Find the Best Station for FM Transmitter with ClearFM

phorz — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:47:44 +0000

Do you use an FM transmitter with your iPhone, iPod, or another mp3 player?

Do you know the best station to transmit on, even when travelling? I do!

ClearFM iPhone app is a simple, time saving solution to determine the best station to transmit on in a given area. Just input your current city and state and this app will tell you what stations are optimal for broadcast clarity, it even has a visual graph that shows the predicted signal strength across the band.

Tune your transmitter to transmit on a vacant station and enjoy knowing you will have the least interference. I’ve used this on a few road trips and its been very handy. Being free to download from the app store, it’s hard to go wrong here.

Getting your transmitter to work with and charge your phone, while not getting annoying error messages, is another story.

Griffin has had the iTrip line of FM Transmitters for around 6 years.

Their latest release of iTrip FM Transmitter is really special for iPhone and iPod Touch users.

First let’s see what iTrip FM Transmitter offers

One-touch setup and tuning with SmartScan – finds the best available frequency for you
SmartSound technology auto-adjusts signal strength for each frequency
Bright back-lit display for easy viewing in all conditions
Micro-USB connector to charge while you are playing
Track Controls from iTrip display
RDS support to display artist and track information on RDS-enabled radios

iTrip is retailing at $49.99 at the moment in Griffin’s website.

iTrip Controller App

iTrip has released a free iTrip Controller app in App Store. It lets you take full advantage of your iPhone or iPod Touch’s multi-touch display.

You can tune, scan or access up to 3 preset stations for your iTrip.

iTrip Controller App should work for any iTrip models released after Sep 2009 so it would just this one at the moment.

At $49.99, iTrip is a little expensive among other FM Transmitters like this one. But, it does bring some of original Griffin technology like SmartScan and SmartSound that promises to make this a more fun experience for the customer.

Once this hits the online retailers like Amazon, the price is bound to be more appealing and I will update this post.

It’s great that the iPhone can receive so many Internet radio stations that I can listen to anywhere I am with the 3G connection.

Wouldn’t it be great if I could play that huge selection through my car’s speakers?

Now, I could. With a FM Transmitter.

What is a FM Transmitter?

If you are unaware of this cool little device, it’s time to learn what it is. A FM transmitter is a small dongle that you could plug into your iPhone or iPod (dockable models) and all your music will be transmitted in a FM radio channel of your choice. Now, you just have to tune your car radio to that station to listen to music from your iPhone/iPod.

If your car doesn’t have an audio in jack, you are going to love this. A FM transmitter can broadcast your iPhone/iPod Touch music wirelessly to your FM car/home stereo. You just plug the FM transmitter into the dock connection and start playing your music.

AV Labs has a cool looking iPod Touch/iPhone FM transmitter. It lets you even adjust the FM frequency you are broadcasting on. It sports stereo quality sound and comes with a free car charger adaptor as well.

Buy.com has the AV Labs FM Transmitter for iPod/iPhone on sale for $13.99 + Free Shipping. That’s $26.00 off the original $39.99 price tag. Most of the reviews for it seem good at Buy.com.

The car we use on road trips has a audio-in jack and I am still tempted to get one at this price.
