Do I HAVE to program these to use them or can I just set the channels and talk? Also would this work for 2 cars following each other?

You DON'T have to program them. They'd work well for cars following each other. We got them because I fish just a short distance from our property and my wife can contact me without the need for a cell phone.

We just set them to the same channel out of the box and they worked fine. We used them on a cruise (Holland America ms Noordam) and one of us would be in our cabin (8th deck, forward starboard, near elevators) and the other on Deck 1 at the excursion desk, and they worked fine - no interference. So, with all that metal between us, and no interference, I think they would work fine between two cars, especially in relative close proximity.

No programming at all. Turn them on, set both radios on the same channel and they work PERFECT. I hope this helps.

I don't know, but generally these things are on the same frequency so I would think YES. You just set them all no the same channel.

There's an FM transmitter. You pick an FM channel without a signal on your car stereo, usually at the lower end of the dial.The unit also has built-in speakers, so you don't *have* to connect to your car system if you don't want.

Please keep both devices on by pressing the buttons for a few seconds. They should normally pair. I have tried and was successfull. Please make sure that you have a transmitter. I had a bitter experience once that I received a receiver instead of a transmitter. I reported the matter to the dealer and got my money back.

No, you don't have to program it. There is a button to switch to weather channels, and a noise filter, and a light button. It will scan all the channels too. It has up and down channel buttons...It's not going to be heard 4 miles away... I could only talk about 1 1/2 miles with a 30' base antenna connected...A cheap Uniden 520XL for your car ($40) with a good Wilson or Cobra Magnetic Roof Antenna works way better, gets out about 10 miles, and the package costs about the same as this Cobra...

Yes, at the very least you'll need to process the signals to separate them out. Since the channel is common, you'll also have the problem with one transmitter swamping others if you don't control that as well. You might look for systems based on the PT2262 and PT2272 coder/decoder chip sets....the 'standard' for garage remotes and similar uses. Good luck with your project

you can run them independently or separately. This unit does not have volume control for each channel, that is delegated by your receiver.

I don't have the answer for this question, I only have the one pair. I would think that you'd need another setup and have them both the same channel for 2 people to watch together.

I think you will have to program them at the same time . One after the other . Program the first one then the other one right after each other

ok im a driver (part time) and sometimes i get lucky n have to drive two parties to the same place hence the need for two cars. We used old motorola two ways for a while untill they died out so i bought these, n frankly for what i need they work just fine, they do only work under half a mile with a full battery. I was 5 blocks ahead n i could hear the other driver just fine but once i hit a corner forget it. for what i use it for its fine but dont expect this to be the best source of communication out in the woods and your pretty far apart. Would recommend it for use under a half a mile radius in heavely populated areas. ok im a driver (part time) and sometimes i get lucky n have to drive two parties to the same place hence the need for two cars.

Yes, plus you get wireless headsets for each screen. I have had these for years in a trailblazer and they still work. I just let the sound play through the car speakers. I think the radio has to be set to channel 87.1 or something like that. It tells you in the paperwork that comes with it all.

Does your car use wireless headphones? Ours we followed the directions. Worked righ away. Make sure they are set to channel a or b. we have 2 seperate tvs so one is DVD a other b. they work seperatly.

The software that comes with the cable is pretty simple. The problem with a program that would autopopulate the radio is you probably wouldn't be in range of the stations. You should look up frequencys

Yes, if you have 2 units, you pair them with each other and just talk to each other that way. That's primarily how we use them.

so when buying these radios they are not set and ready for use?? do i have to program them for them to work with each other???

The manual explain in details how you suppose to connect every thing so the alarm can work. I have one , I intall it myself and it works . You have to know also that you need a transponder bypass if your car use a transponder key.
