Yeah, those FM transmitters don't work particularly well, I'll agree. Though if it's buzzing, it sounds like it needs a choke inline with it's power supply. I've used the cassette-type devices before, they work suprisingly well.
I'm suprised Halfords can't help though. The computer things can do other suff too, if you 'back' all the way out to the beginning, maybe select from there. I'm in the process of moving the stereo from my old V40 to the new one, so I'll take a look tomorrow at what there is.
Do you know which system you're intending to install? I know it's a pain, but you could buy a harness for the new radio, cut the Volvo's plugs off and physically solder the new harness to it. If you need help with wire colours, I can certainly help with those.
