How to Use an iPod AM/FM Transponder for Your Car
Using an IPOD AM/FM transponder in your car is a great way to keep a variety of music on hand, especially for long road trips. Using a transponder correctly does take some time because the transponder's signal can fade in and out, leaving you with either a static sound or listening to the radio station on the frequency you have chosen. This article will help you understand the best way to operate your iPod AM/FM transponder.

Tips & Warnings
Some transponders have an auto scanner that will find the best possible radio frequency for you to use. You may rely on this but the auto scan feature usually does not work that well. Your best bet is to search radio frequencies that do not have audible radio shows coming in. For example, in the Los Angeles area you will not find many radio stations between the frequencies 88.1 FM and 89.1 FM.
Create a play list specifically for your car to minimize the amount of time you need to operate your iPod while you are driving.
You should not take your eyes off the road if you need to operate your iPod while driving.
You should not use any electronic devices that will distract you from driving.
