avoid As with most of the these adapters, they are not meant to last but this one truely declined at a good rate of speed. If you buy these types of adpaters , you really cannot expect much to be honest. If you have an ipod there is "Griffin RoadTrip 4031 - FM Transmitter & Charger for iPods - Black" note - i do believe it is illegal in the UK but still sold on Amazon, basically you attach to ipod and it broadcasts an FMsignal that your can tune you car radio to.

But the build quality is very poor (I'm surprised at the review that says this is one of the BETTER quality versions!). The connectors rapidly deteriorated and the sound is now very poor.
The wires are so prone to internal cracking that after 6 months, my version requires a good 5 minutes of careful... more info
