Best GPS iPhone FM Transmitter Review 2011

MP3 FM transmitters have become quite popular, but they also have their hang-ups. One in particular is noticeable more in the larger cities than most other places. It is hard to stay tuned to one FM frequency because of having access to so many local FM stations that tend to cause interference with the low power frequencies available in the FM transmitters. MP3 FM modulators will help some, but the problem transcends even that remedy in a few localities. However, a couple of iPhone FM transmitters seemed to have found a way to sidestep that issue. This article is to provide an iPhone FM transmitter review that may be a help to those who are researching the possibilities of purchasing a unit in the near future.

The silicon stalk is firmly attached to the power adapter plug that fits into the auxiliary power or cigarette lighter port located on the dashboard. The cradle includes an adjustable clamp that gently and securely holds most audio devices by way of silicon gel pads on the back and sides of the clamp.
