I just got my Zune Car Pack in the mail today and I think it might be broken. I mean, it works a little bit but on every station there is static. Can anyone help???

As I found with my iPod/iTrip, this works best if you're not moving at all. I use it at work, where I can set my iPod down, but in a car you're constantly receiving fluctuating signal strengths and interference from other sources (ever stop at a stoplight and have your favorite radio station turn to static?). Not only do you need to locate a section of bandwidth that goes unused in your area, as any real radio tower will easily overpower your tiny little transmitter, but you will be best off hard-wiring your iPod to your car stereo in whatever manner works best. If you've got a tape deck, then a CD/tape adapter is the simplest option. If you've got a line-in, I'd suggest picking up a Zip-Linq retractable 1/8" line-in cables (non-retractable line-in cables tend to come in 6' or greater lengths, which is excessively long for the front seat of a car). If you've got neither, it should still be theoretically possible to get an RCA-to-headphone cable hooked up to the back of the stereo.

You maybe living in an area with many strong FM stations transmitting. You need to find a frequency with no FM station before you turn on the Zune. Then setup the Zune transmitter to use that frequency. However, if your car has a tape deck, the sound quality will be much better with a tape deck adaptor.

Theres nothing wrong with it, other than they are a piece of crap now due to new FCC rules and regulations.
