hi people..

i just wanted some opinion here..

can anyone share their views on how to use FM modulator?

to be specific.. what is the best frequency to be used as the channel?

i have successfully synchronize my FM modulator with my car radio.. and i've manage to play my mp3 using it.. but unfortunately, i could here buzzing sound while playing the songs.. can anyone help me with my problem here?? it is so annoying..

i think that is normal... radio frequency wont be ask clear as playing a CD..

i oso suffer from the same problem..

oh alrite.. thanks..

Lower down your radio antenna to reduce interference from radio stations.

no, it shouldnt be like that.. i used to have fm modulator, no inteference at all.. manually tune to a channel that u wont hear any other radio channel sound, even a faint sound.. that should be the good one

I usually live with it.. since for RM35, it's a bargain to a proper mp3 player..since I ain't an audiophile

If u're using USB ThumbDrive as your storage, please use one old pendrive for the modulator specifically for your car entertainment. Dont mix up with other files. You'll lose the files as you'll probably lose your pendrive due to (most probably) unregulated current from the cigarette lighter socket. Maybe not all modulator will do that but most of people who used it (including me for my old Wira) lost at least one thumbdrive....

The best frequency is try to stay away from any frequency the radio broadcast station is using at your region. Take at least 5MHz away (as in if 95MHz got one station, take 90MHz or 100MHz)... but sure enough, in a big city it would be hard... well, i guess 1MHz would do... but if it didn't just lower down your antenna to reduce the interference...

u get what u pay...
that situation u get from what u pay, it's not that clear as cd/mp3 player even tho u set how far frequency from radio frequency... but just for listen to song as it, it's consider ok.. gud luck to all of you then..

Ok here's a tip, first don't install the modulator yet and tune your radio receiver to a channel where there is only noise. Try to tune until you won't hear anyone talking or any music but only noise. Then tune your modulator to that frequency. This will help reduce interference from any near frequency.
But for a cheapo thing, don't expect any crystal clear sound quality la. It's only RM25 and even comes with a remote control.

i used 1 time~
sound quality very bad~
especially when the bass volume, it canot be heard clearly~

so....1 times only then i nvr use already~

my fm modulator is MWalker brand, at least got brand la although i know they also rebrand their product from China made chepo item.
bought it for RM45, quality very good, can heard bass clearly and voice is crystal clear which makes me impressed for a mere RM45 item as a lot of ppl complain about crappy bass and unclear voice.
quality of audio wise, should be comparable to normal cd player in car.

another thing u shud look into when using FM modulator is the quality of ur MP3 files...try go for those with 320kbps/files around 8-9MB..
lower/smaller size mp3 files have been compressed so much its lost most d sound quality/details...thus when u play it using FM Modulator it tends to sucks big time & d sound is very soft...

Try to choose another radio frequency & hear the results.
But don't expect SQ quality from a FM Modulator or MP3 source.

I have a RM28 FM Modulator but the sound quality is lousy. I have seen some FM Modulators ranging from RM60 to RM100. Will the more expensive modulators give better sound quality?

i used 2 buy a cheapo one, n the quality's really really bad.. the music sounds as if the speaker pecah already.. got fed up, bought another one.. a bit more expensive than the previous one, but so far so good.. i wouldnt say its cd quality, but it is gud enough 4 me.. i can even turn the volume up very high, n still the music's sounds good..

i use red fox FT44.. for rm40++ at last year's pcfair. so far so good!

my gf's friend used a cheapo mp3 modulator and unsatisfied about the quality...
i bought her RedFox brand and she happy about the audio happy which cost RM80+ last 2 year

redbox is a good brand.
but nothing beats an mp3/cd/aux etc etc source

Not suitable to use when driving on long distance because of the radio station frequency kept changing a every states.

i use a RM30 one, clear enough and very satisfied because RM30 can play up to 4GB of songs.....wow!..

currently using 107.0 as frequency

i bought one,really cheap just for RM29.90.clear enough for a FM mode.Because Klang Valley has a lot of radio station and the frequency interval between each radio are quite close you need to find a frequency that is quite far between two radio station.I tuned it to 106.00Mhz.

I just bought a FM modulator brand VZTECH for my car.
but when i plug in the USB, it says no files.

What to do?

check ur FM modulator can support what file system (NTFS or FAT)
if ur modulator only support FAT file system, format ur pendrive to FAT instead rather than NTFS...

but it did not say anything about NTFS or FAT on the pamphlet.
how to check?

since no documentation provided, u can try to format ur pen drive into FAT and NTFS for trial-test...
at least 50-50 chances and no harm to try...

tried both but still it says no files...

I tot u open a thread for this question.
did u try other pendrive?smaller capacity pendrive?make sure mp3 files

If ure using these things on an old car, it may mess-up ur electricals. happened on my old satria...

can use already when use 2gb. but cant when use 4gb.
why is it like this?
the salesperson said can support up to 16gb.

Hi.

I just bought RedFox FT51 last week.

The problem I'm having right now is that the player won't save the play setting/equalizer, no matter what!

I want it to stay Random & use Rock equalizer.

Anyone knows how I'm going to do that?

By logic, I sure can coz the player seems to remember the last position of the song played previously.

Please help me...

Thank you.

avoid those modulator,it is sucks

it has a lot noises

save your money for a better player which can support usb and bluetooth

Check below deal. Good buy? Seems cheaper than Lelong eventhough old model.

why i get no device...?
proton wira..

Nothing to do with car model

To avoid interference from radio stations, just use auxiliary output.
Applicable only if your head unit has got auxiliary input.

Just buy a cable look like this:
