FM Modulator

You will not pick up RDS information if using an FM transmitter as you tune the radio to a frequency matching the mount transmitter.
You can use an RDS-TMC receiver with the FM mount, reception is still the same as always in the UK, flaky is an understatement to be honest - Mike

Peter,

If you Google around looking at user experience of FM transmitters you will find many more people with problems than eulogies.

A short time ago I tried a similar device with my home laptop, in an attempt to transmit music to nearby FM radios and it was pretty useless. You can get an FM transmitter that will work, but it needs to be far more powerful than is legal in the UK.

An additional problem with using FM in a car is that the signal needs to reach the aerial. My aerial is on the rear fender. Forget about the signal being picked up by the lead from the aerial to the car radio as these are deliberately designed NOT to pick up stray signals from the car ignition, etc.

What I have done, so I can use my Zen MP3 player in the car, is to buy a Sony cassette feeder. It cost a bit over a tenner and it works perfectly. You could use that with you TT I am sure. (And before anyone asks why I bought a Zen and don't use my 910 for music, the answer is that the 910 does not recognise my Napster WMA files)
