voyetra8 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 http://www.hebestyling.com/autostyling.html Don't care for the blue neon, but apparently there are different color options. I wonder what the sound quality is like..... Anything would beat my stupid Monster Cable modulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davester_exallroad Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I just bought a belkin fm modulator / charger combo. I got it from ebay. I've been testing in my gardge and it seems to be ok. The only problem is that it gets in the way of the passenger ac control and is kind of cheesy looking. What was wrong with the monster one??

Just kidding But then you wouldn't be able to see song title and whatnot plus actually interfacing it would be VERY difficult!

drewster Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I just bought a belkin fm modulator / charger combo. I got it from ebay. I've been testing in my gardge and it seems to be ok. The only problem is that it gets in the way of the passenger ac control and is kind of cheesy looking. What was wrong with the monster one??Only thing going for the Monster version is that it can save 3 frequencies in memory from 88-107 so you're not stuck with 3 or 5 stations near the 88-89 range. Works decent enough when not moving but becomes hissy when you're driving around. I've never been a fan of fm wireless modulators but it's a stop gap solution until something better comes around. In case anyone still wants to buy one after my "glowing" review.... make sure you get the iCarPlay Plus, the previous non-plus version doesn't have the 3 presets. At least when I'm driving and a station fades out, I can punch up 2 more stations that may give me better sound quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voyetra8 Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 Has anyone even checked out the product I linked to? It appears that it taps into the back of the head unit, cutting out the antenna when the iPod is in use. IE- No interference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 There are also other vendors of FM modulators that cut off the antenna lead, and it still is only FM Stereo quality, not CD or high-bit-rate digital quality. Broadcast transmitters like the monster thingy are iffy at best, I have tried a couple, and it is just a pain to use (always switching FM channels) for marginal quality. Luckily my current cars have cassette decks, which don't have as much interference, but it still isn't a line in. When I get a legacy, I may just have to go with a JL Audio CleanSweep, Amp, and new Coaxial speakers. I'd like not to have to mod a new car like that directly off the showroom floor, but I can thank Subaru for making that neccesary. I am going to have to figure out some way of getting my iPod into the stereo with higher quality than just FM. I still hope that '06 will bring a Satelite/Auxiliary input into the headunit.
