FM Transmitter Premium Rapid Car Charger Kit Adapter for iPhone iPod

This item is supposed to charge iPods and iPhones as well as play through a car radio. It performs 1 out of 3 functions and performs poorly for that one function- it will not charge my devices. I am disappointed and irritated because I now have another piece of junk that didn't live up to the seller's description.

OK, I didn't pay much for it so I expect to get something that is less than stellar!
I have a lot of static through the radio on the same frequency that I use other RF devices. I may be able to find a station that will pass through better. The power cord falls out easily. As far as keeping the Iphone charged, it works well.
