Thought the new Nokia N9 was going to give me everything I wanted in a phone, particularly 64gb memory for my music collection (10,000 songs). So I could finally say goodbye to having my nokia phone and also carrying my 120 gb ipod for my music. However I note there is no FM transmitter in the phone so I cannot use a N9 in my car as my music source to play via my radio. So unfortunately the N9 just misses on being my perfect phone, seems I will just need to keep looking or wait until Nokia produce a better phone or for Nokia to just add a FM transmitter to the N9
The fm-transmitter is something that I use every single day on my way to work. Instead of burning CD's, using BT or Aux. The FM-transmitter is the simplest solution, and it spreads my music across ANY radio in ANY car.Here in Norway we are phasing out the FM network so it can be replaced by DAB in 7-9 years time. Then think of all the FM-cars that would need a phone like the N900 or N8 to keep the noise flowing.I recently bought the N9 because of false advertising by sites like GSMarena claiming there was an transmitter there and only software were needed.I still have 1 week before my refund-guarantee runs out on the N9. If I don't figure anything out on the transmitter, It's being shipped back and N9 becomes my last Nokia phone.
after updating to symbian anna my fm transmitter stops working... i tried to reinnstall the software then also its not working.what should i suppose to do???
Have had my N8 for well over a year now, and made frequent use (almost Daily in the Car) of the FM Transmitter feature, today this appears to have been somehow Disabled, with the widget being removed from the menus, when trying to activate from the menus I get the message 'Feature Not Supported'.
I currently have an N86 which is pretty good as far as i'm concerned. The only things i can fault it on are a rather flaky operating system which tends to crash a bit too often and a very fragile screen cover, but for the most part i can live with these issues.I'm currently due for an upgrade on my contract and would like something that does much the same as the N86 does, but the sticking point is the FM Transmitter function (referred to as "Play by Radio" on some handsets) which i use a lot. Neither Nokia nor any third party seems to produce a list of current handsets which has this functionality built in, perhaps because its use is restricted in some territories and thus varies.
I am a fan of Internet Radio and love the FM transmitter (Play via Radio) built into the N8. The best thing is that one can use both at the same time to transmit an internet radio stream to an FM radio!
One bad day I decided to follow the highlighted Nokia remark urging me to update the Internet Radio software..... I have Anna installed and Anna update 2/2 includes IR version 3.03. The download and installation via Nokia Store went smooth and version 3.04 was up and running soon.
Side-remark 1: how can one see on store.ovi.com which SW version is being offered? I can only see version information using the nokia store app on the phone. Displaying the version in the on-line store would be very helpful!
Side-remark 2: the IR version on offer through the nokia store app is 3.4.0. After installation it states version 3.04..... I found this very confusing. Is this a regular numbering convention for Nokia?
Side-remark 3: did anyone see any differences between 3.03 and 3.04? Both look very much alike! What is the reason for going from 3.03 to 3.04? I do think that 3.03 could be looking a lot better!
With version 3.04 up and running, I decided to start the FM transmitter. The very moment you press the on button the radio stream stops. In the widget for internet radio, the play symbol is now visible. Pressing it to turn the stream back on, the music plays for a fraction of a second before the stream is again stopped. No matter what I tried, I cannot use the FM transmitter together with the Internet Radio 3.04 app.
I searched the internet for the 3.03 version and re-installed it after removing 3.04. Fortunately I can now again run the Internet Radio and the FM transmitter at the same time Is there a solution for this? Why Nokia doesn't test such basic things before releasing the update?
In Ovi Maps software the voice instrucions no longer get played over the FM transmitter. What happens is, the music goes silent on the FM, the voice instruction and the music is played on the phone speakers (or Bluetooth device, if connected), then at the completion of the instruction the music goes back through the FM transmitter again.
I have just upgraded from nokia maps 2.0 to version 3.0. Prior to this if i had my music playing and the sat nav giving me voice directions over the fm transmitter in my car the music would be stoppped while the voice read out the instruction over the radio speakers, this would then revert to the music playing over the fm transmitter again, oh how perfect it was. Now unfortunatley after upgrading to nokia maps 3.0 when my sat nav decieds to give me verbal instructions all sound is taken from the fm transmitter and comes from the phones internal speaker (not via my car stereo) and to top it all of it doesnt even shut down the music that is playing so i have to try and decipher the sat nav instruction over the music, is anybody else having this problem or is it just me and more to the point how do i fix i
I don't know if this topic was already discussed here. I didn't find it.If I have activate the fm-transmitter in my car and nokia maps is running as well, the output of the music comes over the radio, but the output voice of nokia maps comes over the phone. If any advise comes from nokia maps, the connections interrupt via fm-transmitter completly.During the time of the nokia maps advise both, music and nokia maps, sending the sound via phone. Is there any possibility to avoid that problem?
I have aN79 and use the fm transmitter to play mp3's loaded on it via my car radio system.When using nokia maps at the same time the transmitter is turned off when a voice comand comes from Nokia maps then when it is finnished it comes back on again.
Why can't/arn't the comands transmitted to the car system the same as the mp3's as they continue to play from the phone as the comands are deliveried.
Is this as good as it gets or can you get it to work with the transmitter?
I'm wondering if it would be possible to customize the FM-transmitter for the N86 with RDS, so it also sends the artist and title of the song being played to the FM-receiver used? Now it only sends "Nokia", but that means there must be a function for the "sending part".Had a SonyEricsson W980i before and it had this function. It's not a must, but is really neat when using the FM-transmitter in the car. Nokia doesn't want to be worse than SE, does it?
Nokia X7 brings music, games and videos to life on the massive 4 inches touch screen - sounds good - and I am very interested in this phone, but I can not find any information on an internal FM Transmitter in the manual...
- Has Nokia forgotten about this very very requested feature in this "Big Entertainment" Phone?
- Would the FM trasnmitter Software from C7 work on a X7?
I have a Ford Ranger, fitted with a Nokia CK 7W. I have a Nokia N96 and this has worked brilliantly with the CK 7W since I purchased the vehicle in October. I have recently bought a high end ipod transmitter and used it since Christmas and very impressed with the permormance, and had no problems.Last week the vehicle went in to have towbar electrics wired in and since then I have had problems, I believe with the car kit. The handsfree works wonderfully over bluetooth, and the radio functions fine. However when I use the ipod transmitter, I get a beep every 30-60 seconds from the carkit through the radio. I have tried switching off the bluetooth so I know my phone isnt connecting, and tried it connected. Still the same beep. Is there any chance the transmitter is affecting the car kit? And why would this have changed since the work, would it be to do with the battery being disconnected and the car kit needing a reboot of some kind?
my fm transmitter is disabled but in my country fm transmitter is LEGAl? what should i do??? any patch or something like that?? I NEED my fm transmitter.
I'm new here and i would like to know if anyone got the same problem as me. i received a new phone after having a problem with the older, i received it with the PR1.2. until that i was abble to listen music on any radio device but now it's impossible, the transmitter actually work, when i check activating the sound stop on my phone but i got nothing on my radio, i tried to boost the frequency but still nothing, anyone have an idea about what happen?
I would like a fresh update on the your experience with N97, after la latest updates.
I am considering to buy a N97 phone, because is the only smartphone that could the following, ordered by priority:
A. Mandatory
1. simbian + gps + garmin mobile on N97 (i will install)
2. touchscreen + large screen 3,5" + good res
3. WiFi + full qwerty keyboard
4. FM + transmitter
5. bluetooth
B. Not as mandatory , but neither optional
6. Good video/photo camera + geotagging
7. large memory 32GB
C. Optional
8. battery has a good cpacity
9. 3,5 jack
I am looking forward to N97, and not mini N97 because the mini ver,doesn't have 32gb and screen is smaller 0,3" and no fm transmitter.
I took in consideration even the iphone, but the main problem is garmin, because is not available for iphone. And secondly, I want simbian, because I will use diferent software without paying/unlocking.
I am looking toward a used with warranty <4months N97 => cheaper > 40% , brand new is too expensive.
I need FM Transmitter software for NOKIA E72. i has the hardware but no software.know if there is any possibilty for FM Transmitter software for NOKIA E72.
I have a Nokia 5800 and Nokia BH-212 bluetooth headset. Is it possible to play music when driving using an FM transmitter plugged in to the headphone socket on the phone, to play through the car stereo speakers, and to use the headset to kick in in case someone calls whilst I'm driving and listening to music? I'm getting the music through the bluetooth thing.

Well my factory fitted car sterio is playing up and i'm looking at getting a replacement. before getting a N8, having bluetooth for streaming music in-car seemed like a good idea but now I have the ability to stream music via FM, is it worth getting a bluetooth enabled head unit? is the sound quality and different?
