I had my own tunes playing, my iPhone was plugged into my FM transmitter which was straining to override the channel I had chosen for playback. The sound produced from my setup was swamped by the Boxster's sound system like a rowboat in a tsunami."</em></p><p><img height="191" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1305225284.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" width="600" /></p><p>Problems with FM transmitters are a recurring theme, as the author was all to aware. So in his search for a better option he came across Tune Link. It's a two part system if you will, the cigarette lighter adapter available from Amazon.com for $89.99 [<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/applethoughts-20/detail/B004GJURHM" target="_blank">affiliate link</a>] coupled with the iOS app from iTunes (<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tunelink/id400308800?mt=8" target="_blank">which is free</a>). <a href="http://www.newpotatotech.com/TUNELINK_AUTO/tunelink_auto.html" target="_blank">New Potato Tech</a> has more info on their website but this review is thorough and I think you will get more out of it than you would at the company's site. That is if you are at all interested in such a device. </p>
