Summary: pretty good 2007-10-06
Comment: This fm transmitter is pretty good. The reception is steller on it. Note: if you atach a 6 ft 3.5 mm cord, you can get an insane range on this thing. I'll put it to you like this, i was walking around my block with my radio and i picked it up a few streets away from the house. The only things i don't like is there is a hi pitch that is audible during quiet or soft music and if there is silence it will shut off after 1 min. but sometimes that's good as well because i go outside and have my pc shut off at a certain time and it shuts off to save my battery. anyway, a for from me on this product. and the battery life is excelent for 2 AA batteries.

Summary: Everything I needed 2007-02-19
Comment: I wanted an entry level transmitter for my fiance's car mostly, and this fit the bill perfectly. You get the option of 4 different major frequencies, and 4 subfrequencies (forgive the lack of technicallity), totalling 16 possible stations to tune into. Personally, about half of them work fine in my area. Now, the included cigarette adapter fit a little strange in my fiance's Dodge Intrepid (adapter is really close to the stick), but you can move the adapters cradle around, and we found a spot that works fine. Also, it should be noted that my fiance's car does not have an antenna, but this works flawlessly, and if I carry the transmitter around the house, it gets picked up by stereos at the other end of the house, For my area at least, the range is excellent. Granted you are not paying for top of the line, so don't expect too much greatness, but for the money this was a great product. I'm planning on buying another down the road.

Summary: Cheap, Easy MP3 Converter.. 2006-12-24
Comment: I got this little gadget when my car's cd changer broke. I use it mostly to listen to audiobooks on long car trips so I'm not picky when it comes to stereo quality. As long as the voice comes in clear, I'm happy. So, here's what I found after 1 month:
The Good:
- Cheap! Got it for 15 dollars during the holiday sales. With that price the sound quality far outweigh the cost.
- Can power using 2 AAA batteries or plugged into car's lighter jack.
- There's a small retractable cord unit which connects an mp3 to the unit. It is separate and keeps cords tidy and out of the way.
- Has 16 FM channels from 88.1 - 106.7 at discrete pre-selected points (x.1, x.3, x.5, x.7)
The Bad:
- The way the plug is designed, it's too chunky to fit into my car's lighter jack (which sits inside a compartment in the middle console). The photo wasn't very clear about this. I use rechargeables on mine and it's fine.
- There's only 1 button to select the station. It progresses only up the range. For example, if you want to set it at 88.7 and you're at 88.9, you have to click repeatedly until the unit goes up to 106 and back to 88.1, etc. Wish there was an Up & Down button.
That said, I'm pretty satisfied with this unit considering I didn't pay much for it. It does the job well in Southern CA where there are tons of stations crammed in my area.

Summary: Variable static over most frequencies 2006-09-11
Comment: I bought this product a few weeks ago. The main problem with the product is that there is static that interferes with the sound quality. I have tried most frequencies - and the thing is that on an empty frequency the signal is great as long as the engine is turned off. Once you start the car this leads to static. Given that some users have reported that they are satisfied with the product it might just be a function of the car you drive!

Summary: Interference on every frequency 2005-11-14
Comment: I bought this based on the 2 reviews already published here. I live in a relatively rural area, but even so I couldn't get a decent signal with this product. It covers a wide range of frequencies and is very easy and convenient to use, but my music came through full of static even on frequenies that are nowhere near those of broadcast radio stations. I ended up returning this piece of junk and buying and installing a car stereo with an aux input--the only reliable way to get MP3 player tunes to play through your car receiver.
