Do you really notice though? Its not like MP3's are top quality either.

I used an FM Transmitter (not wired) on my previous car and one point that I had missed completely is that I lost the benefits of RDS when listening to my ipod. This meant that I couldn't get traffic reports and I the signal got "swamped" more easily by interfernce, especially at night. Eventually I swaped over to a cassette tape adapter, which get better results and I got my traffic reports back. However, it was still not a 100% perfect solution, with sound quality still poorer than CDs.
I'd guess that a wired version would be less prone to interference, but would probably still suffer from the lack of RDS & Traffic Announcements problem.
