FM Yransmitter

Take a look at the Belkin TuneCast II. You just need to make sure that the unit and the FM adapter have the same size audio jack/plug. They are typically 3.5mm.

And if you are in an FM congested area, be sure that the FM transmitter has frequencies that are open in your area.

i've been using a Belkin for my kids DVD player for a couple of years .... works great

I prefer units with a "search & self-tuning" function. Amazon has a wide selection.

It's one of my only pet peeves about my 760 the the FM transmitter is so weak. I know, I know. FCC regulations etc. etc. Still sticks in my craw.

Audiovox, Belkin, I've been happy for several years with an IRock unit (no longer available). Check Amazon.com or buy.com The one thing I'd suggest is to be sure the RF generator will broadcast on all FM channels. Some only broadcast on two or three channels and if those happen to be occupied in your area it's unusable. Also get one that operates both on batteries and while plugged in to your power port. Plugging in is nice for travel.

Once you have the little transmitter, check this site: http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/vacant It'll provide a list of unused frequencies in your city and others you might travel to. Check carefully and you might find one frequency not used by any area stations.

And finally, don't expect crystal clear sound like you'd get if you hardwired between an audio source and your car stereo (or even used one of the cassette adapters). The FCC only allows a certain amount of power and it is very small, somewhere around .25 milliwatt I believe, it may be less. The restriction is there so you don't interfere with another broadcast, maybe in a car right next to yours using the same frequency. That said, the antenna used can make a huge difference. In the case of our Nuvi that might be part of the problem most complain about.

I tried a few different kinds, the Belkin MM suggested seemed to work the best, and you can pick it up at your local Wal-Mart.

I use a Pyle PLMD1 as an outboard transmitter for my Sirius radio.

I have a two acre yard and using a Walkman radio, I can hear the transmitter in the house loud and clear all over my property. I can hear it on my car radio up to 1/4 mile away from the house.

The only limit is that it only has two channels 88.7 Mhz and 89.1 Mhz. If you have a local FM station broadcasting near there, then it will cause interference.

This transmitter has been discontinued for about a year now, but still shows up at the odd discount store and on eBay. You may not be able to find one, but if you do, snap it up!

Here is a rv site that has an FM transmitter that lets you search from 87 --107 and has LCD readout. They also have gps's. If the link doesn't work then just go to www.rvtoyoutlet.com the look in the catagories and select misc.

Here's another solution:
