so yeah...does anyone recommend a FM transmitter (for the iPod (mini) of course) that works well with the tC?

thanks

 

i personally wouldnt use an FM transmitter because it cuts down the audio quality of the music, and isnt even guaranteed to work (my friend and my cousin have the itrip and depending on the local stations it works really good or poopy). your best bet would be get an after market deck with an aux in, granted it may be alot more than you would want the general pay off in the end is alot better imo. but out of myexperience with fm trasmitters, i had a unit that charged my ipod and transmitted too, it was great reception but just the sound quality killed me (im an audiophile..lol) which was some odd brand that i returned, but i think i saw it at target. other than that i havent really tried any other FM transmitters. good luck! =]

 

you do not have an aux input?

 

i haven't found a good one yet. my xm radio and my sirius radio both had them and i would still get crunchy sound, no matter what station i tuned it to.

if you have an 05 tc, get the aux input box like i did, then you plug in a headphone -> rca wire...perfect cd quality sound

 

I went through the same problem...couldnt find a decent fm transmitter...finally got a kenwood cd/mp3 unit with an aux input....however...i bought the DLO transpod for my ipod....i do not use it very often...but i have never had any static when i have used it.

 

meh, I picked up an iRiver thing for $50 and it's been working like a gem. 88.1mhz = empty empty empty. I haven't noticed a drop in sound quality either :o Course, I'm not an audiophile

 

tried this belkin (can tune to any fm frequency) from walmart.. worked great in the tC when i was testing it out as a gift for a friend great sound too.. here's a link

fm transmitter=loss in sound quality.....they suck....are cars come with aux out anyway...

 

the 2005 tC doesnt come with an aux jack

 

where did you get an aux input box and for how much?

 

i have the moster icar play plus that i bought from bestbuy, works really well, but i use it in my TL, the tC has a mp3 player, so i just use mp3 cd's in there

 

thats what i hate, ya see i bought must of my songs through itunes and you cant directly convert their protected ACC files to MP3 files. the only way that i know of is to burn a regular cd then upload the songs from the cd onto your computer and then take those files and make an mp3 cd. but not only would that take forever but it would take a ton of cds.

 

i got mine from myradiostore because logjam was out at the time. you need the adapter called TOY03 -AUX
