[iTunes] Re: FM Modulators

[ecirwin at mac.com]

Just thought I would describe FM Modulators a little for the group, 
since there seems to be a little confusion out there.  There are two 
types of FM Modulators, hard wired and wireless.  The wireless kind are 
very convenient, but don't give very good quality because they are 
easily overwhelmed by local radio stations.  Many of the wireless units 
allow you to select from different frequencies, so you might be able to 
find one that isn't next to local station.

The hard wired units actually go inline with your cars antennae.  Most 
of them sold these days actually sense if there is some signal coming 
in through the auxiliary (XM, iPod, discman, etc) and cut out the 
signal from the antennae.  These are the best for quality sound and are 
relatively easy to install.

You get portability with the wireless modulators, but you get quality 
with the hard wired version.  So, take your pick.
