FM transmitter.

They vary a lot - some need to be almost within inches of your radio and have a very restricted number of frequencies, others will work several feet away and have a lot better choice of frequencies.

Do you need an iPod version or a non-iPod version?

That's true - I think I remember that now.

Sadly the iTrip is an iPod-compatible device.

Mic has a "cheapy one from the garage" which has been great (Pickers, Pheebs and Jinks listened to Radio Belmit for a good while after we left Chester)

My MP3 player is a Zen, Belmits is an Ipod so its obviously compatible with all different ones too
