    No FM modulator will really sound great. The sound will always seem flat. Best to have a wired connection between your MP3 player and the car's HU. So best to get a HU with a iPod connectivity or at least an AUX-IN port.

    All modulators transmit soundwaves using the FM bandwidth. So the sound quality is like listening to a FM station. Not really that great when compared to the CD/IPOD/direct connectivity but its fair enough esp. if your HU does not have newer conveniences and playing the CD is more of a chore for you.

    Choose the FM modulator where the display can show the titles. But its more expensive compare to others.

    may mga murang pioneer HU na ngayon. much better to save up na lang para sa new HU. anyways, nasa 500 na rin ata yung modulator. pero kung hindi ka naman masyado sa sound quality, yung tipong basta marinig mo lang yung music pwede na rin siguro yan. hehe.

    Yun nga poh ang problem ko eh, wala poh kc aux input ung HU ko kasi stock lang poh sya and besides wala pa poh akong budget for HU upgrade eh may kamahalan poh kasi ung mga may ganung features ng HU. By the way thanks for the info, ngaun ko lang kasi nalaman yung about sa mga modulators eh hehehe....

    ok lang fm modulator kung wala ka talaga budget. I found out each model has different quality. so far, this is the best that I tried personaly.

    like most of their fm mods, this also is soft in volume. but the treble is a little bit better compared to the other models they have. it also has equalizer, but is damn crap and better off not using it at all.

    yun nga ang pagkakaalam ko din poh eh kasi dati poh sa mga tape converter pa dati iba iba din poh ang sound quality not like sa mga branded nun like sony talagang buo ang sound nya kya it comes to my mind na siguro ganun din dito sa mga modulators.

    Don't waste your money buying those useless FM modulators. I bought one 2 years ago, and I only used it once, tapos tinabi ko na. As the others have said, sound quality is the pits. Naka max na volume na HU ko, halos di ko pa din marinig. And I tried all 4 available FM stations. Sayang ang P400 petot ko, until now, masama pa rin loob ko, hehehe.

    Better save up and get those entry level HU's by Sony or Pioneer na may USB/SD card slots or Aux-In.

    minsan depende rin sa nakikinig. yung barkada ko tuwang-tuwa sa sound quality eh. pero syempre hindi siya ganon talaga sa sounds kaya ok na sa kanya un. hehehe.

    Meron din ako nito pero yung tig 480 mas maliit lang kesa dun sa pic. Ok naman saken yung sound quality di naman ako audiophile e, malakas rin naman, yun lang since sa FM nagtatransmit minsan merong static na maririnig. Wala kasi USB input ang HU ko kaya yun ang main reason kung bakit ako bumili nito para madali magpalit ng sounds

    meron kame niyan sa vios ni ermat. maganda naman ang sound quality however, wag na lang icompare sa cd and usb played directly sa head unit. i usually tune it on blank fm receptions, not on those with fm stations' frequencies

    you can buy it from your nearest CD-R king branch. bought ours from sm valenzuela with 1 week unit replacement and 3 months warranty. P400+ ata

    for me the only drawback of this emulator is that it doesn't have a random function

    totally wrong. may random function na ito, just hold play button tapos mag-iiba ang function ng play. have one in my car kasi. anyway, aux in lang naman ang ginagamit ko madalas.

    if you're on a budget, FM modulator would be fine. but better to attach it to MP3 player or ipod (with built-in equalizer) rather than directly attaching to USB flash disk. mag 3 years na yata yung sa akin, white color niya. it was a replacement kasi defective yung una kong nakuha but within guarantee period.

    I heard that there are shops who are modifying the HUs to provide aux in port. It is normally tapped after the pre-amp..... I think that this is a better option than the FM modulator/transmitter...

    +1. Naaasar nga ako kasi minsan lumalabo, or minsan naman biglang nagkakaroon ng static tsk3. Nagbalik na nga lang ulit ako sa CD Player muna hehe oldschool still rocks.

    i also bought one last year pa. used ko lang siya on long drives. the sound quality is not comparable with the direct one. pero puede na para sa mga

    wala pang budget to buy a 'real' mp3/cd player. nasira lang agad yung remote

    control. sa cdrking ko rin nabili.
