Five FM iPod Transmitters Reviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the for-the-soundtrack-of-your-life dept.

An anonymous reader writes "If you want to listen to your iPod or other audio player in your car, but you don't have a cassette deck or a swanky I.C.E. system, then the answer is to transmit the music over FM to the car's radio. HEXUS.lifestyle reviews five FM transmitters for the iPod and friends, investigating how well these devices cope with broadcasting music over a 2 meter-or-so radius. Some readers will be aware that it's been less than a year since these became legal in the UK, so the majority of iPodding Brits have only recently discovered that they can tune into their MP3 collection on the road."

    Here's one from Belkin that I just picked up a few weeks ago. Charger/Transmitter in one. Also can run off of iPod power, though it's kind of power hungry, so you can't run it for hours on end. But that's alright because most of the time I use it the car, so it's plugged in to the charger any way.
