Are there good ipod car chargers?

<p>What brand sells the best ipod car-chargers that will also play on your car stereo? Has anyone seen any affordable ones that are around the range of 20 dollars? I bought two from Belkini, both are the type that jut out from your charger and don't have flexible wires...one was white, had a blue-screen, and cost almost a hundred. It was good but it broke, so I bought a different model (80 dollar one), with a black case and cable. It looks like this....<a href="http://www.mobileviews.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/belkintunebase.jpg%5B/url%5D%5BB%5D"&gt;http://www.mobileviews.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/belkintunebase.jpg**&lt;/a>
**The problem is this one has a lot of static, and is inherently staticy/defective, especially when I play softer songs and turn the volume up. </p>

<p>Are there any recomendations for a new charger?</p>

<p>Honestly, all of the ones I have had were crappy.</p>

<p>I don't think you can get one to eliminate all the static.</p>

<p>We purchased this Kensington model from Amazon a couple of months ago and we're pretty happy with it: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Digital-Transmitter-Charger-iPod/dp/B0007XXHNW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/102-0998952-6152111?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187630637&sr=8-3%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Digital-Transmitter-Charger-iPod/dp/B0007XXHNW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/102-0998952-6152111?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187630637&sr=8-3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>We live in the NY metro area where there are a lot of radio stations and we don't have any problems finding a channel with no radio station on it for the iPod. Since you are broadcasting from your iPod over an FM transmitter, the sound quality will be the same as music from a radio station.</p>

<p>I've had the Griffin iTrip Auto for about 7 months now and it works really well. It's a little more expensive than what you're looking for, but I'll recommend it anyway</p>

<p>I use this, it works really well:</p>

<p>Hmmm...these all seem to be different models, no real pattern...I suppose the reason is that most people only buy one charger and don't have experience with more than one.</p>

<p>Your best bet is to search on Amazon and find the one with the highest rating.</p>
