Unlike some other modulators by Monster, Belkin, and Griffin, the AFT 100 lets you select ANY frequency, not one of a few factory presets. I simply found an empty frequency on my radio, adjusted the AFT 100 to match, and it sounds great, with no discernable noise or interference. Auto power-off is a nice feature, since I tuck my unit out-of-sight in the armrest.
I use this device with both my iPod Photo and my iRiver IFP-890T. It's convenient and works well.

This review is from: iriver AFT 100 Mobile FM Transmitter (Electronics) When I bought the iRiver H10 Music player, and I use Yahoo! Unlimited Music, I can figured I could download an unlimited amount of music. Thats great when I am walking to and fro from school, but when I drive, i also wanted that music as well. So I looked around, and the iRiver AFT-100 was the most expensive model
I drive a 04 Mazda RX-8, and it has no tape player, or an auxillary input. The only choice was to use an FM transmitter. On a good note, it does its job, and it does it relatively well. The audio clarity was really good, and I am an audio buff myself. The only drawback is that it you still can hear some static beneath the music if its quiet. For example, if you play Alicia Key's "If I Aint Got You", her piano introduction is also accompanied by some slight static, but this is when it is a quiet part of the song. The bad thing is that, well its FM. It isnt going to be as clear as a CD, but if you have no choice...you have no choice.

This review is from: iriver AFT 100 Mobile FM Transmitter (Electronics) After trying the Belkin Tunecast, both I and II, I laid out the money for this one -- Hooray! It works! I live in a suburb just north of Chicago and drive through 3 'burbs on the way to and from work -- radio stations come and go. The IRiver lets me set 3 so as I drive I can switch easily between stations. There is a little static (mainly between tracks), but for a FM transmitter, this is probably the best you can do for the money. For those of us out there without a tape deck in our car, this is the best way to go. (If you do have a tape deck, just get a tape adapter).
The price may seem high in comparison to some other transmitters, but the advantage of being plugged directly into your car (no batteries!) is worth it. Plus, the auto on and off is great. Now, when I want to play my Rio Carbon I just turn it on, plug in the IRiver cord and turn on my radio -- easy easy easy. I am so glad I bought this! |
