i have two transmitters and they do suck a lot. in the city especially.. out of the city.. they are okay. im just looking for a better quality of sound where i don't want to worry about if the transmitter is in the right spot or if the station is okay. I bought an 80 dollar one and it's still a POS. i've been sticking to mp3 cds with it but that is just so much just really looking for an AUX i can just plug my iphone in to.
