it kinda sucks, all of these comapny's that make ipod adapters for factory cars of course dont make one for the cobalt. i went through this same problem, and yes itrips do suck. So i weighed out all the possible options, and for teh best option was to you a WIRED FM TRANSMITTER. it is a box with aux in put that gets plugged in in between ur antenna and factory stereo. This was the option that gave the best sound quality personly, and zero static. You can pick them up at circuit city or best buy for like bucks, simple install too.

i personally would just go to a best buy and get a FM modulator. that hooks up to the back of the hu by the antenna lines. and then gets pluged into the ipod. thats really the only way if u want the better sound and not a shitty FM transmitter.

man, ive had such bad experiences with fm transmitters... if its for money sake, then just listen to ur ipod at home and not waste ur money on one of these... save ur money for a new deck. use cd's

I have th monster fm transmitter. It has a lot of stations to choose from so thats good but where i am the stations are packed. I made my own "shorty antenna" now it's a whole lot better.
