 Solid design, performs as promised Jan 12, 2010
By T. Fitzwater
"Necta"
An overview of this item is that it works as designed. I have an iPod Touch 3G with a plastic case and this device holds it well. It hasn't slipped or fallen out once. The wide range of channels on the device provides great sound quality with no static or interference at all. This device sits about a foot away from my radio and this distance is no problem at all. Some other iPod FM transmitters require the device to be placed literally next to the radio in order for the music to even come through. This transmitter though provides a great broadcasting signal at any of the channels available. However, there is a faint high pitched whine that accompanies the music through the speakers and increases and decreases with the volume. This whine is negligible though and hardly noticeable.
The car charger portion fits in very well in my car (02 Honda Civic) but the connector is not flexible or bendable as in other models. Also, my cup holder flips open and closed and while this device doesn't keep you from having drinks there, I am unable to open or shut the cup holder once the device is inserted into the car charger. However, the connector allows for the iPod to be rotated 180 degrees up and down and I find the lack of flexibility with the positioning of the device doesn't bother me at all. The iPod charges well through this device and connection is simple.
Overall this product works. For the price, I would definitely recommend it.
UPDATE:
I wanted to update my review of this product after months of use. The original transmitter I purchased ended up breaking. The chord that connects the transmitter to my iPod Touch ended up breaking in half and completely came apart. This happened without any wear at all and seemed to be a natural progression of the chord simply moving around. I purchased another one (how can you beat the <$10 price) and found that this transmitter didn't hold my iPod as well as the first. I tried my iPod with and without the case but found that it constantly keeps falling out and continues to do so. It's a good transmitter for the price but don't count on it holding your iPod securely or functioning for more than a few months.

FM Transmitter/Charger Feb 11, 2010
By James C. Dickinson

Overall this transmitter works very well. Most transmitters I looked at have less than favorable reviews, however this one had better overall reviews. I always discount a review where the person received a broken product, once in a while things slip by, such is life.
I wasn't expecting too terribly much from this transmitter. I simply hoped it transmitted in my truck with minimal feedback or fuzz, it performs as I hoped. As another review stated, you will have some 'white noise' just like dead air on the radio, and this makes sense to me as you are broadcasting a radio signal. When listening to music the white noise is not noticeable. You have two options to hook up your iPod or MP3 player (note you CAN use this with other players), the first option it the one you see in the product image, the iPod connector. This connection transmits the music as well as charges you iPod. The second option is a mini plug to mini plug cable. You plug it into your headphone jack then into the bottom of the transmitter. Through experimenting the iPod connector has slightly better sound quality. When using the mini plug sound can get distorted if you iPod's volume is turned up all the way. I found that if the iPod volume was about 75% there was no distortion; you will not have this issue with the iPod connector as the volume setting on the iPod remains constant, even if you change it it will not change the volume being transmitted.
Possibly my favorite part about this transmitter is how it holds the iPod. I've tried it in two different cars and you can adjust it well enough to fit any dash configuration. I would have liked it if the holster could be adjusted in more than one dimension (it only pivots front to back, not side to side) that way you could angle it so it faces you as the driver and make changing songs easier (safer, less distracting). I also tried it with my friends iPhone (I am using with the newest nano). Worked just as well with his phone as with my nano. The only thing we agreed didn't work as well was the holster. The iPhone is heavier and I'm not sure how secure it would be on a bumpy road. The arms hold my nano very well, I just don't think you can get it adjusted tight enough to handle the large and heavier full iPod or iPhone. Maybe throw a rubber band around it too like someone else said. The only other drawback is the LED display at night, it's VERY bright while driving at night which can be distracting, but I just cover it up by shifting the iPod higher in the holster to block it out.
Overall I would buy this again if need be. I would never pay the suggested full retail (I was surprised as how 'hollow' and 'cheap' it felt out of the package), I think the cost here is more than fair for the product you will get. Bottom line- It works, could it be nicer? Sure, almost everything could be. But for the minimal price you pay even after shipping, you honestly can't complain.

 Poorly wired Jul 27, 2010
By Jaybird55
Within one day of the purchase the wiring on the adjustable arm had split and the unit had stopped working. Had to take apart and solder new wire inside. Factory wiring was some flimsy 22 gauge wire and left no service loop for some play in the adjustable arm. Before and after the repairs the product worked great with limited static compared to some other transmitters I have tried. Worth the price if you own a soldering iron.

By C. Perez
This item is really good,performs well,and is a great buy for the price.My only complaint is I wish there were more helpful instructions included,but as a tip the station that has worked for me is 87.9.Took this item on a road trip recently and it was great!If item is touched or moved slightly,it does stop working(you get static),but if you try it again after a few minutes it works without a problem.Highly recommend it!!Love having access to all my Itunes music at the touch of my fingertips without spending a ton of money!

For the price I paid this item works perfectly; It charges while it plays and it will not fade out of a station all day. I recently used it on a 1200 mile trip and did not lose reception connection once. Well worth the price; in fact I would have paid double!!!
