Polaris send audio to radio. - Touch Cruise Accessories

Does anyone know if you can buy something that plugs into the polaris so that it transmits audio over radio waves that can be picked up by my car radio.
I want to listen to my music and audiobooks in the car but can't! A mate had a thing that he plugged into his ipod and he tuned the radio so that we can listen to ipod tunes.
Thanks!

That's a personal FM transmitter, found everywhere, you connect any audio source (ipod/TouchCruise/etc) to it then you can use your fav FM radio to listen, now about TouchCruise, you may need an ExtUSB to 3.5mm jack converter to connect both.

ahh, nice one. Its so easy to find stuff when you know the proper name. £11 from ebay.

First: look here XDA decent FM transmitter for Cruise
Second: buy Venturi mini on ebay for around 40-45 pounds

play mp3's in the car

Hi. im using a car kit that connects the cassete to a 3.5mm jack and a converter to a 2.5mm jack to my MDA. I hate the quality of the sound. I have to turn the music up way up. almost near maximum both in the phone and the car stereo. Is there any way that I can hook my MDA to my car to play mp3's without diminished quality??? id really appreciate any help.
thanks in advance
Bryan
What software are you playing the files with? Use GSPlayer or TCPMP over the built in WMP (the sound quality is far greater with those programs).
yeah im using wm5... i dont think it has anything to do with the software. im thinkin it has something to do with the headset jack bein 2.5mm. i own an n-gage too and it has the same kind of jack. same kind of results. really poor quality. but when you use the earphones/headphones, the quality is really good. can someone confirm this?
well things seem to be going well for me today. fixed 2 problems with my MDA today :lol:
anyway, figured out the loss of quality when i hooked my MDA to with a cassette adapter and a 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack was not because of any of the accessory defect and not a phone defect... it all trailed back the my cassette player in the car. figures tho... the tape deck probably has never been used in 6 years :lol:
just cleaned it up with a cassette cleaner... TADA! clear music. although i need to run it a couple more time theres some interference going on. probably needs more cleaning. cheers!

What kind of car radio do you have??
Sometimes (also with the older car hifi) on the back you have an IP bus or some connector to the cd changer.
You can buy connectors (ebay) brom this ipbus to the 2,5 jack (or3,5)
I have my pioneer ipbus directly connected to my Magician. Works perfect with no loss of quality
I had trouble finding a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter that worked reliably, so this is what I did.
I bought a Globalsat GBH-820 BT adapter, which supports A2DP and AVRCP, and has a 3.5mm jack. So, I just plug in the 3.5mm plug from my cassette adapter, activate the "Wireless Stereo" profile for the GBH-820, and viola, music in my car from my 8125!
The sound quality is better using TCPMP, since I can use the equalizer to add bass and cut out some high-end hiss. However, the AVRCP functions don't work with TCPMP. They do work with WMP.
Is the quality as good as a CD player, or even using actual cassettes, would be? Probably not, but it's nicer having a wider range of music available to listen to in the car, and not having to tote CDs or tapes around in the car. And, makes it a little easier to keep hanging on to my 10yr old Q45 for another couple of years.

i have a stock car radio. hmmm i actually thought about that. but i was thinkin, it would be kinda messy to install that by myself? i mean wires all over the place. i kinda want to keep my car as clean lookin as possible. i was actually thinkin of letting a professional do it for me instead, but i see negatives from it.
1. gotta pay about $100 for installation or so. plus the converter. (vs $20 at most for the casette deck adapter. just borrowed what my bro uses for his ipod)
2. wouldnt that mean that i'll lose the function of my cd changer? i know i wouldnt actually need it once i got it running but then again, it still would be nice to have one.
and 2 good things:
1, better quality
2. more space in my glove compartment. :lol: cd changer is located there.
i got question tho. since you replaced the cd changer, when you play music, do you play music through the cd option?
I saw this the other day at a local car audio store. I hear it works great. It's a bluetooth Pioneer deck. Here is the link.

It depends what type of car you have, but you can tap directly into the AUX of your car and transfer audio through headphone jack.
I did it on TL http://www.fperkins.com/AudioinputandAudiovox6600installina2006AcuraTL.html
Why not use an FM transmitter device?

Do you have to use a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter? If so, which one do you use?
Yep I use an adapter I picked up at Radio Shack.

FM transmitter for TyTN

Hi,
My Vario II justification to the misses was that we'd be able to listen to music in the car with it (our CD player is dead).
Has anyone come across an FM transmitter that you can power from the car cigar lighter and plug directly into the mini usb socket on the TyTN?
Cheers,
Steve.
I'm looking for the same thing
I bought a SONY MEX5000 BT stereo that uses Bluetooth streaming. It is so cool! much better quality(sound) then the radio ones. I dont carry CDs anymore just everything over BT with MP3s.

and how to connect ?
--> no way @ this moment ...
Try Nokia HS-12W. Google to see how it looks like.
It is a bluetooth Stereo Headset which you can listen to MP3 played from Tytn.
It is also a standalone FM Radio by itself without the Tytn at all.
I have one, cool.
Hi and is there a bluetooth receiver taht one can plug into a stereo ?
HS-12W is a Wireless (no wire between it and phone) Stereo Headphone via Bluetooth with Build in FM Radio.
What I meant about the bluetooth reciever is if there is one that tha pda streams music and is recieved by a device that can be plugged into the home stereo, same principle as a headset only differance is that it'll go to speakers.....hop I made it clearer this time... or maybe it's that I am not gettin it jaja
You are refering to Home Stereo Hi-Fi Amplifier/Receiver to speakers. Well it is something I was thinking about some years ago when I first read the white paper on Bluetooth v2.0 A2DP Profile.
But Hi-Fi industry in term of following latest trend is normally a little slower than the computer & mobile industry. So far, not that I know of that there is a build in Bluetooth Hi-Fi system including speakers. Maybe it is time to do a google on this topic, it would be good if there is such solution to get rid of the messy wire connections.
I do know that there is such thing as Bluetooth Donger, which is a bluetooth device with a headphone jack and you can plug the headphone jack into the Hi-Fi headphone jack and bingo you have wireless music with you wireless headphone, but bluetooth is quite subject to surrounding interfence, so you may have broken music in your ears.
The is also some not so good old technology using Infra-Red. The better ones are the wireless headphone sets using RF frequency which you can listen to music even you and your hi-fi are in different room.
Hope I got your question right this time.
Hey CWKJ,
Thanx for your reply. Look at the following link:
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=130588
It's a bluetooth speaker, but what I am looking for is something that can make any car home stereo into a bluetooth reciever...
You mean something like the Tunestage II for the iPOD?
http://www.techdigest.tv/2006/10/belkins_tunesta.html
I'm looking for something similar that will plug into a car stereo - i.e. a bluetooth receiver which will plug into the external input of my car stereo, so I can stream to it from my TyTN - anyone know of anything?
PS Yes, I have seen the Parrot MK6000, but I don't think its out until Q1 2007....
BINGO!! Yes like this, only that you don't need the transmitter (tytyn would be it!).
check out the I-Tech S35 clip. A2DP receiver with a 5mm headset jack. You can cable this to your car with an adaptor cable. The I-Tech doesn't skip either!
Yes! this seems to work! jajaj do you actually use it? or know of someone that has used it with this purpose?
Once again thank you for your responses!
I've not used it myself for this purpose. I've no doubt that it will work though. What I am interested in is the usable range. The applicaton I have in mind will require 4-5 meter range from the I-Tech device to my TyTN.

Ok, you are talking about car hi-fi system, the speaker looks good.
For Home hi-fi system, maybe there isn't bluetooth audiophile speaker yet.
For the car hi-fi system, there are some with the audio output (the Left - Right or White - Red cable build-in type audio output cable). Buy another cable adaptor (Left - Right/White - Red to stereo headphone cable) and the Bluetooth Donger, connect them up and you will have the audio on you bluetooth speaker. Hope this works!
Hey! look at this:

I already found some for sale in ebay!! wow!

Stream Music From Hero To Car Radio?

Is this possible? I want to be able to stream like pandora or my MP3's to my car radio. My car radio sux and doesnt have an input jack...nor bluetooth..its an older 2000 alero
Normally I'd buy an FM transmitter to stereo jack piece of hardware..but I thought maybe check with you guys first to see if its possible to wireless transmit my music to the car radio.
Maybe I do need an FM Transmitter tho eh?
unless your car has bluetooth, then yeh you need a transmitter...
ps, i recently purchased a garmin touch screen gps with an fm transmitter and an sd card slot, so i just put my micro sd in an sd card adapter and into the gps and stream to the car radio!
i guess this would be useful if you have something like this or are looking to purchase a gps unit
Buy a cheap Bluetooth stereo, they don't cost much and it all get that much better and easier.
this is what you want....
Motorola T505. I have one and love it!

HHI all in one fm transmitter car cradle

Seems that i cant post the URL so just go to handhelditems.com and search for all in one fm transmitter

Streaming music wirelessly from phone to car stereo

My car does not have an aux port for the simple solution, so about a year ago I reluctantly invested in this guy:
http://www.amazon.com/FlexSMART-Transmitter-Hands-Free-Blackberry-Smartphones/dp/B003PPGOC0
I've used countless wireless transmitters in the past and they were all garbage. You'd have to have the phone right up against the radio, and even then it wasn't that clear. This is by far the best product I've used for the purpose. You can connect via bluetooth or even a 3.5mm headphone port(cable included) on the side. My phone doesn't have to be anywhere NEAR the unit for it to work perfectly. It also comes with a microusb cable that plugs directly into a usb port on the unit, to charge while it plays. I highly recommend this product.
motorola roadster
I use the motorola roadster.
You can find an OEM version for about ~ $40 if you google search for it.
I use it along with voice command. You touch a button on the speaker phone and my S2 lights up and asks for a command. Ofcourse it also has FM transmitter mode and it has a play/pause button, though it doesn't seem to work with the stock music player, but the play/pause works with Winamp.
Not as nice as the bluetooth built into my wife's 2012 murano radio but on my older 2002 pathfinder this works great.
Thats cool. Does it matter how you set a station? Does it have static like regular "transmitters" ? I used to use/try one with my zune, and it was awful.
My friend plugged his in with an AUX jack (from top of phone into car radio) and it played stereo/cd quality
My car doesn't have an aux jack but I think it can be done for 20-40$? maybe
with the motorola roadster how do you set the fm transmitter?
I'll be honest with you - I've never seen an FM transmitter that wasn't horrible.
I'd invest in a new headunit (with an aux input, or MAYBE bluetooth if you must have wireless) and a wiring harness adapter kit over any FM transmitter, any day of the week.
I'm in the same boat as the OP, my car doesn't even support an aftermarket stereo due to the Bose/HUD integration and I got the FlexSmart and love it as well. Would certainly recommend to anyone.
I'm with Edgarhighman . How's the audio quality? Any static?

I'm thinking I'll DIY aux input or have a store down the street do it
I'm not yet fond of splicing, soldering, or using a heat gun =/
VERY minimal static. Nothing that is even close to hindering the experience.
