Default Is there an fm transmitter that also charges the phone?

I'd really like to get one of these: fm transmitter
But there's no real sense if the phone doesn't get charged while driving.

So is there one around that does also charge the phone or how would I go about charging the phone while being able to listen to music on the car radio?

I would try the "break out box" that comes with the htc touch pro 2. I connected it to my touch pro 2 and was able to simultaneously charge the phone, and push audio out through the 3.5mm on that.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to charge the phone (through the bottom port) and have your fm transmitter coming out of the right side, where it shows the headphones. Let us know!

looked around for something similar a couple of months ago and ended up buying this. phone plugged in and charging. music b/t to hands free kit and them fm to the stereo. also (unsurprisingly) works well as a hands free kit.

Is there alternative way to have this particular fm transmitter charge the phone at the same time?

I was wondering if the current charger for the fmtalk is 5V and the phone will require a 5V, does it work if I can get a car charger with output of 8 to 10V? Or will that fry the devices instead??

I'm hesitant to get another accessory just to use this thing and charge at the same time as it makes the whole setup very clumsy...
Any help is deeply appreciated!

Thumbs up 6 months late

what you need is probably a Y connector where at one end you have a mini usb jack and at the other end a 3.5mm jack. hope the current doesn't interfere with the audio. if you had one of these....

This one has a USB port so you can charge at the same time you are playing.
