Summary: Don't waste your time. 2010-07-24
Comment: This transmitter was awful. It would stop working periodically and when it did work it was very weak. It broke completely after two months of use. Also, the iPod cannot be charged while this thing is plugged in. After mine broke, I switched to a transmitter that plugs into a car cigarette lighter--I would highly recommend that kind over this one.
Customer Rating: 5 Star
Summary: Great to listening to radio on Ipod. 2009-12-19
Comment: This item is great for those who just want to pick up FM and listen to radio a lot. I use this to hear NPR and the reception is great. The buttons are easy to program and volume is easy to access. Highly recommended. Thanks!It also transmits but I haven't used that feature.

Summary: FM Transmitter/Radio 2009-08-12
Comment: I've had this transmitter for over a year now. It came with my 80GB iPod Video, which was a good deal. It is the ideal FM transmitter for my purposes, listening to music in my room because I can't hook my iPod up to my radio. Unfortunately about 2 weeks ago it stopped working, for reasons unknown to me. It looks like its working, the FM radio works fine, but its not transmitting a signal to my radio anymore.

Anyway:

Pros
-Clear signal, better than any transmitter I've used before.
-Uses the iPods power, so I don't have to worry about turning it off or replacing any batteries.
-Able to quick scan for a clear signal if the one I'm using changes
-Able to program in my favorite stations to use or listen to

Cons
-Can't charge my iPod while using it (fair tradeoff IMO)
-Doesn't fit very well if you have a case for your iPod
-A little loose fitting, can fall out if you move it suddenly

Summary: Kensington 33169 Digital FM Radio and Transmitter for iPods--Well, at best is so so! 2009-05-31
Comment: Kensington 33169 is at best so so. If you leave in an area with a lot of FM station, you are better off hard wiring the iPod into your radio. When it works, the quality of sound is ok!

Summary: works 2009-05-26
Comment: i have a 80g video ipod and i must say, the transmitter works great, only thing, is that i have an ipod case and can charge my ipod without removing the case but to use the FM transmitter i have to remove the case everytime... not a problem, just wish i didn't have to move it each time.

all in all, i have no real issue with it and would buy it again.
