"Moto CLIQ hacked to enable FM radio, easy listenin' coming soon"
Someone quick! Buy this man a Droid!!!!
The whole idea is one device that does it all.
The funny thing is, I am the exact opposite of everyone else here. I could care less about tuning FM... I want to be able to transmit FM.
so any news about this ?"Moto CLIQ hacked to enable FM radio, easy listenin' coming soon"

If the devs can get FM transmitting from the DROID to work, then yes.
Ok, so everyone seems to be hung up on listening to music or whatever on their car or other radio.
What about all the other things in our life that use FM transmissions.
If this Moto Droid is the "Does" phone, then why not start using it for some real useful things?
Like replacing your car alarm key fob. Car alarms send their signals using FM. Alot of the new cars are coming out of the factory with keyless entry and use a keyfob instead. It would be great if you only needed your phone and a code to open and start your new car.
In checking out the new Droid X specs I found a post with a link to this TI extends a warm welcome to Motorola?s Droid X - Mobile Momentum - Blogs - TI E2E Community
Basically it states that the fm, bluetooth, wireless network chip in the new Droid X is exactly the same as the one used in the original Droid. Anyone think that now, since the Droid X has wireless N and a working FM radio someone out there may be able to get it working in the Droid fairly easy as well?
It's not exactly the same. Droid uses OMAP3430, Droid X uses OMAP3630. The biggest difference seems to be the die size. You could be right though, that the radio chip is probably the same, I know the GPU is identical. It's possible that we might see people able to get these things working on the Droid because I think the problem with FM radio right now is that Motorola never bothered to program drivers for it.
You plug the fm transmitter into the jack on top of the Droid, and set it to transmit at an unused fm frequency in your area. Then tune the car radio to that frequency. If all is well, the music from the Droid will play through the car radio. HOWEVER, this system is not the best for good sound. I have an older car radio with an attached cassette tape player, and use a cassette adapter to actually play the Droid through the tape player. Almost as good as a direct wire connection to the car stereo.Greetings everyone! New guy here, my first post as I'm a new recent owner to a Droid. Here's my question for any who can give me an assist. I have a basic car stereo without the now-common jack plug for people to take their ipods and MP3 music on the go. So I don't have that plug, but I want to be able to use my Droid as a de facto music player through my car stereo. A buddy of mine told me there's, I guess, an RF-type adapter I could buy? But as I've been checking online trying to do my own research, it sounds like there's a way to tune your car's radio station to some frequency that, when having your Droid plugged into a cigarette power port in your vehicle, might somehow "synch" your phone in a way that'll allow you to play your music through your stereo based on that radio station frequency? I apologize for sounding confusing (because I am) but if anyone can help clarify for me what I need to make that happen, I'd be much appreciative!
A what?? casette?? what's that..>LOLand use a cassette adapter to actually play the Droid through the tape player.
