Need more volume in my car

I agree direct wire is best, and not expensive, but it depends on your use. I'm using the fm transmitter to hook to to my smartphone so I can use the trapster app and hear it loudly over the radio, but still hear my music through my ipod and mp3 jack.

I bought this. While not cheap it does boost the volume considerably. I removed the cigarette lighter and hardwired into the fusebox to reduce some clutter of the wires.

I use the SCOSCHE FMMOD2 device to directly "modulate" the signal into the antenna wire and disable the fender mounted antenna. I took the module apart and mounted the switch and jack into the dash like they belong there.

Thanks for your suggestion. Have a great holiday season!

get a new head unit for your car with an aux jack. I can tell you that in most cases the sound quality through the car stereo from your phone is in large part due to the head unit itself. I have a sony xplode with USB/MP3/AUX jacks with preamp outlets.

Alpine mids and highs all around, kicker 12 sub and a memphis 250 W monoblock amp....and I have plenty of adjustability. My girl has a scion xd with upgraded sound system, factory aux sucks buttnuggets. I have to turn hers all the way up to max to hear music etc well. Same settings in my suv shake my mirrors and windows...and have great clarity.

FM transmitters are crap bro...i guess if you are looking for a 10 dollar solution?
