I don't suppose by any chance this transmits the current song title on RDS does it?
My mate has one that does this for his ipod and it is rather cool.

Yes it does. There is another thread about this
here.

As I already have mentioned, I have only good experiences of my MMR-70. The only pity is that it cannot be used together with the car charger, since the cable of the charger comes out of the contact at the back and not at the side. How did they think att

rather silly of them I agree
try get an old car charger, you can probably cut the end off and modify it so that it fits on a car charger and acts as an extender to plug the mmr-70 into?

IMHO, the fastport connector is not very good. The only thing that holds it in place in the phone's socket are the two plastic springs, that tend to weaken after a time of usage, and it is not unusual that you have to yank the contact back and forth or remove the plug and insert it again in order to have the phone to recongise that the plug is connected. I have already left my phone with the charger connected over night a couple of times only to find that the battery is still drained in the morning, due to poor contact in the connection. Therefore, using the contact from an old charger may cause problems, since I think that it is the contact itself that will die first.
However, at least on the CST-75 standard charger that came with the K800, there is a tiny philips screw on the connector housing, and if you remove that, it is possible to open the connector's housing. I suppose that the car charger is designed the same way. If so, I believe that it should be possible to carve a new hole in the housing for the cable with an aproriate tool and reroute the cable so that it exits sideways instead of backwards. For the moment, however, I don't think that the battery drainage due to the radio transmitter is bigger than if I use the earplugs, and the battery lasts far longer than the time I spend in the car, so currently, this is not a problem other than that I cannot charge the battery and use the phone at the same time. Also, I hope that the
designers put the exit of the cable where it is for a reason other than pure stupidity, and thus, it may be the case that the transmitter would function poorly with the charger connected.

maybe you are right about that.
The fastport charger pass through works fine with a standard headset, it's only the mmr60/70 that doesn't fit.

There are other
original accessories than the MMR 60/70 that do not fit either, like, for example the speakers MPS-60 or MPS-70. For some reason, the contact seems to be deliberately designed in a way that it cannot be plugged in into the passthrough connector of the charger.

Just got an MMR-70 and it seems to work really well - although the RDS text seems to freeze every so often, but I think that's the phone going into power save as I haven't got a charger plugged in.
The idea I have is to use a spare dock and butcher this to fit it into my car dash so I can have the charger and MMR-70 plugged in permanently.
The other option is a bluetooth headset, but thats more money
