FM RDS Notify Application
I found this application @ http://my-maemo.com/software/applica...to=1094&faq=45 which is helpful to show the music data, caller ID, and SMS.
Did anybody try it? Quote:

Re: FM RDS Notify Application
Love the idea, especially SMS appearing :D However the comments on the app do not look too good. Will wait a bit for a later release.
Great spot |
Re: FM RDS Notify Application
Idea very good but did get to see only STOP message on radio headunit, no caller id or song name.

Re: FM RDS Notify Application
The application is buggy. I got the artiest and the song name, but did not work well. Sometimes the application send RDS information late to my Radio!!
Still a great idea!! |
Re: FM RDS Notify Application
I wonder if it's possible to also send some sort of navigational output via RDS to your car's radio. I haven't tried OVI maps (on any phone) yet, but I guess there will be some sort of guidance text along with the voice prompts.
Have no idea though on how responsive RDS would be in "time-critical" navigational terms. Just a thought... |
Re: FM RDS Notify Application
RDS PS (eight character field for station name) is not very responsive usually, depending on the car radio (dynamic PS text violates the RDS specification).
RDS RT (64 character field for frequently changing dynamic text) ought to be very responsive though, but not supported by many car radios. |
Re: FM RDS Notify Application
It is worth noting that the latest pr1.1 release included a change to RDS. It now transmist the track information rather than just "Nokia". Not found it too usefull due to the limitations of the RDS on my cra head unit.

Re: FM RDS Notify Application
I will test it in the next days, so far it sounds good.

Re: FM RDS Notify Application
isnt it possible for the fmtx to make the radio switch over to the traffic announcement when you have an incoming call ? that way no matter what frequency your tuned into you can use the phone as a hands free device , not just if your tuned in and listening to your own music on your n900

I tested it with my car radio today and was quite disappointed, with the application it simply displays "RDS" on the radio and driver display. I use a Mercedes APS 30 Navi which got RDS support. The widget displayed "Music tags / Call status -> ON", any idea? |
