Hey,

From the threads on the forum, it is obvious that even though some people have awesome experiences with the radio transmitter, and in some cases the transmitter is way too powerful (like a friend driving behind you being able to tune in), the experience of others (including me) have been disappointing.

The fm transmitter only works when my N900 is literally touching the radio's antenna. Using the transmitter in a car, or anywhere more than 10cm away from the antenna is impossible.

Through software, would it be possible to amplify the radio signal? Or would it be possible to override the transmitter not working with a headset problem to amplify the signal through some changes to the driver, or OS?



Another thing to note is that maybe each country (or even state) has different regulations, and the transmitters are powered down according to where the N900 is sold. That would explain the discrepancy between the experience of users.
