The contents of my file where:

0

And after i started the FM Transmitter it changed to 111.

So i really think is a Log file

Maybe it cannot be changed this easily
Files in /sys and /proc are not real files -- they are special interfaces to the kernel and drivers that are exposed to act like files. writing to the power_level "file" actually sends the new value directly to the running driver which appears to then immediately send the new value to the Si4713 fm transmitter chip via the i2c bus. I can confirm through observation that there is indeed an audible pop followed by an adjustment in the ability to receive the fm signal the moment after echoing a new value to that file.

I have tested the radio transmitter in a Volvo V70, and it serves it's purpose. Compared to the old fashioned way of burning CDs I couldn't ask for more. Remember, it's a phone, not a radio station..

yes it really works - to do it - simply open a terminal, run root, type in the echo command a few posts back.

Is it persistent?
Must the transmitter be powered up?
