Are there any iPod FM transmitters that are somwhat decent?

My current car is having some issues so I may be driving my father's car for a few months. I tried using 2 different tape deck adapters which worked fine in every car ive ever tried, but his 2004 toyota 4-runner sounds like garbage w/ a tape adapter. It hisses and sounds terrible and has horrid sound quality for whatever reason. So my only choice left is FM transmitter. I know the iTrip is horrible, so I was hoping there was maybe one out there that was at least somewhat decent?

my buddy got one by Belkin from Wal Mart and never had a problem, plugs into his cig lighter and has a long extension and cradle type thing for it. Cost about $80 I think...

FM modulator FTW. it actually interrupts the signal going in through your antenna and plays the ipod through your radio. you get great quality and no interference. It just takes a little wiring know-how.

ya thats not really a possibility. I have no wiring skills and i dont wanna mess with my dads car. I might only have it for 2-3 months anyway.

does the FM Modulator charge the IPOD while driving though??? If yes, then its the clear cut winner as long as you have the know how, for plug and play I'd say a cig lighter deal sounds like a winner?
