FM Transmitters for the Ipod and Cobalt.

Does anyone have any experience with the FM transmitters that allow an Ipod to play music on a cars stereo wirelessly? Any brands that you have found to be better than others?

So far I've heard the Kensington Transmitters work the best but I was wondering if anyone here has tried them out, and what they thought of them?

Don't buy the FM transmitters, they ALL suck, trust me, I tried all of them. I guess you could go with the inline transmitter already mentioned, but that seems like a lot of trouble. I figure, might as well switch out head units if you are going to take the dash apart (unless you have XM). I didn't want to do that because from experience, I know that removing the dash in a Chevy opens up a Pandora's box of dash rattles.

Monster was my favorite. Worked great. Only had 8 stations though.

it will take you 20min to install the inline & cost you 1/3 of buying a new deck & harness... Ive take my dash apart 6,000,000times and still dont have rattles... you really cant beat the quality of sound for the price...

Too bad I have about three different rattles already with having the car less than three months along with many other problems which I won't mention here. Oh well, not like it matters anymore anyway. My Mazdaspeed 3 should be in within a month and it will have a factory aux input.
