does the fm transmitter bit work well, since most of the items I have which transmit to fm are hit and miss? You can also play ipod through it can you not?
It's pretty good. If you're travelling a long way then every now and again you'll find that there's interference from some local radio stations that broadcasts too close to the empty fm frequency it picked to transmit on when you set it up in your local area. But it's one button to press on the DAB to retune the broadcast, and then one button to press on your car radio to retune the preset to the new frequency.
The only places I've ever lost DAB coverage completely are:
Right in the middle of the Peak District going over Snakes Pass to Manchester
The Scottish Highlands
A couple of bits of the Lake District
Everywhere else, including right down to Land's End, it's been fine.
I've never stuck the Ipod through it, as I've never been arsed to get the cable to fit the line in socket, but I'm told it works fine.
