So does such a beast exist? I've heard from friends that the Griffin FM transmitters are pretty shoty in terms of quality. Are there any products out there w/ the same function that you can recommend? - I'd like to keep it below 50 or 60 bucks, btw

the iTrip Mini works pretty well. And it isn't that expensive -- even BB has them for around $35 or $40.

Wireless FM transmitters all suck, IMHO. It should be your last resort option.

My Griffin Itrip works well. It came free when I bought my Ipod mini. If you don't need something slick to mount or match up with your mini then check out this one by C.Crane. Never tried it but they say its a beast.

Belkin makes one too. I don't own one, but I've listened to one of my friend's while on a road trip.

at $30 or $40 that'd be worth trying out I guess.. What sort of other options are out there?

The best option is a direct connection. 1/8" mini plug out of the Mini to the input on your stereo.

I think this is the one that my friend owns. Not 100% sure it's the exact same model, because her's was black, but it was definitely a Belkin brand one.
