The world’s first lightning connector compliant FM transmitter LAT-FMIB03 will be out in the beginning of June from Logitec.
By simply connecting it to the Lightning port of an iPhone5/iPod touch/iPod nano and then inserting it into the cigarette lighter socket of your car, the music you play will be broadcast through the transmitter, and play through an FM broadcast band frequency on your car radio or stereo.
You can choose a transmit frequency out of 6 channels: (88.2/88.4/88.6/88.8/89.0/89.2MHz).
There is a “Deep bass boost” function which you can control through an on/off button.
Price: 4,870 yen Color: Black, Silver Size: 40.9 × 70.3mm Weight: 6.5g

This is a really cool gadget, especially since nobody listens to the radio anymore to hear music. The Becker 8-track in my lovely old XJ12 just got a new lease on life.

Great for those who have the Tunein Radio App but whose car doesn't support Bluetooth. @shinhayata: Radio listenership maybe be down in Japan but not elsewhere. Plenty of GOOD radio on offer through your smartphone.

Outside the car, FM transmitters have long been under-used and under-appreciated. I've used them since the Windows 95 days, to transmit overseas radio broadcasts from my desktop PC to my living room stereo.
No longer needed, however, since I got my tablet.

¥4890?? No thanks, I have been using FM transmitter with my iPhone5 for a while already and that gadget charges my phone while driving too and I paid something around ¥2000 only, I'll have to check it, may be its from Elecom.
