Summary: Disappointing piece of junk! 2008-12-11
Comment: How do I even begin? I had such high hopes for this but was frustrated. The sound quality varies depending on where you drive, where you put it in the car and especially sounds bad when you first start the car, for no reason at all! No matter where you place it in the car, all you hear is just static! Please don't waste your money on this trash!

Summary: Should have bought another Tunecast II instead of the III 2008-12-02
Comment: I had a Belkin Tunecast II that I wore out after three years (it turns out that you really are supposed to pull the phono jack out of your iPod by the plug and not the jack's cord if you want the two to stay connected). So, I bought the Tunecast III thinking that it would be an improvement over the older version. Before buying, I determined that the III did not have the recharging capabilities of the II but I was hopeful that I could use the II's power cord on the III.
After two months of having the III, I regret my purchase and wish I had bought another II. You would think that a newer version of a product would be better than the older one, but in this case, the III is a step backward. I got a much stronger signal out of the II, which is the main reason for a transmitter, right?
Another way that the II was better was that it would automatically turn on when I started my iPod, and it would power off when I stopped my iPod. With the III, you have to turn it on and off manually.
I was correct in my guess that the III would not recharge my iPod. However, the cord from my II works on the III, so that is not a problem for me.
Overall, if I were you I would buy the Tunecast II.

Summary: belkin fm tuners 2008-09-30
Comment: I use the Belkins 2 since it came out and now the Belkin3 (The belkin 2 was better), I find being in between Phil and Trenton NJ and having powerful radio stations everywhere, still can find channels that i can hear quite well. Static comes from the radio station on the same channel over riding the belkin. Since i only like my music on MP3 i took off my outside antennae and I use the belkin 2 and get zero noise and very clear reception,

Summary: No more ear buds! 2008-09-06
Comment: I am 58 years old, so still attempting to be tech savy. Love my ipod shuffle, but hate the ear buds (old ears). The Tunecast makes it possible to enjoy my tunes on any FM receiver both in the car and at home. Great quality on my old FM tuner/amp. I live in a small town outside of a major urban area and have no problem finding a clear spot on the FM dial.
