AirPlay – iPod Shuffle FM Transmitter

Jun 12, 2005 Accessories, Apple View Comments

Airplay features an easy-to-read, illuminated digital frequency display. When iPod shuffle begins to play AirPlay automatically transmits on the last used radio frequency. Selecting a new frequency is easy, simply find an unused FM frequency on the radio then press AirPlay’s tuning buttons to select the same frequency.

AirPlay for iPod shuffle is powered and charged by the attached auxiliary power adapter, which plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter or auxiliary power outlet. Whether the AirPlay is transmitting or not, it continues to charge the iPod shuffle.
