Yea get the one from monster. I have had like 3 fm transmitters all sucked until bought the monster one.

there are also cords you can buy and hook them up to your radio if u dont have the stocker

if you have a AUX you can plug it into that

You can go to www.crutchfield.com they have a lot of good info about that stuff. Once you find what you need search for it cheaper elsewhere.

The video I pod is only $50.00 more, holds WAY more music, and plays video. I'd compare the two before you decide. I think you'll agree it's a better deal. The adaptor is way overpriced at Circuit City and Best Buy. There's a place near my house called Newbury Comics that sells it for under $20.00. I don't know if they have a website but I'm sure you can find one on-line for a good price. Check it out.

iPods have a crossover built into the headphone jack so you won't get quality sound if you hook up via that port. Also, the FM transmitters broadcast on a radio frequency, so your ipod music is going to only be radio quality. Since you're only running the stock system this probably won't bother you. For optimum sound quality, you need to have an adapter that plugs directly into the bottom of the ipod (no crossover) and is hard wired into the head unit (via RCA's usually). Again, on a stock system you probably won't be able to tell the difference.

I hear about people hookin' them up all the time, but I have never heard the sound quality............ :beer:

I had an fm transmitter for my nano and it didnt work too good. I just returned it. As far as the unit itself, I like mine. No problems, just get the rubber condom for it to protect. :beer:

[x the big hit x]

obviously like people have said hard wiring it into the head unit is best.but as far as quality goes if you want the wire radio transmitter go with the monster (previously stated) but if you have a tape player get that it sounds the best imo
