Default Cheapest way to listen to my iphone in the car

Hey guys, so i need to find the cheapest way to listen to my iphone in my car. I've been using 5 dollar FM Tuner but it's not stable and I hate listening to static noise. So I need a recommendation for the cheap routes to listen to my iphone music through the speakers in peace. Thanks

That's about it and you see what you get with FM modulators. Assuming you're stock, adding line in is the next cheapest option though you'll pay the equivalent of a good chunk of a new head unit that has the features you want IMO.

Just get the proper ipod/aux in adapter for your year from USA Spec. That's what I had in my 04. You'll be able to charge your iphone and play it through the stereo, its nice.

Found the link.

Now the question is, is this better than the Grom Audio product for our cars?

I have this, it's not cheap-cheap but its an fm transmitter which works amazingly (I live in NY and I have no problems getting a strong signal with it). And anytime a call comes in, you hear it through your speakers too.

Get a used low end head unit. Best Buy outlet is selling used Pioneer DEH-1300MP (includes AUX) from their outlet on ebay with starting @ $8 with free shipping. Your AP1 doesn't even need the center console removed for self installation.

Something along the lines of this:

Kill two birds with one stone and just get an upgraded head unit that controls ipods. The cheapest would be a USA-Spec iPod control module.
