App that scans for free FM frequencies ?

Basically I was looking for an app that scanned for free available frequencies around you. I want to use it in my car with my FM transmitter to find the best channel to tune the transmitter to. Is there anything out there like this ?
Thanks
Maybe there isn't

[Q] Music Player that supports A2DP?

Don't know if this is the right place to post this, so move it if it's not.
I have a Desire HD with MIUI and i'm looking for an app that supports A2DP. I think the stock HTC Sense player supports it, but i'm not sure. But i can't use it now since, well, MIUI. I've searched for A2DP on the Market, but didn't find anything special.
So does anyone have some ideas on how i can get this to work?
Thanks in advance
I think you are looking for "mort player"
The built in Android music app should work just fine...as well as apps like WinAmp... I can't imaging any media app now days that wouldn't.
I have HD bluetooth stereo headphones and they work just fine using any media app.
Thanks Trying to connect to the car stereo. Gonna try Mort Player and some other ones.

AD2P isn't something that is based on the music player being used. It is based on the device hardware. If their bluetooth hardware supports it, then it will work. The only aspect of AD2P that I believe is controlled with the software are the playback controls.
If you are hooking up to your car audio, it might have to do with the car's bluetooth hardware/software. Sometimes you can take your car to the dealer and they can install software/driver updates for your car's bluetooth. May try calling them and seeing if there is an update for your car.
I have the Desire HD, and it supports A2DP. I'm trying to connect it to Pioneer FH-P80BT (Clicky) which supports Bluetooth audio aka A2DP.
I'm running MIUI btw.
Then in theory it should work just fine. If it simply won't work no matter what you try with your phone...then contact the dealer and see if there is an update for your car's audio software.
I'll test it further tomorrow and see if it works
I thank you all for your replies
And yes, i'll press the thanks button when i'm around a computer

Hello ppl, sorry to revisit this again, but I have Miui on my DHD with a Motorola HT820. For some reason the BT audio for call work great, but audio streaming will start and then drop out (no sound, but the music player is still going), then suddenly the BT connection will drop. Any ideas?
On the Sense 3.0 this function works fine. Just to make sure its not the headphones, I paired it with my Iphone 4 and that too worked flawlessly. Could there be a bug related to the Miui port for DHD?
Thanks for any help
Since this is MIUI related it might be better to ask in a MIUI thread

Best radio app?

What does everyone recommend for internet radio apps? I had Pandora for a while, but it always seemed to get into a rut as far as what songs it would play, and it got predictable. I can't seem to find Slacker's app in the market anymore.
i listen to more local stuff with tune in radio pro (was free on amazon a while back) and i like it... pandora is a bit predictable, and you're limited to how many hours you can listen to for free.
+1 for tune in radio
I listen to this every morning at work on my phone since I cant stream on our work network. Stations from across the country, great variety, and the radio itself has a pretty slick interface.
Winamp rocks.

Hands down "Wunder Radio" it even picks up local radio stations by GPS!
It has a ton of radio stations from around the world.
Great selection
Tune In is incredible.
Another vote for Winamp

Winamp is really great for internet radio - it gives access to the huge Shoutcast network with just about anything you could want.
TuneIn Radio is excellent for local (and national and international) commercial radio stations. The difference between the free version and the retail version is that the retail version can record what you listen to. In America, all the stations owned by Clear Channel Radio are excluded from TuneIn Radio because they have their own app - "I Heart Radio." Last time I tried that app it was awful.

Dual zone/Multiscreen?

Hi everybody!
I have a question, pretty important to me. I have MTCB_KD_V2.41 unit running on Android 5.1.1.
Question (sorry for bad english, I´ll try to keep it simple): Use additional monitor (foldable on dash) to run GPS software (sygic) installed on head unit and at the same time to keep on head unit some other app opened (music, video, youtube....)?
Reason is that I have VW Mk4 Jetta so when I am using GPS I can´t have eyes on the road because HU is down in console, close to the shifter!
One thing I am sure is that HU have one or two video outputs!
Tnx in advance!!!

I don't know the answer but I'm interested.
Maybe I'll put in displays in the headrests for playing video for the kids if this is an option

I have an Hizpo branded android 7.1.2 XRC unit (direct fit for a 2007 cr-v) and here are my experiences with this android deck in terms of dual zone:
I have an overhead flip down monitor (which is connected to one of the video out rca behind the deck) in the back for the kids. The only 2 sources that will allow some form of dual zone for me is the DVD player and AUX input. When on either of those sources I am only able to run and display my navigation app on the deck it self (while the overhead is showing the selected "source")
If I select any other source (ie: radio, video and music player... Etc..) the overhead monitor will go black with no signal meaning my deck does not mirror the image to the video out (which I kind of hoped it did). Please keep in mind this my experience with this Hizpo deck as I do know some will mirror whats on the deck to the video out (just do a youtube search and you will see).
Hope this helps!
So, there is no way I can assign additional screen for GPS app or at least duplicate HU display?

Is there a radio app that will use the S10's built in FM radio?

Hi, does anyone know if there Is there a radio app that will use the Samsung S10 plus built in FM radio, rather than having to use internet streaming apps.
I read that the s10 plus does receive FM signals but all the radio apps i keep downloading seem to be internet stream only.
Thanks
James.
