Good FM Transmitters for Ipods?

To answer the OP's question, there are no good FM interfaces for good quality music IMHO. Get an adapter that plugs into the CD changer interface similar to the one posted above, just make sure it's the right one. The good ones give you decent control of the IPOD from the stereo.

On my Honda Fit, the stock head unit comes with a CD changer port even though none of the models come with a changer from the manufacturer. I got a 3rd party mp3 player which plugs into the HU cd changer port and it works great. I was able to get it plugged in without pulling the headunit. You might be able to do the same thing on your Honda but I can't say for sure since the Fit is the first Honda I've owned. Check the compatibility with your car model on the adapter manufacturer's website.

+1, if the civic has a CD changer port with no changer or even occasionally the wiring may have a hidden aux or similar port in the harness, Rob is spot on. A few bolts and you can check it out if your inclined.

If your not up to the install yourself, for the price of an AUX cable/install would be similar to an off-the-shelf transmitter and far superior sound quality. FM transmitters further degrade MP3 sound quality IMO.

Sounds very good. I'll give this one a try.

Thanks for the comments
