Bought my car today!!

I have the bose system and I just bought a $10 fm transmitter from amazon. The sound quality is as good as the radio. I'm not a huge audiophile so all I really cared about was being able to listen to music on my phone. Plus it just plugs into the cigarette lighter. No need to fuss with anything.

Contrarian view, I have tried the FM transmitter route with a name brand and the sound was awful, so proceed with caution if you decide to go this route. I have a direct connection lead into the auxiliary plug and that works well imo. Mine is a '02, so perhaps that is a difference, but I am doubtful on that....

Agreed, from what I've read the transmitters can be pretty hit or miss. I figured it was worth the $10 risk though. It turned out to be no better or worse than the radio in my case but I might have gotten lucky. I would have went the aux route but it is a bit more complex with the CDR23 from what I can recall when I looked into it.
