iPhone FM transmitters

[NetDude]

Anyone using one in his car? How's the sound quality? I'm tired of changing CDs before long trips.

I bought one for my iPod which I then used on my iPhone 4. It works great. I never had any problems with it.

I bought a Griffin from Look & Listen for R500 something.

Thanks Thice,
Surely quality drops somewhat when driving in certain areas? If so, how bad?

I had an iTrip that I used for the longest time until iOS4.0 killed it.

I've used the FM transmitter with my iPod not too long ago, and the built-in one on my N8 more recently. Don't expect CD quality, it closer to radio quality and there is a bit of interference every now and then.

The trick is to make sure that you set it to broadcast on an unused frequency, because anything close to a radio station will cause notable interference. Unfortunately in Jhb finding an unused frequency can be a bit time consuming.

I've used Griffin, took it back to shop next day complained wasnt working......just wanted my money back to be honest that's how bad the quality is!

I've got the Belkin, and don't have any complaints about it.
Obviously the quality is not the best but it works fine and if you go through an area where the frequency clashes, just switch the to the alternative one.
I'm currently using 93.0FM and that seems to be quite decent.
