Mp3 player FM Transmitter help?!?

So I finally got an Mp3 player (non-iPod). I also purchased an FM Transmitter so I can listen in my car (I do not have a cassette deck, just cd). Problem is, the sound isn't all that great (i.e., static, radio station cutting in). I have found that if I hold the cord where the transmitter plugs into my Mp3 player, it works better, but is obviously quite inconvenient. Is there a solution to this problem, or is there another way to listen to my Mp3 player in my car? Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi is this the mp3 player and transmitter you messaged me about or is is a differnet one? I figure it must not be cause you couldn't have ordered it and recived it so quickly. What FM transmitter is it?
Reply:Well it really depends on how much you spent on the transmitter. and if you didnt buy an ipod then this could be a problem. most companies that make transmitters ect. usally care more about owners of ipods then another maker. soo the one you bought may be one a company just made just to sell it and didnt' raelly care how well it worked. But id This one.....

Copy and past this into your url box. I have this one for my ipod and let me tell u. it is 70.00 which is alot but it works great for me. maybe a couple of times a month it wont work that well and ill get static but it works great other wise. But if you spent 30.00 on your transmitter then well you get what u pay for. u really do. But try and take it back and tell them u just want to pick out a different one cuz this one sucks. i heard the monster ones are good too. Oh yeah mine charges my Ipod too. You want to look for ones that can charge your MP3 player because that means that it has alot of power to boost the signal. Otherwise the transmitter isn't that powerful.








hope my answer helped you. Good luck.
Reply:i would just say return the transmitter and get another one


it may be faulty
Reply:Honestly, I would suggest getting an audio extension cord. It is basically used to extend headphone wires; it is a double-sided audio cable with the male parts on each end.





Plug one end into your MP3 player, and the other end into your FM transmitter. Run the wire from the MP3 player to the FM transmitter, and try to get the transmitter as close as possible to your car's antenna. Metal roofs on cars can severely inhibit radio signals to accurately reach their destination.





Secondly, fine tune your channel. I'm not sure if your FM transmitter has a dial or a LCD-type screen, but make sure that your radio and transmitter are tuned as closely as possible.
