iPod Car Adapters - Getting the Best Sound From Wireless FM Transmitters

Wireless adapters are a good choice, particularly if you are looking for an affordable option.  However, it can be tricky figuring out how to get the best sound quality, because FM radio signals often interfere.  Using this type is super easy - simply plug in the iPod, turn the adapter on and tune your factory car stereo to the proper station.  Now, how do you get the best sound quality?
Locating an unused FM frequency is the best thing to do.  You can often find these located on the lowest end of the dial, or the highest.  While it is getting more difficult to find empty stations because of the increase in public, religious and college radio, you can often still find an unused frequency in most areas. 
Wireless iPod car adapters use FM transmitters that let you choose an FM channel to broadcast your iPod's signal on.  For the clearest, crispest sound with little to no interference, try to locate a channel that has no signals on either side.  For example, if you find an empty station such as 90.4, check on both sides to see if 90.2 and 90.6 have no or faint signals as well.  This will insure that you get the best sound quality, with very little interference so that you can enjoy your music.
Depending upon where you live, finding channels with no signal and empty channels on either side can be difficult.  If this is the case where you live, choose the stations with the weakest signals to get the most from your adapter.  If you still find that you cannot locate an area on your FM radio that provide satisfactory sound, you may want to consider a cassette adapter or built in jack.  Before you buy, check the return policy to make certain that if you cannot find enough empty frequencies, you can return the product for another option.
