I had one of those years ago to hook my CD player up to my car, and it worked just fine. I tried it on my iPod when I got it a few months ago, and it seemed to work fine. If you are going long distances, you might run into interference, especially if there is an actual radio station with that frequency. But the one I have has 4 different tuner settings so if one band is taken up, you have three others to choose from :) Just choose the band with the least amount of noise on it.

If you want to go expensive, you can have a connector hooked up to your car stereo. Only thing is it won't work in other people's cars unless they also have iPod hookups installed.
