Just one feature request, however: A way to manually input the station's frequency would be nice. The slider is a little trigger-happy in the fact that it jumps a lot of frequencies, IMHO.

41-1? My device has 41-10. Is yours one of the devices from the summit?

Oh, sorry, mine is 41-10. I have a bad habit of shortening numbers when I can't remember the last digit...

No, this is a device from before the Summit, but not one those ugly protos.

Best Regards,
Faheem

Is one of you successfully using this on one of the summit-units?

I know of two reasons where loading the driver fails with this error:

1. The Bluetooth chip is not powered up
2. I2C on the Bluetooth chip is not powered up

You're the second person I hear that the FM radio doesn't play. It would really be interesting to hear from other people who got their device on the summit.

My device is from September so I suppose it's the same as qwerty has. From those devices I've heard some success stories. Andre Klapper, I think, has an older device and he also reported success.

I tried with OS 39-9 and OS 41-10. FM radio works with both firmwares. I've been successfully using the FM radio hardware since 38.x.

Seriously, though - if the receiver supports RDS and TA/TP it would be nice to pause the media player and pass-through the FM receiver audio when there are traffic announcements.

Right now, I have to use the headphone jack and the car's line-in if I want to listen to music on the N900 and having the car radio switch to traffic announcements on FM radio.

I like it a lot :-o
I was thinking about moving the pin on a fixed frequencies bar, but to move the bar like a contacts list with kinetic scrolling is way better.. x)
I would just make it possible to tap on the current frequency (displaying it in a little box like the browser address bar), so that you can enter manually the numer you want.
thx a lot to all who work on this (pycage in particular I assume)!

This looks great. What does the "Maximum" label mean?
I'm gonna try to put your scale mockup to life. This would look and feel great.

Hopefully we'll be able to let the N900 scan for stations and display them and allow picking of them by name, using RDS info.

It would also be nice to have large buttons for previous and next station, for ease of use while driving. My previous car had two pairs of prev/next buttons on the steering wheel - one for surfing through the stations I had setup as favourites, and another pair for scanning the frequencies for just whatever the next highest/lowest station it could find (useful when driving in unusual areas to pick up local stations I haven't set as a favourite). Something like that would be good.
