Misconceptions Regarding Fm Modulation Ipod Kits
We have been hitting stumbling blocks recently with misconceived ideas about FM Modulation when connecting an Apple iPod into your vehicle. Understandably, people get confused between Modulation and Transmission. We are here to set the record straight as these thoughts couldn't be further from the truth.
Here are a few questions that we get asked and our answers:
Will I receive interference?
Absolutely not, no. There are a number of features that make sure this isn't possible with Modulation;
It doesn't transmit through airwaves as it is fully hard wired so radio stations signals cannot be received by your iPods signal.
As its fully hard-wired, the iPods signal is being sent down a wire, just like you would expect from an Auxiliary wire or a CD Changer wire.
The Modulator kits have a electrical "on/off" switch which physically block out your cars aerial when the iPod is connected to the kit, meaning that your aerial isn't even connected.
Does it charge the iPod?
It does indeed. All the iPods will receive a full charge from the iPod car kit.
How hard is it to install?
Installation takes about 30 minutes at the maximum. The kit just needs to plug in to the rear of the stereo, it's that simple.
How good will the audio quality be?
This will be similar to what you would expect from DAB, very close to CD Quality. On 99.9% of installations, you won't be able to tell the difference between the iPod and you're CDs, especially when you take into account the road noise coming from the car.
Why can't I have a fully integrated kit like the Dension Gateway devices or the Dice Electronics Car Kits?
There are a few things that might stop you being able to use a fully integrated kit:
Your stereo doesn't have a CD Changer port, therefore not being able to connect into the cars stereo
Your stereo simply isn't good enough; this could be due to the lack of processing speed, the lack of software support or even because it is too advanced!
You just might not want to spend the amount of money that a fully integrated car kit costs
Are there any advantages of having a Modulator over an integrated kit?
There are a few, yes. Firstly the price, the Universal Modulator kits from Dension and Dice come in at approx £30 cheaper than a fully integrated iPod Car Kit. Secondly, the kits come as standard with the iPod connection, unlike the integrated kits where you have to add the cable or cradle into the kit. Thirdly, the installation can be easier; it could save you an hour of labour!
We hope this might clear a few things up for you guys

Check to see if the Gateway 100 or the dice silverline are compatible with your vehicle, if not the Dice RDS FM and the Dension FM are the best options
