In order to hook up my ipod to my car, I have to get a receiver with audio imputs, or get an ipod adpater ( so I can control the music menu from the dashboard) and a receiver with audio imputs.

Right now, I have a nice receiver( just no audio imputs)and i got some kick ass 6 3/4 pioneer speakers in the back, so the sound is cool. However, I just don't have time to put in a new receiver and run cables to the trunk of my car for the adapter.So I'm thinking about getting a transmitter instead, but I heard that they suck... And the only way you will be able to pick up a station is if you live in the country or some rural area where there are not a lot of radio stations. I live in BK, NY, so I might not get shyt...Is it worth it?

and that motherfucker sucked. it works the first 2 or 3 times but get worse and worse and is just a pain in the ass.

if you have a cassette deck then get the cassette adapter, i heard it works suprisingly well, but the audio quality prolly ain't that good

I had the iGriffin. It is bull shit. Do not waist your time and money with it. Get a dedicated ipod dock or a audio in.

the best for the money is the DLO TransPod. it fits all generations, has 5 or 6 presets and can be set to any individual frequency by the user. it usually runs $89 (mine came with a $30 mail-in rebate) and serves as a charger dock at the same time. So, for G3 or later iPods and Nanos, TransPod will not only broadcast on an FM frequency but charge your device at the same time.
Added bonus, if you get unhappy with the sound quality (or upgrade your head unit in the future) there is an audio out on so you can plug into an input and not sacrifice the usefulness of the dock.

Well worth the money, I recommend it.

enough of my sales pitch, see for youself.

I just bought a new apline stereo for the car because it does two things:

http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/product.php?model=CDE-9852
(the price says $200 but I got mine from best buy 2 months ago for $179)

Plays mp3 cd's and controls my ipod...cd quality (as to whatever format you have on the I-pod...so Wav sounds better than mp3, etc)

The Stereo is $179, the adapter cable that runs to the I-pod is $30.

If you want a remote that's another $30 bucks...but it's fucking worth it. The adapter cable charges the I-pod too.

You can control the i-pod through the stereo (id tags show up and everything).

Transmitters are bullshit and will become obsolete in the next two years...don't waste your money. New cars will start to come standard with i-pod connectivity. And most of the new car stereos are going to be adaptable too.

If you don't wanna blow the dough, see if your current stereo has an auxilary in. If so, just buy a car charger for the i-pod and an auxilary wire to run into the back. though you won't have remote control and will have to manually change selections, the sound quality will be high (cd quality).
