This evening I bought a FM Transmittor from Asda of all places, having seen an ad online - for the sum of five pounds.
This nifty little device, which is powered from the car's cigar lighter, is absolutely superb!!
It plays music from my Samsung i8910, through the car's audio system, and the sound quality, well, you have to hear it to believe it!
Well chuffed, and a brilliant alternative, given the standard ccr2006 units or whatever they are, don't play CDRs correctly :y :y

best fiver i ever spent was on a brass up the old kent road ;D ;D
-
Mmmmm may invest in one as mine is toss. Lots of interference and low sound quality.
-
:y I recently got the same kind of unit off FleaBay for a fiver too.
-
I bought an iGriffin one (I think it was) - can't even get the stereo to tune in to the thing.. and that was before I broke the aerial; now I can't get the stereo to tune into anything.. ;D
-
I got one of those, I managed to break it. Preferring things with cogs to things with wires, I have no idea what was up with it.

Thanks James,
Got 2 for £8 today :y
-
What actually is it? Anyone got a link to say an Ebay one or Amazon?

break me bigballs she must have given you a discount or felt sorry for you maybe its true what Daz said :o :o
-
she gave a discount as aparently her next client a mr lovecock was going to be ripped off and charged extra :y

Would be suprised if there is no interference, as all fm transmitters are hamstrung by broadcasting laws governing max signal strength. But then, for a fiver.... :y
Having said that I am pleased with my Harman Kardon, but then it has a hard wired input to the aerial on the back of the HU so minimising signal loss, direct control for older iPods and 3.5 mill jack input so newer stuff works too for audio. iPod input seems to pick up some disc noise from the 3rd gen iPod, this noise is minor and is not present using iPhone 4 via the 3.5 mill jack.
iPhone 4 with tomtom and it's built in iPod via Bose. :y works well as the phone mutes the music to play tomtom commands, and because it's broadcast as a radio station all the other inputs mute the music nicely to voice over the top.
And btw, voice activated dialling (iphone 4) works brilliantly with Nokia ck7(?)w Bluetooth car kit. Press and hold menu button, while music and tomtom are running, speak the name as recorded in the phone book, and the call is made via Bose. Tomtom runs on screen during the call. Smart!
Really pleased.
(There where some challenges integrating bt car kit with 2015 phone btw, but VXL V6 and TB built and installed a custom loom to make it work, for which I am eternally gratefull :y )
HK transmitter £20 off eBay, direct control and charging of older 3rd 4th and I think 5th gen iPods, with 3.5 mill jack input for everything else. :)
