The Good, The Bad and The Ugly,
June 16, 2009 Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Flexpod Car Mount System for Apple iPhone 3G and 3GS / iPod Touch 2nd and 3rd Gen - Cutting Edge FM Transmitter and Charger with DC Surge Protection and Stabilized Flex-Neck (Electronics)
The GoGroove Flex Pod is a mixed bag - good, bad and just plain ugly. I'm reviewing it because none of the previous reviews seem to have focussed on its principal strengths AND weaknesses. Everyone seems to love it or hate it. Please note that there seem to be perhaps a dozen gizmos that look just like this one, but this review is about the GoGroove Flex Pod.
The Good: The price is right. $35 is a lot cheaper than my original iTrip for my iPOd (that doesn't work with the iPhone - Thanks Apple!) The gooseneck has not failed in over a month of daily use (despite other reports). It can be placed and/or bent into almost any position, allowing me to get it out of the way of my transmission lever as well as position it for optimum viewing of either the front panel of the iPhone or equally, the top where the FM transmitter frequency is displayed. There is a little knurled knob (that I suspect that some of those who say that the unit fails to hold their iPhone securely have...Read more

Got this on a whim when I saw the sale.
Was worried since I didn't know the brand very well, and I hadn't seen this product in person before.
The build quality of the unit seems good. It's also pretty stylish looking. The back plate and clamps have rubbery foam pads on them which will protect your device from scratches and blemishes.
The digital display and buttons on the top work very well and are easy to use.
The FM Transmitter on this thing is very impressive. I've owned a handful of FM transmitters and this is the best I've had. It completely takes over the station I have it set to and plays very clean audio with zero static, hiss, fuzzy, breakups, or quality loss.
The audio also goes right through the lower dock connector, which is nice. You only need to use the headphone jack if you want to utilize the hands free features of the phone/device. Plugging the small cable (included) from your headhphone jack to the "hands free"...Read more

Great Transmitter,

I used this for the past few days, and I have to say, it works really well compared to other transmitters I've tried. I had a DLO that just didn't give me the sound or consistency I was looking for.
This FM Transmitter in contrast makes up for everything my old one was lacking. This one has a nice cradle with grips so my IPHONE never rolls around when I drive. Also, locking of the station seems pretty strong... I can use it on a lot of different stations, even though I live in a big city. I rate the sound quality a 9 out of 10, and the design I give a 10 out of 10.
I've never heard of this brand, but it seems like they are good at making FM Transmitters.
One more thing... this is awesome because I can use it with my IPHONE tot alk while I'm driving. It is now illegal to talk on a cell phone in California while driving, but with this thing, when a call comes in, you just leave it in the cradle, the music fades out, then touch the screen, and the call...Read more
