Folks:
I'm looking for advice, personal situations, etc., regarding how anyone copes with a noisy environment, and TomTom not transmitting the instructions via their FM transmitter. Also, while I've got the "line out" cable, my stereo in this particular vehicle does not have a "line in" receptacle, or even a tape deck that can be tweaked, or anything else that would make this solution simple... or easy.
I'm guessing that using another FM transmitter, one that's designed to work with any MP3 player, would work. But I've had such varied results with these (dead out of the box, crap out of the box, and so forth), that I hesitate to go in that technical direction. I'd love something that I could actually plug into the antenna cable receptacle, a quasi FM transmitter, that would minimize the static I always seem to get.
Or is there a Bluetooth kind of device that will work with a "line out" mini-plug, and not be a horrible pain to install. My stereo is an older Pioneer in a 2004 Subaru Forester... with snow tires. Noisy vehicle.
So, does anyone have an elegant solution to my problem? Besides TomTom honoring their advertising committment to the entire world... outside of the UK. I really wonder just what kind of difficulty TomTom would have experienced if they had simply ignored the UK legislation... There's 30M people in the UK, and 330M in the US. I bet there's more TT users here than there..... but that's just a guess...
Thanks for your time,
Chris D.
