Whats the best FM Transmitter?

[LBushnell]

I'm gearing up for a long trip next week, and would like to connect my TP2 to the cars stereo system, the only way i can think of is a FM Transmitter. Anyone know of a good one I can buy? I'd like one that connects to the bottom of it, with another power input so i can charge the phone at the same time.

I bought one at Radio Shack a couple weeks ago...it doesn't plug into the mini-usb port, though, but the 3.5mm jack, which is fine, because it's a skinny plug and I can still plug in my charger if needed. I bought the one that also works on batteries, so I can use it @ gym (or wherever). Think I gave $30 or so for it...?

All FM convertors suck except the ones that hardwire into the antenna lead......

I hope you have a better experience with yours, but I've been disappointed with the Sprint TP2 <-> Moto T505 setup.

I had the T505 starting with my Sprint Touch then my Sprint Touch Pro. Both of these phones worked flawlessly and the T505 controlled play/pause, next, previous, answering calls, etc.

However, it appears because of the TP2 having a different bluetooth chip, it does not support everything and it really only plays the audio through the stereo and the buttons do not work at all or do not work correctly...

I have just moved from a Sprint Touch w/6.1 to a TP2 w/6.5 and have found the same behavior. By chance did you ever find a fix for your compatibility issues (T505 controls) between the T505 and the TP2?

Nope, from what I have read in all the forums on this issue it doesn't seem that there will be a fix for this. The Widcomm (I know I spelled this wrong) Bluetooth has issues with a lot of Bluetooth headsets and car kits. Unfortunately the T505 is one of them. I was hoping with the HTC update for Sprint TP2 to 6.5 would bring a fix for this, but it didn't.

My opinion was the same as yours until I tried the T505. To give you an idea, I drove from Austin, TX to Atlanta with it and played my music from my Touch without a hitch. I will say that in metro areas where the airwaves are crowded it can be an issue to find a consistently clear frequency but, here in Atlanta, I have had few problems.
