FM Transmitter

[AC Question]

I was reading online that 3/4ths of smart phones have an fm chip. That there was some way to "hack" the phone to active it.. Also that upon doing this u can transmit too? Ive only been looking thru a few forums and saw this 2 times.. Anyone heard about this? Or is it just bs?

Some have a capacity to listen to FM radio stations, sometimes disabled by carriers. You cannot transmit on these frequencies, and why would you want to?

Not that you're not allowed to transmit on them, receivers can't transmit.

Transmitter would be useful in older no Bluetooth cars Mainly for music.

I vaguely remember some iPod or such doing that. You could tune your car radio to it.. I was in convoy with someone who had one and I tuned to it in my car too while we were close together...
