As the title says, I need a FM transmitter for my car. I have a ipod nano G1, but as long as the device have the normal headphone jack it will work.

Help me out H/A?

    I'll let someone else point out a "luxury" transmitter, but this one should apparently do you just fine:

    I picked up a Dynex (Best Buy's brand) transmitter for 40 bucks about a week ago and haven't had any issues with it yet. i used to have a Belkin (Forgot the particular model number) that worked for a time, but the car adapter and the actual FM tuner were seperate parts, which seemed to have some trouble keeping friendly and I guess something got knocked loose. Basically, long story short, if you don't manage to keep the Belkin fairly stationary (Which, with lots of people going into and out of my car, doesn't happen), it's not all that great.

    This is a sig.

    It links to my website. The site is still under construction. And will be forever. And apparently it's dead for right now. I guess I'll have to talk to my admin one of these days...Also. Myspace.

    I have a Griffin RoadTrip. It works about as well as an FM transmitter works (which is not great compared to a line-in, but whatever). The nice thing is that it does FM transmission on arbitrary frequencies, it acts as a little stand for your iPod, and it charges the iPod at the same time. The only reason this wouldn't work well is if you can't mount it directly into your cigarette lighter port.

    I have a Griffin as well, an iTrip that I just received for Christmas. I think it's a "higher end" one but have have really liked it so far. I had a Belkin for my old Nano and found the quality to be lacking.

    Here's the iTrip I have: http://www.addonsworld.co.uk/shopimages/products/extras/ipod-itrip-auto_1.jpg
