I picked up a Monster A IP FM-CH 250 iCarPlay Wireless 250 FM Transmitter
for iPod� & iPhone from the local electronics store

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=206678505&listingid=40127622

I was hoping I could plug just the USB cable part of the 12v-auto-USB
charger into a nearby computer and transmit the iPod songs within 30 feet
of the Nutone Intercom IM 4006 into the FM radio.

But, for some reason, the Monster wireless FM transmitter doesn't get
received on the Nutone IM.4006 so I'll likely return it as a failure.

I'm not sure why this didn't work but maybe I was too far from the
antenna???

Where is the Nutone antenna anyway?

It could be capacitively coupled to the house wiring.

It could be quite far away from the intercom itself. Some of those
units had a central control unit that was put in an attic or basement.

I was hoping to get some help for an accessory that actually worked but I
guess there are only one or two people out there who actually have a NuTone
iPod setup (I guess it's too expensive for most who post).

In the end, this $300 "iPod™ iCast Wireless Solution" from NuTone that was
emailed to me looks like it might have to be the best we can collectively
come up with on this newsgroup.

The only problem is that the literature doesn't say whether it works with
the Nutone IM 4006 or not. So, I'm still looking about.

re:' ...there are only one or two people out there who actually have a
NuTone

Why would you guess that?

I would guess that it's simply not something that "most who post" have
a desire for.

Your guess implies that if "most who post" had the money, "most who
post" would go buy one.

I'd guess that money is not the reason that "most who post" don't have
one.
