The short answer is they are not very good - too much interference on the crowded FM band in the city/cities. You are better off with a cassette adaptor like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005T39Y/103-8005082-1454211?v=glance&n=172282 (this one) which I have and am happy with. Works with all MP3 players not just Sony kit or iPods.kellyj said:Wondering if anyone has any experience of using FM Transmitters in the car with an MP3 player. See plenty of these devices for sale on eBay which when connected up to a MP3 player will broadcast a signal which is then picked up by the car radio.
Do the work and how well? In addition are they legal to use.

It works from 2 aaa batteries or from a car plug and allows you to select from 4 frequencies. The one I use is 107.5 and there's no interference at all, working from the batteries allows it to be used other than in the car plus the car plug actually recharges rechargeable batteries as well. Bottom line is that I liked it so much I bought my mother one for her plam zire.

this guy has loads of them, delivery time first off was ages but the second one only took a week.
