I bought one of these 8 in 1 ipod cradle/charger/fm transmitter for my ipod and I was just wondering if there’s anything I can do to increase the quality of the sound in my car radio. I get some static and I have to turn the volume up a lot…any suggestions? I’m willing to open it up if I have to.

I bought a Kensington FM Ipod transmitter and no matter how empty a station I pick, there’s always static! At first I thought it was just that particular adapter. So I splurged and bought a much more expensive Monster FM adapter, and it still does the same thing! Since I don’t know how to modify my car’s stereo to have a line in for my ipod, does anyone know of any certain FM transmitter that has a really strong signal??

I bought it from walmart today for +change & I plugged it in & the LCD light doesnt show anything. It says to I quote " attacj itrips dock cable to the dock connector of your ipod and begin playing music." I do that but the lcd screen doesnt appear & all I get is the static from the channel I chose( i also went through other ones but its the same).

I plugged itrop cable into the ciggarette lighter port in my car & it does nothing. What does it mean do I have to get an ipod dock but what would that do also? The entire thing is in one huge cable

Thats how it is the itrip auto, mine was in a different packaging though.

Anyway anyone know what I should do? Do I have to charge the itrip or something to get it to work. Cause it seems like its broken or something & I dont really want to pay another -30 more dollars for this other +tax ipod fm transmitter I saw.
I have the 5.5 video ipod & on the back of the package it says that its compatible with 5th generation video ipods.
