ZEN Micro MP3

Featured Replies

Morning all.

I have a creative Zen micro and I'm looking to find some way of playing my mp3 through my factory H/U.

Bought a Sony H/U for my old pug but i dropped it and smashed the screen so dont really want to splash out on another head unit just yet.

Any help greatfully recieved.

Cheers

I got a VRFM9 off ebay £30 - transmits to your car radio.

BUT - you only need the cable! About £5 from china.

Plug it in the cig lighter and tune the radio!

Really :confused: Cant see why. Ive now got three!!! One for me, one for SWMBO and one for her bro. (But dont tell anyone else) The walls have ears. :rofl:

They're illegal because you're broadcasting on FM without a licence! As DM said, because they're low range, I doubt anyone other than the cars around you would be able to pick it up and I can't see them bothering to bring about a prosecution :D

They are currently illegal but Ofcom is currently in the process in changing the 1940's legislation to allow the use of an ultra-short range FM transmitter.

I find it strange that these transmitters to bradcast your MP3 to yours and everyone else's! radio are suddenly now illegal. Sony have been selling a cd changer that does the same and Halfords have been selling that for years.

True, many shops are now selling them, and ebay is flooded with them. I got one off ebay for

They're not suddenly illegal, they are not illegal to own or sell its the use of them without a broadcasting license which has been illegal for the past 57years! ;)

I think you'll find the cd changers your talking about are wired directly into the aerial input on your headunit so the dont actually broadcast a signal it just gets pumped straight down the wire.
