Not all iPod FM transmitters are created equal — some have dodgy cradles that fling your iPod around the cabin, others roll over at the first sign of interference. We pick three of the best, so you have your tunes everywhere you drive.

Reviews

Cygnett GrooveTransmit

It mightn't offer the best fidelity, but the GrooveTransmit is a handy, non-invasive way of getting your MP3 collection to play through the car stereo.
Navman MY500XT

Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.
Navman MY30

Good looks, good price, but let down by overzealous school warnings and limited lane guidance.
Navman MY55T

Just like the 4.7-inch MY50T, but with added goodness in the form of Bluetooth hands-free, more memory, an FM transmitter, 3D landmarks and a higher capacity battery.
Griffin iTrip Autopilot

Griffin's iTrip Autopilot is a relatively cheap and minimalist FM transmitter that connects your iPhone or iPod to a car stereo.
Navman S35

It looks like last year's S30, except it's been given the latest Whereis maps and spoken street names. Unlike the S-Series Platinum models, the S35 soldiers on with the old interface, which is now shared with the Mio Moov range.
Navman S200

The S200 is like the top-of-the-range S300t, except that it misses out on a built-in traffic messaging receiver. This means its feature list includes an FM transmitter, MP3 and video playback, 3D landmarks, extended lane info and an iPhone-style interface.
Navman S150

Stepping up the Platinum S-Series range, the S150 gains Bluetooth hands-free, MP3 playback and 3D landmarks, in addition to a shiny exterior and iPhone-inspired interface.

Be like the Hoff: Mio's Knight Rider GPS

For children of the '80s, Mio's Knight Rider GPS complete with the voice of KITT — not to mention flashing red lights — may be the greatest invention since the three day weekend. Shame it's U.S. only.
