FM Modulator, which one to get?

Any one here already have one installed? I'm looking at the Scosche and there was one other one that said it was a 7 channel phase locked loop or something. What works best in our application? This is going to be connected to my audio 20 directly into the antenna. Also if someone could tell me exactly what adapters I would need so that I can order them in advance. Thank you!

You are going to hate the sound. Seriously. I tried them all. Soldering an aux cable into the L and R channels of the tape is the way to go.

If you insist on trying, I think this is what you need.
