I have been looking into connecting my MP3 player to my car stereo and a FM transmitter seems to be the cheapest and easiest way of doing it. Not sure how well it works as I don't know anyone that has one but the transmitter only cost £8.99 on eBay so I have ordered one and will let you know if it's any good (providing it turns up!!).

I ran with an FM transmitter on the iPod for a while. It was okay but
not great. The main problems I had we 1. Finding a usable frequency. I ended up with 4 stations tuned into different frequencies that I changed to going up and down the country. Not very user friendly. 2. Battery life. With the transmitter in place I couldn't charge the iPod. The blasted thing kept running out. 3. The transmitter I used had an auto cut off (to save battery power). When it thought the iPod wasn't sending anything out it switched off. This was fine except certain tracks with quiet ... not silent .. parts in them triggered the auto off. In the end I struggled along with it for 3/4 months or so and bought the Denison setup as soon as I found it. That was around 18 months ago or so. You may think that £100 is expensive, compared with most ICE upgrades its not and it is well worth it. -- Mick 156 Selespeed Veloce, ex 146 1.8TS, ex Alfasud 1.5 Ti |
