the griffin itrip is what I have, all in one cable, so really simple to use. Great power too. Works for all iPods old or new. In big cities where radio stations are crowded, it still works very well.

Hey, that sounds like something I have been looking for so long. So I just plug that FM transmitter thing into my ipod and then I can switch on that channel on my radio or am I getting it wrong?

Don't they have ones where you can clamp onto the antenna input on the back of the head unit? Maybe inquire at a local auto sound shop. It wouldn't be a difficult or expensive install, and it would ensure the best reception possible from an FM transmitter.

Other than that, you could just get another head unit installed with an aux port. Depending on your car of course, you can probably get a comparable replacement with aux in for pretty cheap.

Unless you live in a really small town, there is no such thing. FM transmitters are pure junk and a waste of money. Stay away from them and find another method.
