Can anyone lend me an FM transmitter?

[babysimon]

We're going to go to see both Trish's and my family this year, so we're hiring a car. This will mean a lot of driving, and I want to do a lot of listening to music.

Would anyone be able to lend me one of those FM transmitters from the 24th to the 28th? Or recommend a way to buy one that would mean I would actually get one before Christmas?

I thought those things were illegal here?

Although how they figure out which car hurlting 70mph along a motorway has it I don't know :P

I've got the one I picked up in LA for such purposes which is...somewhere. Will have a hunt for it in the next week (it can't have gone far) and hand over as and when.

The alternative might be to buy one of those cassette adaptor thingummies - anything between £5 and £20 depending on quality and vendor.

Come to think of it, this is probably not a brilliant bet - most modern cars will have a CD player, not a cassette ... and you've probably thought of this. Ah well.

Maybe time to blow a lot of CDs? *grin*

Try IPodWorld which includes models by Griffin which seem to be very popular. However I have read that reception can be tricky in areas with lots of FM radio stations like London, and because the transmitter is inside a metal cage (i.e. the car), with the aerial on the outside.

No problem. I can't remember whether mine's at home or whether lolliepopp still has it, but you're welcome to borrow it for that period.
