An FM transmitter can be a great, inexpensive way to breathe new life into a failing car audio system because they are so easy to use. Instead of upgrading the head unit or installing expensive equipment like an FM modulator, an FM transmitter opens up a whole new world of listening options for relatively little cost and almost no effort.
FM transmitter tip: no more noise!
The problem is that FM transmitters are not foolproof and don’t always work well. If you try to use an FM transmitter in your car and you hear noise or interference from radio stations, these five tips can improve your listening experience.

If you have an iPhone or Android phone, you also have an MP3 player and a way to listen to internet radio in your car. The problem is that older car stereos don’t always have a way to connect a phone or MP3 player, which is where FM transmitters come in.
