I have a 5th generation iPod video and was looking for a FM transmitter so I can play it in my car. I would rather do that then burn all my stuff to a cd and have to look for the one with the artest and album I want to listen to at that time. Even though I have a 6 disc mp3 player in my car it is to much of a pain in the ass to search through all that with just a line of text.

With that being said I went to Best Buy thinking they would be at most 50 bucks for a good one that would play the music and keep my iPod charged. Holy shit stain Batt-Man I was wrong. The cheapest I saw was 50 and the most was almost 100. So I said fuck that I will go to Target down the street. One that Best Buy had was 20 bucks cheaper there but still to much.

So I'm wondering what is a good one and where is the best place to get it for a good price. At Target I was looking at the Monster - iCarPlay Wireless Plus FM Transmitter for Apple iPod. They wanted 80 but that was way to much. I think I will end up going to eBay for this stuff so unless anyone knows of a place other then an auction or 2nd hand site that I can get one cheap, I'm only looking for info on a good one. I'm looking for one around 20 but at most 50 for a good one. When I say good one I'm talking about a top of the line if their can even be a top of the line. Hell all this thing is, is a cable and FM transmitter.

Target has one right now mixed in with there "holiday stocking items". It is $20 regular price, I got mine for $17 on sale. It works perfectly with my Nano 3rd. The one I am referencing to is mixed in with the "automobile department", not the electronics department. It is in a RED box. FYI - It does not charge, only tranmits.

thanks for the help but i'm looking for one that also charges. As for that Belkin I could be wrong but dont you need batteries for it? would have jumped on it if google check out would have gave me the 10 bucks off. Might just ebay the one from monster for 20 bucks + shipping.
