FM Transmitters
The Palm can be an excellent way to carry our music collection anywhere. With a lot of storage space, either through an SD card or internal memory (such as the LifeDrive 4GB), you may move hundreds of hours of music without having to carry another device with more satisfying this task. However, it is customary to connect our Palm's team of our car audio, limitation shared by other nuclear-portable music players (iPod, Zen, etc).
Only newer cars have a USB port which connect our Palm full of music. It is normal to have a player / CD charger, and if the car has a bit of time tape reader even cassette. What then?
Some cars come with a USB port for audio system
The solution to stream music from our Palm in the car, and forget to carry tapes or CDs are FM transmitters. These devices emit FM music in our Palm reproduced, like a wireless transmitter. Then we have only to tune the radio in our car and problem solved. The device plugs into the cigarette lighter socket of the car to get the power, headphone jack and the Palm to get the music.
FM Transmitter for Car
Of course the most hands may prefer to build their own FM station, following the instructions on this page.
FM Transmitter Schematic
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). That yes, we have to choose a frequency that is not already occupied by another chain of music, to avoid interference.
Something to consider is that the quality of music that will be the FM transmission lets you: enough but not comparable to a CD for example. FM modulation, in addition to analog audio frequencies discarded extremely high or low, to accommodate the signal bandwidth allocated for the channel.
Although manufacturers usually advertise their producer as "iPod compatible" or "compatible with Treo" really clad with any FM transmitter that uses the headphone jack is compatible with our Palm. Are connected to the stereo that we want to use through its 3.5-mm jack on the speakers or headphones of a lifetime. Only we must take into account if we use a Treo, this brings one 2.5 mm, so we'll have to buy an adapter from 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm, but not something that is expensive or difficult to achieve.
So he ended up having to carry CDs or tapes all day.

A few months ago I made one of these transmitters, it is a great idea to not load more stuff, but then there's your comment, Mark, that the sound quality and the "no interference" with other emissions FM, cause the quality is as good as the propaganda would have us see.
Greetings,
I had (have) a transmitter for the iPod, and if you live in a moderately large city can cost you and free senyal emcontrar Pioda locate where our broadcasting.
Up on long car trips, was to be constantly changing the station, if you're alone in the car is not recommended.
Finally, despite being very convenient, cable, switch the cable transmisorFM the cassette.
Now I read that can be transferred via bluetooth. My radio does not allow it, but I'm thinking to catch a permit. They know something about it?
Greetings!
PS: Sorry for the mistakes, use keyboard USA
I had two different transmitters (even came with different frequency range to which select intonizara better). Do not know if it's bad luck but the quality does not arrive or FM.
Greetings.
The truth is that they are effective at times, but if you live in town 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 you can get good signal.
Feature Proporta FM Transmitters
Try the Bluetooth that has been mentioned above. I have and I'm doing pretty well. You need a Bluetooth transmitter and a receiver, if the car radio supports bluetooth, one less thing. I have a bluetooth stereo headset (which come with a headphone jack, instead of the headphone cable integrated into the device. And an "issuer" bluetooth if the font that you want to "convey" does not support bluetooth. That if on both sides of the transmission there is a headphone jack (jack 3.5) is often the usual.
Incidentally, I also tried the FM transmitters, the fixed frequency and variable frequency digital tuning ... and the quality is worse than FM, which had also had 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)
and if tienenes Bluetooth stereo mobile phone, you can hear the music on the car radio, without the issuer, in addition to answering phone calls with hands-free. just need the car radio has input 3.5mm audio jack. today nearly everyone brings auxliar by RCA input, but there are adapters
They are available in Argentina these devices?
Miller if they get ... just have to look .... Look at Open Market or DeRemate ...
They are expensive in my city and besides not listen very well to say but salts of trouble at least.
