This item was a lifesaver for our yearly road trip!!! It allowed us to play our ipod in the car as well as keeping the ipod charged the whole time! The only problem (minimal) that we had was finding diffrent stations through each city since it's an FM transmitter! The presets were very helpful! We love it and still use it everyday!
Good Considering The Price:
This transmitter is very cheap compared to the competitive market. But being cheap has its fall backs. There is always a degree of static in the background. I am not sure if all transmitters are like this, but you are better off with a direct connection. Setting the station you want to broadcast on is a breeze. Good product for the price. But if can have a direct connection I would suggest it.
Works great, just what I need:
So glad I bought this online vs. Best Buy. Granted this item has been discontinued it's upgrade is more expensive. The city where I live has great reception so I usually don't have a problem with the chosen frequency. If I travel finding a good station isn't hard. It does exactly what I need. I would say a nice little remote would be nice, oh well :)
Good for an FM transmitter:
This product works pretty well once you find a clear radio station. This can take some doing, as you must manually search through the dial and test. If you aren't on a clear station, some static will interfere with your music. But even in that case, if you think of it as radio, it's a radio station that you control, and has better reception than normal radio. Of course the quality is nowhere near a direct line or even a cassette adapter.
