I've got a company car coming soon, would like to play Ipod in car.

I can't use an aux-in adaptor, so best option seems to be a wired FM
modulator. (I reckon I can get at the aerial plugs OK). But previous posts
have indicated some modulators are poor quality.

Is there a modulator to be reccomended or avoided ?

I'm looking for FM stereo quality, and either easily switchable to
alternative frequencies or one that disconnects the car aerial when it's
switched on so no inteference.

I've discounted wireless FM adaptors as the car aerial (Honda Accord 2005
estate) is in the back side window so I expect reception to be poor. Unless
anyone has already found one that works ok with this?

I have used several of these modulators and found them to be rubbish both
wired and wireless, however bought a multichanger for my old man on ebay and
the adapter supplied to connect to his nissan did not fit so he took it to
the shop (local) that I bought it from , the guy in the shop fitted the
autochanger and supplied and fitted a kenwood fm modulator and autochanger
control module for an extra £45.
not only does it look great with it's lcd display it also sounds fantastic,
I was blown away that it was a modulator, it's frequency and mod level fully
adjustable.
No interference what so ever and sounds like a CD, just awsome.
