Suggestion
But one trick you may want to try first, if your FM transmitter supports it, is to set your radio to a non-US locale, so you can tune to a lower FM range than is used in the US, and then set your FM transmitter to the same non-US frequency (87.something, typically).

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link
That worked for me reasonably well in the SF Bay Area, which doesn't have a lot of open FM frequencies.
i have the MOST on an 2003. read about how only Dension and DICE are available to integrate ipod/iphone on the MOST. but then found mentions of the other option of doing an inline modulator but with no details.
anybody do this and/or have recommendations?
i'm not looking to do a whole stereo upgrade since i can no longer appreciate a good audio. i.e., my hearing has went... lol but my hearing is good enough to know the fm modulators suk.
I use a Griffin Roadtrip FM modulator. It charges my iPhone, and the sound quality is reasonable. It's not as good as a direct wired system, but for the money it does the job. It also holds the iPhone up so you can see it easily, and it makes using the iPhone's GPS very nice. I bought it at Walmart for about $60.
thx dennis. i have the belkin version and don't like it much. guess i'll have to buy the dension or dice since it doesn't appear that anybody has done an inline modulator.

for the cheapest price I've found so far ($489) on the Dension IceLink.
I'm having the same problem justifying $500 for something that should cost $50. Tell me if you decide to buy; I need a push!
Ric :-)
Ric, yep that $500 just to listen to my iPod is a leap. Easier to justify if we put it towards a suspension, etc. I missed out on a new dension for $350!
Unfortunately, not any more, since when I replaced my head unit I did a thorough job of disposing of all the old documentation. But it should be in the manual for your stereo, it was in mine.
