Built in Fm transmitter?

[Cocheese]

I have found an FM Transmitter that is about 1.5mm thick by 7mm x 7mm. I believe It would fit in my 3g, but is it possible to solder it or even program the phone to accept it?

No software support... don't bother.

[Cocheese]

Would it be possible or logical for someone with the know how?

the iphone already got an fm transmitter/reciever inside it's just disabled

[Cocheese]

Any way to enable it?

i havnt heard of that....

anywayz, as far as what ur talking about, there is no software support..meaning even if u do get it inside and connected to a power source, whats gonna run it? change frequencies ? unless its connected to the 30-pin dock connector and communicating with it, the only way i see this actually working is to cut a hole in the back of the case and control freq thru there..but that would be dumb

it's built into the broadcom chip so only the software part is missing, maybe apple enables it with os 4.0

" maybe apple enables it with os 4.0"

maybe, but it would probably get a ton of interference from all those flying pigs

If it is built in already built in, software would be possible. So why hasn't it been done? Seems like a great idea to me.

Why wait for apple, there are tons of brilliant devs who could prob figure it out,... I'm not a dev though.

[nemesit]

it's impossible as theres not even a private framework or something for it, you would have to try to build all the stuff from the lowest level yourself

I really hope 4.0 enables it

The hardware is there. Just needs an exploit in software. Just like bluetooth..it is there but underused at present
