Why FM Radio can not route sound to BT A2DP?

[oruam57]

I know that 98MHz FM Radio needs a somewhat long antenna but I can not see why that antenna should hang from my ears and tangle around my neck!
It makes me mad I can not route FM radio output sound to my bluetooth A2DP headset as I can do with audio players.
If HTC is so dumb someone should find a solution!

Sony Ericsson's radio requires wired headset as antenna too. I gueess this is the norm, but, agree with you that it should be improved.

I agree. There should be a way to connect a pure antenna to the phone and route the sound to the phones speaker or to wireless speakers.
That pure antenna could be a simple fairly long piece of wire or it might be a solid short but high performing radio-antenna.

It really doesn't matter... if the radio waves of the antenna won't kill you, then the Bluetooth will do the job... either way you're f*cked whith cancer...

Also using the headset as an antenna is common practice (Nokia, Motorola, SE, Siemens,...)... you're not gonna see anything new until the backgound technology of commercial Radios will change...

Ok, dumbness is a common practice. So what?

No new technology is required.
No (sensible) people expect a micro antenna for 98 MHz, a 50 cm piece of wire is completely acceptable.
What is required a little less dumbly written piece of software that can route the audio output (obtained using the 50 cm piece of wire pending from, let's say, my back) to the A2DP headset.
