Summary: Car Stereo FM Transmitter 2008-08-20
Comment: Sony DCC-FMT3 Car FM Stereo Transmitter
I am using this transmitter currently for my walkman and it works fine. At firsts I thought it may have been too cheap for it to be any good, but it is not so. It's really a great little gadget and works very well. I get good reception. No complaints so far.

Summary: Getting Rid of Some Misconceptions 2008-05-29
Comment: First off, I've had one of these for nearly two years [perhaps longer, I'm not sure...I've had it almost as long as my car!]. In fact, the only reason that I'm replacing mine now [with an identical one], is because I accidentally left the windows open a month or so ago and the darned thing got wet. Amazingly it still mostly works, the sound is just quite a bit softer.
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I've yet to have a problem with static. Sure, you get a problem if you have it set to one specific preset and then drive into a new area that happens to have a very strong radio station on that specific frequency. However, if it's not strong, more often than not, the transmitter will drown out the new station. When I lived near Dallas, I used 106.7 all the time, and that's an actual legitimate station there!
In my experiences, I've found that the available stations tend to be empty air stations in most of Texas and parts of Oklahoma. I've put this thing to the test in hilly regions, stormy weather, sitting in the hot sun all day, etc, with never any problems [until I left the darned windows down].
Oh, and as far as the magnet goes, just attach it to the little screw that holds up your rear-view mirror. I've found that to be the best location for it. I don't understand what all this bollocks is about it having to be close to your physical antenna. I've got an old Oldsmobile, so my "antennas" are pretty much at opposite ends of the car, and they've always worked fine.
Oh, and about the other transmitters interfering? My mum and I both drove on a four hour trip last August. They listened to my mp3 player the whole way there by tuning their radio into my "station." Not once have I experienced interference from other passer-by's transmitters or supposedly stronger radio signals. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I am pointing out that never once in two years of frequent driving have I had that situation occur.

Summary: Works Great! 2008-01-15
Comment: It arrived as ordered and on time. It works Great and we live in a very hilly area. I would suggest this to anyone. It's very ecnomical. I love something inexpensive that does the job just as good a something more expensive.

Summary: Save your money 2008-01-12
Comment: Transmitter is too weak. Transmission can be easily overcome by transmitters in vehicles passing by.
Ugly long antenna line.
Went out and bought a Griffin transmitter which has much more power.

Summary: so-so wouldnt buy it again 2007-04-19
Comment: my attenna is on the outside of the truck, so the only way to get a consistant signal was to stick the mp3s attenna magnet ON the trucks attenna.
there is also a problem with the sound, it a prt of the song somes in strong (loud drums for instance) the mp3 transmitter muffles it
