Car Charger+FM Radio Adapter Transmitter for IPOD Touch
This review is from: Car Charger+FM Radio Adapter Transmitter for IPOD Touch (Electronics)
There are a lot of FM transmitters out there to sift through and finding the right one can be a real chore. I'm sorry that I gave this FM transmitter a shot because it fails in every way that you would want one to succeed.
The only pro this transmitter has is the price. It's cheap. Period.
Finding a clean station to broadcast on is a hassle when you are driving. When you do find a station that does come in "clear" there is still faint white noise in the background that just won't go away. Also, the sound quality is just terrible to put it plainly. Everytime there is a "S" that is spoken/sung or high pitched cymbals it completely distorts it.
Then there is the charging portion of this device. The lighter outlets in my vehicle have worked fine with my radar detector, my gps, my phone, etc. This device I had to basically jam in the lighter outlet and only then it would charge for a given amount of time before it jarred loose due to minor...Read more

This transmitter is very, very weak. I am an electrical engineer and the transmission power this thing puts out is pittiful. Yes, it will broadcast to a clear fm channel on your radio. However, the tranmitter must be litterally sitting right next to your radio or on your dash for your radio to even get the signal. And because the transmitter signal is so weak it results in some other problems:
1) The audio is low and faint. Even with the volume turned all the way up on the ipod, the audio is not very loud, resulting it the background noise being amplified, thus you get a noisey signal.
2) Because the transmitter is extremely weak, the radio has a harder time locking into the signal. That is why people experience static with this device. Think of it like trying to tune in a very weak FM station in your town, or an FM station from 80 miles away - it goes in and out and has static that is very annoying. That is EXACTLY how this device will sound.

I really like this transmitter! It works way better than the one that i purchased at radioshack for 20 dollars! The other transmitter didnt last long and i am hoping this one will. Although there are no memory buttons it still good for the price and the shipping was great it came in less time than i thought it would take.
