FM transmitters
The Palm can be an excellent way to carry our music collection with you anywhere. With its large amount of storage space, either via an SD card or internal memory (such as the LifeDrive 4Gb), it is possible to carry hundreds of hours of music without having to carry another device that meets more this task. However, it is usually not able to connect our usual Palm to audio equipment of our car, limiting who share holders of other portable music players (iPod, Zen, etc).
Only the newer cars have a USB port where you connect our Palm loaded with music. What is normal to have a player / charger CDs, and if you have some time reader even cassette tapes. What do you do then?
Some cars come with an USB port for the audio system
The solution to listen to the music of our Palm in the car, and forget to load tapes or CDs, are the FM transmitters. These devices broadcast in FM music that we played Palm, as if it were a radio station more. So we have only tune into the radio of our car and problem solved. The device is connected to the car's cigarette lighter to get the power, and the headphone jack on the Palm for the music.
FM transmitter for the car
Clearly, the more hands may prefer to build your own FM station, following the instructions on this page.
Outline of the FM transmitter
The range of emission of these devices is a few meters, enough to reach our antenna but not to be taken as an illegal radio station (the radio spectrum is regulated, and FM radio operates at a frequency that is not free, unlike, for example, wifi). However, we will have to choose a frequency that is not already occupied by another string music, to avoid interference.
Something must be borne in mind is that the quality of the music is going to be the one that allows the transmission FM: sufficient but not comparable to a CD for example. FM modulation, as well as analog audio frequencies scraps extremely high or low, to accommodate the signal bandwidth allocated for the channel.
Although manufacturers often announce their producer as "compatible with iPod," or "compatible with the Treo," really culquier FM transmitter to use the headphone jack is compatible with our Palm. They connect to the device you want to use music through their taking of 3.5 mm, that of the speakers or headphones for a lifetime. Just have to take into account if we use a Treo, it comes with a 2.5 mm connector, so you have to buy an adapter plug from 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm, but it is not something that is difficult or expensive to get.
So I ended having to carry tapes or CDs all day.

A few months ago I made with one of these transmitters, yes, it's a brilliant idea to charge no more junk, but it is also true your comment, Mark, that the sound quality and "no interference" with other releases FM, mean that the quality is not as good as that propaganda would have us do.
Greetings,
I had (have) a transmitter for the iPod, and if you live in a fairly large city and you can cost-free emcontrar senyales where to locate our pioder released.
Above on long journeys by car, had to be constantly changing the radio station, if you go alone in the car is not recommended.
Finally, despite being very comfortable and wire-free pass to transmisorFM cassette with cable.
Now lei that can be transmitted via bluetooth. My radio does not allow it, but I'm thinking about catching one that allows it. They know something about it?
Greetings!
PS: Sorry for the mistakes, use keyboard USA
I have had two different transmitters (even came with different frequency range to select the best intonizara). I do not know if it is bad luck but the quality does not reach or FM.
Greetings.
The truth is that they are effective on certain occasions, but if you live in the city is not easy to find a free frequency.
To listen to city must remove the antenna of the car and put it in a place where I can get good sign.
Feature Proporta FM Transmitters
Bluetooth prove that mentioned above. I got him and I am going pretty well. You need a Bluetooth transmitter and a receiver, if the car is compatible bluetooth, one thing less. I have bluetooth stereo headphones (for those who bring a headphone socket, instead of the headphone cable and integrated into the device. And an "issuer" bluetooth as if the font you want to "pass" is not compatible bluetooth. That if On both sides of the transmission is a headphone socket (3.5 jack), which is usually the usual.
Incidentally, I also tried the FM transmitters, the frequencies of fixed and variable frequency tuning digital ... and the quality is worse than that of FM, which also had batteries and were not lasted long.
The transmission bluetooth I have is:
Issuer: Jabra A120s (lithium battery, 10 hours of music)
Receiver: JVC Headphones HAW700BT (lithium battery to 8 hours of music)
and if tienenes Mobile Bluetooth stereo, you can hear the music in the car, without requiring the issuer, in addition to answering calls from mobile, with hands-free. you just need to have the car audio input jack 3.5mm. Today almost every day brings entry auxliar by RCA, but there are adapters
Argentina are achieved in these devices?
Matute is achieved ... if only we must find .... Look at Open Market, or DeRemate ...
Are expensive in my town and also did not listen very well to say but at least salts of the muck.
ago just as I have a palm solamtmte have to find something else or appliances? digmae
