Can you help me find a cheap FM transmitter for my iPhone?

Sep 15, 2011 2:50 AM

I just got a job at Enterprise which sometimes requires me to drive semi-long distances through some places where the only radio stations are for old country music and programs where you here "And Jesus said..." a lot. So, I need to find a way that I can easily listen to the music stored on my iPhone without headphones, because I'm pretty sure it's illegal to do that while driving. I figure the FM transmitter would be my best option, but the only ones I could find are around $50 at the cheapest. So deals.wooters, your mission, should you choose to accept it is to find me a decent FM transmitter for my iPhone on the cheap. It doesn't have to be fancy or anything, it just has to work well and not drain my little bank account.

I hate you. There's no old country music around here. I love country music.

Forgot to mention: Traveling over long distances, it gets annoying changing stations in a metro radio filled environment. But I don't think you'll have that problem...

@coolphilip04: I like country as well, to a certain extent, but I can only hear so many songs about lovin your sweetheart and her leaving you before I have to change the station.

@jsoko: thanks a lot. The reviews seem a little mixed, but for only about $20, it seems like it's worth it.

It is still there but the coupon is expired. I have one. It surprised me as you can place a SD card or USB jump drive or 3.5mm cable into it. I am not sure what your iPhone needs. It came with a remote with a digital tuner.

Do not get a FM transmitter without a digital tuner, the stations never come in just right.

Does the car have a tape player? If so I'd suggest a tape player adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Audio-Cassette-Adapter-Black/dp/B001F9DJOO/ref=pd_sim_auto_6
In my experience they work a lot better and are a lot cheaper. I can never get the FM transmitters to not have a lot of static. Also, if you have an aux port, you could just use an aux cable.

@adam113089: No cassette player in any of the cars. Some of them have an aux port, but not all of them do, so FM is the only option that works for all the different vehicles I have to drive

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
