My wife recently gave me a new iPod Nano. I wanted to use it in my car but, my old FM transmitter stopped working. I set out to find a new transmitter that will be compatible and one that in particular, connected to the iPod via the headphone jack. I have bought several different FM transmitters that connected to the bottom connector of the iPod that didn't work very well in Los Angeles. The only one that did work was the NewerTech RoadTrip FM that just had the headphone connector. However, it broke and it is not sold anymore.
Decided to give the AllKit FM Transmitter a try. I figure for less than $8 bucks, what the heck. Well, I've been using it for about a month now and it works great, even with the busy airways here in Los Angeles. Also used it on a five hour road trip to Carmel and it worked like a champ. The sound is pretty good. Not as good as a directly connected iPod but, unfortunately, I bought my Outback one year early and I don't feel like taking apart my whole...Read more

This thing works like a charm. I plug my iTouch into it; it securely holds it; it charges it and it plays my tunes through my stereo. I originally purchased it to charge my iTouch while using it as a GPS. in my car there are 2 cigarette lighter ports. This now permanently occupies one of them.

I bought the older model in September it is awesome.
This is a new and improved model.
1st it has a remote that control the phone and the transmiter. It's cool
2nd the light on the cigeratee lighter is dimmer, cool
3rd the display for the station is blue instead of white. Nice
4th the sound level from the dock connector is louder.
Now the problems that are not present on the original.
On 3G service it works great. But on the edge it starts making cell noise then IT BLOCKS CELL SERVICE. The tower will ignor the phone for 5-15 min. Turning the phone off and on does not help
Next when the unit looses power it forgets what station it was on and goes back to 88.1
The wire to the headphone jack is longer but very cheap and the plastic breaks the first time you use it.
Now you might think I got a bad unit, but I loved the first unit and paid over one hundred dollars for it. When I found this one I didn't know it was not the same...Read more
