Summary: Awful 2008-07-23
Comment: The first day I got this on Christmas last year, it fell apart putting it in my car jack. I rigged it so it would work anyway. The audio was never clear, but that's probably the same with all of these similar products. Changing the tuner channel is an enormous hassle. The final straw fell today when, upon attempting to remove it from my car jack, it completely fell to pieces. A good chunk of it is actually now lodged in my AC adapter in my car. Good reviews on here should be treated as anomalies and very lucky buyers: this thing is a terrible product.

Summary: NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 3G NANO 2008-06-23
Comment: Contrary to what the technical details of this product says, it IS NOT compatible with the 3RD GENERATION iPOD NANO. This website says it is, the Belkin site says it is, the BOX even says it is.
But it is not.
After opening the box and consulting the User Manuel (where is clearly lists that it is not compatible with 3G) I called Technical Support and was reaffirmed that 3rg Generation needs a different transmitter.

Summary: Good item, then turned to Junk! 2008-05-22
Comment: I bought this item a year ago and totally loved it. It worked perfectly, until about a month ago. This item totally fell apart after taking out of outlet. I tried putting it back together, but it kept doing the exact same thing. Worked great until that point. Has a 3 year warranty, sending for a new one now, so we'll see. I'm sure it will break again, two more years and I will buy another non-Belkin brand. I'm glad they lowered the price because I paid $80 for mine...$80 of trash. That could've been a weeks worth of gas! haha
Just an FYI...If you want something that will last, get something else.

Summary: Great Sound 2008-05-19
Comment: This adapter is great for the iPod, but I find that it gets in the way in our older Honda CR-V. I like the sound on this one much better than others I've tried.

Summary: cheap, breakable and no reception! 2008-04-02
Comment: I bought this product thinking it would be a cheaper alternative to an Apple accessory. I could barely get any reception using any of the Belkin recommended stations (ie 88.1, 89.7), and within months, parts of the product actually broke off and are now stuck in my 12V unit in my BRAND NEW car!! Would not recommend this product to my worst enemey :-(
