Anybody tried one of these?

The only thing to check is make sure you have no radio stations near the bands that it gives you. That is just an FM modulator, nothing new or exotic there. Personally I would head to your local car stereo shop and pick up a name brand piece. Then you know what you are getting. You will also need a couple of antenna adapters. One to go from Motorola to standard, one from standard back to Motorola.

Def let us know how it works out. Looks like a good idea in theory.

This would work too and you would not need to deal with "bleed" from other stations:

Just another option to keep the stock look.

Awesome, maybe a write up?

this thing looks pretty legit... id love to hear how well it works once you get If, if you decided to get it.

If I end up pulling the trigger, I'll be sure to post the results!

What year truck? My buddy had a monsoon grand prix stereo in his 97 and it looked decent then you would get a cd player too

See first post:

...TRUCK:
1994 GMC, just the factory am/fm radio, no tape deck...

Understood. Thanks for pointing that out.

I may be interested. I'm not sure my stereo is like that though. I'll have to check.

O my bad skipped over that. Well since its the early dash my idea won't work.

reading about amps and resistors and blah blah blah just makes my head hurt. I'm not smart enough to figure it out without detailed step-by-step instructions, which I haven't found.

If that was in response to this,

than I am sorry it is not detailed enough, as I'm not the best at explaining things. However, for $45 shipped I can build one. It sure as hell can't compete price wise with the Chinese one, but I believe that if your radio control box has provisions for tape input, it will work with higher quality sound than any FM modulator.

I have a radio with tape input if you need it, Kier.
