I know other people have done this/similar setups. I see no harm in sharing mine also.
Total cost. approx $53
RC car battery. 7.4v 8000mah $39.98
FM tranmitter: $7.85
2x Plugs: $1.99 (Extra is for making a charger cable.)
Heatshrink. $2 or so, already had this.
Solder: .10c
Headset extension cable with the end cut off $1
I had a spare curly cable that I cut up.
I cut it in the middle and used a 9v battery and multi meter to confirm the pinout. (as opposed to hacking up the plug to check)
Several times. A mistake would have been bad.
Here is a photo just after testing it linked to my hifi.
The next part will be mounting the battery and transmitter. I'll probably end up buying a better control box cover but for the moment I think I'll put it in a little padded bag, or sew it it in a sock and velcro it under the feet of the control box.
Fm transmitter will go to my mobile that I carry anyway and to earbuds/noise canceling headset.
I'll probally also get a couple of smaller batterys for short sessions.
