This review is from: In Car 4-in-1 Mp3 Wireless Modulator/fm Transmitter for Sd Card, USB Pen (Flash) Drive and Mp3 Players (Like Ipod). Black with Remote Control.
This gadget works pretty good, but is not perfect!
Pros:
>Has a lot of frequencies to choose from
>Good FM Stereo sound & and is pretty good most of the time (sometimes there is some interference)
>Very compact
>Actually worked with my 1GB SD card
>Comes with a remote (although you can easily operate the buttons on the unit by hand)
>Remembers set frequency and last song played if you remove it from car (or turn power to unit off)
>Great bargain for the technology
Cons:
>The display shows the frequency, track #, name of song; but it is so tiny you cannot possibly read it while driving!
>The major flaw is that you cannot jump from one folder to next, you can only advance song by song (but I suppose that's ok if you have all your favorite songs in the SD card, or plug in an external MP3 player in the jack provided)
>Another little glitch is that there is no OFF button on the device. My car's power outlet is always...Read more

Good for the price, but does have some flaws,

This FM Transmitter works well. I can hear a slight high pitch hiss at high speeds in my car, but it is not very noticeable at all. The remote was not working, but it was replaced by the seller quickly and the new remote he sent worked fine.
PROS: Accepts both USB flash drive and SD card for memory, has multiple channel tuning for large cities where it may be more difficult to find a non-used station, provides good sound quality over FM Transmission, and does not crackle at all.
CONS: When using the USB or SD card memory slots, you cannot start over from the same location where you stopped/turned off the car previously and you can't even fast forward to the point you were at before you turn off the car or unplug the device from the power outlet. This is aggravating because you have to start all over on a lesson plan or song or whatever you are listening to from the beginning. It would be nice if you could fast forward (and reverse) through the file to where...Read more

Good news and Bad news,

I have owned the FM car transmitter for about two weeks. There is good news and bad news. I will give the bad news first, so to finish on an up note.
BAD NEWS
1.The remote is utterly worthless whether you hold it near or far from the unit. Some buttons do not work at all others are erratic and in consistent. At first I thought that it was dead then, I discovered a transparent plastic strip that had to be pulled to allow the contacts of the battery to touch the remote contacts. There was no mention of this in the instructions.
2. The instruction book is almost completely worthless. It does not correctly identify the controls. Has no drawing or photo of the controls. It mentions a 256MB memory for FM units that are black in color (more MB in units of a different color) but says nothing of how to use it. Gives little info for the remote control and misidentifies the controls on the unit to change the FM channel on the unit. Use the A and B buttons at...Read more
