Terrible Transmitter [Posted on 2008-06-18] This is the only FM transmitter for the iPhone. The plug that attaches to the iPhone doesn't even stay in the iPhone.
Garbage [Posted on 2008-06-24] This is hands down the WORST iPod FM transmitter I've tried to date. I've given many a run for their money, and of all of this, this has the worst sound quality. Constant static, even on channels that come in clear through other transmitters. The ClearScan feature seems to arbitrarily pick channels, because none of the ones it's chosen came in clear.
I took mine back after three days.
Not the best if the best [Posted on 2008-06-28] When I received my Belkin fm transmitter I was in shock because it was very big.The quality is not bad if your antenne of your car has a antenna in the front for example(Ford Edge or Nissan Muranno) but if the antenna is in the back for example( Lexus Rx350 or Kia Sportage(2006+)) you'll hear a lot of the annoying sound.
So before you buy it check where your car antenna is.
Ouch, not a good product [Posted on 2008-07-15] I really should have read these reviews first. I will be returning this product.
In brief, the pros: Solid construction, well made unit. Should last a long time. Easy to use and get working.
Cons:
Terrible audio quality. I had to find a new FM channel nearly every day, sometimes many times a day. Even when I did find a decently clear channel there was still a background of static and noise and the audio quality from the ipod was inferior to that of even regular radio channels.
Even tho it says made for the iphone when I plug it into my iphone I get the warning "this accessory is not compatible with the iphone" - it does seem to work ok and charge the unit but... i sure hate seeing that message. Makes me think I am doing something wrong by using it.
If i move the ipod around to change songs or such, I'll get bursts of static on the radio! What is this 1970 technology?
Too expensive for the poor audio quality - if it was $19.99 I might keep it as a back up or for when I am in a friends car or a rental car. For $70 this is going back immediately.
Hit and miss [Posted on 2008-07-15] My experience with this is spotty. It works great with either my iPhone or iPod classic, but only in my Ford Escape, which has its antenna in the front.
In my Hyundai, the interference is unbearable. Its antenna is in the back, confirming what a previous reviewer had discovered: it doesn't work very well with rear antennae).
Disappointing.
