Hmm, I have a crappy old JVC number in my car at the mo, wonder if its time for an upgrade? If I could get hold of an Ipod thingy, that would probably save the hassle - aren't they still illegal if 'broadcasting'?

Got mine from http://www.bluespot.co.uk/
Dead easy to fit, just pop the stereo out, plug the cable in the back then feed the other end to where you want it. I chose to bring mine out of the left had speaker pod into the ali shelf where my iPod can sit.

Thats actually what i have also.....just don#t tell my customers!! Piece of piss to fit also, and you can run the wire out and into the footwell, allowing you to hide the MP3 player

Meant to say though, we must have the cheapest fm transmitter at the moment also! Goes in through the headphone socket

At £12.99, and in stock around the 24th, can go wrong....
