iphone FM transmitter

Hi,

Has anyone any recommendations for an in car FM transmitter? I had a cheap one off ebay ages ago but its not compatible with the iphone.

I know sound quality is poor but its my only option really as its for my works van so i cant tamper with the stereo

Do the cheap Belkins etc work as they are just universal 3.5mm inputs?

Cheers

I've just got a Belkin Tunebase FM & seems to work Ok - charges the phone as well & sound quality is OK (for an FM transmitter)

Gavvet,

Is this the one you bought? As I'm after one for my 3g iphone as my old Belkin itrip won't charge my 3g
