I think clarity will not only be a function of the transmitter, but of interference in the frequencies the transmitter supports. In Tampa the 4 stations of the iTrip have a lot of interference, and no matter which one you use, it sounds like crap.

Auxiliary input is the way to go, if you can.

You are better off using a tape deck than an FM transmitter. I don't know anyone that is satisfied with one of those.

+1 on the transmitter's suck. I have the Griffin and it can't make it from the dashboard or cubby to the antenna without fading and interference.

I agree; just say "no" to FM modulators. Use soundgate's AUXNIS if you have a non-bose with no SAT radio, or use PAC's AAI-NIS if you have a '04+ Bose. That way you get a line input and great quality.

Transmitters do sound decent on an aftermarket stereo .... aldo, doesn't the itrip have more than just 4 frequencies to choose from? I though it had the whole spectrum.
