Poor radio reception an advantage with Ipod!
Discussion
Just got an Ipod and one of those FM transmitter thingy's. Using it in the Pug which has a decent aerial sometimes its difficult to select a frequency where the radio isn't trying to pick up another station.
I thought the radio in the Chim's lack of ability to pick up even Radio 2 might be an advantage.
Just been out and done about 90 miles and it works fine, absolutely clear as a bell, as far as I can tell even in built up areas. I did have to cut the volume off for a tunnel, a couple of town centres, and a few downhill bits, but only so I could get full enjoyment from the built in sound system. Haven't been out in it since Monday last week due to the salt on the roads etc; God its good!
So there you have it, forget CD multichangers and trying to listen to the Radio. Get an MP3 player and an FM transmitter, problem solved.
Long live my cr*p radio aerial, its a bonus now!

Hi Chris,
I got the Belkin one that is an FM transmitter with a cigar lighter attachment to cgarge the Ipod and power the transmitter.
It works without plugging into the cigar lighter but obviously as the FM transmitter is using the Ipod battery running time is reduced, but I've had it going for several hours like this.
Got mine from Currys digital cost £39.95. I tried PC World and Comet and they sold a different model Belkin & also another make cost £60, I couldn't see the advantage of those over the one I got.
How do you mean "it sounded awful"?
