    Has anyone ever thought of a FM transmitter for a app for the 9530 storm? Ive never seen one and would like to know if anyone knows of one that you can buy from the app store. My friend has one built into her new LG and thought if a stupid LG has one so should a BB! I have lots of music on my storm and would like to be able to play my music in my car without any hassle of a tape adapter or a aux jack.

    You mean receiver, not transmitter.

    And if you are looking fora true receiver then no, it isn't going to happen. But the software packages mentioned will certainly stream audio using your data plan.

    The storm (or any bb for that matter) lack the internal hardware to transmit fm signals. You cant write software for hardware that doesn't exist.

    The technology to do it exists. Bluetooth to visor mounted receiver what includes FM broadcast to in vehicle receiver.

    Motorola's T505 turns Bluetooth audio into FM

    FM transmitters are nothing new, and neither are devices that stream audio via the advanced A2DP profile. But we haven't een many devices that use both wireless technologies in the same application. That's exactly what Motorola's T505 does: As well as being a slick-looking in-car Bluetooth speakerphone, the visor-mounted T505 can be used to stream music from an A2DP device directly to the car stereo, without the need for the latter to be equipped with the advanced Bluetooth profile.

    It manages this feat with a digital FM transmitter, which searches frequencies in the FM range with the least noise to deliver the best audio output. The T505 will go on sale in the first quarter of 2008 with a price tag of around $139.

    An FM transmitter is hardware not software; LG has it, BlackBerry doesn't. The best you can do is get an FM transmitter accessory like the Motorola T505 (pricey) or Belkin TuneCast (less pricey).
