Default Ipod FM Transmitter

Can anyone recommend a good Fm transmitter/charger for Ipod that doesnt pick up too much static. I prefer not to drop $150 on the deal that plugs into the cd changer plug.

cheapest/best solution is to by a connection to your headunit, alltho if you are running a stock headunit it wont work. You need an aftermarket headunit and a connection to get great sound. Well worth it if you ipod is full of music.

Screw fm modulators and expensive adapters. I spent $3 at radioshack for a switchable phone jack.
