Well it would help if you posted a little more about your car, but if you are driving an S2 (2009-10) then you do have an aux port ... slide back the center console, then open to the side and you will find an aux port. I am not sure if the S1 has this though.

This is an option provide you don't have the factory satelite radio installed. The satelite radio utilizes the same interface as the iPod adapter. I've looked into this myself but can't do it because I have satelite radio installed from the factory.

Same here, Old Rotor. Even if you get a clear frequency to transmit on, the transmitter still compresses the heck out of the signal. While an easy option, the FM transmitters are just junk in my opinion.
