Best FM transmitters for the car

Not all iPod FM transmitters are created equal — some have dodgy cradles that fling your iPod around the cabin, others roll over at the first sign of interference. We pick three of the best, so you have your tunes everywhere you drive.

Cygnett GrooveTransmit

It mightn't offer the best fidelity, but the GrooveTransmit is a handy, non-invasive way of getting your MP3 collection to play through the car stereo.

Reviews

  • Griffin iTrip Autopilot

    Griffin's iTrip Autopilot is a relatively cheap and minimalist FM transmitter that connects your iPhone or iPod to a car stereo.

  • Garmin Nuvi 760

    If you're in the market for a GPS navigator with an FM transmitter and MP3 playback, not to mention excellent safety camera warnings, the Nuvi 760 is the one to go for.

  • DLO TuneStik

    Due to strict regulations, consumer FM transmitters will always be somewhat disappointing. If you can't upgrade your car stereo or use an inexpensive cassette deck adapter, at least spend a little more money for a transmitter with better broadcast quality.

  • TomTom Go 720

    Don't let its beautiful body tempt you, the TomTom Go 720 is both too pricey and too buggy. The cliche "beauty is only skin deep" is particularly apt here.

  • i-rocks Car DJ

    Nice idea, but you might find listening to the AM radio a tad more enjoyable.
