The cheaper ones really suck for the most part. You'll get hisses, etc., and you'll go crazy. Also, beware that when you're charging your phone while connected to an FM transmitter, there's a decent chance you'll pick up & transmit noise too. I haven't found a transmitter that didn't do this. :-/

Of course the phone is off during this so I know the sound isn't coming from phone streaming something...

the noise or signal interference is comming from the cheaply engineered charger. I have a few usb chargers that cause havoc with my stations, so I try to swap my good one between cars.. also can be fixed by running the radio or 12v port off a ground loop isolator
as for the charge and sound via 1 cord, look for a mogul or tp1 ext-usb adaptor.
