i-pod car adaptor?

anyone know which high street shops would carry these, and about how much they'd cost? thinking of getting one for dh's birthday next week.

Does he have a CD or cassette player in his car? I have a cassette adapter and it cost next to nothing. Under a tenner, for sure. I bought it online, possibly from here (it's been a few years, so I'm not actually sure if that was the place). I think my bf has the CD adapter, but I'm not sure how much that set him back.

My hubs got the cassette one from currys.

Halford's probably sells them, too.

If you are interested in the iTrip - depending on where you live, I wouldn't bother.  The iTrip works by "hijacking" an unused radio frequency and transmitting your iPod playlists over that frequency.  They were only recently introduced in the UK, as they were seen as Pirate Radio.  I think you can get them now, but if you live in London, for example, finding an empty radio frequency is near impossible.  

Good luck.

Dh got me the iPod cassette adaptor from Argos for £10 recently.

i'd need the cd version.

If you go to iworld.co.uk you'll find FM transmitters that don't cost a fortune, (as well as lots of other cool stuff)!

Agreed. We have one of these and we NEVER use it because we simply cannot find an empty radio frequency. And if you travel any distance you'll probably need to find a different one as you move along. WAY more trouble than they're worth.

This is starting to sound familiar now. I think that might be what my bf has, and he did say it's a pain.

Using the iTrip does depend on where you're driving, but i have one and LOVE it!   It plays perfectly, all the time, and i never have trouble finding an empty frequency.  I've only used it in Scotland, though.
It cost £27 on their website, incidentally.

Dh just bought a wireless fm thingy at sainsbury's for about £8 and he hasn't had any problems with it. It's not the perfect sound you get on the Ipod but it works for him.

I second that.  My iTrip was usless in London.

My bf uses it to drive up to me from Cornwall, a six-hour trip. I think he has to keep fiddling with it to find an empty frequency along the way. But if you're staying in one area, it should be fine.

Really? I meant to get one from a friend in the US and I forgot and was considering getting one here. Now I think I will just hold off until I get the hand me down one later.

I bought a 2nd generation shuffle adaptor though. I bought an ipod speaker/radio unit on sale at Sainbury's last night and it works great for a tiny space.
