Play Pocket PC/Smartphone Music through Your Car Stereo

摘要

Roadmaster USA (roadmasterusa.com) recently announced the availability of its VRFM series of "FM Modulators." These devices plug into your car's cigarette lighter and allow you to play music or audio from the Pocket PC or another portable music player through your car's FM radio. There are six devices in this series, varying in price and features. I tested the top-of-the-line VRFM9 (MSRP: $69.99) with my Dell Axim X51v Pocket PC. (You can also use Smartphones and portable CD or MP3 players.) The FM Modulator draws its power from your car's battery through the cigarette lighter. Simply plug it into the cigarette lighter, connect your Pocket PC or portable media player to the device using the audio connectivity cable that comes with the Modulator, tune your FM radio and the device to an unused FM frequency, and you're ready to go. (Note: The audio cable that ships with the device has a 2.5mm stereo plug on one end and a 3.5mm stereo plug on the other.
