quality is worse than FM, and those who had were batteries and did not last long.
Bluetooth transmission I have is:
Issuer: Jabra A120s (lithium battery, 10 hours of music)
Receiver: JVC Headphones HAW700BT (lithium battery 8 hours of music)
