Been thinking about an FM transmitter yet everyone says too much static, not loud enough, bad quality etc.etc.etc. Think i might just gethe kensington one and ask if i can test it first to see the quality of it. has a charger for it so thats good and if i just get a cupholder thing for it, it will be all good. Plus i have an air click so i can change the song, volume etc. with a remote control.
All up probably $140 and i can use it with any car and any ipod. just one last q, how good is the quality of an fm transmitter ie. itrip etc
Well my one (itrip), it will only have static if you turn up the volume on the ipod. Basically you should give it maybe a volume a 1/3 of the way there on your ipod and adjust your desired volume with your car.
Quality of the actual music may not be great as you would straight from a cd, but I felt that was because of ipod quality in general (as in, listening to the ipod with headphones I felt was lacking in quality compared to a discman etc). It's nothing too bad at all.
There's a recommended station that itrip gives you.. I forget what it was but I found it crappy and static and went to find my own (which you can do). And now its absolutely clear.
The only problem really is that you need to keep your ipod near the radio antenna/radio itself, although I don't think that's going to be a problem because you probably want it nearby, and probably be okay sitting in your cup holder.
