i have a inno2bk and i'm having trouble with the fm transmitter on it. it doesn't like to work with my f700 anyone know what i should do? i can only get the inno to work if i place the antennae right in front of the screen.

do you have a car dock for the receiver or is the FM transmitter built in?

 

my sirius receiver (for comparison, I realize they arent the same) had an antenna plug that came with a small butt plug in it, which severely inhibited FM transmitting; I had to use a knife to pull it out and that fixed my problem; my receiver's fm transmitter also will not work until its plugged into the car dock.

 

try using the inno in another vehicle on the same station, see if it receivers or not. if it doesn't, then your inno has a really weak transmitter or the transmitter doesn't work without a car cradle.

 

you should consider getting a car dock either way; why have a nice radio with a nice sat receiver and yet use the FM transmitter to get the audio to the radio? if its out of your budget, just use a cheap male to male headphone cable:

something like the above link will do nicely, doesnt have to be that store or brand or length, anything cheap at walmart is acceptable :)

 

let me know what you figure out when you play around with it

oops forgot about this. i don't check the site often. i have the car cradle i just need to try it on another car first. i also tried the male to male way but the f700 doesn't show up with a aux icon that i could click so it would play.

Do you mean the male to male on the front? You have to turn on AV2 in the menu for it to work

I have an Inno and I use the AV2 jack on the front with Aux cable. Much better than the fm transmitter.

Source the deck to off and put the parking brake on. Then try it
