fm transmitter for iphone 3G

Does anyone have a recommendation for an fm modulator/transmitter for an iphone 3G?
Will it work with programs like Pandora or MLB At Bat, or just with the MP3 player?

I use this one and it is superb. I rarely get interference and have used it all over town as well as out of town. It is a bit pricy, but worth it. It works great with Pandora and assume would work with MLB(I don't have that App).
You put the transmitter is something called "international mode" and use FM 87.7 or 87.9. You will find nothing on this mode in the documentation that comes with the transmitter(I have never figured that one out because it is really the only way it works well. In its "normal state",it is no better than other transmitters which means junk), but if you read the reviews on the site I listed you will find how to do this. It is very simple.

Do you have the autopilot or autopilot 4?

I used this one for a while, worked great. Make sure you get the iPhone version. It has an auto seek to find a clear channel. All your sound runs through it, so Pandora works. It also charges the phone.

I bought one of these at the Apple Store, but brought it back a few days later.
Finding a clear channel here (Munich, Germany) was a pita, basically there are none so I ended up unscrewing the car antenna to get it to work.
Sound quality was nice then, but in the end I invested in a new car receiver instead (after some googling for reviews, I chose the Kenwood KDC-BT6544U, which cost only a little less than twice the amount of the FM transmitter).
Now I can access my playlists from the radio itself, and the phone charges, all with one single wire (the original USB to dock connector one that ships with the phone). Plus, it's got Bluetooth Hands-Free built-in.
Other products with similar features are made by Sony and by Alpine, most of these come for roughly 180 to 250 bucks.

Hi

I shopped around loads looking for a good all in one solution and if thats what you want you need a Griffin Itip Auto Pilot

http://www.griffintechnology.com/pro...itripautopilot

Best place to get one is http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0010X7H4S only £34.99

I had a std plug in Itrip on my Nano and this is so much better sounding, charges, has built in Fuse, FF/RW on Charger tip saves touching phone. Best feature is the auto tune to strongest frquancy.Stereo Broadcast and RDS mode to display tracks on compatible RDS Radio (not all car radios display all details. My Astra says just itrip my wifes Picasso scrolls)

All in all must but
