I recommend this.

Everybody should be warned that FM-transmitter solutions have a 
substantially lower sound quality that the aux input hardware solution. 
  I am lucky enough that my car comes with such an input - but it would 
be much easier for me to use the FM transmitter, so I got one from the 
local Apple store:  the "Transpod All-In-One Car Solution."

Switching back and forth between them made me cringe in horror at how 
bad the FM solution is by comparison.  Since there's not much tricky 
about FM transmission, I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that this is 
inherent to FM transmission/reception.

I know this won't matter to everybody, but just so ya know, that's my 
experience...  mind you, I also encode my mp3s at 256 Kbps - higher 
than is necessary, I'm sure, but I certainly know that 128 Kbps isn't 
good enough for my ears.  Here's hoping for AAC on the iPod...
