    I got http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280383175311 . The LCD is tiny so don't expect to be able to read it while driving.

    I only did a quick test using it as an MP3 player because it also has a hard wired connector for hooking up an external mp3 player so I just plugged mine into it but I'm pretty sure it picked up where it left off when I set off in the morning after checking it the previous night. It certainly remembered the frequency it was set to. My fag lighter socket powers down with the ignition off.

    I should also mention that I've been using it for audiobooks so can't really comment on the audio quality for music.

    It's BIN or best offer so you could maybe get it cheaper - I didn't bother.

    Here is a tip for anyone wanting MP3 on an old car radio that still has any sort of working cassette player in it: Don't bother with transmitters! Instead go for this Sony cassette adaptor:

    - I was a sceptic of these gadgets having tried a cheap Halfords one years ago, was such rubbish it went straight back. Recently saw this one with a big company brand name on it and as only £8-is inc P&P so I thought, take punt.

    Absolutely brilliant performance (on 2 different car players), just like a line in socket in fact and you can still get your RDS traffic alerts over your MP3s.
