PURE Highway. Costs about £55 if you look around online. It takes power from any aux socket/lighter socket and transmits on a spare FM frequency to the car antenna, so no physical wiring to the stereo required. Has time-shift function, so if you miss a bit you can skip back. You can also pause broadcasts, which has its uses.
Fitted one in Mrs Do$h's Defender and she's a very happy bunny. Carbon footprint? I neither know nor give a damn

Nodo$h, does it have a 3.5mm output to connect to the AUX socket? I found it difficult to get a clear, free FM channel when trying to use an iTrip with the iPod. Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE

Alfa Romeo Alfasud 1.5Ti QV - a labour of love

Yes, I think DAB coverage up north is generally better than down here - I get a great signal in the house, but on the drive there is no signal! I drove up to Crewe a couple of weeks ago, and got solid reception from about Worcestershire north, but below that and it was annoyingly patchy. I've got the Pure Highway too - the 1st one broke after a day but the replacement has been fine. I use the aux connection with it rather than through FM, and it can be used off the vehicle with headphones if you want  D3 TDV6 S 2005 - TorqTune, Privacy Glass, Remote FBH, 19" HSE Alloys, Boot liner, retrofit F&R PDC, RAI

Virgin Radio was bought out by our Indian friends ...but they couldn't use the Virgin name as widely as they wanted
