I'm currently using a simple FM transmitter like that one. Quality isn't too bad most of the time, but it can fall into utter distortion near other cars using FM transmitters and other 'hotspots'. Advantage is that it charges your iPhone (not by a substantial amount though) as you drive. Plus it's bloody cheap - you'll get it for under $5 on eBay.

If you have lots of money you can buy a head unit with bluetooth connectivity.

shinny do you find that  many other cars use FM transmitters?

Not really, and it only causes distortion if they're using the same channel as you. The channel can very easily be adjusted so just pick one and change it if you find distortion comes too often. I drive every day and would only get interference for 10 seconds or so once a fortnight at most.

if it has an auxilllary input. i.e. a 'headphone jack' , you could just get an AUX cable.
