FM Transmitter


The FM Transmitter lets you wirelessly push your music to a nearby radio, providing connectivity with the most common audio device, present everywhere. It can be used to throw a party using your music collection on your phone, or to listen to your mp3s in your car.

I believe, it’s one of the most user friendly features regarding music sharing. While UPnP is a common feature on the Nokia smartphones, UPnP enabled devices are not so common around the households of your friends, I guess :-)

By simply launching the FM transmitter via the Music Player, you are able to choose an unused frequency (it should be easier in Europe or Asia, than in the US) and start broadcasting your Nokia station (with RDS nonetheless). I have yet to meet with a phone (N78, N79 or N85) with this function, but it should be common across the portfolio :-)

To see, how it works, please check Symbian World’s video on practical use of the FM transmitter:

FM Transmitter overload:

  • Otto
    The Nuvi 710 Garmin GPS made my Nokia 6234 a complete handsfree car solution. I bought the N79 to be an 'all in one solution' and take the place of this GPS also with FM transmitter. It is nearly a complete replacement except for the N79 that would not transmit its calls also via FM. Did I miss a setting or is it true? Why would this not be done? All the hardware is there.
  • I have it on the N78, but think (and correct me if I'm wrong...) it was missing on the N96...

    I think that if this were to come out as a feature on the iPods that would be detrimental... As it wasn't really pushed by Nokia...
  • Hi Mike, I think the FM transmitter was not mentioned for the N97, but I agree with you - it should be included in the Almighty Kill'em All flagship device :)

    (ps.: if you found the video demo good, please take the time to comment for Symbian World, the creator. I'm quite sure he would appreciate it! :-)
  • That is truly awesome, considering I bought the Nokia FM Transmitter kit (CA-119) that plugs into my Nokia N95 and Cigarette Light. I hope the N97 is going to have this FM Transmitter.

    WICKED indeed, and good Video Demo...
