RE: Wireless In-Car MP3?

Looking at the pics someone else posted, it was the M-Station I think.
The ad came 'round in one the Maplin offers emails, unfortunately long

Looked a neat compromise between laptop & adaptor into tape player, and
a full-blown carputer, also wasn't too expensive (after Maplin's price
reduction anyway).

Are they any good ? Anyone got one ?
