[SOLVED] 80gb FM Transmitter Issue(s)

techty · 04-08-2008, 06:02 AM

When driving home from work just about every day, when I plug my Zune into my FM Transmitter it with either (A) restart over and over and/or (B) have a high pitched buzzing sound. Doesn't happen to my brothres 8gb zune or my other brothers 30gb zune. BUT it did happen to my 30gb zune when I had it, now upgrade to the 80gb and having the same problem(s).

Any thoughts?

maybe its the radio station.. just get another fm transmitter not branded by zune.. ones where you can plug in the earphone jack

See I thought about that two, so I tried evey radio station possible. Even bought the Microsoft Zune FM Transmitter (Took it back cause it was nothing but static). I works on the way to work, but usually doens't on the drive home. While at work it sits on a CD box plugged into only speakers so I can listen to it at work then once I get into my truck the problem starts.

Sounds like some interference in the truck. Is there anything in the truck that could cause interference?(Cellphone near radio?)

Try getting a headphone to tape converter.

I have a BlackBerry that sits in my pocket, but it ALWAYS and ONLY happens on the way home. Only when leaving this office, and its really starting to creep the **** out of me.

it is probably the fm transmitter problem then... either if you car has aux.. use that.. or try something new... phones don't effect the transmitter/radio much..

Sounds like I'm buying a new CD deck. Is the 80gb zune suppose to get the firm ware update for the equilizer so you can control the tones of the music?

Nope, no EQ anytime ever. It doesn't have the actual part for it.

Thats ****ty.

To follow up with the issue. It came to pass that it was the speakers I was plugging into. The Zune does not like the standardized version of computers speakers. The Zune had relating issues going from actual speakers then plugged into a FM Transmitter, or atleast that was the issue with mine.

o yea by the way.. when your using fm transmitter, DO NOT put the volume on max.. or else you end up getting some fuzzing noise also... just a tip and see will that work.. well do not put volume on max on zune.. but on your stereo it should be no problem..
