Choose an FM transmitter that will allow you to broadcast to any FM frequency, instead of one that only allows a few.
You may be able to get an auxiliary-in port installed on your current car stereo. Consult a reputable car stereo installer for information.
If you travel a long distance while using an FM transmitter, the radio station you are using may come into use. You will have to change the station periodically as you move in and out of broadcasting areas.
