Default How Is A FM Transmitter Used?

I bought a second-hand Toyota Camry, my first car, from my mother's elder brother a month ago for USD 4880 (what about the price?), and get interested in everything car-related. Yesterday I found a FM transmitter as it is called (http://www.tinydeal.com/fm-transmitt...u--p-4862.html) which is said to "broadcast music from your audio devices to your car stereo". I know FM is something about radio, and my car has been equipped with one. Then it seems that such a thing is not needed as for me. Or if the stuff has anything else good, please tell me. By the way, does it suit my car?

This transmitter is used to send music, etc. from you portable music device such as a MP3 player.

The FM transmitter plugs into the headphone plug outlet or USB port of the audio device. It then generates a radio frequency signal that can be picked up by the FM receiver in the cars stereo.

You don't need the transmitter for normal FM stereo operation. Also these type of transmitters do not seem to work very well from a sound quality standpoint.
