Just purchesed an I-pod nano and was wondering if the radio remote is any good? Most places seem to be selling them for £35 are they worth the money?
Thanks

Its the bit that plugs into the i-pod so that you can recive FM radio, are they illagal? they are for sale in all the high street shops

They are not illegal to sell or own, but they are illegal to use (you're essentially transmitting on the FM band without a license).

I had one (not the one shown) and it was a bit poor to be honest. The ones with just a **** to tune are worse still; try and get one with digital tuning and an LCD display to help you.

You need to find a 'blank' area on the FM band to use, and this will change as you move around the country so long trips can be a pain.

Hard-wire is the way forward...

I think I may have confused the issue
I looking for info on turning the I-pod into a FM radio not transmiting the I-pod to a radio.

He's meaning the connector that lets the ipod receive radio signals NOT the adapter that transmits a radio signal so you can pick up your ipod on a car stereo.
