What is the best car FM transmitter?

What other options is there to play an Ipod in a car NOT using a FM transmitter?

  • My dad is a Computer engineer, and says that FM transmitters are not great for playing your iPod because it's really only the radio station playing, not your iPod playlist. The car I have is a Honda Odessy (van). So is there a way to actually play your iPod playlist directly, and not through a FM transmitter? I just want to be able to plug my iPod in so the music will come out of the speakers. Please, NO FM TRANSMITTERS. Thanks for any suggestions.

    I found the best thing since sliced bread...http://www.crutchfield.com/S-9oDEWuNVIo6/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=142FMMOD01 It's not wireless so there's no interference. Not to be confused with an FM transmitter. Basically it adds an AUX input to ANY radio. No searching for a clean channel. It feeds your audio signal from a headphone jack ( or RCA cables) by FM modulation, directly into the antenna input on your radio bypassing the antenna when on, allowing the radio to work as normal when off. It comes with an On/Off switch. This is the answer. Totally versatile. Here's one in action - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHBI0LBGhR0 __________________ "...and says that FM transmitters are not great for playing your iPod because it's really only the radio station playing, not your iPod playlist." It is the music from the iPod. The radio station isn't there because you're supposed to pick a dead frequency (no broadcasting on a particular station). This deosn't matter for FM modulators as ANY broadcast station isn't as strong as the direct feed right to the antenna input from the modulator.

Do you have a tape deck in your stereo? if not and its a newer model Odyssey do you have an auxulary input these are you only two options, if you have a tape deck you can use a module that plugs from your headphone jack to the tapedeck, if you have an aux then you plug you head phone out on your ipod to the input of the aux on the stereo, unfortuantly these are your only options, Just out of curiosty why would you dad think you can't play your palylist on your ipod through your FM trasmitter. I do it all the time. The sound is not that great by it does work.... I don't recommend it for sound quality.

get a stereo with an auxiliary input, or just get one of those cassette things with the ipod hookup.
