The car I'm driving has an older CD player - one without a line-in port - so I have to use a wireless FM transmitter to play my Zune through the speakers.
My mistake: buying a ten-dollar transmitter by some random company I'd never heard of before. The big problem is that the unit is difficult to turn on and off. Pressing the power button does not always do something: instead, I have to sit there and hit that stupid thing three, four, twelve times before it turns on or off. Piece of junk.
I also hate the audio quality - or lack of. Even though I'm hardly a master at detecting the subtle, beautiful nuances of a well-tuned snare or a well-played rhythm guitar, I can tell when there's a hissing in the background of every song. Move the transmitter around a bit and the hissing goes away: obviously the cheap device's fault.
A well-made FM transmitter won't do this. I know because I did, at one point, own a rather-nice one. However, that eventually broke. This cruddy replacement has done nothing but tick me off since I bought it last month.
Do yourself a huge favor and spend a few extra dollars on a high-quality transmitter. You won't be disappointed, especially if clumsy, poor-performing accessories tick you off like they do me.
