Need some advice please. I understand that in the US it is possible to purchase a small portable Cassett/CD player with a little radio sender, from which you can tune in your cars original FM stereo radio? As I understand the principel, you can adjust the portable unit to a frequency which are not used in your area. Thereafter you just tune in the cars radio to this freq. No more problems with installing under dash/seats etc. :Brow: Anybody know if this is available, where and to what cost? Might not be legal, but.......... Per. :beer
I bought a transmitter years ago and plugged it into my portable CD player in the car, It was analog (used a thumb wheel (variable capacitor) to tune the transmission frequency). It worked well, but the signal "drifted." I had to adjust it every so often. The first units were too "powerful," so they were off the market for a short time. The first one I had could transmit about 200 feet - you only need a range of 5-10 feet. Newer units can be analog or digital. The digital ones don't drift (as much) but are more expensive. I don't know where you can get one in your location. They are legal in the US. You could probably buy it online, but you might want to check your country's import laws (or our export laws). I've seen them in Best Buy, Kmart, Walmart, and Radio Shack (each of these stores have online purchasing). Expect to pay from $20 to $40, plus shipping.
Thanks Truzi. Good news. I found a couple at radioshack & Amazon. Seems to be exactly what I am after in order to playback CD/Cassett through the original FM radio. Only problem now is that Amazon don't ship outside the US & Shack want $83 in shipping for a $25 item :shock: Anyway, will find a solution to that. As for the law, I was more conserned about the legality in the US. In Lebanon, there is not many rules. As in traffic, we generally drive on the right side of the road, except when it is more conveniant for some idiot to fly down the highway against traffic. No danger of falling asleep behind the wheel here. All the best, Per. :beer
Per, Systems like that are also for sale in Europe. Try importing it from Greece, this will save you a lot of money. Sony did a whole series back in the 90's.
