I know the inline FM modulators are a lot better, I've used them on several cars. Just wondering if anyone has tried something like whats below and if the sound quality is decent.

| I use something like that in my Jeep Liberty, it works well, automatically connects to my phone. It also has a USB port so I can plug a charger into it. Sound quality is what you would expect from a Bluetooth device, but it beats the tape deck adapter from back in the day.This is the one I have |

I haven't used anything like that for the past 3 cars. I did have one for my 2007 Hyundai Sonata.
It was a Motorola speakerphone with radio broadcast ability. There's literally only ONE station in the Charlotte area quiet enough to use it. My advice would be to get one that has a manual tune option. The one I had came with only a "seek" button which would seek out the "best" station automatically. It took forever for it to stumble across the one clean station in Charlotte. If I accidentally hit the seek button...it was a shit-show of waiting for it to come back around to that one special station all over again. |
| I use one everyday in my car (cant stand broadcast radio). I have had it for about 1.5yrs now: Gogroove. It works great, i stream podcasts, talk radio, taking hands free calls, navigation through the speakers, and music with it. You have a find a good frequency, most new units have an auto search feature but you want the ability to manually tune too. With mine and the bluetooth unit I use for my back patio sound system, I find it works better if I use the end stereo/speaker volume rather than the phone volume. Meaning I keep my phone at about 1/2 vol and use my car to crank up the volume. I find it I have my phone volume turned up real loud the quality goes way down. |

Quoted:
Do you not have an aux jack? Can you wire one in? I just bought one for my wife that has a battery and hooks to the aux jack. Sounds great. I've wired in the Scoshe inline FM modulator on several previous vehicles, but this was before the boom in Bluetooth stuff like I posted above. Its prob been 15 years since I tried an FM modulator and was just wondering if they've come a long way since then, especially now with Bluetooth. |
