An FM transmitter that attaches to a smartphone gives a perfectly clear signal, costs less than $7, and only requires a cigarette lighter, standard in cars since the 1920's, and FM radio, standard since the 50's.
- cableshaft 11y agoI have an FM transmitter, and I still keep a CD in the player in the car and use that more often. It takes time to get everything hooked up. On drives greater than 30 mins, it's worth it, but if I'm just going someplace ten minutes away (i.e. most of my driving), well I'd be adding an extra 2-3 minutes just hunting down the cord, plugging it in, launching the player, choosing what I want to play, etc. Meanwhile my CD player starts the instant I turn on the car. That being said, I did get a Bluetooth FM transmitter recently that has a built-in SD card slot and starts transmitting the SD card music the instant you plug it into the cigarette lighter, so that may eliminate my need for CDs.
