Have you considered privacy issue? Someone standing next to you in a traffic jam could hear your caller.

The FM transmitter on the N900 is no where near strong enough for it to be picked up a car away, if the device is in the back of the car my radio won't pick anything up, besides anyway i have no problems with a potential privacy leak. I'd love to have this feature.

I'm not sure whether there's an exception for low-powered transmitters, but if I remember correctly the FCC prohibits using a regulated service over another regulated service (or something along those lines-been a while since I took my amateur radio tests) in the US. There shouldn't be a technical limitation, but it may be disabled in the firmware for legal reasons.

It would probably be easier to just get a head unit that has bluetooth capabilities.

I have the proper Nokia charger and the FM transmitter is unuseable when charging.
Loving my N900 so far, it's an amazing device, theres something i'd love to be able to do to make it even better though.
I often use the FM transmitter to listen to music whilst in the car, however when I get a phone call it'll play my ringtone through the car speakers but not the voice once the call is connected.
This is a shame because it would be the perfect car handsfree set up. Is there a setting to make this work? I haven't found one which leads me to my next question, is there an application which could do this or would it be possible for one to be made?
Thanks,
Loz.
