Those that are good either violate FCC regulations or found a way to work around it some (iTrip Auto's power cord helps it's signal a lot). If you've tried an FM transmitter and it sucked, crack it open and pull out the antenna wire. I think it's a good idea, it might not work to well currently but it's still a good idea. most FM transmitters suck due to complying with FCC regulations.

It's just a text datastream that's slipped over the FM signal. A lot of cars already support it, but most people don't even know it's there, or know how to turn it on. RDS is also somewhat slow, maybe 20 char/sec on a good day. iPod sending song titles over RDS would be killer, but I wonder if it's fast enough to handle UI tasks like menus.

The reason being that in most European countries FM senders are banned by law as being pirate radio. Examples of such countries are the UK, the Scandinavian countries and I think maybe France.

So I swore off FM modulators...but then in October I was in a friend's car and he had one of those ugly-ass TransPod's. And. It. Sounded. AWESOME. Short story long, I went out and picked one up, and it works like a charm. Rarely hear interference. If you're looking for an immediate solution, you might go ebay it. They've recently released a new model, so you might be able to get the old one for a nice discount. Happy tuning, y'all.

My car's factory radio is capable of RDS, but very few stations use it, and even fewer use it to it's full extent. What this has the possibility of doing is allowing ID3 tag information to be presented in a factory radio system playing from an ipod with little to no need to replace/purchase new equipment. Since my factory radio is also tied into my steering wheel controls as well as OnStar this is the best solution I could have to get ID3 tag information displayed from my iPod onto my radio. I was looking into doing this manually, and I'm glad that someone else actually thought of making it as I did not have the time to put something toghter on that calibur.
