MAXELL P-4 Digital FM Transmitter for iPod

Comment: It gets the job done, but the sound is not even close to the quality of the actual iTrips. I bought this cheaper transmitter after dropping my iTrip, and it's definitely worth the price. There's also a faint high pitched sound for most of the play, when it's set to any station. It works, but not as well as other similar products.

Comment: Completely useless. Only shows a digital display when Ipod is "fully charged" -- how long does YOUR Ipod stay fully charged? Even when showing digital display doesn't actually broadcast. Maxell replaced it with the p-4A for a reason. Amazon shouldn't even be selling this, it makes me distrust Amazon. I got it as a Christmas present but it was bought in October so they won't even take it back.

Follow up: After I emailed Amazon, they issued a complete refund, which they refused to do over the phone. Now they just need to pull the product, since they (probably wisely) aren't carrying the P-4A and therefore can't recommend it as an option.

Comment: The only positive aspect of this product is it's cool compact design. Other than that it was a complete hassle to deal with. The sound quality is not good and it looses its signal and shuts off every 5 minutes. I recieved my first one and thought it was defective, so I sent it back and got a second, only to realize that the first wasn't defective, the product is just horrible. Don't waste your time or money on this aggrivation.

Comment: Unfortuneately, this FM transmitter was not compatiable with my iPod Video and I returned it

Comment: This item will only connect to ipods which have a power source receptacle on the top next to the audio output. Amazon was gracious in taking it back.
