iPhone RF Transmitter/Blocker

So you want to play your iTunes music in your car? You could opt for the expensive professional installation. The problem with this is future connectivity! I have a cable in my car that works for an iPod, but not an iPhone! Who wants to pay all of that money for something that likely will not work with the next generation?

The other options are auxillary cables. These are great, but when your phone is transmitting/receiving, you get this horrible interferance with your radio! So how do we get around this? How about an RF transmitter built into the iPhone? I mentioned this on another blog post for different purposes. The key would be a small device you could attach to your antenna cable (easily found in the trunk, under the hood, or just behind the radi0) that you would switch on/off via the RF signal from the iPhone. When your iPhone is transmitting RF, this device blocks the stronger signals received by your antenna from reaching the radio! This way you have a nice clear signal, no cables, and very simple installation!!!

Now if you just had a bluetooth microphone you would have a nice speakerphone system...
