htc desire fm transmitter

[Guest jazz5000]

Is there any way to get the desire to transmit audio over fm?

I would think not without any hardware additions. None of the radio features are even close to the FM band. So you would need a gadget that plugs into the 3,5mm jack and handles the transmission.

Like psych0t1c already wrote, the Desire is not capable of transmitting FM signals.

But I guess you want to use your Desire in your car?

If so, there are plenty of possibilities (using external devices).

- If your car audio has an AUX-in, you could use it

- You can buy a FM-Transmitter (cheap ones costs about 20€, sometimes less). There are some to plug in to the cigarette ligher plug, others may be able to use a battery or power plug (so you can use it at home, too)

- There are devices that simulate a CD changer. If your car supports a CD changer you could use one of those devices. They offer you plenty of possibilities.

E.g. AUX-In (3.5mm Line In) or USB, i Think BlueTooth is possible, too.

They are a bit expensive (50-200 €) depending on the features but you can get them really really cheap on ebay (look for "cd changer usb" or something)

Just before I got my Desire I asked the same question on Twitter and got a fast response direct from HTC that said "Yes, Desire does a FM Transmitter" (Link) - I was somewhat disappointed when I found out that was a lie. :-/

The answer sounds a bit strange, maybe it is a translation error.

Maybe he means that the Desire does have a FM Receiver ...

Or maybe it REALLY has a transmitter but then, why there is no software to use it?!
