Funny you should mention that, cuz while testing the fm booster app, I found that if I could be at least over 20 feet away and have a clear static free signal... if I place the n900 on the corn of the wall ... were those metal end cover are on dry walls.
Also line of sight seemed to help also.

[QUOTE=YoDude;468947]Yup, it can now be found in "Extras-testing" as fm-boost...
Coming in a bit late here but is FM-Boost a pre-baked widget that amplifies the FM transmitter as discussed in this thread?
Cheers.

Nice work guys but i have another question regarding the FM transmitter. See, before my n900 i was using Nokia n97 and on that phone i was able to set the frequency to two last decimal places, which resulted in finding more free frequencies.. n900 can't do that. Example: N900 - 99,1MHz; n97 - 99,15MHz.
Is there a way to enable that on the n900?

After applying "FM Boost" (by clicking on its shortcut icon) my transmitters power level measured "118" (theoretical max).

I can't find fm-boost in the extras-testing repository
please help! ahh... i want to get my fm transmitter to work too..
I activated extras-testing repository, but I can't find it even by searching it, and going down the "all" listing in alphabetical order. Does anyone one else have this problem by any chance?

what kind of car????
many newer cars have special radiation (solar) absorbing glass (ex Mercedes R class) that even interferes with toll booth transponders.
Since the car guys assumed that all the transmitter are on the outside of the car that is where they put the antenna and now your little N900 is inside a "faraday" cage.
check your owners manual if you have a section that states you can only put toll transponders in certain spots of your front windscreen, you may have a problem

Same ol' song dude.
Updated PR1.1 firmware reports 111 without.
Push fm-boost button and BAM!
118
It is still needed.

Ok, then I guess I should push to extras-testing. 
EDIT: ...when the packages interface is not broken...

It does require that the Media-player and FM transmitter be on before starting it and;
It does not stay resident after the FM transmitter is shut down (Closed Media Player)... It is required to be launched every time.
After the recent Firmware update I checked the transmitter power level without it and it measured "111".
