Not trying to sound like a ***** here mate, but good luck. I've bought a few different FM trans for my iPod and they all suck. I've decided that my 3rd round of mods will be to strip my 500 of all the factory audio and go aftermarket. In doing so I'll pick up iPod/iPhone integration, MP3, NAV and USB interface along with +100% better sound all in one shot.

aux cable mod if you dont want to drop for an aftermarket system.

the benefit of an aftermarket, you get to listen to your iphone and charge it at the same time. and it stays concealed in the glove compartment.
