Re: iPods and FM Transmitters

im using a griffin roadtrip for my car ... uses dock connection as well

used to own a jack connection belkin fm transmitter but that was pure garbage

Jack connection systems are crap imo. I got me one of those Griffin toys as well, but mine is an iTrip Dock LCD. Quite happy about it: the quality is good and as for the interference: 88.1 is the best frequency overhere. For the one area where there's a station broadcasting on that frequency, I've programmed a back up on my car radio.

Plus I use it at home as well on my stereo, clock radio, ... I'm lovin' it!

Re: iPods and FM Transmitters

I ran a headphone spliced into two RCAs from my car dash under my radio through my center console into a 2-port RCA switch, then straight back into my amp. I just press a button to switch between mp3 player or car audio... I haven't noticed any loss of quality on my car stereo, and the mp3 player sounds much better than when I used a transmitter

Re: iPods and FM Transmitters

if you use fm transmitter you are suseptable to interferance, plain and simple. i had pretty good reception on my itrip. but to get the best possible sound to your speakers it has to be a hardwire connection. some stereos have an auxiliary input. if you do not have an aux input then you can spend (wastefully) alot of money on a connecting box that will run you at least100 bucks and up. not worth it, imo. now that my car stereo has been stolen the other day, i am now getting a new alpine stereo that has direct controls on the head unit for the ipod, all i have to pay for it is a $30 cable.problem solved. at least for me.

Re: iPods and FM Transmitters

might be better off looking up your stereo (factory-made?) and see if there's an extra/aux input on it...then get someone to just plug in the proper cable and run it down and out by one of the side panels inside....then plug the iPod directly into that instead.
