It should work just fine for you, the sound quality may not be "CD" quality because of the modulator, but it will work.

There is also something called direct fm modulation where it connects directly to your wiring. Not sure if that will be better quality though. Like said above. FM Modulation is a lot of times worse quality than how the radio stations come in. Ive never had good luck with FM Modulation. Quality is just not up to par. Keep searching, there has to be something for you. ttt for you

i kinda figured the quality would be down
my moms sirius radio uses it and it works okay
but the direct fm modulation intrigues me a little

I have a Kenwood direct fm modulated cd changer with MP3 in my Caprice Conv. and the quality is just fine.

what are some other brands/models of direct fm changers or are all of the fm modulated ones direct wire? (i.e. not broadcasting the signal)
