Sandisk Car Transmitter Sansa info |
Sandisk Transmitter Sansa for you car radioSanDisk® Corporation's car transmitter -named Sansa and available since fall'05, is a device that plays music stored on a SanDisk Sansa MP3 digital player through your car radio. This transmitter plugs into a standard vehicle cigarette lighter and transmits music from the portable Mp3 player through an unused FM frequency on the car radio. This allows you to take a large library of music. Sandisk states that as many as 48 hours of MP3 music and 96 hours of WMA music* is possible when using a Sansa 1-GB player combined with an optional SanDisk 2GB SD™ flash memory card. (WMA=Windows Media Audio and GB= 1,000 MB capacity) The Sansa Car Transmitter is a one-piece device that has a custom holder for the player. Attached to this is a flexible steel neck for easy positioning and, at the opposite end, a 12-volt connector for the lighter socket. The vehicle’s power system runs the player, and so conserving the life of the Sansa’s battery. To set up the Sansa Car Transmitter to the FM radio is an easy three-step process, says Sandisk. They indicate: first, tune the car radio to an unused or weak FM frequency, which often can be found at each end of the dial. Then, locate the same frequency on the car transmitter by using the channel search buttons, then and press play. The system allows up to three presets be programmed with the memory buttons, and frequencies can be viewed on the blue backlit LCD screen. It covers the full FM band, from 88.1 to 107.9 megahertz (MHz). This Sandisk transmitter comes with a durable transparent belt clip, which is necessary for inserting the player into the transmitter cradle, and rubber gaskets to establish a snug fit in the 12-volt lighter socket. According to Sandisk is this Sansa transmitter part of a new accessory line for the Sansa e100 series of MP3/WMA players. SanDisk introduced the players, which come with embedded memory of 512 MB or 1GB, in spring'05. Sandisk further indicates that with the player’s built-in SD card slot, users can add as much as 2GB of supplemental memory, giving the 1GB Sansa (model e140) a capacity of 3GB. And by using the Windows Media Audio (WMA) compression format, that expanded memory can store up to 96 hours of music, or the content of approximately 100 CDs, says Sandisk.
