Works fine :) Really? I've always assumed (since the days of the Griffin iMate or whatever it was called) that the sound quality, using FM to transmit from player to car radio, was rubbish. I'm very happy to be proved wrong, if you say it's not too different from playing MP3 CDs in the player. -- Pd

Which is irritating, particularly when it cost �70 to add an aux in port to the car stereo head. Cheers - Jaimie -- Squawk! Pieces of Nine! Squawk! Pieces of Nine! SYSTEM HALTED - PARROTTY ERROR.

They're *very* dependent on the position of the aerial in the car you drive, and the radio spectrum being used where you drive. Don't buy one unless you can return it for a full refund! -- Chris |
