(More customer reviews)I just got this item a little while ago and must say it's one of the better purchases I've made in a while. My 2002 Jeep Wrangler only has a CD player, so for my brand new 32GB iPod Touch, it was either an FM transmitter or an overhauled dashboard. I opted for the much more lucrative of the two. I must say, I couldn't be happier with this product. Sure, you have to deal with signal interruptions as you pass through different towns with conflicting FM stations, but that's true of all FM transmitters. I am very pleased with the sound quality I am getting from this device with only a subtle hiss in the background when the music quiets (but this is probably caused by signal interference and not from the unit itself). I previously owned a cheapo $10 transmitter from ebay for my iPod Nano - this one is only a bit more expensive, but has infinitely better sound quality. As a previous reviewer mentioned, listening to music from your iPod with this device is very much like tuning to a clear FM station. For the audiophiles out there, this might be unacceptable (but they probably wouldn't be purchasing this kind of product anyway). For someone who wants an easy to use FM transmitter with great sound, this is for you.
Pros:
- Extremely reasonable price (compared to what they charge for similar devices at Best Buy)
- Great sound for an FM transmitter
- Easy to install and operate
- Long, flexible arm (the cigarette lighter in my car is recessed pretty deep; this device fits perfectly)
- Solid, attractive design that matches the style of the iPod/iPhone
Cons:
- Remote control only works when held directly in front of the device (low battery?)
- You must manually tune the device to a new frequency during signal disruption
- I was able to tune my old FM transmitter to 87.7, which is usually a clear frequency in most places; this one only allows you to tune from 88.1 - 107.9
