General consensus on here is to get one from Dave DND. It's 35 quid, but it seems to get all round thumbs up from OOFers  :y

I'm sure someone will post up a link!  :y

I've got a Griffin iTrip Auto(?)... Not too bad when in the UK, although ideally needs to be plugged into the rear cig lighter. Biggest downside is that it invariably needs tuning every time >:(

This one I think http://www.amazon.co.uk/Griffin-Ga22042-Transmitter-Charger-iPhone/dp/tech-data/B0043M5Y7A/ref=de_a_smtd

This was my concern, especially with the September road trip. Switzerland and Northern Italy were a complete nightmare as there were no completely "quiet" frequencies :o We went through every single one manually a couple of times >:( >:(

I use one from tescos, not as good as Dave DNDs , but only about £13, plugs into the bottom of your Ipod and has a charger lead to plug into the cigarette lighter point. Its good enough for me , so it charges the IPOD.

Hope that helps

I purchased an add on dab receiver with a wired FM transmitter which I play through my head unit. It has an input for an aux in which I dont use, my stereo has an SD card slot for my music but it should work well with an IPOD. I purchased it for £26.00 excluding DAB aerial from Dabonwheels the aerial was actually more expensive than the DAB unit, I think now its £29.00 but still a bargain. The clarity is great and the DAB is awesome as well.
