    Hi,

    Wondering if anyone has come across an FM transmitter/charger for the iPhone 6. Or whether anyone knows if the Belkin Tunebase is compatible? Know its the same lightning connector, but not sure if the arm to hold the phone in place is big enough?

    Thanks

    I know people who had Belkin FM transmitters for iPod touches and they were absolutely ****e! They had to position them in an exact position and couldn't move without a fuzzy noise/loss of sound quality.

    You're better off using a cable or bluetooth

    I am using a Griffin roadtrip Dual connect with my Iphone 6, using the apple dock to Lightening adaptor. I am using it in Auxiliarry input mode, but I presume if the device works then the FM transmitter should work fine as well.

    I would add my 2 cents that FM transmitters don't tend to have the same sound quality as a direct connection.

    Does it need to be an FM Transmitter?

    I got the Kinivo BTC450 from Amazon last year & couldnt be happier.

    Its a Bluetooth enabled hands free device which you can also play & control music through.
    It's pretty small, maybe a bit bigger than a €2 coin, powered by your cigarette lighter port (which also has a usb socket to charge your phone or other device) and 3.5mm cable inserts into your auxiliary input on your radio.

    Mine is located on the dash & my phone is on the windscreen in a €10 carphone warehouse mount.

    It was around £30 on Amazon but I'm pretty sure there is a belkin equivalent that looks the exact same as it & is a lot dearer.
