ive been reading up on these and it suggests the fm modulators are better than fm transmitters because they connect in-line with the ariel lead. is this correct ? . unit in omega is fine and working correctly but in my other cars i dont even use the radio (too much rubbish!) so something that connects straight to ariel plug does sound better ?
not an option on other cars. head units to remain 'period' if you know what i mean. will see if anyone has any experience of these units and go from there.other old fashioned idea used to be the jack plug to dummy cassette tape but will see. thankyou
They do kinda work, but as Tunnie says they can sound rubbish compared to Direct input CD, Bluetooth, MP3 etc.
The main reason is your trying to pipe near CD quality through a FM Modulators Bandwidth, its never goes to be the same quality, similar story with the Cassette type setup.
The direct inline Aerial ones do have the advantage of a better FM receive signal than the RF Mod type ones but you still have the FM Bandwidth issue, the inline ones are a must for places like London where the FM Spectrum is just full up (mainly with Pirates) so no empty channels to tune to.
The really Cheapo FM Mod ones are Mono, there are some better Higher Spec Stereo ones out there which carry a cost premium, but these days cheap to buy MP3 or Bluetooth adapters I dont think its worth even going down a an expensive FM Mod route anymore, spend the money on getting the HU modded for BT or Aux In.
