Listen to Pressure in the CAR !!!!

Yes it is posible but it takes some investment

First your going to need a full web capable mobile phone or PDA
Image
For this purpose I used a Nokia n95 They cost an arm and a leg on pay-as you go but then internet on the move is not really viable unless you have unlimited monthly data bandwidth. Shop around when your pay monthly contract is up. Do NOT attempt this unless you have unlimited data (e.g. T-Mobiles web and walk tariff]

You will then need to download a suitable media player that supports shoutcast/mp3 streams unfortunately the ones that come with the n95 DONT!!

NOKIA do a great FREE internet radio application
CLICK HERE

iPhone users can install the new Shoutcast app
Click here NOTE: you need iTunes to download bt its tottaly free

Once you have the player installed fire it up and try the player. if it works then you may want to invest in a small FM transmitter
there’s plenty available from ebay etc. eg. this one you can then plug this into the output of your phone it will then transmit the signal to your car FM band on your car system.

Here is my working system in my car:-

Just a word of warning even 'unlimited' fast internet has a fair use policy and listening to internet radio will use 96kbps so don’t use it too much.

I know this is a fair bit of effort/cost but the time will come when car stereos will come with built in web radio capability, can't wait!!

Fantastic! One of my friends had one of these transmitters but just hooked it up to an mp3 player. This is the way technology is going. DAB will be no more once they increase the amount of wireless hotspots. Everyone will be listening to net radio from the car and home. Then we'll all be rich and famous and we can spend long weekends on DJPs luxury yacht! :wink:
