I bought one for a few quid off ebay, they are quite good for the money -if you get a chep one. A neat good solution for car radios without tape to
interface with an mp3 player.
I prefer a old fashioned tape adapter > audio quality is much better..

The more you pay the better they seem to be. Look at the reviews on Amazon.
I know my brother has had issues with his as the only available frequency that he could fins without any interference was something like 87.1. Now
there is a pirate radio staqtion using this frequency!

And don't use them close to an airport; you go crazy!

I've had one of these for a few years now - I used it in the tin top when I had an ipod and found it very good.
If you fancy trying one out, my one is up for sale (£10 posted) as I've got an MP3 head unit now.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

I got one for about a tenner off ebay for SWMBO. Seems to work OK, though occasionally you get interference when there is a "real" radio
station with a close frequency. Does the job, but not as good as a direct link.
In my tintop I have a cassette adaptor, which is OKish, but I would prefer a direct aux in cable like I had in an old Citroen Xantia.. in fact,
looking in Halfords, etc., it seems like they are bringing aux in sockets back, after a few years when they weren't available. I've also
seen a few which have USB input

They are not bad, but they are not without their problems. Using it within my local area was fine as I found an empty space in the radio spectrum to
tune into. However when going on long journeys (couple of hundred miles) then I found I was having to retune 3 or 4 times which is a bit difficult
when you driving along the motorw......er in a layby :-)
In the end I now use a tape head unit, which despite the trailing wire, is as good a quality with less hassle.
