Can anyone recommend a good fm transmitter for an ipod to play in a car?

I have the monster one with the dock charger and it works ok. Charges it too which is nice....

If you really want good quality I would just get a kit and wire it in.

With the FM kits the quality sucks (even more than usual with mp3s haha) and the signal strength sucks too.

I have tried some and come to the conclusion that there is nothing like a good FM transmitter for this purpose.

I got a kit called "AudioLink" for my Mazda MX-5 NC, but I think it's available for all kinds of cars. Basically it's a little box with two cables. iPod connector on one end and proprietary car connector on the other end. Passes audio directly into the car stereo and I can even control the iPod from the steering wheel buttons.
