I doubt it as they were not designed with the MMr60 in mind so the firmware wont have the support for it.
Checkout my photos at My Website"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together." |

am i the only one that have problems with the mmr-60? the thing is that there is always interference (liek every 10 -15sec) on the songs while using the device! i have set the channel far away from other radio station and it still sound like shit!
also the thing with "up to 10m range" is like saying that bluetooth headsets supports a range "up to 1km"
the maximum range from my mobile and the radio is at best (maximum) 1m after that it sounds really bad and it doesnt matter if om at home or work or at a friends house...

That sounds exactly like the Belkin Tunecast II.
I might hold off buying the MMR-60 if its just as bad.

One thing that gave me better sound quality was to put of the light effect on it. |

It might be down to where you live that decides whether you get good reception from the MMR-60.
I know where i live i struggle to find a free frequency with any FM radio, that might not help matters much.

one thing I've found with ALL fm transmitters I've ever used - even one I built myself and had control over the fine adjustments, they are never perfect. They never supply a strong signal and you always have to fight for a free space on the band that isn't too noisy.
To do better than that and the transmitter would be too strong and would need to be registered as a radio broadcasting station 
What I've found is that where I use it the most, on long drives, I'm usually in the country and it's easy enough to find a clear spot that doesn't have much noise. Then the transmitter works perfectly. We are spoilt by digital connections, but until you get digital wireless transmitters, or bluetooth a2dp transmitters (and a2dp radios), you probably aren't going to get much better.
It's interesting that emanulj says the decorative light when turned off improves the signal!! Typical choice from SE - you can have one thing but not the other aka W800 with flight mode but no activity button - and no way that you can have BOTH of those great features!!

This thing is just CRAPTASTIC!! I received mine a couple days ago from SE with high expectations of never burning a music cd again. Quality industrial design and packaging are awesome as always from SE. I do product design as well. Very sadly, the darn thing doesn't even work as promised!!
In my CAR:
I have a wagon and the antenna is in the third brake light area on the back windshield - top. It doesn't work when the transmitter is inside the car - drivers seat. A lot of static when in the back seat, very faint music. Alas, I put the phone on top of the car (OUTSIDE) of the 3rd brake light. it works.... very mild static. Maybe SE shoulda included some duct tape with my order!
Home Radio:
Works only 6 inches proximity from radio antenna with varying static levels. After that it is static heaven and no music. 10 meters? forget about it. With the transmitter touching the radio antenna, it is clear sound but this defeats the point of the product!! (Manual states Reception will decrease due to obstruction from solid objects).......solid object as in my car!!!???
I have tried a variety of different settings as the manual suggested but no major difference in results. I am quite disappointed as I have waited for almost 3 months for this thing on backorder!!! Its basically USELESS...did I mention this thing is Crap?!?!
SE, you let me down...and thats a very bad thing. I am returning this lovely jewel for you to recycle.
