I'm using the fm modulator to listen to my xm in the car. What's the best fm frequency to use?

This site works for any FM modulator, not just Belkin.
 
 In College Park, 90.5 works well for me. Plus I get to interfere a Christian rock repeater station   :D

sweet! i had never seen that and it's nice to know what to expect when i'm traveling.
 
 i'm convinced my xm radio is going to be the death of me... leaning over to change the frequency during travel.

Isn't there a reality show on right now "America's Next Great Inventor?"  If I was on that show I'd invent a projected screen or something that shows up on your windshield while you're driving that shows you not only what you're listening to but also what songs are playing on EVERY other channel at the same time!  And how much time is left on them!  Isn't that a great idea?  I think so.  Because there's nothing more frustrating than spending five minutes of your life listening to "Hotel California" in its entirety then switching channels to hear the tail end of a great song that you COULD have been listening to.

i stopped using the modulator because it was just too much of a pain in the ass changing fm frequencies every 5 blocks (same for my ipod fm modulator). . .i just use my cassette adapter.

Spend $100 on a new stereo with an auxiliary input. It'll always sound perfect and you won't have worry about the annoying modulator that only sounds like FM even under perfect conditions.

my car has displays some information like that.
 
 Speed, Radio Station, CD Track  Number and even some gauges (low fuel is one i know) are displayed on a part of the windshield right in front of the driver.
 
 its pretty handy and i must admit i get frustrated when i drive someone elses car who doesnt have it now!
