FM Radio - Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers

Does anyone know where we can get the Sony Fm radio for our device? I've checked on apk mirror and none of them are working!

FM radio is either physically absent or disabled in firmware, so no app will help you to get it. From my investigation only Japanese models can support it (probably).

But others are using sometimes the same hardware (Snapdragon) and FM is enable on their firmware. Does someone knows how to modify kernel to activate FM on Sony's firmwares/kernels ?

is it possible to use internal FM radio as FM transmitter?

is it possible to use internal FM radio (e.g blackstone fm radio) as a build in FM transmitter to transmit sound from my phone to my car radio? is it possible by software or is special hardware required?!
Dont think so.. A receiver is not a transmitter. its like trying to burn dvd with a dvd player..
that was my thought either, but it also was just an idea how our devices hardware maybe can be manipulated by software for a different use. and I won't think about the example with the dvd-burning in a dvd-reader, more like using a mic as a speaker, when you plug it differently into e.g a dictaphone ... or something
I don't believe that you can.
It seems to be possible on some chip like BCM4329 that is included in some phone (desire Z or nexus 1). Don't know if some mod ever used this FM tx chip.

radio transmitter app?

Anyone know if there is an App that allows you to transmit at a frequency that can be picked up by your car radio?
That is hardware specific, nothing to do with software if the hardware doesn't support it.

I can not figured out the reason

Why not we?
Do we have other chip responsible for FM radio?
Which? (can not find model/name too)
Could somebody from gurus explain what we need for it?
Missed files? Patched kernel?
(and please don't offer to use any internet radio instead: I know I may do it)
I think its BRF6350 is the chip we are using for bluetooth and the fm radio (same chip) ,cant think what firmware we use brf6350.bin or brf6300.bin.
Also we'd have to sort the antenna out as the bluetooth uses internal and radio use's external (headphone's).

Spirit FM Radio app compatabilty

I have been talking to the developer of the Spirit FM Radio app. For those who don't know about this app, on certain devices you can use the bluetooth chip to receive FM radio. Well anyhow it looks like this tab does not have this capability.
