I'm looking forward to your next post. However, my "problem" is solved. With my Sport head unit, and being new to MP3 players, I discovered that any MP3 with a 1/8"/3.5 mm patch cord plugged into the auxilliary jack will work, not just Ipods. So I don't need an FM transmitter- the patch cord works fine with no static as you would expect. For base model owners without the AUX jack, you can buy an FM Modulator from Crutchfield that installs between the head unit and the plug from the stock antenna. It gives you a female connection that uses the same 1/8"/3.5 mm "earphone" output from Ipods or other MP3's to connect to the head unit, and sends your music through a selectable FM frequency without static. It works just like the FM modulators supplied with add-on CD changers.
