Default FM Transmitter for iPod?

Anyone try this? How well does it work?

Only 30 bucks...easier than wiring it.

Default just say "No". Do you have a CD Changer?

Wire the ouput from the iPod direct into the h/U
FM transmitters chop the hi and low freq.

Default Yes I do..

I've seen this also..that was another alternative I was thinking. Just curious about the FM trasmitter, since it seem less work.

Do you have links to where one can purchase all this stuff? Radio Shack?

Jeff's solution is better but that iTrip does look cool.

Default Jeff's is the best but when dealing with multi cars ....

I used an iLink for the first year or so. Worked ok but currently have an iTrip. That way I can move from car to car and even use it in the RV. Nice compact unit but the sound doesn't match a direct connect as is jeff's input. At 54 and many years of great R &amp; R and Jazz I'm lucky to hear anything! Hell I still think the Bose system is great. Friend of mind just bought a Honda Element..... butt ugly car but has a direct input for the stock radio. When will other car maker do the same?

I've read on the iPod forums that it's looks are the best item.
