FM transmitter for iPhone

[peteisanidiot]

this is exactly what ive been looking for!! how much was it? is it easy enough to do a DIY installation?

depends how savvy you are. you'll need to pull your head unit and run some cables behind the dash or steering column.

Wonder if this will work with an aftermarket stereo that is XM ready and has the aux inputs for that??

probably. in theory the device should function with any input option. a catch may be that the factory head unit ffd/rwd/next/previous controls actually function as ipod controls when the head unit is fooled into thinking it is a cd changer, but i'm not sure if xm will afford the same options.

EDIT: If I have time, I'll visit one of the local Car Toys to inquire about this product.

from experience they will overcharge you if you purchase the unit from them. get the unit on ebay or through the manufacturer and have car toys install it. ...so far every time i have had installs done by them i've had to spend several hours fixing their work.

Oh ok, good thing you said that, never got a chance to visit them anyway. So I found some at eBay and they're selling it at $139, then you just have bring it at Car Toys and pay some extra fee them to install it?

Anything for the iPhone 4?? Or should I just download a radio app.

I am looking for something as well. Needs to have the hands free phone option. I have that carFM thing and its terrible. I am looking at the Griffin road trip but the reviews are mixed. Thanks.

GOgroove FlexSMART X2....definitely one of the better fm transmitters I've tried. Hooks up to your iphone via Bluetooth and transmits to your car's stereo via fm frequency, so no need to actually connect the phone to any cables. It does include separate cables for charging if you need the juice however. Also has a microphone for hands free calling. Note, I believe you'll need to be on iOS 4.2 or above to use the fast forward and rewind functions on the GOgroove device.
