 1980 corvette conversion Sep 09, 2009
By Mark
"mark"
I wanted to keep my 1980 corvette original am-fm stereo radio but still be able to use my ipod. The fm modulator was very easy to install, high quality and works great. I highly recommend this product to anyone that would like to keep their original radio and still have all the modern conveniences on an ipod.

Overall, a great option for adding AUX to your car stereo Apr 29, 2010
By racer2086
So basically this is a fantastic way to add an auxilliary device to your current car stereo with the most minor of modifications. It's especially fantastic when you don't have any other way to wire things in, such as harness patches, aftermarket systems that replace the CD changer, or a new headunit.
This is the second unit I've installed. The first was about 6 years ago in my '85 Mustang (keeping it all original). This one went in a '98 BMW (essentially no other options at all). Easy install each time. Be aware that for non-domestic vehicles, you may need an antenna adapter. My Mustang just plugged right in, but the BMW required antenna adapters.
Required for install: a 12v switched power source, a ground connection, and a 1/8" to RCA phono cable from RadioShack. Plug the antenna into the modulator, plug the modulator in the back of your radio, and mount the on/off switch for the modulator somewhere accessible. Done.
Sound quality has always impressed me with these. Sure it's not the same as a direct connection into your system, but for not having to hack anything up, lose your CD changer, or spend $$$ on a new headunit and install, it's great. I get no hissing or extraneous noise whatsoever in either car.
Picky people and audiophiles will say that sound is decent, but lacks the full range and clarity that for instance you would hear out a CD in the car. Also, like the radio, audio does sound a little muddled and not as crisp as a CD. I agree. But to put it in perspective, this modulator is 20 times better than a wireless FM transmitter (no noise, no batteries, better sound) and 100 times better than no iPod/mp3 player.
Overall, I feel the sounds is very good and I will be very happy with it for years to come. I've been using it in my Mustang for years now, and will do the same in the BMW. Don't forget you can tailor the sound for your system using the EQ on your iPod/mp3 player and adjustments on your headunit. I put my iPod on Treble Booster, bumped the treble and bass a little on the headunit and it sounds very very good.
I gave the sound quality 4 stars, but it deserves 4.5 (at least the way it is installed and adjusted for in my systems). Overall, for $30, this thing gets 5 solid stars from me.

really good for what you pay for =) Mar 18, 2010
By LsK1128
Alright, this just came in a few days ago. (props to car toys, shipping time wasn't bad at all, given that the product was shipping from Washington, and I'm in Jersey.)
Anyway, I installed this product today, and was pretty impressed. Installation was a breeze, I didn't use the proprietary plug for the power, I snipped and stripped the wire and wired it to the fusebox under my steering wheel. Overall, installation took about 15 minutes. 10 of those 15 minutes was the disassembly of my center console and getting the actual stereo out. The cable diagram was extremely easy to understand, and it is very much possible to go through the installation through common sense alone without use of the instructions. It's simple, take out your antenna, plug it into the modulator, plug modulator into the antenna. Then find a power source and a ground.
Sound quality was pretty good. I expected it to be worse to be honest. In comparison to the tape deck I was using beforehand, it did fall slightly slightly short. To the casual ear, the difference is completely unnoticeable. I only state that there is a slight difference because I'm one of those people who can tell the difference between 320kbps and 256kbps mp3. Basically, you can make up for the loss in sound bandwidth by upping the intensity of the EQ in your stereo and having higher quality mp3 files. With this product, i was able to just barely match the same sound quality of a griffin smartdeck by just bumping the bass and trebles a few notches higher than where they were previously at. There is still that very subtle "emptiness" so to say. I'm very picky with my sound quality, but I'm 100% sure that most people will be satisfied with this product.
I mainly bought this because I was sick of the mechanical noises my tape deck made whenever it was in use (clicking, scratching inside) and it was easily noticeable over the music unless you cranked up the volume, which obviously isn't what I wanted to do ALL THE TIME. My tape deck was also beginning to fail. It would randomly switch sides of the tape and cause my music input to not play. Also, I hated that ugly wire coming out of the tape door.
This product gave me everything I expected it to give me:
1. no background noise (clicking tape deck)
2. ability to hide wires and keep everything neat and organized
3. deliver consistent good sound quality for a low price
Ease of use gets a 4, because it is extremely easy to use once it's installed, but the installation itself may be a turnoff for some. The fact that you have to tear open your dashboard, get behind your stereo, and tap into your car's electrical system may be daunting for some. Not everyone hardwires radar detectors and head units for friends all the time like I do. It's not a difficult installation by any means, but if you feel uncomfortable doing it on your own, then find a friend who can do it for you. Just don't pay someone to do it, because anything less than $5 would be a ripoff as it's 10-15 minutes of work at most. A little more if you put the effort to hide the wires and mount the switch and an actual input port behind your dashboard to make it look legit. For now, I'm leaving all the wires hanging around and taped under the steering wheel to somewhat hide them. I'll save the wire hiding and hole drilling and such for another day.
I would rate sound quality as a 5, but the quality isn't as good as say, a legitimate auxiliary port on a stereo. Obviously the bandwidth limitations of FM limit the quality of the sound more than a tape deck does, and there is a subtle "hiss" in the background, and I stress that the difference is there, but not noticeable for most people. If I were to analogize in terms of video, I would say the difference can compare to that of normal RCA video (the yellow video cable) and S-Video (the round circle cable). If you're an audiophile, the difference will be night and day. If not, it'll sound well more than adequate. Either way, it's a great way to have the convenience of an auxiliary input for your stereo which doesn't have one, without the need for a new stereo head unit and it doesn't put a hole in your wallet. All in all, I'm very happy with this product.

A must for music enthusiasts Dec 10, 2009
By B. A. Cox
"Digital Whizz"
I am a service tech at the RadioShack and was looking for a good way to get my music from my netbook on the speakers of my car. I was usually using a cassette converting deck but was getting a thumping noise. I received the modulator; following the instructions, installed it that very night, and then tested it. I was very pleased that the audio quality was clear and there was no white noise from the radio when I turned the volume up as loud as it went. The music was also very clear and brilliant sounding with no distortions in audio quality.
WARNING: you do need coax adapters for vehicles that have different antenna plugs that attach to the radio. I did not wire the ground directly to the metal chassis but directly to the battery (-). I did not experience any noise from that connection like another reviewer did (it might vary from car to car).
All in all, this is a very good product that I would recommend to any of my customers and other customers that are looking for a way to get audio to their car.
 Was decent (had static when in a big city but not elsewhere), then it failed Feb 28, 2012

"Poor College kid"
I bought this to connect my iPhone to my car stereo. It worked alright (still SOME static) for 6 months. Then, everything started getting really quiet, so I had to turn the volume to the max both on my iPhone and stereo to hear anything. I'm guessing the internal amp went out. I'm not gonna buy another one of these, so now I gotta figure out how to get audio again!!
If it hadn't failed, I'd probably give it 3-4 stars. It's a decent way to get external audio into your OEM stereo, but since I could still hear static, I wasn't very impressed. Nice stereos are fairly cheap, so I think that's a better route to go.
