Belkin TuneFM for iPod


I'd like to start using my iPod in the car during the commute to and from work.
Looking to get the best possible sound.

The factory radio in my car is Levinson, so it has a decent tuner, but, there is no iPod interface.

I came across this device from Belkin called TuneFM.
Anyone using this in their car? How does it sound? Any serious interference issues on the highway that may become annoying?

Thanks for any thoughts and ideas.

Another option is to install an amp under the passenger seat or in the trunk. Get an A/B RCA splitter and keep it in the glove compartment or any convenient place. Run the stock head unit to the splitter. Run the Ipod with rca cables to the splitter. Then run rca outs to the amp. The amp will drive your speakers more efficiently and both the head unit and the ipod will sound better. I do this on my Accord and I'm very happy. I even upgraded the speakers to really bring out the sound. You can do this yourself or have an auto stereo professional install it. If you want to use your iPod a lot in the car it's a great investment. And thieves only see the stock head unit so it's not a theft magnet.
I won't belabor the point any longer. I just know that running the ipod with rca's to an auxillary-in in the head unit, directly to the amp through an auxillary-in, or with a splitter between head unit and amp, will sound much better than an fm transmitter or even a cassette adaptor.
