    Thanks. Even at $10 now, the FM transmitter is a good deal (free shipping). The cord is currently $.02 plus $2.98 shipping.

    FM Transmitter Bit The Dust.

    ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE FM TRANSMITTER STOPPED WORKING DUE TO HEAT!

    So it turns out overheating the FM transmitter did become a problem over time.

    I noticed one day that the phone wasn't charging and upon further inspection noticed that the plastic casing that plugs into the cigarette lighter was slightly warped, no doubt due to the heat of the device.

    The FM transmitter still works, but will cut off every minute or two. It has a built in feature where it will turn off if there is no audio signal, and apparently this feature got screwed up with the overheating.

    All in all it lasted about 2 months with heavy use.

    Anyone else purchased one of these and noticed the extreme heat generated? Trying to decide if I want to buy another one or hold out for another option.

    I bought the same one you did and it cuts out periodically for me too, although I haven't been using the charger. I have to change the station on the transmitter to get it going again, which is very annoying. Why is it turning off? Also, I live in a cold climate and the screen on the transmitter has become discolored after a month or so.

    Any better transmitter options?
