Anyone experienced this ?
How coud we solve that ?
maybe prevent th FMTX to auto close ?
Cool!

How about if you have media player running and transmitting your tunes over FM. Will the Sygic "voice" be heard over the sound or does the media being played cut out and then resume?

The beeps and the 15 second cut off may be related to an FCC requirement that I remember once reading about for "productive use" of a frequency.
This was to prevent "squatting" on public airwaves by producing a dead air transmission in order to have a particular frequency available for exclusive use and to prevent others from using it in the mean time.

The only "right" way would be to "use" the frequency to listen to your tunes, (Which BTW could pro'ly be just "dead air" recordings. ) and have Sygic transmit over or momentarily interrupt them.
