The pro option for the Ice-retailers is to spend more than 50p on a decent FM modulator

try this

Quite a few Oofers are using these now and all of them appear to be getting on very well with them

Would a wired option be better?

suspect it probably will be, would be nice to avoid a cable hanging out the dash by the top of climate panel area and having to plug it in each time

Looks very similar to the one i have spare, but mine, once switched, would totaly cut out all other signals, looks like that one constant broadcasts on a specifc freqency as well as allowing others though?

Once switched on, yes, it will constantly broadcast on a selectable channel, and the channels are selected to prevent any harmonics or bleedover from other sources or radio stations and that way you can find a frequency to broadcast on that will also allow a seperate radio to be used in the car - ideal for multimedia applications where different people in the car are listening to different sources.

Would i be right in saying that i wont get stereo no matter what, with a transmitrer. Or is it a case of stereo ariving over a certain strength. It seems possible to hack the application and double the output value, from what i've seen via google...?

Don`t quite understand? This is a Stereo FM modulator - plug in a stereo source, and stereo will be broadcast to your stereo FM radio.

Would a wired option be better?

Not on a vehicle that uses a booster on the antenna. The signal from the radio is often so poor that any extra connections or hardware in line can seriously compromise any radio reception. Yes, the modulator will work fine, but at the expense of the radio reception. If you have an external aerial, then its a 50/50 choice about wired / or Unwired. It really comes down to the quality of the hardware - 50p plug in fag lighter modulaters from China simply do not work.

Any reasons for keeping the R770? Which changer are you struggling with? DC026?

If you change to the Blaupunkt CC32 or CD32 as in the later model Rover 25 / 45 you can also connect an AUX in (or an iPod or USB with full control from the head unit via an interface)

Had a feeling it was a DC036, but its been a while, and far too cold outside to check

As for the r770 - she knows how to use it!! . And I have no end of rubbish plugged in the back of it - phones, TMs etc

Might look at the later ones, though can't see any on eGay.


Still have my 17yr old Kenwood with its 10 disc changer which I guess I could fit, but running out of room behind dash to fit more stuff (needs external amp)
