[QUOTE=Tom G.]If you are using the iPod in multiple cars and don't live around cities with lots of tall buildings, this will work as an economical solution, but the sound quality is far from comparable. [QUOTE]
I tried a couple of the cheaper FM modulators and found them to be terrible for a couple reasons. One was sound quality and the other was not being able to maintain the frequency very well.
I was skeptical of buying another FM modulator, but a salesman at Best Buy said that a number of their guys were using the Transpod unit.

Since they have a 10 day return program, I decided to give it a try and I have been very pleased with it. It is not inexpensive but is built very well. It has a digital tuner with 4 digital presets or it can be manually tuned to any station. Sometimes in big cities, I will have issues as a strong local station will try to overpower the unit. It is very easy to manually change frequencies, so I move up or down the frequency range until I get a clear station. The sound quality is not up to CD level, but it sounds at least as good as a good strong FM station, which is sufficient for me. I like that it is easily transportable between cars. It also charges the IPOD during use.
