just want to make sure this would work…
if i were to buy the iPod cable for my Alpine receiver, would my receiver play the music through Pandora radio on my iPhone? essentially it would be like a free XM radio :eekdance:
yea no maybe?
i would say yes, but i dont know for sure.
It works fine for me
yes
coo
Works for me, with one little glitch. When the phone switches over to edge networks it’s still fast enough to stream pandora but I get that edge feedback noise through the stereo.
edge networks?
oh boo, i forgot about the 1g speaker rattle
The cell network the phone works on.
3g = faster, but only near big cities.
Edge = slower, but nearly everywhere. The GSM frequency it uses just happens to get picked up very easily by nearby speakers.
You don’t see it on Verizon because they use a CDMA network and the frequency isn’t picked up by speakers like GSM.
If you want to see it happen and have a 3g iphone go into the settings and disable 3g. Then make a call and get the phone withing a foot or so of some computer speakers that are turned on. You’d think your phone was nuclear powered the way it freaks out the speakers.
I know about once a week when I’m sitting here at work for some mysterious reason my 3g iphone will fall off the edge network and cause this loud popping noise from my computer speakers (since I leave it sitting about 6" from them). Just as mysteriously it will go back on 3g and it won’t happen again for a week or so.
I had to keep my old Razr phone, which only worked on the edge network, on the far opposite corner of my desk causing my body to become an RF shield for the speakers or they would snap and pop all day long.
ahh
yea i mainly just use it to call people. i dont know all this technical stuff. lol
i have a 3g. ill probably try it, the cable is like 30$… so if nothing else ill use it for the ipod on the phone or my nano
You absolutely will hear speaker rattle on a Verizon CDMA phone. It’s not as pronounced as the GSM sound, but I remember the Ba-da-da. Ba-da-da. Ba-da-da BAAAAAAAA every time I got a call along with a Ba-da-da Ba every 15 minutes when data updated from when I was working at Verizon.
Annoying.
i have ATT
For some reason my FM transmitter doesn’t work with pandora. hmmm…
FM transmitters suck. at least they always have for me. hardwire that shit
yeah, fm transmitters do suck. Even the good ones.
I was all excited to use it on the last road trip I went on after listening to pandora in the car every day on my way to and from work. Then not far outside of buffalo I got outside of 3g range and started getting the constant “da da da da da” through my speakers as if you could actually hear the data packets streaming into the phone. :tdown:
It wasn’t real loud, but enough that I ended up just switching over to music I had stored on the phone.
Heh, you think that’s bad… I have the original 2G phone and when I’m in my office at home the speakers pick up EVERYTHING. I’m about to wrap my phone in a Faraday cage. I have to set my phone on the other side of the room. I think if I bought shielded wires that it might help.
Ya. I just got the Griffin itrip thing for the fm transmitter that goes out the bottom ipod port of the device and plays any sound through the stereo.
Yes it works great with my kenwood cd player.
