Belkin has released their new Tunebase for iPod, an iPod FM transmitter for your vehicle. Previoulsly, Belkin had released TuneBase FM for iPod Mini, iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano, but neglected the original plain ole' iPod.
The latest TuneBase FM plays your iPod tunes through your car stereo while simultaneously powering and charges your iPod. The holder secures your iPod and features a flexible-steel neck for repositioning. This package includes tray adapters to fit various iPod models - including the iPod, iPod video, 4G, photo, nano, and mini.
TuneBase FM has improved FM transmission and operates on multiple FM channels from 88.1MHz-107.9MHz. Four programmable memory slots let you easily find the clearest frequency, and toggle among them for best performance. Retails for $79.99.

This is by far the best automobile FM transmitter I have ever owned. Powerful and always in the right position. Bought mine on www.mightybids.com Good deal!
I've tried two other transmitters -- the original iTrip and Griffin RoadTrip. Though flawed, they both performed eons better than this waste of money. The gimmicky holder seems nice, but you can't move it around enough to improve static, and other people you're traveling with can't check out your songs as easily. Adjusting the songs / frequencies is more dangerous than the other transmitters i've used (you sort of have to hunch over, depending on the position of your cigarette lighter). The reception it gets is TERRIBLE (compared to other transmitters in my area) And it's SO SLOW to try to change stations unless you're using pre-programmed ones. Unfortunately, there's not a SINGLE station in my area (Wash D.C.) that's even remotely usable (yes, I tried all their troubleshooting tips). The other devices I've used could find at least 4. The Griffin RoadTrip's great but mine started doing sketchy things to my ipod -- so I bought this, which doesn't work. Overall, using an fm transmitter in an urban / suburban area is annoying, but I really really do not like this one and wish I hadn't bought it.
IMPORTANT: The best frequencies in my area, and perhaps yours, are under 88.1. I don't know what Belkin was smoking when it insisted on not including these frequencies. This is a major set back for me. Of course they say what frequencies they cover right on the box, but, having used belkin products to my deep satisfaction before, I trusted the brand. Oooops!
Overall I'd recommend getting one of the cheaper ones -- none of the products are great, the the smaller ones have the convenience of size and price.
