Good enough but you could get a better transmitter [Posted on 2007-05-04]
I bough this product for several reasons since it has several parts. I needed a case and this one is excellent. I need it a headphone splitter and this one is excellent as well. I was not looking for headphones but these in particular has an excellent sound that I did not expect. I had a car charger but I can use an extra one and this one seems ok. I wanted to try the tape to play my ipod music in the car and I did not find it that good in the beginning. It sounds like being inside a tin can, but it could be just my car stereo, I do not know. Eventually I was forced to come back and edit my review, because as I kept using the tape the sound got better each time, at least it does not have the interference from radio stations all the time, specially around cities like the other transmitters which are horrible. I still need to find a better transmitter but so far with what I have tried this is the best. Most parts and excellent, the tape is above average but not excellent, still I highly recommend it.

Although some of the items in the kit (headphones, auxilary headphone jack mainly) I doubt I will use the car charger and cassette adapter were the best. There's no static or anything from using the adapter either. I hear the FM tuner adapters give off a lot of static so I would prefer to use the cassette and put up with the cord instead of putting up with static any time. It's great for cars with no CD player or auxiliary cable!

While I was quite disappointed in the sound when using the plug in tape portion of this kit (I eventually bought an FM transmitter to use with my IPod) the variety of chargers, extra headphones and the "holder" have been very useful. Would I buy it again? Probably not.
Unacceptable gear noise easily fixed [Posted on 2007-11-15]
This kit comes in a pretty slick case that holds everything and your iPod in relative convenience. The USB adapter, ear buds, splitter, and car power/Firewire adapters all perform reasonably well (though the ear buds are no better than the stock Apple buds).
The tape adapter, though, had completely unacceptable gear noise when I put it in my car. The purpose of the gears is to fool your tape player into thinking that it is actually pulling and winding tape. Unfortunately the mesh, alignment, and sheer quantity of gears (six in all) created a clicking and grumbling noise audible even over engine and road noise. Furthermore, the tape deck would eject the tape on occasion after a few seconds of playing.
Fortunately, I had Plan B - take out all the gears and fool the tape deck on my own. Step 1 was easy - take out six tiny screws, dump out all the gears, and put it back together again. Step 2 was easy, too, on my 2003 PT Cruiser. Put in the tape, immediately reverse it, and then reverse it again to the proper play direction. I couldn't tell you why this works - it just does.
Once I had that worked out, the tape adapter was whisper silent (no moving parts). The audio noise was lower than previous tape adapters that I've used, and the gain was strong and consistent.
Overall, I'd rate this a good kit for tinkerers who own 2003 PT Cruisers (possibly other Mopar cars and years - but don't take my word for it).
Cheap look and feel [Posted on 2008-02-13]
The case is a "pleather" material, and the components inside are not the best quality. Pretty disappointed in this product -- was looking for a decent travel case for my iPod, and this wasn't it.
