What what does it do? Well, plug it into the Smartphone and it turns into a mini FM transmitter. Then you just twiddle with your car stereo and bop along to the MP3 tunes stored on your Smartphones' SD card. Cool eh ? No need to burn a CD, just pop all the MP3's onto an SD card (which is really quick if you have a card reader like this) and you're away!

It's $49.95 from the States - that's roughly £27. It may be worth your while considering buying from the US - it's amazing how strong the Pound is against the US Dollar at the minute, so take advantage if it's going to work out cheaper after International shipping. That said, I found these on Ebay.co.uk.

My dad has something that is used to make your phone handsfree on the car. You set the fm to a certain band and you plug something on the speaker of the phone and it transmits the voice to the fm radio so you can hear it and talk through a microphone nearby.
I think this uses the same type of feature. Looks good.

One thing to consider fellow Britishers, its illegal to operate in this country as it is technically a pirate radio station. Bummer.

I use one of these...

http://www.merconnet.com/products.php?ProductID=345

(Also tramsmits mp3 tracks from any usb memory device)

and a 3.5mm to 3.5mm lead from Maplins, and a 3.5 to 2.5 short lead adapter.

Phone calls come through car speakers loud and proud.

Now all I've got to do is sort the microphone part out.
