4 of 5 Depends on your antenna Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Vern from Washington, DC
On my new Subaru Forester (antenna in the back window) this doesn't work too well. However, on the old beat up Ford work van (antenna on the front hood) it works very well. Was this review helpful?  
4 of 5 Works good Tuesday, November 11, 2008
A Customer from Garden City, NY
This product works good when is positioned in the back seat. It caused static noise when is placed in the front. So far, not a real issue. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Works great Tuesday, November 04, 2008
Monique from Huntington, NY
This is easier to use than my first FM ipod transmitter and much less expensive. It set up very quickly and comes on right away when I turn it on. I use it to listen to podcasts. When I listen to music has the same quality as my prior FM transmitter. Quick delivery. Was this review helpful?
3 of 5 weak signal Tuesday, November 04, 2008
A Customer from WA
The FM signal is very weak. I place the unit within a foot from my car radio, and it still doesn't sound very good. I had a different FM transmitter that sounds better than this one.
But it is easy to use and the price is right. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Amazing gadget Monday, November 03, 2008
Sue from Chandler, AZ
All I was looking for was a simple way to listen to my IPod in the car; nothing too technical nor too expensive. This transmitter is amazingly easy to use and incredible flexible. I use it to listen in the car and am also pleased with the side benefit of using it with any FM radio, anywhere! I thought about buying a couple more because the price is so low, but one is really all one person needs. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Great deal, could have better reception. Monday, November 03, 2008
JeffdaRev from Delaware, OH
After hearing my friend bought one of these from Walmart for $50, I couldn't believe I could buy one WITH a charger this cheap. I love having the charger option.
The reception could be stronger, but this is my first unit, so I have nothing to compare it to. Luckily my dash has an empty space right above my radio so I can sit it near by. Sometimes when I pick it up to look at my iPod, i start to loose the reception.
If you have a place to sit your iPod near your radio, go for it. Not so sure if you will get a strong signal if you sit it on your passenger seat? Was this review helpful?

2 of 5 Doesn't charge nano 4g Sunday, November 02, 2008
A Customer from Arlingto VA
The signal isn't the best going to the radio, its not as strong as the old iTrip I had for my old 20gig iPod, and worst of all the nano 4g chromatic won't charge with this charger. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Good IPod accessory Sunday, November 02, 2008
A Customer from Olivehurst, CA
Very easy to use and my wife is pleased that it charges in the IPod in the car. Not a perfect signal in the car but works perfect in the house for the stereo. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Easy to Use Saturday, November 01, 2008
A Customer from Montgomery, Al
Dosen't have volume control and transmission seems to be a little weak. Was this review helpful?
2 of 5 A disappointing purchase Saturday, November 01, 2008
A J Newman from Canton CT
I found the performance of this device to be poor and inconsistent. The antenna on my car is at the back of the car and is probably too far from the tuner to get a good enough signal. I cannot recommend this product. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Good product for price Saturday, November 01, 2008
j195 from Chicago, IL
This is a good product for it's price. Very easy to use. I have iphone 2G firware 2.1 It does charge it. Only down side is it does get static while driving. Transmitter should be a little more powerful. Over all I like it. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Small and Sweet Thursday, October 23, 2008
A Customer from Phoenix, AZ
I bought this thinking it would be like all of the other FM transmitters I purchased, cheap and barely functional, but then I thought that for $16.99, and with all of these good reviews, even one from my city, I should try it out.
I was pleasantly surprised. I have only had the transmitter for a couple of days, but I have been using it non-stop all over the city. I barely get ANY static even though I live in Phoenix, the fifth largest city in America. I played with the transmitter in my driveway and chose a frequency close to the end of the range, and wrote down a few other frequencies that worked, thinking I would have to change it several times once I got on the road, since this has been my experience in the past, but I am still using the same channel 4 days later.
I am very pleased with its teeny tiny footprint. This is the smallest transmitter I have tried. It simply connects to the bottom of my iPod. I *do* need to keep it plugged in at all times, or else the sound quality suffers. This sucks if I need to charge my cell phone or my aftermarket GPS, but I plan on buying a power splitter for my car charger for this purpose.
I've never had any problems with the transmitter disconnecting from the iPod, but mine is the really old 6GB HP iPod, they don't make these anymore. That problem could be iPod model specific.
If I didn't need to leave the transmitter plugged in all the time for it to function well, I would have given it 5 stars for performance. I am very happy I bought this transmitter, especially at that low low price. Buy.com has some great deals if you catch them! Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Works great...when it works Wednesday, October 15, 2008
A Customer from Decatur, Georgia
I've had this for a few months and it works great; that is, when it works, which is most of the time. Occasionally, though, it will not recognize the frequency that I set it on, |
