Ipod FM transmitter crackly sound?

Options
Hi all,

I bought this http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/130437

p0130437c0000197p000000bk3.jpg

The sound is crackly when playing music, I have tried tuning it to different frequencies, but it does not remove the crackle.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or do all ipod transmitters make this noise?

Would an iTrip be any better?

    you will get noise,interference using them because your using a low powered radio transmitter, even on the all singing and dancing ones do it, i have found that 107.3 works well for my area (yorkshire)and most other areas too (i a HGV driver so get around alot).it only had good has the radio your playing it through too

    I'm not liking this transmitter, when the car is going along the ipod slowly starts wobbling over to the side, and I have to keep straightening it. it is also still crackly on 107.3. :(

    From what i've read, all the fm transmitters sound is not that clear.

    Think I will just stick to my cassette Ipod thing, there's no interference or wobbling there..

    must be some thing to do with the electrics interfering with the signal
