Not sure if this is the right forum but I just need to know is it possible to have FM radio with a car computer? Without running a seperate headunit?
I think I have the computer I want to use and I see all the benefits of having the mp3 and video from the computer but I still want Fm radio. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance to all

Yup, there are several FM radio devices for PCs. I beileve most of them are USB devices. Several people use The Griffin Radioshark:Originally Posted by chaskim

Avermedia and DLink also make USB radios.
There's also the AM/FM radio card that several forum members are working on:
HU Quality AM/FM RDS/RBDS Radio with Features
Finally. Many TV turner cards will tune FM radio as well. The FM frequency band is right between TV channels 6 & 7.
The USB radios are awful. They are good for when you are standing in one spot, but they can't hold a lock on frequency while you're driving
Have you tried XM? The carputer can do XM and it's far better than FM.
