I was actually thinking about buying the Sony one for the w810i for use on my home stereo. How does it fare for that?

I've been told that no FM transmitters work all that well within the city since there's so much RFI. Apparently it's tough to get a clean channel to use.

I don't have first hand experience though. Just mentioning this so you at least consider that it might not necessarily be the device.

im just gonna test it out with a good one at future shop and return it if its garbage, most likely ill get the 3.5mm plug adapter for my car.

I had tried the IRiver FM transmitter that i got from Canada Computers and it's acceptable but not the best quality. Then I tried this no name (made in china) brand that my friend got and it actually worked a little better but depends where you are in the city. Unless you live in a farm somewhere, I suggest you get those direct connection to the deck. It really worth the cost. If you really want a FM transmitter, try to look for one that produce more power so it will cover the other signal. Good Luck!

faibs - I don't suppose you want to sell it now?

[Kevin@nextmod]

I got mine at Best buy. the Iriver and its serving me very well. Good quality sound and hardly any interference.

I have a Belkin, pretty good reception. But when I drive on the highway I have to change the frequency or else I get mad static.

I've used FM transmiters of varying price and quality. Nothing beats an audiolink or one of those direct digital connections. It is worth the money.

Since your already spending 40-50 for a good FM transmitter, throw in another 50 and get an audiolink. You won't regret it. If you drive around the city you'll never ever find an empty station.

I might as well add to this since the thread has popped back up...I use one made by Monster Cable and it's good one day so-so the next. I have aux input (RCA) on my deck but I've been too lazy to hook up some RCAs to it for my iPod. Personally I think FM transmitters aren't the greatest no matter what kind you get, but if it's your only option go for it.

[EvilEric]

Well it's not about the "only option". There are some hacks out there that I saw before (not recommended) that teach you how to solder into the inputs but in general i found that FM transmitters do not translate bass tones and i ended up burning more CD's.

[cwp_sedan]

Ok...I'll rephrase that...easiest option. Some people may not want to bust open the stock deck and play with it. Or maybe don't want to buy and aftermarket mp3 player. :)

I'm currently using the Belkin Tunebase FM for my Ipod Nano and find it works great in the city. From my experience, about 95% of the time it is static free and what I like most about it is that it charges the Ipod while playing. It also has an adjustable neck so there's no loose wiring that gets in the way. For me this was the easiest solution and I grabbed one off ebay for around 80 bucks.

here's a pic of it:

Have the same Iriver modle - Highly rated on CNET - Works great

- Found static/hiss depended on MP3 player - Sandisk Sandisk Sansa M240 - no static but hiss, Apple Ipod - no static and no hiss, Sandisk Sansa E260 no static and no hiss.

I use this Kensington Digital FM transmitter:

Works pretty well, obviously not the same output as an audiolink but in terms of static, I can't really complain. I set it to 88.3 and never had to compete for the signal. In terms of sound quality, the treble is a little emphasized but if you paly around with your settings you can minimize it quite a bit. Just my 2 cents, hope this helps.

I have the Griffin Digital iPod FM Transmitter:

http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=6967779E&nplm=TF456LL/A

It works great and really not many issues at all like some people are talking about. Virtually no static. I also have the "iSticky" pad so i just mount it on my dash for better reception?! I dont know, but it works great!

I do however use CD's alot so might be willing to sell it (PM me)
