I had purchased Dr. Bott and Radio Shack and other cigarette lighter adapters and FM transmitters for my prior iPods. But the cigarette lighter adaptors are obsolete for the new iPods. The Belkin products from Apple's store, for the current iPods, are better in functionality, design and appearance

The one issue I have with my current transmitter is that it runs on batteries; while I get about 10-12 hours of use from a set of batteries, I frequently take 18-hour-plus road trips.

The Belkin FM transmitter is useable by itself and uses batteries. It has 4 selectable low-end FM frequencies to choose from, and it was no problem for me on my radio which can only select stations by seeking. This Belkin transmitter has a soft rubbery feel that is very comfortable and comforting. I have not used it long enough yet to comment on the battery life, but I didn't consider that a major problem with the other models I have.
