can I use this to transmit from an IPad or IPod to my home intercom's FM receiver to enable play throughout the house?

This is simply a transmitter to adapt to FM radio. It used only the common frequencies of your car radio - 88~108 MHz. I doubt your "home intercom" system uses any frequency in that FM range. If you are looking for a whole house audio system then you will be disappointed in the sound quality of a mere intercom system.

En.N is correct on a lot. It also depends on how open your frequencies are. Let summer, i lived in a place with lots of open sources on the dial and reception was easy. I could pick up a signal a quarter block away.Now, I'm living in an area where there are no true open areas on the dial and i can only transmit within a two room radius before interference drowns out my signal.

Yes. The cable from the CCrane FM2 goes into the headphone jack of your iPad and all else works the same as from any other source. "Throughout the house" will depend on how big the house, what kind of walls (drywall will allow longer transmission than metal lath and plaster, and type of receiver and receiving antenna. In my house, the range isn't QUITE "throughout" even though I have done the power-increasing tweak.

Honestly I don't know for certain since I just use it to transmit from streaming audio on my computer to my digital FM radio in another room. I think you can transmit from any device to any other, as long as you can match the chosen frequency on your FM receiver. (ie, if you choose, say, FM 100.7 on your FM transmitter, you must tune your radio to FM 100.7 on your receiver. My experience was that this doesn't work great on analogue (dial) radio, but with a digital type radio it works great. You should get the correct answer by either emailing or calling Ccrane. They have very competent tech support people to answer such questions.

It will transmit to any FM radio receiver within a close range. There are instructions on the internet on boosting the range by opening and turning up the transmitter power. Excellent unit.

Hi Jim.Don't see why not. It works fine with both iPad and phone. While the quality is a limitless less than expected the working distance and connection range are very useful.

I own this device and it really only works as a Bluetooth receiver, not a transmitter. I use it a lot to play my music from my iPhone.

I called the Satechi Co, to ask specifically about a FM Receiver that would work with iPod, and this does an exceptional job! They may have a certain one that works better with iPhone, if you call them. It works best away from populations with lots of radio stations.

If your ipod has bluetooth, then yes. This is intended to plug into a speaker in jack, so it is a receiver, not a sender.

This device has a 3.5 mm plugin (as shown in the picture) designed for connection to an iPod or some other source of MP3 music. Although I haven't done so, you could connect the jack to your computer sound output. Then the FM Transmitter will look for a suitable FM receiver on one of its 5 channels (covering the FM reception rage). It looks for a clear channel that will not interfere with a nearby broadcast. So far, your setup should work if your FM radio is close to your computer. But the range of the Transmitter is limited. If you want to go from a computer upstairs to a radio that is downstairs, it probably would be out of range. As you probably know, the device is designed to allow you to make use of your automobile amplifier and speakers to give you good volume.

Yes, either through the iPhone connector or through Airplay using your wireless network. I use Pandora, Spotify and iTunes radio through Airplay and my wife prefers to use the connector.

Maire, I don't think you can since your transmitting device can only be connected to one device at a time usually. I've never tried your scenario though.

The transmitter is designed to input a stereo audio signal and to output FM encoded radio signal for FM receivers. If I understand the question correctly, The answer is no.

Yes you can use it by iphone or ipod. It is Ok to listen. For best effect, you need an amplifier.

Yes. I have three different units throughout my house. You can individually select each unit with paiting from a phone or computer. Furthermore, you can select numerous units to simultaneously play the same audio if the units are told to do so through iTunes on a computer. My multiple unit set up works great and is pretty convenient. Works best with a strong wifi network though. If you have a faulty router, you might experience some lag or stopping of audio.

I don't think you can stream (or push) music to multiple Airplay devices from an iOS device. BUT, that is easily possible from a Mac computer, I do this frequently at home to play the same music in the living room, office and the kitchen.The free "Remote" app from Apple for the iPhone/iPad will let you remotely control iTunes on your Mac from anywhere on the same network. Change songs, playlists, etc... and also select for multiple Airplay speakers to play music from your Mac. Likely a similar experience to what you are asking in your question, but an extra step or two involved. Easy enough to do though.

Yes. In your settings set it to iphone. Make sure your ipod or iphone is set to send the signal to your unit.

No, for that you need to buy a converter , but the converter will not allow to control your i pod/ phone with remote

Yes you can, but it must be paired to that device. I originally "assumed" I could use it on either iPhone or iPad and found it to be humbug pairing and repairing as I used different devices, so I bought a second one; one for each, and they both work just fine.

sync with an iPad? If you mean play via AirPlay, you'll need a receiver that's capable. but yes, that's what I do.

This is only a bluetooth receiver, you need to purchase a bluetooth transmitter to allow your I pod to communicate with your speaker. (WRONG PRODUCT)
