[Q] FM Transmitter for the Thunderbolt

---

Hi everyone, this is my first ever android device, loving it, especially with Car Home and navigation. I got a car kit (mount, charger etc) for my Thunderbolt and now the only thing left is getting a good FM Transmitter.


If you have any recommendations for an FM Transmitter to be used with the Thunderbolt, please reply here. Also if you do use one currently, let me know.

Thanks in advance

They are all pretty much the same. It's going over FM so sound quality won't be as good as it can be. Any ones that I used with past phones were the same quality (audio wise) whether it was a $10 ebay brand or a $50 Belkin.

Yes, I would like to know this as well, since I do not have an AUX plug in my deck.

Does anyone have any exprerience with a specific dock that has an FM transmitter and powers the phone, as well?

The sweet spot would be bluetooth streaming audio like Ford does with Sync, but such systems aren't nearly as available as they need to be for someone without that installed :/

I actually have an 09 Fusion w/ Sync.

I need this for the other car.

Insert my envy right here!

I use a Belkin transmitter, after trying three, I liked theirs the best.

Thanks everyone for the helpful tips + suggestions. I have decided from reading these replies that I'm going to hold off on getting an FM transmitter for now. I have a friend who is very good with cars and he told me he'd be able to install an aux input into my car for whatever the part costs me off ebay. I think I may just go with this option.

I just order this today. I'll update with how well it works after a few days with it.

Going that way will get you much better audio quality than an FM transmitter will.
