Scosche Ipod FM Transmitter

[jasoncardenas21]

I just wanted to make mention that I didn't shell out the $80 that Belkin wants for their Ipod FM transmitter. Scosche makes an FM transmitter, model IUFMD and it is great. Sends a great signal and they have the best customer service in the world.

Hope this helps for all of you.

Thanks for the info! It is always nice to find a cheaper alternative that works just as well.

I am still amazed at how many use these things. I've worked very hard early on to buy head units that had one or two aux inputs so I could get away from those things. I know the many of the newer OEM's now offer an Aux input.

I know, the thing that I really like about this one is that it charges the ipod as well without having to use the headphone jack on the ipod at all.

I bought a Sony head unit that had an aux input in front just so I can switch easy back and forth between Satellite and iPod. FM transmitters suck.

However, if you have to use one, I've heard good things about the Scosche.

I think FM Transmitters are best used in the house.

question

Does it transmit far or do you have to have your radio next to your ipod?

 

[jasoncardenas21]

I haven't really tested it to see how far it transmits. I just know that in my truck, there is no interference at all. I'll test it and let you know though.

Is this compatible with iPhone? I could use something like this for the car to play Slacker and Pandora over the stereo.
