Now this is one hairy-chested mother of an FM transmitter! Its signal reaches anywhere in my house, upstairs or down at full noise-muted power and also gets to the external TV/FM antenna which is off beam and 20 metres away. It drives my field strength meter to half-scale on its more sensitive range (Belkin didn't register at all) and will be powerful enough to override local stations when used in the car. Rechargeable from both a usb port and via the car ciggy lighter, it is highly recommended. Get in quick while stocks last!

This beastie gets Billy's three thumbs award, no contest.

Downside? It has a bright orange escutcheon, but when you can hide it in the glovebox while it wreaks its magic who is gonna complain about that! I will probably glow in the dark after extended use but what the heck, it's a small price to pay for mobile music of choice.

Cheers
