Default FM Modulators

Anyone have any success with these. I know its highly dependant on selecting the best station in your area, but i have tried the belkin and the iTrip for my iPod and the quality sucks 90% of the time. Anyone have a way of improving the sound quality or signal strength? I have a track so no tape adapter for me.

I have a Kenwood Music Keg and Sirius hooked up through the Kenwood FM modulator... sound quality is very good on bothn sources. So far, no other mods, but new speakers are being installed this Friday.

Cheers,

Good luck with all that....

delphi wont not sure about kenwood. delphi has a 6volt out that needs to be used for the modulator to turn on.

I have the belkin, full range, and I have the hardest time still finding a single unused station anywhere. 87.7 seems unused, but oddly its not available on the tunecast II, even though itson of the 4 presets on the tunecast I.
