Oh, that's odd. I must have been lucky with it. In my tootles up and down the M6 (and up into Scotland) it's always been reliable, except for those occasions when something drives by and you briefly get Mexican Mariachi music blaring out for a couple of seconds.

It goes back to being able to try it on your own journeys! Funnily enough, this has been a recurring topic on here, I bought my first FM transmitter from a guy (Mike?) on this very newsgroup about 5-6 years ago :) T.

My new car stereo (a Sony of some sort) comes with iPod goodness baked it via a USB connection. On a completely unrelated note, why do you have to pay -more- for a car stereo that doesn't look like a disco that's being lit by a firework party in the middle of a thunderstorm? I don't want a display that's jumping around trying to distract me - I've got enough on my plate with the numpties on the motorway...
