Macally FM Transmitter and Charger for iPod Devices White iceFM

 (7 customer reviews)

Background: I'm new to this iPod / MP3 player thing. I wanted to get my feet wet, so I recently bought a certified refurbished iPod Shuffle - 1st Generation for around $33 at the Apple Store. I'm so far happy with the Shuffle knowing it's limitations.

Reason for the ICEFM purchase: is primarily based on price. After reading reviews for other FM transmitters, the more expensive it is, the less likely there would be static. I really didn't want to spend that much especially since I have an original AM/FM CD player in my '96 Blazer. I'm sure with the best transmitter, there will be static in my car.

We have purchase several FM Tranmitters-- not impressed with any-- til we got this one. We were successful in playing in 3 different vehicles-- one being an RV.. We also liked that there are no batteries to replace- as we feel this highly effected our last few transmitters- if the battery was the very least low- it would not work properly.
The only downfall we can see is it is not cordless-- but none the less--- it works better than any other one we have had in the past.
Oh yeah--- and the fact in charges as you play- is really a cool feature!
GREAT PRODUCT!

It only has 4 or so different frequencies it operates at, but I've driven in the Dallas Metroplex and never had any interference. Signal is nice and strong. I drive a Nissan Altima and no problems what so ever. Way better than one of the 1st gen Belkins I tried to use several years ago.
