Yep, I have one of those too. Way better sound quality than the ones that send a radio signal, I guess because there is no interference.

I've got my FM transmitter at a really great setting, but I think that might change when I move to a larger city this summer and am bombarded by a wider variety of signals. The CD player in my car was ****ed by the owner before me. I'd kill to have an ipod aux input in my car.

I never had a real problem with the FM iPod transmitter in Toronto. I think it was set to 88.1 or some empty frequency really low on the dial. The only gripe I had was that the sound was tinny and sometimes had static.

My car is a 2000 and came with a CD/cassette deck in the stereo, I guess because tapes were still relatively popular but CDs were becoming the norm.

I always found I had trouble around powerlines with FM MP3 Transmitters, the tape deck adapter doesn't have this problem, but then you've got to find the sweet spot between volume on your mp3 player and stereo. I'd honestly rather just get a CD player that plays MP3 CDs, throw 6 or 7 albums on there and organize it by genre or something.

Yeah, that's the only problem. Mainly because I sometimes forget to turn the volume down when I get out of the car, so when I start it again I get a nice surprise when the radio comes blasting on. And my car has digital volume too so it's not like I could get into a habit of turning the volume dial down before I turn the ignition. It will still be set to the last volume number you had it on!
