All of the "wireless" units have to meet FCC guidelines for transmitting power (so the 80 year old lady next to you doesn't get any bleed over) and the wired option usually needs a switch to turn it on and off, plus several cables to make it work and it is not the most user friendly way to set it up. The radio in your car is using 7 year old technology at best, and the newer aftermarket units have a lot of good and easy to use iPod controls, and the sound quality is as close to CD as you could ask for. just my .02. __________________ 2001 Bullit #02445 built in the only color Henry would build- Black.

The best one will be a box with two rca leads (that connects the audio to the iPod) a power and ground lead (to turn it on and off) and two antenna leads, one in (from the stock antenna) and one out (to the radio). Most any stereo shop will either have them or can get them. __________________ 2001 Bullit #02445 built in the only color Henry would build- Black.

This means the Transmitter has a lots of power to boosts the signal. Now you will get good connection on some channels. But i have to say with my mustang the signal kinda stucks but at sometimes its really good. But with my 2007 Liberty it works Very well. i have a DLO. I know Monster is pretty good company too. __________________ -5-Speed -BBK CAI -UD Pulleys -BBK 70MM TB -Mac O/R H pipe -Trick Flow Plenum -Yokohama AVS ES100 Tires -UPR Blue Thunder Short Throw -Magnaflow Magnapack Catback

I have an XM radio with a Terk direct connect kit. what this kit does is cuts off my cars antenna when the XM unit is on and just takes my XM signal and pumps it into the radio via the weak onboard fm transmitter... what this does for my IPOD is to also cut the cars antenna off allowing the IPOD FM modulator to work cleaner and easier. I took my XM out for about a month and my IPOD signal was crappy. I had to switch 4 different channels on the way to work just to keep a decent signal... I never had to deal with it with the XM in. I now put my XM back in, mainly because I like the clarity it allows my IPOD to have. More than likely not the solution you are looking for but.... I actually remember seing an article on the interweb about taking a Belkin tune cast and cracking it open adn soldering a AM round antenna tot he stock little antenna chip inside... Guy that did that said he got great results with it as it allowed for better transmitting ability, but My thinking is he is still putting out the same feeble ammount of power.. But it is a thought. wire it in and hide it behind radio. Good luck regardles.
