Now if only it could do this automatically upon answering an incoming call.

I only have experience with my girlfriend's N85's FM transmitter and even then I've only used it once; it did work but it was quite quiet on an aged car radio.

Definitely a feature that I'm interested in though, like TV-out that even if you don't use it all the time is nice having.

This sucks as I'm currently using 87.6 MHz with very good experience in my area with my 3rd party FM transmitter and the N810.
That's a disappointment.

Any chance of hacking... I mean enhancing the code to correct this issue, ya think?

Let's hope Nokia will fix this. I want my 87.6 MHz!

Hello,

I was thinking about the push competition and i had this idea to use two N900's as walkie talkies, using the FM frequency.

It would take to create an application that would 'kill' the connection to your headset (antenna) when transmitting, and then 'revive' it when receiving (in idle mode). (this action would have to be done because of the N900 not being able to send with antenna/headset, and not being able to receive without).
This simple switch would be all controlled in a simple interface with only one button.

This idea got me to find this thread so i guess i was'nt THAT original.

Only problem is the range of the fm transmitter. And from what i've read here so far about FM transmitters in other devices, there is not too much to be expected from an FM transmitter in such a device.

Nice idea, but transmitter power is too low:

From page 74 of the Official N900 User Guide

The operating distance of the FM transmitter is up to a maximum of 3 meters (10 ft).
Also regarding frequency range:

The operating frequency of the transmitter ranges from 88.1 to 107.9 MHz.
But I wonder if either of these are hackable!

The operating frequency is definitely hackable. I don't know about the operating distance, but I doubt it...

I hope the operating frequency is hackable to support the 87.9 frequency which according to this thread is supposed to be empty. Just for the record, the standalone fm transmitter i am using now doesn't have this frequency as it also starts from 88.1
