MUMBAI: Grantwood Technology, makers of the popular TuneBand armband, and SimpleLight for Kindle, have announced the release of the FM transmitter 2.0. The FM transmitter allows anyone to play any audio on their mobile device through the car stereo. Enjoy music from a personal collection, audiobooks from Amazon, and streaming audio from popular apps like Pandora and Spotify.

The FM transmitter is compatible with any device with a standard headphone jack, including iPhones and Android phones, iPads and Android tablets, iPods and other MP3 players, as well as Kindles and other e-readers. It also contains a USB port to allow anyone to charge the same device that is playing the audio, or charge a second device.

“We are pretty excited about this,” says Grantwood V P of Sales and Marketing James Simpson, “Our initial version sold extremely well. We actually ran out of them. Based on feedback from our previous customers, we have made some improvements, and currently have enough supply to meet the pent-up demand.”

For the initial launch, the FM transmitter is available online at Amazon and at the Grantwood Technology website. Later this year it will be available at traditional retail locations.
