Looks like there is a car specific one, the SF 100, that runs off the car power socket....

Illegal to use in the UK of course, but so must the Arkon be. I got a friend in the States to get mine but you can get them on Ebay.
Works a treat

I'd tread carefully with the SF100 as I've seen a few user reviews of it saying that its prone to interferance...... the SF150 and SF250 are brand new models (so I assume improvements over the SF100), the SF250 also benefits from PLL (Phase Lock Loop) which helps keep a strong signal.

Just find a frequency that's not too close to another station. I've been told that you are supposed to get a better reception around the middle of the range. i.e. around 95-99, but this could all be crap.
I tend to leave the ipod in my top pocket while I'm using it. My body tends to amplify the signal and give a better reception. (could be aided by the layers of fat
) So much so that when I get over the Pennines towards Manc the signal is even powerful enough to out broadcast radio Lancashire which is on 95.5.
