Need suggestions for an Ipod radio transmitter

[Jakashh]

I accidentally broke mine while angrily smashing it against the center console of my dashboard.

Well, needless to say, it sucks even more now than it did before I accidentally broke it.

Any suggestions for a good new one?

C. Crane FM Transmitter

Unlike the cheaper models, this one can tune to any frequency.

Nice, but damn that's expensive

go hit your local truck stop. they have all kinds for $15 and up.

Dude, none of them work in Houston. We have way too many radio stations across the board with too many other stations coming in from north and south and we're way too flat here so stations over power these things with ease.

Does the car have a 3.5mm jack in the face of it?? If so any electronic will carry one that works without broadcasting over the air. Otherwise buy a stereo with a USB input on the face.

Yeah I have an AUX jack on my head unit. I'll just use that i guess. Why i haven't so far? Idk.

AUX Jack.. dude ya, use that... man, no reason for FM if your radio has one. $5 cable and you are set.

I would say just spend the extra money for a pioneer deck with a built in ipod connection. That way it charges and plays all at the same time. Easy install!

You need an iphone one... the common mini jack won't cut it.. but they have them at walmart.

The 3.5mm jack should work on Iphone's. My slide driver has an Iphone and he uses my 3.5mm jack all the time in the Frightshakers we drive.

Yup. headphone out on the Ipod and into the aux input on the radio.
Only reasons you would need the Ipod cable is if you want the radio to control the Ipod or to charge it.

If you "accidentally" broke it while beating it in anger, I'd hate to see what you do to things on purpose, lol...

Monster Audio makes a great one and it charges your ipod/iphone.

Hell I paid 80 bucks for mine and it sucks worse than dropping a brick on your toes. I need to update my head unit anyway.
