Wow! Great ideas guys. Love those FM modulators.

Just had to buy a new modulator (£3.99 form Ebay) that has an adjustable frequency as some stupid person has now started up a new radio station on the 107.7 mhz that my modultor is set at.... How inconsiderate!!
I only found out when I got near my work (40 miles from my home) as the new station is for that side of the country.

How rude!
My incar modulator is tuneable and my handheld belkin modulator has a four way selector, and all positions are relatively clear of broadcasts where I live.
The tuneable fm modulator is very useful when driving in country areas.

Nice Idea, one problem: I actually ordered a FM transmitter for my K750i before I reaslised this:
Modulator comes with onle USB port and 1 35mm Audio jack. We've now solved the problem of getting the phone to plug into the Audio jack with the HPM-70 headset which includes the adapter, and any of the cheapo 35mm adapters available on Ebay. But, pluggining one of those in means you can no longer use the USB cable for charging, which seems a real shame especially for long trips. The idea of playing music for a few hours then swapping cables and charging for a few hours isn't appealing at all. There are only two work arounds that I can think of: Making a hideous modification to a 35mm adapter and USB cable so both plug into the phone at the same time. I have no idea how this would be possible, if anyone has done it or has ideas please post.
The other, more viable solution is to connect a Bluetooth Audio adapter to plug into the 35mm audio jack on the FM Transmitter. Something like the HBM-30, although I'm not actually sure if that can play music from the phone. Still there are 3rd party adapters which do it.
The only problem with this is, there's a big debate in this thread:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=101790 as to whether stereo can be transmitted from the K750i via bluetooth.
Knowing if the HBM-30 can play stereo directly from the K750i (not its own memory) would solve both these problems, so if anyone knows please post!

very sorry to say, but the hbm-30 doesn't play music from the phone, only it's own music. Also, the K750 doesn't support stereo audio profile via bluetooth. The Bluetooth stereo audio profile is still pretty rare in phones.
However, the HBM-30 works well in that it is a headset for the phone, so if you use it's own music and plug it into the fm transmitter, the music is muted (and therefore the car stereo) when a call comes in (if BT connected to the phone as a headset). The mike is in the unit, so you have to hold the HBM-30 to your mouth to speak (or have it clipped to your collar).
Good news is, you can get a car charger for the K750 that has a pass through port so you can plug the car charger fast port connector into the phone, and plug a handsfree or music adapter into the back of the car charger connector.
Which is all well and good for the car, but I haven't found such a thing in a standard mains power charger...

That is terrible. For such a music oriented phone, who would not want to use bluetooth stereo?!! A2DP should be included. Maybe in a later firmware release?
Where can you get this car charger with pass-through port??
Is there USB cable with pass-though? this would be better for FM transmitter.

very few phones (if any) use the stereo bluetooth profile. It'll come, but it's certainly not a criticism of SE that the W800 has no stereo profile.
That's why they supplied a handsfree that you can plug your own headset into (or stereo/fm modulator). Bluetooth A2DP is no doubt still expensive to implement.
The pass through charger I got from a vodafone store in vodafone packaging. Maybe your local vodafone store will have it also?

For my work I test A2DP stuff. On my site you can find a complete and up to date list of all the phones and devices witch are compatible with A2DP (hi-fi stereo bluetooth).
