I have Centrios, but it's a piece of shit, I think I paid about $50..Music is never really clear, any advice on how to make it work, or all of them as just the same?

Originally posted by Dior Homme I hope you realize that hardwire will always be better than wireless. I've been using an FM transmitter for 4 years now and still get static on certain parts of Toronto. It will fail in certain places and be crystal clear in others. The thing isn't perfect, that's all you have to know, and it will annoy the shit out of you A LOT.

The transmitter I now have (the $20 one) works perfectly, everywhere. The tiny amount of static that I do get I barely notice (and I'm a damn picky mother******, I'd rather listen to the radio than a static iPOD), and generally only occurs under overhanging wires. I figure the secret is all those expensive ones have long 1-2foot wires that connect the iPOD to the cigarette lighter, whereas the cheap Canadian Tire version uses a 4 inch wire, so it doesn't pick up the weak radio signals the way the poorly-designed, expensive ones do.

My post was really just highlighting the irony of the whole situation. That the 20 dollar hunk of plastic with 4 station options works better than the 80 dollar piece of shit that allows you to attempt the entire FM signal range.

BTW, if anyone wants a free static-transmitter that connects to your iPOD, I can totally hook you up.

I will take you up on your offer however, I have an ipod photo.... yeah the FM transmitter is located right beside the headphone jack on the top. I broke the first transmitter last year and had to buy another one on ebay because no one sells the Griffin Transmitter anymore.

It's that old! But not even 3 years at the time. Since then they have come out with 2 more generations.

So what's this cheap fm transmitter called? I gave up on my expensive one awhile back. after trying a couple of expensive transmitters myself.

can't remember the name, but its and ugly white thing with a cradle for the ipod. kinda looks like a shitty sex toy

They sell it at Canadian tire. I didn't pay attention to the brand name or anything.

It's essentially a large white plastic iPOD stand, with a hard-plastic dildo that connects it to the cigarette lighter.

Dior, lemme see if I even still have it, I was being a tad tongue-in-cheek when I made that offer but I may actually have it lying around.

Nah its cool, I don't expect anyone to have any accessories for this ipod color.

I have gotten used to the static to be honest.

I have a Monster one.

Its fucking horrible. got mine for 30 bucks off ebay . they were 100 bucks at the time. SOOOOOOO not worth it

Yeah I made the mistake of purchasing the another transmitter retail and then exchaging it for the monster on the recommendation of the sales associate... but I still don't have a good one.
