(Having changed cars recently from one with a cassette slot to one with
neither that nor an aux socket, I've had to buy one of these FM
transmitters; seems to work OK - it has the channels transposed, but for
a fully synthesized and stereo unit for 3.20 pounds, it works well!)

That's what I use in the US, with my 2005 Solara. It works pretty darn
well. I brought two versions of that with me, and I could switch to
one of them**, but I'm having fun trying to make the aux jack work.
Also, if I use one of them, I think I give up the use of the microphone
that is built into the roof of the car, which is very likely better than
the one*** in one of these adapters and might be better than the one in
the phone. But I don't give up the car speakers.

***Because I've tried talking into that in the USA and I'm told it
doesn't sound good. I had hoped I'd left the clear vinyl sheet
covering the hole for the mike, but if I had, taking it off didn't help.
Of course almost no one calls me when I'm in the car. I just like
fiddling with it.

**Both have an aux jack and a USB jack, and a means for answering the
phone. And the Aux jack probably works with the phone. After all, it
was designed to and it shouldn't matter what kind of car is being
driven.
