I tried in 3 different cars and at it's best the sound quality is very poor, barely better than AM radio, but most of the time there is so much static I can't hear anything. And I'm using the FM boost package, which helps a little. Without FM boost it's even worse... I think it depends on phone's proximity to the FM antenna, whether the antenna is shielded from electrical signals inside the car (which is normally a good thing, except for when the FM transmitter is inside the car...) _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
