Not sure if this will work with a mobile?? I know mobiles tend interfere with the radio so probably this is not a good option.
Also in the manual it says you may have to retune your radio when you go to different areas, I would still like to know if anyone has used this.
Thanks

|
|
Ignoring, for the moment, that these types of devices are illegal to use in the UK (as far as I remember, they are viewed as pirate radio stations ), does anyone know of a device like this, that will produce the type of signal (RDS TA travel flag) that causes the broadcast Traffic Reports to cut into what you are listening to?
I've got a iPaq 5550 with very low volume audio output. At the moment I'm using a rather "Heath Robinson" arrangement with part of a cheap phone carkit that clamps over the iPaq speaker. This works OK unless I have the stereo up full blast, but needs a separate power supply. I'm looking for something that will allow me to listen to my preferred music and then cut in with directions.
Does anyone have experience with a car stereo that has a Front Panel Aux In socket? I'm presuming that this is designed for devices like iPods? Could this be used for directions? Do you select this as the Source i.e. listen to this constantly or does this cut in if a signal is present? |

Hi,
I found an interesting box (FastMute) which make it possible to connect ANY PDA to your car speakers(stereo).
No special radio required.
The box has a Mute-Generator (VOX) implemented.
In the moment (5ms later) the internal car speakers are switched off and the PDA sound comes amplified (9W Sin) to your car speakers.
There is only one 2 wire connection, from the ear phone jack to that box.
2 sec after the PDA sound has finished the speaker will be switched back (fall back) to your radio.
If you have a DIN loudspeaker connector just remove connectors from your radio and plug this box in between, connect to earphone output and power it, thats all.
Add On implemented for PDA MP3 users.
Autodetect for music. If the box is detecting music the fall back time will now be changed from 2s to now 15s. So no low volume music will cause any jitter in switching.
You can find this box here
http://www.fastmute.de/
The only problem is, that all informations are in German.
If there is some interest, I can translate the main items

Try looking at this to transfer sound to your radio.

I know this is nothing to do with TT5 etc, I run an Ipaq HP 2210 with TT5 and TT BT GPS.
How can I get it to play MP3 files - any help please
