FM Transmitter not working.

[albo23]

So I bought this cheapo FM transmitter off eBay and I haven't got a clue on how to use it:

I turn the transmitter to an open frequency, I tune my radio to that frequency, I play a song on my iPhone 3G... and my radio is quiet. I only hear the music out of my iPhone's speakers, not the cars.

What did I do wrong?

Have you tried asking the seller if theres something else you have to do?

I just sent him a message now but I fear that he wont even understand my problem.

Did ya... plug it into the bottom of the iphone?!

Do you have a case that prevents it form "seating" properly in the dock-port of the iPhone?

Which iPhone are you using?

it obviously isnt plugged in correctly -- thats why the audio is coming out of the phones internal speaker...

I understand what you guys are saying but I know it is properly connected because the transmitter lights up, however it still plays out of the phone.

EDIT: I am using an iPhone 3G.

Make sure it's plugged in and on the right frequency (on radio and on the transmitter).

You realize you replied to a thread from 2010? I think the person either found a solution or got his/her money back by now.
