FM Transmitter for IPHONE

I have a FM Transmitter for my Ipod and am wondering if there is any reason I can not use it for my IPHONE. It is a Kensington model# K33185. It fits into the port on the bottom of my phone but I am more concerned if the fact that it also acts as a battery charger would cause any damage to my iphone battery. Has anyone heard if there are any issues with this?
Thanks

Mainly it might not charge the battery in the 3GS.

  • Is there a car charger and fm frequency transmitter for iPhone with IOS6?

    is there a car charger and fm frequency transmitter for iPhone with IOS6?

    Here is something interesting about car chargers and the iPhone 3G:
    From Macworld:
    On to the power adapters. Here’s the story: We learned a while back that iPhone 3G doesn’t support charging “via FireWire.” The thing is, there are lots of devices out there that don’t actually have a FireWire port, but are technically FireWire chargers because they’re sending power on the dock-connector pins that were used for power by the FireWire interface. There are a lot of reasons for this, chief among them the fact that the FireWire spec allows as much a 18 volts, while USB is a 5-volt connection. Since cars provide 12 volts of power, many if not most car-chargers used the FireWire method to send power.
    However, in the interests of space and simplicity (i.e., not having to engineer for two separate power paths), Apple has dropped support for FireWire charging with the iPhone 3G. This means that many accessories won’t charge an iPhone 3G. Borchers said that Apple gave accessory developers a strong hint that this was going to happen a while ago, but he said that some companies have continued to implement FireWire-based chargers despite the warning.
    But there’s some hope in sight: Borchers told me that at least a couple of third parties will be releasing converters that will pass through the dock connection, but convert the power to a USB standard. That adapter may make many of those charging devices come back to life

  • Anyone make a portable FM transmitter for iPhone?

    I'm looking for a clip on the bottom FM transmitter that is portable. Not interested in one that works through the car with a cigarette lighter adapter. Anyone make one that has an iPhone form factor?

    Its called the iCarPlay http://www.monstercable.com/computer/productPageComputer.asp?pin=2084
    It's pretty simple theres 8 preset stations you can use, there is always at least one that comes through clearly, It works great for me, but it depends more on where you live.

  • FM transmitter for iPhone 5?

    Are there any available yet? I can't find any. When could some start becoming available?

    i'm also having trouble finding one, i'm seriously considering just buying one of the ones that plug into the headphone jack instead of the dock connector, not ideal but they are fairly cheap and will do the job until some official iphone 5 fm transmitters are released.

  • FM Transmitter for iPhone 4?

    I have an older car ('92) that does not have a working cigarette lighter, or the 12 volt port. Is there something available to me that I can use to stream my music through my radio?
    Also, the radio is newer, but no bells and whistles, so no USB port or anything.
    Thanks!

  • Best iPhone transmitter for car

    Anyone have any expiernece w/ a iPhone transmitter for your car? I have a old Monster one that I like for my iPod but it does not charge my iPhone so time for an upgrade. My buddy has a Belkin one but that *****.
    Thanks in advance

    I use a Harmon Kardon kit. Runs around 150 when I got it. Come with a nice pod control device and a LCD display to show what songs are playing on the iPod. This allow you to control your iPod and still look at the road.
    It does both transmission and aux plugin. You can choose which one you want to use. I tried both and the aux plugin is much higher quality then a transmitted one.

  • FM Adaptor for iPhone

    I have a FM transmitter for my iPod that works very well in my auto but will not work with my iPhone. Is there a model that will work with the iPhone?

    There are a lot out there, I found this doing a search through google. (iPhone FM transmitter)

  • Igrip holder for iphone in car

    I've been wanting something to hold my iphone while I drive in a place where I could see the screen and be able to tap the buttons to make calls and also control the ipod functions. When I call I use my Jawbone so I'm hands free there and I attach to the AUX input on my stereo to hear the ipod.
    What I wanted was one that attached to the cigarette lighter/aux power plug and had a rigid bendable arm so the iphone would be right there beside the steering wheel facing me. The only ones I could find (Griffin mostly) were the fm transmitter types for the ipod and I hate those and want to use the AUX input for the ipod.
    I FINALLY found one made by Igrip that is exactly what I was talking about. The only weird drawback is that even though it does mount in the cig lighter/aux power plug - - it does not function as a charger for the iphone. But I have a seperate car charger so that's okay. I would post a link or pics but I have no idea how to do it. Google search igrip auto mount for iphone and you'll find it. They make a custom fit and a universal that both work with iphone. I went with the universal I use the agent 18 case and I think it will fit better without having to remove the case. 20 bucks on several sites.

    Hi Julian,
    I have the Belkin and while it works faultlessly with all the family iPods and my iPod touch, when I connect my new iPhone3G it complains that the accessory was not designed to work with it.
    After I cancel that message it does work, but there isn't a specific cradle adaptor supplied to hold it securely in place, unlike for the iPods.
    I have no experience with the Griffin.

    Yes it does, the iPhone 4 had this feature but when the iPhone 4S was originally launched it did not. After upgrading to iOS 6 you can now turn off 3G and therefore just use 2G. This saves battery life and can also help with ensuring a more reliable connection in areas with poor 3G coverage (i.e. the whole of the UK ).
    You can access this option by going to Settings - General - Mobile Data and then turning Enable 3G to off. Depsite the accompanying text implying it relates to only data this does complete turn off 3G mode since both voice and data use the same transmitter.

  • What is the best FM transmitter for a car?

    Hi, i want an FM transmitter for my iphone 4 so ic an listen to the songs through my car speakers. I would like one with a stand (must be strong though). Which is the best one to get? Im new to all this iphone life!

    I don't know where you live, but if you live anywhere near a city of any size, you won't find any that work decently. There's simply too much interference, you will be disappointed. If you want to get something that works, get a direct connect kit from any aftermarket stereo shop, you'll be glad you did.

  • Suggesttions for iPhone SOFTWARE upgrade (v1.1 possibly?)

    Suggestions for iPhone software upgrade (v1.1)
    •Better compatibility
    oOne thing that I believe is very important would be better compatibility with existing iPod products. I’m going to have to find a new FM transmitter/charger and new alarm clock/radio so that my iPhone will work on them, not to mention in my sister’s and girlfriend’s cars, the stereo adapter won’t play music from the iPhone over the radio or even charge the iPhone.
    •Bluetooth Data Transfer
    oIt would be nice to be able to transfer pictures, music, ring tones and such between my iPhone and computer or my iPhone and another phone via Bluetooth
    •File transfer through media message
    oNot everyone can access email on their phones, it would be nice to be able to send a picture or sound file as a media message to someone.
    •Music used as ring tones
    oI think everyone was expecting to somehow be able to use their songs or part of a song as a ring tone for incoming calls and messages. This would be an amazing addition to the iPhone
    •Keyboard sideways on texts and notes also
    oI have large hands and I’m sure many people do, so it would be easier if you could turn your phone sideways and type text messages and notes with the larger keyboard
    •Save pictures from the internet
    oIt would be great if I could somehow save photos directly from my web browser on my iPhone to the iPhones memory without have to do it on my computer like a middle man or something.
    •Recording
    oA voice recorder would be great, it would really help the iPhone expand into the college and business areas.
    •Flash, java, and macromedia support
    oThe internet browser is great but lacks one thing, support for such things as flash, java and macromedia applications such as moving images or internet radio.
    •Copy and paste text
    oThere’s been several times that I’ve wished I could just copy a text and send it to multiple people or resend it to the same person or something without having to completely retype it.
    •Deeper Customization
    oEverything I about customization now days, it would be cool if you could figure out a way to have more customization such as different themes and animations
    •Photos
    oSome kind of zoom and on phone picture editing would be nice, especially the zoom, but not necessary.
    •More Apps
    oI know that these are in the works but more downloadable widgets and games would be cool

    The device is a phone and an iPod. There may be interference issues with older iPod accessories. Apple is working on a line of "Made for iPhone" accessories. The phone isn't even 2 weeks old, unfortunately you're going to have to hold your horses on this one.
    •Bluetooth Data Transfer
    oIt would be nice to be able to transfer
    pictures, music, ring tones and such between my
    iPhone and computer or my iPhone and another phone
    via Bluetooth
    This all would be pretty slow, but I think what would be reasonable is to allow all of your:
    Contacts
    Calendars
    E-Mail
    to all be synced via bluetooth OR WiFi by your .Mac Account
    I think songs and videos would take forever.
    •File transfer through media message
    oNot everyone can access email on their phones,
    it would be nice to be able to send a picture or
    sound file as a media message to someone.
    I'm not confident that this will definitely be supported, but considering AT&T's reputation, I think it will be supported with a software update
    •Music used as ring tones
    oI think everyone was expecting to somehow be
    able to use their songs or part of a song as a ring
    tone for incoming calls and messages. This would be
    an amazing addition to the iPhone
    It sure would be; I think we can expect this feature in the first software update. After all the WWDC keynote had a tab for "ringtones"
    •Keyboard sideways on texts and notes also
    oI have large hands and I’m sure many people do,
    so it would be easier if you could turn your phone
    sideways and type text messages and notes with the

    AMEN. I've already contacted feedback support on this one. Great recommendation, especially with text messaging.

    oIt would be great if I could somehow save photos
    directly from my web browser on my iPhone to the
    iPhones memory without have to do it on my computer
    like a middle man or something.
    I think we can do a little bit more with the internet. I'd be interested in:
    1. The ability to open another window in a new tab (electively)
    2. Support for a pre-set homepage that always pops up first
    •Recording
    oA voice recorder would be great, it would really
    help the iPhone expand into the college and business
    areas.
    Another feature that was oddly omitted. It may be possible to do this with a Widget
    •Flash, java, and macromedia support
    oThe internet browser is great but lacks one
    thing, support for such things as flash, java and
    macromedia applications such as moving images or
    internet radio.
    Adobe is working on this.

    could just copy a text and send it to multiple
    people or resend it to the same person or something

    It's hard to do on the iPhone, I can't imagine what kind of "tap shortcut" they would do to create this feature... it just unfortunately doesn't seem feasible
    •Deeper Customization
    oEverything I about customization now days, it
    would be cool if you could figure out a way to have
    more customization such as different themes and
    animations
    This would be nice, we do have now 700,000 identical iPhones out there right now, some personalization would be good.
    •Photos
    oSome kind of zoom and on phone picture editing
    would be nice, especially the zoom, but not
    necessary.
    I agree that the phone, considering 4 & 8GB respectively, should have some sort of "photobooth" program
    •More Apps
    oI know that these are in the works but more
    downloadable widgets and games would be cool
    AMEN.
    As everyone suggested, multiple emails to the feedback forums would get the features we want. I don't think apple, like other cell phone companies, will leave us with a limited first generation device. I think we can expect multiple updates and improvements much like they do with OS-X.
    Great ideas, they sound very reasonable. Just be sure, like I have already in the past, to let apple know what makes a difference to you so that we can get some better features on this phone.

  • Jabber for iPhone and iPad cannot receive calls

    We currently have Call Manager 9.1.1 and Presence 9.1.1.
    I am starting to use the Jabber Client for iPhone and iPad, but am having trouble receiving calls dialed to a particular extension.
    If I can go settings for the iPhone Jabber client as an example, I am succesffuly connected to all accounts: IM, Phone Services, Voicemail, and WebEx.
    When I go to the keypad, I can succesffuly dial internal extensions and make outbound calls to any numbers and they come accross as using my extension.
    When calling the extension, my desk phone rings, but not the Jabber client.
    Not sure what could be causing this issue to occur for Jabber not receiving the calls.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Paul Gaydos 

    Should still work. But would be good to check indial into jabber with the phone unplugged, just for testing purposes.
    also, you have checked the partition and configuration on the TAB device is the same as on the deskphone?
    Can you attach call manager traces when making a test call and attach to the case.  Let us know the extension and device names you have used in the test, and a timestamp of the test.
    thanks

  • All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?

    All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
    With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.

    Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
    Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
    I really love the look & feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.
    Cheers!
