What is the best car radio adapter for an iPod?

Question

I have an 8GB iPod touch. In about a week I'll be on a trip that will have me driving for upwards of 6 hours each way. I've heard mixed reviews about the iTrip, and I'm wondering if there is an effective (both literally and cost-wise) car radio adapter out there for an iPod?

Answer 1

the iTrip uses FM Transmissions.. and in my opinion.. the sound quality reeks.. and on top of that.. if you happen to pass by a station broadcasting on that channel.. you'll be listening to that station and your ipod.. what fun..

i was in the same situation as you.. driving 4 hours each way and vacationing for a week in a new place.. so i opted for a new car stereo with an ipod integration.. and  i never looked back..

Alpine X100 in my old car and a Pioneer P4000DVD in my currently driving car.  

Answer 2

I have a Monster iCarPlay Wireless Plus, and I love it. The only setback (as mentioned previously) is the availability of a clear radio signal. If you're not in the middle of the city, you should be fine. Looks like you can get them as cheap as $30, which is cheaper than having to buy and install a stereo system, and it's portable so you can use it in any car.

Hope that helps!
