FM Transmitter for MP3 player

[gtiono]

Good FM transmitters are VERY hard to find in my opinion.

Here's a reasonable sounding one

Make sure you research the quality of the reception and if possible hear it for yourself. Ive purchased a couple (both cr!@!), from reputable stores too (not ebay or cheap online ones unless you know the exact model you want).

They do exist though. The one built into my garmin Nuvi GPS is really good.

In general they are pretty poor, but they are better than nothing. Over the last 6 or so years I've gradually moved from tape&wire connection, to iTrip FM transmitter, to head unit with RCA to Mini Jack cable hanging out of the dash. To Alpine headunit with ipod control. Friends have had various FM transmitters and I can never tell the difference, they all sound pretty average. The biggest problem with them is interference. If your in a big city it's hard to find a clear frequency.

But I'd just buy the cheapest one you can find if it is just for when you borrow your dad's car. If you've got an iPod the iTrip from Belkin is good but I haven't used one in about 4 years.
