I own the one shown in this link

But the one I have is made by Merlin. I bought it from Dubai Airport Duty Free Shop for around US$ 100. It works fine with Touch HD for calls and playing any audio files.

using the venturi mini, it's about £60-£70 but very good quality

Cool, but no remotes at all?

You mean, literally very good quality? As in, like wired/CD, no static, interference from other radio stations, hiss? Or good as in "okay for an FM transmitter"? It would be exciting if a good FM transmitter existed, it would save me from upgrading my car!

I'd love to know this as well. We drove down to Italy last year and we used a Tom Tom FM transmitter and it was rubbish. We constantly needed to retune it in the UK and France. When we got to Italy it was impossible to use due to all the radio stations they have.

I found two reviews on this Venturi thingie. The cnet reviewer complains a little about music playback quality, while the trustedreviews.com's statement is that the sound is crap. The user comment in the end confirms. So it looks like miracles don't happen, and a good FM transmitter is still an oxymoron. Alas...

Let me clarify. I have used many FM Transmitters before and this one has been the best so far.

However, I know the quality depends on your location. In Riyadh, when I live now, the spectrum of FM is not very congested, so it is easy to find a good frequency to use. For other locations, you have to try it yourself.

No FM Transmitter can match a wired solution. But, the one I tested was good enough.

Thanks for clarifying - I almost bought the thing!

Just a quick follow-up question - how do you select the frequency? Is there a set of predefined frequencies or can you manually tune it? What's the increment and the overall range (from xxMHz to yyMHz)?

There are two buttons for moving up or down for the frequency. I did not find yet a way to save some settings as profiles. Increments are in 0.1 and the whole FM spectrum is covered.
