Location: Rushford Minnesota		I am building a low power am transmitter that will allow me to hook up an i-pod or a cd player and play it over the AM radio in my car, the nice thing is it can be battery powered so no modification of the car or the original radio. just want to find out if anyone wants me to post pictures as i go along, let me know if there is any interest in this

Location: Madison, Wisconsin		I am doing the same thing. I just obtained all the parts I need and just have to find the time to put it together on a breadboard. It should run off of a nine volt battery. Another neat thing is that if you connect it to the ipod in you pocket you can switch the music from outside the car at a car show. You could even broadcast to the car next to you if you wanted! I also have the fm converter in my car right now. It works just fine to pickup the oldies station in town.

I don't think so, I think they went the way of the add on power boosters that many of us blew our speakers with. Ebay or craigslist or swap meet item maybe?

Location: Banks, Oregon		How do those FM converters work? Do you have to unhook your AM radio to use them? There are a couple on Ebay right now.

It goes "In Line" from your car antenna to the FM converter, and then on to the original AM radio.

Connection from the FM converter to the original AM radio is thru the AM radios antenna socket.

The FM converter is basically sending the FM band and broadcasting it to the AM radio on a fixed AM frequency.

For the FM converter to play thru the original AM radio , the AM radio needs to be tuned to that AM Freq. I believe its around 1400 on the AM band.

You may also need to tune the antenna on the AM radio.

If you already aahve an FM band converter for your AM radio then you can buy an Ipod FM transmitter that will work with no further mods!

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		There is a company that is producing these right now, to work with your original in dash radio, can play your Ipod through the radio with only an in line hookup on the antenna lead. http://www.rediscoveradio.com/ At last, you can enjoy the music from a CD player, iPod®, Sirius/XM® satellite radio or even a cassette player without removing or modifying the original radio!
