not going to be too much use if your 'cigarette lighter' / power socket happens to be in an out of the way place (ie, like mine, WAY down between the front seats). That aside, for the price, pretty damn good. I'd buy one, but for the aforementioned problemo!

...you can buy a socket extender from more-or-less any car parts place that will put a socket where you _do_ want it!

I didn't fink of dat one!

Now I go beat head wiv rock.

Just spotted the actual price (£80) too. Mis-read it earlier as £13 ('s not been a good day today!!). F**k that! Commitment to buy recinded.

PS. There's not really any suitable free space on my dash for ANYTHING, hence the earlier comment (DUH)

Hope my brain's back in service (well, more than today anyway) tomorrow.

too many functions for me. my phone does well with the handsfree stuff by itself. and for an FM transmitting media streamer... the line out port is nice, but if you're getting it to hook up something like an Ipod to a stereo that has an Aux input, there are adapters that are much cheaper than this... and for those with stereos without Aux inputs, the FM transmitter is nice... but I already have a Mach Speed that works pretty good (dunno if it's the old stock radio it's being used with or the device itself), but the volume could be a little higher on it. but for $20(~£10) it works great. and that's a far cry from $160(£80).

I'm sure there's a market for it, niche as it may be, though.

Does AVRCP or A2DP provide the name of the content being played, and does the gizmo then forward that over RDS to the head unit? Or did they use an RDS-capable transmitter solely so they could say "Hello Venturi"?

They went so far as to put a USB charger in, but no mass storage access? - that I can see mentioned on their site anyhow.

And the phone book doesn't work on Nokias.

Maybe these will appear on the Venturi (Maxi|Nano|Shuffle|Micro|Touch|v2)

@Myself - it does tell you what song is playing, it has a fair amount of info on their site
