OK so i want an FM transmitter for my ipod. i want to get a good one for the cheapest possible price

my brother has a Monster transmitter. he said he paid like $40 for it back in the states. They want $120 for it at futureshop: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10041185&logon=&langid=EN

But, i'm thinking i should try and find it cheaper somewhere (like the web), and use the price protection guarentee thing they have at futureshop

i tried looking at tigerdirect, but they don't sell it

any suggestions?

or, anyone know of another cheaper transmitter that works good? I want one that will also charge my ipod

Another company that makes ipod accessories is Griffin. And im pretty sure they also make a fm transmitter/car charger for your ipod.
not to sure on prices n such.

I got both griffin and monster transmitter for the car. And monster is the best you can get for your money! Its not perfect, sometime when your stuck in traffic you will get interference but if you buy the griffin its even worst. But yes my vote on the monster ipod transmitter:thumbsup:

well, so far the cheapest i've seen is amazon.com for $45USD = $51.02CDN

free shipping
but prolly gotta pay a bit for customs

I just wish that they had it advertised in CDN because then i could get the futureshop price protection guarentee thing

A lot of guys at iLounge previously said there was one generic auto FM transmitter from Walmart that was <$20 that was one of the best available (sound quality/power output). You'd have to search their forums to find it since I don't remember.

Amazon will only ship some items to Canada, and electronics are not on the list:


The following items can be shipped to destinations outside the U.S.:
