you plug them into your ciggy lighter and tune the radio into what station the transmitter says, your quality isnt as good as a cd, but its fair good.

Depending on the quality of the fm transmitter you can get close to CD quality, also it depends on what station u tune it on as well.

Yeah like above, the more you pay the closer to good quality you get basically. I've heard some good ones but I've heard some sh*t ones too

One of the best FM Transmitters you can get are made by a company named Monster! As good as CD Quality!

Those FM transmitters are hopeless, When I go for a cruise in the old mans car I run the ipod through the FM transmitter. Basically it's only good for the country(less radio stations) because once you head toward Melbourne you start picking up radio stations from everywhere and I'm forever changing the radio on the head unit and the ipod transmitter to get a clear signal. It's more annoying than good, I'd go for a direct setup.
