Well, who else would spend $500 on me, but me?

Besides, having done the drive one way east without a decent car stereo in a rental minivan, that sucked, but who knew in Nebraska and Iowa there were great classical stations? My own cassette deck ate a tape over a year ago (besides, I've not had a real tape deck in the house for years) and never replaced it or got it upgraded to a CD player.

So, along with the iPod, I got a wireless adaptor that plugs into the iPod and will play whatever is on the iPod through the car stereo on the FM dial. I'm going to test that out when I run a few errands today.

Im my opinion, this is far more work, than it sounded. Let me know if you run into issues.

Nirvanaman has one. We went on a road trip with him, it worked great. As long as it's a good quality trasmitter (Garmin makes a good one from what I hear), it works fine and is relatively easy to use. I used to do it for my CD player with an analog FM trasmitter. That analog part made it a bit of a pain, but even so, it was totally worth it. Now that they've got digital ones, it's even easier.

Its the set up that about killed me.

Was your wireless, or wired (i.e., did you have to physically attach something between your antenna and your stereo?) The wired ones definitely will produce better results, but do require a bit of work to install (I'm trying to decide if I'm feeling competent enough to go the wired route).
