| 1172064 | 2011-01-24 02:24:00 | Hi all, my CD stacker in the car has an error, a quick fix would be to just forget about it and use my iPhone for music etc....I have seen these on trade-me and wonder if anyone has tried them. The Apple shop here reckons he can get a more sophisticated version with local GPS to fix FM frequency shift, however $40 version $130 apple and $168 DSE doesnt sound to bad.... Looking for opinions... www.trademe.co.nz |

| 1172065 | 2011-01-24 02:33:00 | I haven't tried these but I have tried a couple of FM transmitters in the past. I like the convenience but on a good system there is a noticeable drop in quality with the ones I had. Still the radio sounds ok so it should be possible. On a side note I managed to tune mine in from about 75 metres away in a friends car if you ever feel like sharing music in a convoy :) |

I'm guessing that's what the local GPS is about. |

| 1172067 | 2011-01-24 07:24:00 | I got myself something like this back when I had my iPhone: jonvy.co.nz Was the model beneath it with a slightly different GUI, but anyway long story short, it was great because I could charge AND listen to music through the iPod interface, and controlling the iPhone directly through the much larger touchscreen buttons was a definite plus! Also means you can use navigation on the iPod screen while still quickly changing songs etc :) |

I'm guessing that's what the local GPS is about. Thats exactly what I was told.....however I dont travel intercity very often so not a show stopper |
