Default Re: FM Transmitter for iPod

FM transmitters are crap. If this is yor only option then go for it.

I hooked up a model from usaspec to my brothers Infinity G35. Took about an hour. It really depends on how easy it is to get to the back of the stereo. His charges, allows the use of his stearing wheel controls, etc.

It was under $200.

That is the one I would love to have but don't have the back to bend over under my dash anymore and don't want to cough up the $500 they want to install it for me.

Too bad you're not near me. I actually enjoy "tinkering". It all depends on how easy it is to get to your stereo. In my car, its literally 2 screws, and a clip. 10 minutes tops. Maybe 15 minutes to run the wire into the center console.

Absolute waste of money Carlos.

I get a kick out of their "CD Quality" comment on the website. That's great, for people who put uncompressed music on their ipods, which is maybe 5% of the people out there. If you have 128K mp3's on your Ipod the sound you get isn't going to be CD quality anyway, and FM transmitters is just fine for that.

If not, you can get a new deck for pretty cheap that either has a usb port or an aux. port right on the face of it. Jack directly in from your ipod and you're good to go. Some of them even recognize that it's an ipod and allow you to use the car controls to control it. Check online or even the local Best Buy.

I hooked up one of those to my Toyota Sienna, easy job and I can now control the ipod via the steering wheel and the song titles show on the radio.
