Except that there is no single frequency that will allow you to enjoy your
iPod music as you drive around the country. The more built-up the area,
the more likely you will find yourself listening to some annoying pirate
station instead. Even 87.5, supposedly below the official UK FM band, is
occupied in places like Slough, Birmingham, and large parts of London.

A direct connection to the head unit is much more satisfactory.

Plus it charges your ipod at the same time, which is naturally a bonus,
especially if you have an earlier generation model of ipod.

Big minus is that with FM transmitter you have mediocre FM quality...+ noise
from neighbouring stations.
