FM Transmitters
I've owned a few of these to use with my iPod and they all sucked so I went back to using cassette adapters but now I have a new (to me) truck that only has a CD player so I'm willing to give one a try again. So, any recommendations as to which brand/model I should go with?

Re: FM Transmitters
None are going to produce great audio. If the CD player has an auxiliary input you could plug your iPod into that.

Re: FM Transmitters
...and if it doesn't have an AUX input, you might be able to install one. What Year/Make/Model?

I put one of these in my 2004 P-Find and it works perfect. If you don't want to replace your head unit with an AUX capable aftermarket unit this is THE best quality you're going to get.

Re: FM Transmitters
No AUX input.
Thanks, pottymouth, that looks cool. I'll have to see if there's a dealer that ships to Canada.

Re: FM Transmitters
FM transmitters are great if that's the only option.
Otherwise an AUX input is the way to go.

Re: FM Transmitters
I have used several that I didn't like but the Kensington one I have now works great.

Mine is older but the first two are similar.
