Zune in Car over FM

cyborg939 · 12-20-2007, 03:38 PM

How do you use a Zune in the car to charge and pump tunes through the radio over FM. Are there any good FM transmitters that also charge the zune 80 in the car?

Pricey!!! but

Amazon.com: Zune Car Pack v2: Electronics
EDIT: I'd personally go with an aux port (because the quality is better)

It's an alright thing, I bought it for about $30. It depends on the Station Signal Strength so sometimes it's not that good.

Belkin makes something that will charge and transmit as well. I think it's for about the same price too.

But... I think the zune car pack v2 is better. Cause it will work fine with any zune.

I've got the Zune fm transmitter made by Microsoft, and it seemed to work good at first, but now the reception and sound quality aren't as good. It hurts that I also live very close to Chicago so there are too many signals for me to find a spot on the dial to get the optimum reception.

Hi,

I also got the Zune FM Transmitter from MS, but I am a bit disappointed with the performance compared to my AudiaX II ( http://www.myfmstation.com/html/audiax_ii.html ) ! The AudiaX II is way better than the Zune FM Transmitter.

Just my opinion.

Cheers,

JCE

The only drawback is that it has no presets. So if yo get in a bad are, you need to manually adjut it. But otherwise it's really good. In certain situations, even a friend driving before or behind your car can listening on the frequency you have dialed in.

I bought a cheap belkin tunecast 2 from walmart for $20, and popped it open and installed a new antenna that is 5ft long. I can now overpower the clearest stations with my music.

If anyone is interested I can help you out. By far the best FM transmitter after the mod money can buy.

that's impressive. With the average transmitter, you can barely listen when the player is in the back seat :P

Same here, only my antenna was only a couple inches.
