GSI Super Quality Mini FM Transmitter/Modulator + Car Charger Cigarette Lighter Port Kit - LCD Display, For Apple iPhone 3G/3GS/4G, iPod Nano, Touch, Video, Classic

I was very skeptical when I purchased this transmitter, not knowing what to expect for $8. I hooked it up to my iTouch 3G and it actually worked great while I was still in the garage.

I was looking for a universal FM transmitter as I don't use my iPod much anymore when came across this item. Since there seem to be lots of bad reviews, I figured I'd weigh in with my experience.

My wife bought it for me a couple of years ago because I had accidentally left my iTrip in my car when I sold it. I have never really had any issues with it. I live in a medium sized city and can testify to having to hunt for good FM stations. However, there are a few low powered stations in the area and this device easily overpowers them. It always amazed me when I'd turn off my iPod and I'd start hearing the low powered station again. My car antenna is in the back of the car, so I would think that it would have to have decent signal in order to come in that well from that distance.
