Hey, so my 16th bday is pretty close now, and I'll be trying to get my license as soon as I can after I turn 16. Since I don't really like listening to the radio, I figure one of the things I'll ask for is something to connect my iPod to my car stereo. I have a 4gb Nano. What would be the simplest, most cost effective way to do this? I was thinking of maybe an iTrip, but I'm not sure because of some of the reviews I've seen on Amazon. What's your opinion. I'm looking for something preferable $40-$50 tops. Thanks.

But then you have to buy a $150 deck if you don't already have one.

The fm transmitter Here (http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=138342) works great for me and it is one of the cheapest solutions out there.

Thanks everyone, I'll check all that out.
EDIT:
Ok, after checking out both pages, and reading some of the reviews here on iLounge, I'm leaning towards the FM transmitter littleville mentioned, made by Schosche.

It looks like it works well and for a good price. The only other one I'm considering is the Tunebase FM Transmitter. However it looks like the Schosche is a much better deal. Am I right, or should I reconsider and get the Tunebase?

i have an ITRIP for my ipod mini and it sucks. Everytime there is static and in everycar. This itrip goes on top of the ipod.
