TMC on Cruise ? - Touch Cruise General

Hi,
What can I redirect the radio FM RDS signal to com port in my Cruise for use with IGO ?
Thanks

I use the
GNS TrafficBoxplus FM9BT-Y

I understood from a Dutch forum that TMC data cannot be read from the RDS signal using the Cruise radio.
Program used was DecoRDS.

I don't know too much about this but I *think* that it was discussed here awhile ago and basically it was found to not be possible..would be sweet if someone could get it to work though

Assuming you meant FM radio, i know it requires some serious hardware modification , eventhough the Radio ASIC is capable. As far as I Know the main board is not populated with all the components required for FM radio reception...
is there a radio
Man, I wish no one answered him. It was good fun ...
Here we have someone with a universal asking if there is a radio ... man it cracks me up how far will people go to post. Me ... I just could nto resist ;-)
Hey ya! there is a radio in universal. Place it on the roof of your car and automatically the sound of the first FM station will be routed to the car's speakers.
Strange, but, t.r.u.e
radio version
...and so here are the versions:
Radio version 1.15: SW Radio
Radio version 1.16: AM Radio
Radio version 1.17: FM Radio
Radio version 1.18: FM Radio with RDS

for the first question, i guess you have a lot of answers to that... (just look above). for the second question... you can use a wifi router and connect it to your pc... then use wifi on your pocket pc to connect to the internet
or if you just wanna test... just connect your universal to your pc via activesync then start browsing using your pda...
thnx
thnx everyone for such wonderful answers....i thought this forum is very serious ....just wanted to see if there are humorous people here

Can I have your radio ? ;-)

Hi,
I recently bought a Kaiser. I think it's great. Only thing missing is an FM radio. Or is it?
I think it's accurate to say that the only real difference between the Kaiser and the Polaris is the keyboard. They have the same Qualcomm chipset, same amount of memory, the lot. So why then does the Polaris have an FM radio and the Kaiser does not?
Does anybody know if anybody has attempted to "lift" the radio programs out of the Polaris for testing in the Kaiser?

Kaiser is supposed to be a "Professional" device and FM Radio is not one of it's features.

This is not possible because it is not only software but mostly hardware issue.
> Kaiser is supposed to be a "Professional" device and FM Radio is not one of it's features.
Hey, I'm a "professional" and I want a radio ;-)
>This is not possible because it is not only software but mostly hardware issue.
Ok, but as far as I know the hardware is identical, so this means it should just be missing software.
Hmm..
Just because the chipset and memory is identical, doesnt mean the rest of the hardware is identical.
Anyways.. I think O2's version of the Kaiser has radio. Go check it out.
yeah fm radio require a whole different radio chip compared to gsm
software is not enough to change it so gsm/umts at <800Ghz and are digital start recieving analog signals at around 100Ghz

Ο2 is identical to Kaiser... which means that this was a mistyping error. O2 version does not have FM radio and most sites have corrected their previous posts.

Understood, but do you remember when the Trinity (aka 3600) was updated after launch with GPS? It had GPS all the time, but it wasn't activated on the original models.
I know the Polaris and Kaiser have the same hardware and only appear to differ with the keyboard. So if GPS can be activated on the Trinity, why not FM Radio on the Kaiser?
I'm assuming the FM on the Polaris is not built in to the headset ...

Trinity always had built-in GPS. Kaiser does not have FM Radio built-in. I don't want to disappoint you but this is the truth my friend.

Oh dear
This is the first time I heard that there are actually hardware differences that would prevent FM radio functionality from being available on the Kaiser. It sounds like you know what you are talking about - I assumed that the Qualcom chipset that is common to both would mean FM radio was possible on the Kaiser. Does the Polaris have a different or upgraded chipset to the Kaiser or does the FM radio come from additional hardware?
Go on, I can handle the truth (albeit with considerable difficulty ...)
the radio only seem to work when the headset is connected
meaning that it use the headset wire as antenne which mean
that even if the fm radio was in the cpu not having wireing to an
antenna would mean that it could not recieve radio

I think all FM-equipped phones work like this. A friends 3300 has a headset just like my Kaiser. So no problems having to use the supplied headset then.
So, if not in the Qualcomm 7200 and not in the headset, just where is the FM?
a phone have more components then it's main cpu and the headset
if you look in the various wiki's for devices where they are opened
it's full of various IC's
if Qualcomm 7200 is not spec'd as having fm radio on Qualcomm's site
htc put another fm radio chip on the pcb to handle the fm radio
fm radio is a pretty old teck so i would understand why Qualcomm would not put too much work into having it on chip
Exactly!!!

Look, I know I'm sounding desperate here, but you do say if. I have actually looked at the schematics for the 7200 but there is so much detail, it's impossible for me to see if/where FM radio functionality might be lurking.
So, do we know for a fact that FM radio is not part of the 7200? (Forgive my pedantic questioning - I'm desperate! ;-))
cant say 100% but all the techs are listed and fm is not so i would guess another chip is used

http://www.cdmatech.com/download_library/pdf/msm7200_chipset.pdf
you can look in wiki for pcb pics of the other devices with fm to see if you can see a fm chip on any of their pcb's

I had a quick look, but didn't see anything. Then again, I'm not an expert ...
Now that some time has passed since the last update in this thread, is anybody out there any more knowlegable about the possibility of an "FM extract" ?

I had a look and it's an interesting device, but ...
No screen interface, station selection a bit bit and miss
Bigger than just headphones
I already have a Jabra wireless for car use, so this is overapping functionality
(my biggest issue)It needs it's own seperate power supply for recharging purposes. I'm big into convergence (that's why I bought the Kaiser!) so this is a no no
Some progress on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355524&page=210#2095
Now, it's not working. Yet.
Anyone have any comments on the possibility of the Polaris headset having something in it that the Kaiser's doesn't - & thus preventing the FM application from working in Kaiserland?
The thing is, I still find it hard to understand why HTC would change or add to the hardware of the Polaris just to get FM working - especially when the target audience for the 2 devices cannot be that different. Surely there is a big cost to make any mods on a standard platform?
But of course, this could simply be wishfull thinking on my side

AT&T Fuze

I've had TONS of PM's recently (12 in the 3 days I was in VT) so I wanted to clear some things up and answer a few questions.
1) ROM DUMP... The ROM incognitho posted is the one on my Fuze, same radio and everything. If that doesn't give you 3G, no ROM/radio will.
2) MMS... Your Raphael automatically obtains the same settings as mine for MMS, if it doesn't work, fix it through AT&T.
3) Software/hardware capabilities... The G-sensor calibrator, FM radio and TV out all function completely after the software was installed. Thanks to sub69 and schaps.
Any more questions so my PM box stops overflowing?
Keep negativity elsewhere as I'm already on thin ice, I'll answer anything I can but once the mudslinging starts this thread is gone.
I'm afraid that black may be right on the 3g in the US. If his rom & radio don't give the UK touch pro 3g in the states, I really don't know what else can be done to open it up as that rom/radio do enabe the 3g on his touch pro. I really do hope I'm wrong as I currenly have a UK touch pro in the US but when the fuze comes out I know I will have no problem selling it and I'll just get the Fuze. It's a shame because I think I would like the layout of the UK keyboard better than the Fuze. Only time will tell I guess.
Well, I can't say I know that the hardware is different (nix the keyboard/camera/etc), but I do know my phone works flawlessly on 3G/HSPA with the currently available radio/ROM. I'm sorry to hear people have tried this with no success, as that means many people have wasted a grand for no 3G. :-(

The software wasn't installed, but after sub69 did me the favor of extracting the FM radio files from his Touch Pro and putting them into a CAB, it works perfectly on my Fuze. Same applies to TV-out, software wasn't there, but after installed it works mint.

Are you talking about the AT&T Fuze ROM? If you are, then no that ROM will brick the hell out of your phone if you try it. Stick to the Hermes forum for Hermes ROMs

No, the ROM wont work straight out. It would have to be ported to work on the Hermes. There was one ported for the Kaiser (IBI) but i don't think anything for the Hermes was released.

Where is the FM Radio on the Fuze?

Ive searched and searched and cant find any info on this. Closest I got was that there is a cab file but nothing else...
Can someone point out where to get this for the Fuze?
Hey! Mr noob here I had the same question. I believe the hardware is intact on the Fuze but att elected not to put any software on the phone to run it?? So you will have to install your own third party software to use it?
yep, if u install the fm radio cab then you will find fm radio in programs. but it will only work with the headset dongle thingy attached, as that is your antenna
the hardware is there, but it didnt come with the software is all
so can anyone supply a link for the required software?
Anyone?

Yeah, HD2 do have hardware for FM transmitting, but unfortunately no developers are keen to built an app for it...
why does htc make phones with a lot of hardware (like fm transmitting on leo, wifi on touch dual) but doesn't activate it?!?
someone NEEDS to come up with that app

some issues
Hi,
My HD2 have about 2 months when i got it
and i need to tell you that twice i had strange situation :
In my work we have a public radio connected straight to intercom.
Twice there was a strange situation when i was playing some music
with Media Player. Everyone in my work have heard the same music
that i was playing on my HD2 . Maybe it is a problem with intercom
inside my company , but signal transmitting was noticed.
Wifi was off.
I always have very poor/zero reception with my standard network ( Orange )
so i think it could be network related.
You know ...searching a network ... getting acces to intercom for a short moment
and then transmitting .
Who knows.. but its possible .
Even a HTC didn't know that someone will create a program to
change HD2 into METAL DETECTOR .
(----sorry for my language----hope you will understand-----)
