My grandmother has a Hyunda, but trust me, it doesn't have bluetooth ability, nor does it have auxiliary input. All she's got is A M/FM/Sirius XM, Plus a 6 disc dashboard loading CD changer. I can't remember what year it is, but it's not exactly old old old, but it's not new by any stretch either. I think it's like a 2005, or a 2006, somewhere in that neighborhood.
Anyway, she does have a cigarette lighter charger port. So, I'm wonderring if anyone may know of a good FM transmitter that I could use for my IPhone 4S 16GB black, through AT&T which would let me transmit to an FM frequency which I then could tune her radio to, then listen to my IPhone in the car. We go out practically 2 or 3 times a week for lunch, then of corse, there's the times I have doctor appointments, etc. so I'd love! to be able to listen to my music, or Pandora, etc. over something a little better than the internal IPhone speaker. Don't get me wrong, the internal speaker is incredible! I mean it blows the IPod Touch 3GS and 4G both totally! out of the water, but it's still not the same as going through a full car stereo by any means.
I had a little birdy butt transmitter I bought a while back for my old IPod Nano 4th Gen, way back in the days, which costed about 50 bucks, or so, and basically what you had was this little dinky dank thing that plugged into the cigarette lighter charger... obviously, I don't literally mean the cigarette lighter... I'm not stupid... LOL! I mean the charger port thing that looks like a lighter port. You're probably lookin at me go yeah yeah yeah, I gotcha, I know I know, don't worry. LOL! Anyway, so one end plugged in there, then the other end basically was just a cord that plugged into the 8th inch or as some would call it 3.5MM stereo jack on the IPod/IPhone, or whatever had an earphone jack. I found that thing didn't work really well, as for one, the IPhone never was stationary, as nothing held it still. It just kind a sat there either on my lap, or whatever, sometimes in the little glasses compartment. I found that the slightest movement would make the thing fade out though and give a bit of static over the transmition. It was really really annoying.
My dad had one that I think he paid about $100 to maybe $130 bucks for, somewhere around there, and if my mom still has it, I may try it out, as that sucker worked incredibly! The sound was so crystal clear, it was unbelievable! The only issue with it is, I dont' think an IPod Touch nor an IPhone would fit in the thing. I think it only held the 4th and 5th gen Nanos. My dad actually got the thing back when the 4th gen Nanos were really hot on the market, so it's pretty old. What I like about it though is, you plugged it in, then it had this metal rod looking arm that protruded out of the thing that you could swivvle around so that it would either face more toward the driver, or the passenger, or it could just be straight dead centered. The other end of it oppisit from the plug, literally was a cradling docking station. So it had, from what I remember, 3 buttons. One to go up in frequency, and one to move it down, plus it had an auto-scan where you push that, and it would scan for the first available frequency with no sound/static. Then you had the cradle where you basically literally docked the IPod/whatever into. That pretty well obviously held it still, plus, like i said, the sound was just out of this world amazing! I don't think I remember even once that the thing staticked nor faded.
I need to look to see if my mom kept it. I doubt she did, as most of the stuff in his car I think got sold, after he passed away. If it would hold the IPhone, and we could find it, my issue will be solved, but does anyone know any good cigarette lighter based car FM transmitters I could use? I'm willing to spend say no less than $100 and maybe no more than $150. $150 would be on the high end for me though. I'll do it, but that would be pushing it. For that cost, it darn well better be good. LOL! Would prefer something which actually docks, not something that would use the earphone jack, although if you can promise me it would have good results, I'll try it. I have an open mind.

Did you actually read my e-mail? My grandmother doesn't have bluetooth ability.
The only way we can interface this is via cigarette lighter based plug. She doesn't have bluetooth, nor does she have an auxiliary input nor a USB input.
This is why it needs to be an FM, not bluetooth transmitter, and needs to interface through her cigarette lighter.

Yes i did and if you had gone to amazon and done the search you will
find one that tunes in to a radio frequency and then the music from the
iphone or any apple device will come through the speakers and the device is
on amazon because i got one for my son so just look for the radio
transmitters and i think it was around 20 dollers but don't quote me on that
price but it was close to that price hope this helps
