Does anyone use a MP3 with a FM transmitter with an older bike? I'm looking for one for my 1996 Ultra.....any suggestions?

If you can't find what your looking for You could consider a GPS unit that has mp3 through an inbuilt FM transmitter.
BONUS-- you would have the GPS as well.

 

Wal mart RCA for $29

 

With a bike that old I would swap the radio and install a system that allowed for it to play MP3 Created Discs as well as allowing you to plug in a thumb drive that you have saved all your MP3 's too.

Any FM transmiter set up is terrible. I have tried several and all have left me very disapointed. I would consider any other alternative beyond that.

 

i have a garmin 760 that has FM modulator, plays whatever you can put on an SD card, i have a 4gig and it holds a lot. plus while listening to music if the garmin has directions to give, the music will pause, garmin gives info over your speakers and then music resumes, really a great set up IMO.

 

I also have a 96 Ultra. Go to one of the Satellitte radio supply websites. They have an FM modulator with a RCA line plug that goes between your antenne and radio. If your MP3 has broadcast capabilites you can match frequencies to the radio and your good to go. I have one for my Sirius and it works great as long as you pick a dead frequency on your FM radio.

 

My Garmin 760 works very good ...

 

If you have an Ipod or an Iphone you can get a FM transmitter that plugs in the bottom or an adapter that plugs into the cig. lighter and ipod and transmits a FM signal.

i Have also seen units that plug into the earphone jacks and transmit a FM signal.

 

Check out iRiver's stuff. They are great and the used ones on ebay are cheap. They run forever on a AA and they are small.
