Why does your FM transmitter cut out when you turn your MP3 player up?

[Edit]

Over-Modulation

It is over-modulating. That means it is too loud for the transmitter to transmit. Just turn it down a bit until it sounds clear, even on louder spots of the music. Some transmitter have a modulation guage which tell you how close you are to over-modulating. If you come along this, you want to keep the volume just below over-modulation ( on loud parts ). That way, it is load enough to hear it clearly, but not overly too load for the transmitter to transmit properly. Extreme over-modulation over a period of time can damage parts in a transmitter, but that is repairable and only if it has been over-modulation for a semi-long period of time.
