I do already have an FM transmitter. I like it and it does work, but the sound quality isn't great as FM's frequency range and noise characteristics are not anywhere near that of a line level input. Plus on long trips I have to change stations frequently to avoid collisions with existing radio stations. Also, being able to use the radio to control the iPod and having the artist/track displayed on the radio would allow me to concentrate more on driving.

Do you mean one that transmits an HD radio signal? Otherwise, it isn't digital. I haven't heard of this and can't find one like this for the iPod. Can you send a link to one of these? And I don't know if other Yaris's have it, but I don't think mine has HD radio.
