Maybe you’re looking for a way to listen to
music in your car without having to set a dock on the passengers seat. You can
actually play music from your iOS device and amplify it through your car stereo
speakers via a device called an FM Transmitter. There are a variety of ways to
achieve sound through your car speakers and some new car stereo systems even
come with special iOS dock and plug-ins. However, the FM Transmitter has been
considered the easiest way to achieve solid results for a very low price point.

Transmitters
An FM Transmitter is actually very easy to
use. One side of the transmitter hooks into your car’s auxiliary power outlet
(cigarette lighter) and the other end hooks into the audio port on your iOS
device. It varies from product to product, but more transmitters have a
simplistic LCD screen, which you use to pick and set a random FM frequency (of
your choice). For example, you would set the number to something random like
107.5 or 98.7, as long as its any nuber you would find on a typical FM radio,
you’re fine. Once that frequency is set you will turn your cars stereo to the
same frequency. Once that’s done, your iOS device will sync with your stereo,
allowing you to play any music you have stored through your speaker system.
An FM Transmitter will work with any device
that has a audio jack. iPads, iPhones, iPods, and even standard MP3 players are
all fair game.

the market, but a surefine hit is the Coby CA-745. This unit is compact, sleek,
and has a full LCD display. Its very easy to operate and is tied
