When I think "FM transmitter", I'm reminded of the old days when CD changers didn't always have a direct connection to the stereo. I don't remember any of them having the signal interference problems that this thing has.
This transmitter has a free app for your smartphone that will use your current location to attempt to find the strongest signal for your to tune your transmitter, and can even do it for you. (You still have to change stations on your radio.) I'm not sure where they get their information, but I found it easier to just scan the dial for dead air and tune the transmitter accordingly. (Mostly because it kept telling me I was in a different city than I was actually in.)
As far as the quality I experienced while listening to music, I guess it would be about the same as trying to listen to the radio--static, random interference from other sources, etc. I've had seemingly dead-air stations that it just wouldn't play on, I've had stations randomly start playing music over top of mine, and a few other weird things, but most of the time it works as well as you'd expect something without a direct connection to work.
It's a decent choice if you don't have a way to connect directly to your factory system, but it left me wishing for more.
