    HI which is best?

    I have bluetooth was told that would be better reception and clearer sound, but it doesnt always connect.

    I had wireless fm one ages ago and that was a bit fuzzy sometimes, but it always connected at least

    but it was also a really cheap one so maybe a b etter quality one would work better?

    Im fed up wiht never knowing whether my bluetooth transmission will work

    bluetooth and wireless fm transmitters are the easiest and most cost effective ways to go. but they do have their downfalls, which you are experiencing. i cannot recommend either of them. the best way to connect your iPod or mp3 player is sit a direct aux in or a direct iPod input. you can find a description of these items here

    I prefer for the wireless if the connection of the wi-fi is good enough,because when it comes to bluetooth it tends to be disconnect because it is not stable and it depends the range of the receiver.

    I don't know but personally, I would prefer wireless. Since wireless connection has longer range compared to bluetooth. And just the other poster say, bluetooth is not stable.

    Actually, the FCC allows consumer bluetooth devices to transmit 30 feet. A FM transmitter is limited to about 10 feet. Plus bluetooth has a larger bandwidth. A quality bluetooth device is alot better than a FM transmitter.

    Based on personal experience, I prefer wireless than bluetooth. Since its easier to connect using wireless rather than bluetooth...
    Well, that's from personal opinion.

    i prefer wireless. like what the other posters have said, bluetooth is limited due to the range. you get too far and you lose the connection.

    when it comes to sending files, i prefer bluetooth because it has a more stable connection. other than that, it's wireless for me.

    they're talking about connecting the music player with the car... i've tried bluetooth but yeah, i have the same problem. the sound's clear but sometimes you just lose connection. so best way is to directly connect to your car.

    I really am not a big fan of wireless or bluetooth. Bluetooth is always causing me huge problems, so like the others, I have abandoned it in favor of a direct connection

    Your blue tooth transmission will work of course. There are just really places when signals are being interfered easily.

    Hello. Can't say for certain actually. I'd suggest you mention first the brand of the blue tooth or FM transmitter. Blue tooth does connect some/most of the times unlike wireless but wireless isn't that good either. Good luck.

    Really? I'm using blue tooth and it never failed to have signal all this time. Hmm... Am I just lucky?

    My preference is undoubtedly wireless due to the obvious problems in bluetooth.
