Where can i get an ipod fm transmitter for my US rental car

???????????

Going to the States in 10days. Want to order the above product online, and cheaply, as i dont have time to trail the shops looking for it. This is for my ipod shuffle to connect with a US rental car.

Cheers

    Hi. u can get em in dixons.. they just tune in to any fm transmitter.. provided they use same frequency in the us i would say it's same thing.. try ebay also, they are cheaper on there..

    I've got on of the fm transmitters at the link below which is good, transmits upto 10metres, only problem with scan is that the postage is abit steep, but if you're need Bolton they have a shop (near Reebok Stadium) where you can get it

    There is no reason it wont work in the states, well maybe one reason being a cheapie it could have a limited number of frequencies you can set it to the more expensive ones allow you to use more the cheaper ones don't. The result may be that the range you have could be in use by a proper radio station so getting a frequency you can use may be tough.

    They sell them in walmart I think if you find you cant get it tuned in.
