Nyko Releases PSP Car Adapter

The new Power Tuner for PSP broadcasts a Sony PlayStation Portable's audio over a FM car radio while at the same time charging the device.

Nyko Technologies, a maker of iPod and PSP accessories, today unveiled a new adapter for charging a PSP while at the same time broadcasting its audio over a car stereo. The new Power Tuner for PSP looks to be priced at $19.99 and available now.

The Power Tuner for PSP, said Nyko, operates both as a charger and an audio transmitter for Sony’s handheld gaming device. Drivers plug the Power Tuner into a car’s lighter or power port and then into a PSP to give it power. The unit also uses one of three selectable FM frequencies to transmit the PSP’s audio through a car radio to the vehicle’s speakers. It comes with a four foot cable for easier placement of the PSP within the vehicle.

“The Power Tuner enhances user experience by offering multiple features at a great price,” said Susan Corben, vice president of marketing, Nyko Technologies, in a statement. “We’ve created the perfect travel companion for PSP owners on long road trips.”
