revd lol, you have no idea what you are talking about then do u!!!

I was following the conversation: various people were listing which vehicles they drove and whether the FM transmitter worked.

If 'prius' has some other meaning for you than the toyota model, which I assumed thedoctor meant, then no. I know what everyone else is talking about, but you seem to have found a joke the rest of us have missed.

its the equivelant of "i do alot for charity but i dont like to talk about it"


yanks that have prius's love to drop it in under any situ..

if the lad had a different car he may have just said i have an aux port in my car(not prius)

Err, if you dial back you will see that may people have listed which cars they have tried this in - a jeep, a mini cooper, a mondeo a citroen... someone even boasted of a BMW. I don't think thedoctor was doing any more than that.

I suppose I missed your joke because I made the mistake of assuming the poster was from the UK. Guess I'm more of a nerd than I thought - thedoctor immediately said whovian to me, not american.

it wasnt a joke.

it was a comment.

seeing all the yank celebs in prius's potraying they are helping the envioroment- (reality is they have another 8 litre gas guzzler they normally use)

or the whole its cool to be green in public, yet arnt in other situs;

look dude just dont worry about it..

in the europe we drive quailty cars with low emmisions.. the prius is a massive deal in the states-but its ugly as sin.

Or he could just have been letting us know that his car had an AUX port which was a viable solution to the inability to get decent reception from the FM transmitter in his car - which happens to be a prius - thus enabling other people who may have that car to know they arent completely boned.

But then I am a glass half full kinda guy. Preferably followed rapidly by an empty glass and then a full one again.

well i dont think anyone will buy a car based on there phone..

And everyone knows what aux's do.

or do i use my brain to effeciently.

No, but it's an interesting analysis of what people see when they read a post.

You saw a reference to a prius and assumed an American showing off. (Despite others also listing the make and model of ther vehicle).

I saw the user name thedoctor and assumed a Brit who happens to be a Who fan (probably complicated by the fact that last I heard David Tennant was driving a prius..)

It's entirely possible that we're both quite wrong in our assumptions about this user.

My car has an aux input - I can't use it if I am also charging the n900, since the charging process generates so much EM that is makes horrible, horrible interference noises on the aux cable. Mind, at the moment I can't use the FM at the same time as the charger at all.

I tried it in 4 diff cars and still no luck.

My FM transmitter is WEAK!

yes i was making a sweeping generalization about an american that drives a prius- fueled mainly by the notion in america that they are putting themselves out to save the envioroment by driving one..

in europe we are much more advanced and we get our top cars great performance with effeciency.

the fm tramsimitter is gash-- some may be lucky- but that will be more down to free signals in there areas. in london it really doesnt matter what car you have - the tramsmitter will never work as well as the aux.

to add to the car discussion

i have a 09 golf blue motion(68 mpg)- ten times better than that awfull looking prius with zeltch performance(not to mention 4 grand cheaper)-and almost the exact same green rating(28 to 27)- the aux port works fine and when charging- the fm transmitter has almost made me crash a few times it is lame.

ps: yes i am being abit ironic- and yes i feel discussing cars is way more important than our phones rubbish fm transmitter- which isnt practical- and i dont think it will based on our cars- areas perhpas- cars no.
