Two difficultnesses with this product
By C. Verrilli
First, let me say that this item works for the most part as advertised. It hooks up fine with my ipod 5th generation and plays over the FM radio without much static as long as I choose an unused station. It likewise remains in place reasonably well in the lighter socket.

My huge troubles with this product are:
1) Each time you turn off the car and turn it back on, you have to reset the transmitting frequency (station) on the unit. It resets to 88.1 each time power is removed.
2) Each time you turn off the car you have to likewise turn off (or pause) the ipod or else the ipod will keep playing. Likewise, each time you turn on the car, you have to press play on the ipod to get started playing.

In my other car I have an old product (no longer available) that has neither of these problems. I don’t need to touch it when turning off or on the car and it proceeds right where it left off.

Watch using it for a Droid!
By B. Shumate
Overall this is a fantastic product at a great price and it works beautifully! I purchased it to be capable to play my MP3s from my Motorola Droid through my vehicle’s stereo and it works great for it…..the sound and signal quality from the FM transmitter impressed me – to be rather honest, I figured (at the low price) that it would end up sounding like crap but I was amazed that it works REALLY well. Only two difficultnesses I have with it….one is REALLY minor.

1) The mini-jack cord supplied with it to connect your non-iPhone items to it is a bit cheap. Mind you, it works well but I would suggest buying a better quality cord online or at your local Radio Shack (or The Shack as they seem to be called now). It’s a minor thing and may only be of any importance to me….lol

2) For any Droid users who are thinking the same thing for this that I did……..The FM transmitter seems to interfere with the cell phone signal. I don’t know how or why, and it doesn’t in truth make any sense to me, since cell frequencies are substantially higher than FM, but when I put the Droid in the holder it loses it’s 3G signal, and most of it’s signal PERIOD! If I take it out of the holder it comes back and it will sporadically come back as you drive – I’m assuming when you hit a more inviolable signal area. I’ve repeated this over and over again, in dissimilar geological locations, with the results always being the same. I don’t understand it, but it does it. In a urban area I doubt if it would be an issue, with the signal strength being so high in all areas of a city mostly. But in a rural area, like I presently reside, it does seem to represent a problem…..although I haven’t had the prospect to test that theory as of yet.

If not for the second problem, I would have given the item a five-star rating as it is a great product for an unbelievable price. If you are going to use it for an iPod (possibly even an iPhone) then it would be a WONDERFUL deal – it comes with an iPod remote as well, which I don’t think it mentions in the product description. If you are buying for a Droid, or perhaps other phone, then be conscious of where you might have issue.

BTW, make sure that you keep whatsoever you use this for at in regards to half volume and use your stereo for volume control……makes it sound MUCH better!

Thanks for reading my review and I hope it was helpful to you.

Great for a road trip
By K. Bush
I purchased this device after my older Belkin model was stolen (with iPod) out of my car! Just after buying it, I moved all over the country and if it weren’t for this transmitter, the trip would have been a heck of a lot longer! It was outstanding and never gave us any trouble at all. I have a newer nano and I had read that some humans were having trouble with the nano staying in the device. I had purchased a clear, thin case for my nano and this works like a charm for the holder. No problems, what-so-ever. Plus, once you want to take the iPod inside, you’ve already got the protective case on it! I would surely commend this to everybody!
