Radio Shack, Best Buy, Wal Mart. Should be able to get one for less than 30 bux.

In the past, they were really nice because they operated at the ends of the spectrum.

Nowadays, that's where the Ranchero music stations are (at least in my area) and they pump the signal up so much that even going from the interior to the antenna, the FM transmitter gets stepped on.

I have found that if you remove your cars antenna, it helps the reception from the FM modulator.

First thought. Aren't you driving a Denali? Doesn't it have an aux input on the radio. Those cables are 10 and less.

If you happen to have a cd/tape deck tuner like my truck then another option is a cassette adapter. I got one for around 5 bucks shipped off amazon.

another thing. Also, like PanthaSan says, FM transmission can be fickle. I had sirius for a while, and was constantly looking for clear stations to listen with. Hard wire is the way to go if you can do it. I just realized this could be for the boat.

I actually have a hard wire for the boat, but not one for the Denali.

It's for my truck. I think that GM took a while to figure out the whole aux input.

Also no tape deck.

they must have. My silverado is 04. My friend's 07 has aux. I've been thinking of upgrading my tuner from a wrecked truck.

      Reason I feel good about the Saints game: They found the perfect plan against us.  It shouldn't have, but it seemed to catch us off guard.  So... If they use that same plan, (1) we won't be caught off guard, plus (2) our receiver situation is much better than last time against them.  Tet was still slowed by injury and Coker was certainly not in a rhythm yet.  Those two things should at least keep us from looking as silly as we did last time.   If they change plans, they're going away from the perfect plan against us.  Minus the perfect plan, I think it comes down to simply who's the better team and the season says that would be us.   Also, I doubt Horn will have such a horrible day again and I doubt the refs will miss the obvious offensive PI against him again.  And, after that beat-down, I think our guys come out fired up. Hopefully that will all equal a much better showing this time.
