Re: Ipod and cars

[Andy Larsen]

My only caution would be that if you go this route, get a GOOD one. C 
Crane is a pretty good name I think? But avoid the low end ones--Radio 
Shack et al. I tried two different models to pump a portable CD player 
into my car stereo, and was happy with neither. I think it was a 
combination of the cheap transmitter, and the pitifully low 
power--problems either with locking onto a frequency and staying there, 
or intermod or something. It's been a few years now. They both worked 
okay, but I could never get them to produce a continually listenable 
signal. My RF modulated CD player works beautifully, where it's a 
direct connection to the antenna. YMMV.

FWIW, I didn't see Dale's original message, having been afflicted at 
the time with the "periodic bounce virus." However, I can't understand 
why people are ragging on him for asking about something he wasn't 
familiar with.

You can also go to a completely separate FM transmitter, that will 
work with any device with a head phone jack and can even let nearby 
cars share your tunes if they tune to your frequency. Check out 
http://www.ccrane.com/fm_transmitter_in_radio_accessories.asp. Twice 
the cost of an iTrip but works great. I've used it to play my iTunes 
library over the home stereo as well as in the car.
