Hey I was just wondering if anyone knows about a good FM transmitter that i can plug into my phone to listen to music through my car speakers. Preferably one that charges it also... Thanks

Well I don't know of one exactly.. but I know I've never seen one with the HTC mini usb headphnon thingy, so first step will probably be to get a mini usb to 3.5mm jack converter, available on this site even for like 6 bux..

next I would rethink FM tuner and look into seeing if your car stereo has RCA in cables int he back. FM tuners are never great unless there has been some miracle.. There is too much stuff around for interference. I would highly recommend looking into purchasing a stereo jack to RCA plug converter. Not only is the quality infinitely better than an FM tuner, but it is a fraction of the cost.

Some head units in cars also support bluetooth streaming ;-)

Wireless FM mods are known to have horrible performance because if it did have good performance in your car it could interrupt the operation of the car right next to you. Obviously this is subjective to the device, vehicle, and area you are in.
If still you want to go FM modulated, then go for a wired FM modulator. That way it is directly connected to the radio's antenna line in and bypasses the vehicle's antenna while in use.
Otherwise if you have an AUX input on your radio, that would the the best way to transmit audio from your G1. I have yet to see if anyone has tested this out on USB capable radios. I dont see why not as the G1 is visible as a mass storage device when connected to PCs. I guess I'll test it out when I get my G1 (hopfully sooner than later).

If I HAD to go with FM I guess I would just spend as much money as I could to be safe :D

Monster Radioplay, I use it with my W700i, works great, kinda pricey however, but you pay for quality.

I got one of those deck that has the the USB input right on the face and it did not work at all for my G1. it just would not play through it. so i dont know if all decks are like that or why but didnt work for me.

True... but have you checked out this?

I heard lots of good reviews on it and it's quite powerful. If you open it up, you can also adjust how powerful the signal is and make it go up to 100 ft away.
