Correct me if I'm wrong but reading the reviews in the link you posted it sounds to me like it sucks. It needs to have a stronger signal in an already overcrowded bandwidth. Better to have a 16 jack input provided in all cars to plug in your Ipod directly or just burn a CDRW. Still thanks for you ideas. Maybe a signal booster would be the answer.

Yeah, I like Apple too.

This one is cool : click me Connecting your VAIO with HIFI and Printer via Wireless would be great. The Price is OK, IMO. A wireless print server is not much cheaper.

You can buy transmitters off ebay for quite cheap (£10) which work well. The only problem is the one i brought uses up the batteries in it very very quickly.

I bought a small white thing from eBay for £10 and made sure it came it a cigar lighter adapter as i figured it would use juice quickly!

I use a Tunecast II and I think it is great.
The biggest advantage is it has completely variable FM bandwidth. You find as you drive around that you need to change frequency as local radio stations interfere. With this a simple change in frequency, and it is nice and clear again.

I agree with Tony. I cant believe every new car stereo doesnt come with plug for a MP3 player. Even just a simple headphone socket at the front would be a help.

Don't forget that these things are illegal in the UK.

My one plugs into my iPod and HD-5 and only cost £1.50 off Ebay. Had to pay a tenner in postage though.

Tony: You're right, It needs to have a stronger signal but You can change freq when You want to.

If I have my VAIO Pocket I just don't want to burn a CD-RW x10 .....and definitely I prefer a wireless connection.
