it doesn't hook into the radio at all. it hooks into the headphone/output on your mp3 player (or audio device) and transmits the signal to an unused FM frequency. you tune your car radio into that frequency and voila - there you go.

I own this one and it works great. no problems what so ever. and its smaller than most and blends well with the ipod. and it has a great range too.

The sound from an FM transmitter (iTrip, etc.) suck. This guy just installed an iPod in his 3 using a FM modulator.

You can buy a modulator at Radio Shack or Circuit City.

There's a bunch of ways to do this, but they all yeild iffy results. FM Transmitters are inconsistent and FM Modulators aren't all their cracked up to be either.

A couple of companies are claiming to be working on a device for Mazda radios to set up an auxiliary line-in. Check out http://www.stevedarnley.com/mazda_mp3.html to find out who and send them an e-mail asking them to hurry up!

FM modulators are your easiest bet for now, but they won't yield the best results in terms of sound quality, not by a long shot.
