Default FM radio on aria

is there a way to create an app to turn the fm radio into a broadcaster.

just currious would be cool if there was a way to run it and use it to connect to car radio and use built in radio instead of getting an fm docking station.

Im sure its reciever only but never hurts to ask just in case there is someone out there with the knowledge to make it work if it was possible. kinda like a wireless card being turned into an ap.(i know they are not the same i was just using for an example of what i was talking about).

Although personally I do not think it is possible, since there is no hardware in there to do it, this would be a good idea for the phone manufacturer.

i run pandora,radiotime and the fm radio through my trucks sound system....for the fm radio to work the headphones are needed as an antenna but i found that if you plug a 6 inch or longer male to male 3.5mm audio cable from the phone to the line in of your cars sound system it works perfect(provided you have a line in)...basically all you need is any kind of audio line that can plug in to act as an antenna and not just the headphones....like i said the line i use is no longer than 6 inches and acts as a perfect antenna as well as the line to get sound through my trucks system...and streaming pandora or radiotime is perfect since my satellite system was recently stolen from my truck along with my gps system...#$%%#^$$^ thieves...so now the aria has definitely become my all in one and what is cool and off subject a little is i was able run the gps and stream pandora in the background with no problems...i am really liking this little beast of a phone...now if i can just figure out how to brew coffee with it..............
