I just got this item a little while ago and must say it's one of the better purchases I've made in a while. My 2002 Jeep Wrangler only has a CD player, so for my brand new 32GB iPod Touch, it was either an FM transmitter or an overhauled dashboard. I opted for the much more lucrative of the two. I must say, I couldn't be happier with this product. Sure, you have to deal with signal interruptions as you pass through different towns with conflicting FM stations, but that's true of all FM transmitters. I am very pleased with the sound quality I am getting from this device with only a subtle hiss in the background when the music quiets (but this is probably caused by signal interference and not from the unit itself). I previously owned a cheapo $10 transmitter from ebay for my iPod Nano - this one is only a bit more expensive, but has infinitely better sound quality. As a previous reviewer mentioned, listening to music from your iPod with this device is very much like tuning to a...Read more

This product is well worth the value. Installation is a snap (have to adjust it a bit to account for the gear shifter in my VW), the FM transmitter is powerful (does not lose clarity where other products I've owned did); however I do have to turn up the volume quite a bit on the radio, but it's not a deal-breaker.

Before you buy, you might want to consider how it will fit in the space b/w the lighter jack and the gear shift.

Nice to have: I do wish it came with a fixed base which I could slide the device into, instead of having to maneuver & plug in the charger cable every time I use it, but for $10.99, I can't complain.

Pros:

The transmitter works well. The antenna on my car was snapped off and I still get a clear signal. Also, The default signal was set at 88.1FM which is a french radio station in my area and the transmitter had no problem overpowering the french station.

It grips my ipod touch nicely even when it's in its case.

The flexible "neck" works well to locate the ipod where I want.

The cigarette lighter plug keeps the whole thing firmly located.

Cons:

The blue lights are too bright. At night they create too much glare. I ended up putting a piece of electrical tape over the light.

The readout of the station/frequency points straight up and the LCD display is only visible when looked at directly so if you want to look at it you have to lean way forward and look directly down at it.

The remote only works for me if I hold it directly above the transmitter pointing down. Half the buttons on the remote don't...Read more
