An FM Transmitter is an electronic gadget meant to playback music from an MP3 player or any other device through a radio that lacks an audio input line. The most obvious advantage of an FM Transmitter is to use it through a car stereo. This FM transmitter how-to will offer you some basic tips on how to choose the best gadget and make the most of it.

• Quality of transmitted music signal depends not only on the FM transmitter model. It is also very important that you choose the right radio station on your car stereo. You can just prowl through your FM range or check sites like radio-locator.com to search for vacant frequencies in your area.
• If you are still not happy with the signal, you may consider dismounting your car's radio antenna (to get rid of radio station signals). This should improve the transmission considerably. However, if you still want to listen to your favourite radio station, you will need an MP3 player with radio function.
• If you want to have control over the volume of transmitted music, choose FM transmitter model that can connect to your MP3 player via headphone jack.

Go to your retail store and discuss the transmitters with the consultant, go online and read as much reviews as you can.
