    Panasonic has a nice cheap MP3 player with fron Aux-in input for portable players.

    Louie beat me to it - Panasonic CQ-C1313 - that was the very one I was going to recommend! I bought this unit from In Car Express a while ago, it's great.

    There are a couple of different colour options. InCarExpress price is EUR120 (add another EUR12 for shipping).

    FunkyJamJars is EUR134, no idea what their shipping rate is.

    I really like Pioneer for in-car. I recently bought a KEH-9800. It will read all MP3s from a CD/CD-R and I had the installer put a generic 3.5m male connection in the glove compartment, although there is an IPod specific attachment for it.

    Best of all, it works flawlessly as a Bluetooth hands-free kit, so no seperate bits required. The beauty of this is that I can leave the phone in the brief-case/pocket, when a call comes in it will automatically stop whatever I'm listening to on the CD/radio.

    I presume you're looking for LW for Radio 4? The tuner on the KEH-9800 is so sensitive that I can pick up BBC R4, R3, R2 and R1 as clear as crystal on FM anywhere North of Ashbourne.
