I have a 2004 S60 and a long commute.

There's an ipod option for the car, but the dealer charges something like $400 for it. Not an option.

I have an FM transmitter hookup for my ipod, but Portland, OR has so many FM stations that it's impossible to find a static-free band.

I have a tape-deck "tape with a cable" cassette to attach, but after a couple weeks of us, my tape deck now has a real rattle that is very loud. I never used it until a couple weeks ago, so perhaps it's cranky at being woken up.

Any other suggestions on playing my ipod over the car's stereo system?

 

I use the ipod adapter from Usaspec:

Ipd offers the adapter kit, but you could find it cheaper on ebay.
