Wandell,

As most have said, the FM transmitters aren't great but they are easily portable. I used a DLO one in my truck (2002) but I wasn't using a factory stereo. It wasn't bad, I just can't stand any static. Drives me crazy so when the station would get fuzzy, I couldn't handle it. My wife has a volvo with no other options, so we had to get an FM transmitter. We started with a Belkin which was to be honest, crap. Way too much interference. The one we're using right now is pretty good for a transmitter. Its a Kensington LiquidFM transmitter. We have had good luck with it. But it is hit or miss. If you read reviews, you will find an equal amount of people that hate it. This is true amongst just about all FM Transmitters. Now, the one complaint a lot of people have about trying to turn up the volume on their ipod and it doesn't do anything to the volume on their stereo is silly. Its not supposed to. It has the connection through the ipod dock connection so that it will also charge the ipod. This is also a cleaner input to use. A really nice feature is that you just press the button on the side of the transmitter and it searches for the best station in the area you are located. Then you just tune your dial to match it. Keeps you from having to hunt for it manually while driving.

Not sure if this helped at all, but just thought I'd contribute what I could.
