REVIEW: RoadTrip!

| | Comments (1)

RoadTrip FM Modulator   I'm reviewing what I consider to be a rather useful product today. Lets begin with how I came upon this item.
   It all started around the time I went on my trip to Ireland. It seems that I left a CD in the CD player in my Mustang. While you wouldn't think this would cause a problem, it apparently did. The CD in there did not want to eject. I eventually gave up after several furious attempts to forcibly extract it. I decided that until I got back to this problem I would need some other source of music besides the radio.
   So, I looked upon the great wilderness that is the shopping side of the internet. I happened to venture to one of my favorite shopping sites, Other World Computing, and see the RoadTrip! for the modest price of $14.99. I was somewhat unconfortable with the prospect of going completely round-about to get some external sound source into my car's stereo system, but I decided it was worth it. Plus, I located some reviews of it that said that its sound quality was quite good. Thus, I ordered it with EXPRESS OVERNIGHT SHIPPING, ha.
   When it arrived the next day, I was already quite anxious to hook my MP3 player up. The installation was obviously easy; hook it up and tune in your radio. I thought it was broken because my radio seeked out and found the appropriate station but there was no sound. So, I booste the volume and found that all was indeed well. Even though the volume is at max on my MP3 player and pretty high on my stereo, the music doesn't sound distorted at all. In fact, it sounds quite good. I have to say that I'm quite happy with this little workaround.
   I'll soon have the volume problem solved when I get a in-line amplifier that helps boost the volume. I've seen one before that was powered by a single AAA. I suppose that I'll have to go searching for it too.

while riding in front of you, i managed to tune in "feurer frei!"(sp?) and thought it was the radio station! that thing apparently has some decent transmitting power.
