 A steal for the price Mar 06, 2010
By Poshko
I just got this item a little while ago and must say it's one of the better purchases I've made in a while. My 2002 Jeep Wrangler only has a CD player, so for my brand new 32GB iPod Touch, it was either an FM transmitter or an overhauled dashboard. I opted for the much more lucrative of the two. I must say, I couldn't be happier with this product. Sure, you have to deal with signal interruptions as you pass through different towns with conflicting FM stations, but that's true of all FM transmitters. I am very pleased with the sound quality I am getting from this device with only a subtle hiss in the background when the music quiets (but this is probably caused by signal interference and not from the unit itself). I previously owned a cheapo $10 transmitter from ebay for my iPod Nano - this one is only a bit more expensive, but has infinitely better sound quality. As a previous reviewer mentioned, listening to music from your iPod with this device is very much like tuning to a clear FM station. For the audiophiles out there, this might be unacceptable (but they probably wouldn't be purchasing this kind of product anyway). For someone who wants an easy to use FM transmitter with great sound, this is for you.
Pros:
- Extremely reasonable price (compared to what they charge for similar devices at Best Buy)
- Great sound for an FM transmitter
- Easy to install and operate
- Long, flexible arm (the cigarette lighter in my car is recessed pretty deep; this device fits perfectly)
- Solid, attractive design that matches the style of the iPod/iPhone
Cons:
- Remote control only works when held directly in front of the device (low battery?)
- You must manually tune the device to a new frequency during signal disruption
- I was able to tune my old FM transmitter to 87.7, which is usually a clear frequency in most places; this one only allows you to tune from 88.1 - 107.9

Good value, FM transmitter better than others I've owned Jan 25, 2010
By NV123

This product is well worth the value. Installation is a snap (have to adjust it a bit to account for the gear shifter in my VW), the FM transmitter is powerful (does not lose clarity where other products I've owned did); however I do have to turn up the volume quite a bit on the radio, but it's not a deal-breaker.
Before you buy, you might want to consider how it will fit in the space b/w the lighter jack and the gear shift.
Nice to have: I do wish it came with a fixed base which I could slide the device into, instead of having to maneuver & plug in the charger cable every time I use it, but for $10.99, I can't complain.

You get what you pay for Mar 16, 2010
By R. BONE
Pros:
The transmitter works well. The antenna on my car was snapped off and I still get a clear signal. Also, The default signal was set at 88.1FM which is a french radio station in my area and the transmitter had no problem overpowering the french station.
It grips my ipod touch nicely even when it's in its case.
The flexible "neck" works well to locate the ipod where I want.
The cigarette lighter plug keeps the whole thing firmly located.
Cons:
The blue lights are too bright. At night they create too much glare. I ended up putting a piece of electrical tape over the light.
The readout of the station/frequency points straight up and the LCD display is only visible when looked at directly so if you want to look at it you have to lean way forward and look directly down at it.
The remote only works for me if I hold it directly above the transmitter pointing down. Half the buttons on the remote don't seem to do anything. I'm beginning to think that the remote is a practical joke.
It would be nice to have an off switch so that you don't have to unplug the whole thing when not using it.

Godd Product but not advertised correctly Dec 30, 2009
By T. Lally
"Tom"
Well, it's a good product. FM quality is great. However, the model does not fit the itouch as was advertised. Maybe they fixed the descritption by now? So, the itouch is about one inch above where it's supposed to be and doesn't settle on the base holders.
The company was great about resolving the problem.

 Great Feb 18, 2010
By GG
I am really surprised at all the negative reviews for this item. I find it works fantastic. I have used many FM transmitters before and none are perfect, it is difficult to find any that have CD quality sound, but I think for the price it works well. It fits better than some others I tried as you can manipulate it to move which ever way you want. My only complaint would be the remote, as you can only use it if you point it at the very top of the transmitter (a bit inconvenient). Otherwise I find that it works very well, I am happy that you can choose to charge it or not, I was actually in my car with a friend and I was charging my iphone while we were listening to her ipod.
