This FM transmitter actually works [Posted on 2008-08-23]
I own an iphone 3g and there aren't many companies out there that have a fm transmitter for the iphone 3g, only the first generation iphone. I tried the DLO TransDock knowing that it didn't support the iphone 3g, but I read some reviews abot it, saying that people had some luck with it. I didn't, the reception was horrible. So I took it back and tried the PDO.
It works really well in my car, I have a Mini Cooper. It works on more than one station. It is really clear, ALL the time. I drive at least 10 - 15 miles from where I live and I never have to change the station. It continues to play after you have restarted your car. No need to hit play again, unlike other fm transmitters I have owned.
If I had one gripe about it the arm could be a bit sturdier and they could do away with the little connection cord and make it a full "dock", but these weaknesses are sooooo small compared to actual performance of what it is suppose to do. Play your music through your car, and charge your iphone. It works really really well for me. LOVE IT! thanks PDO!
It's great, but it has some drawbacks [Posted on 2008-11-13]
I recently purchased and iphone 3G and was disappointed with the hands free and car audio options available. I purchased the Belkin TuneCast from the Apple store, and used it side by side with this PDO product on a trip from NY to Washington D.C. The Belkin was NO match for the PDO product in terms of clarity and reliability (and the Belkin costs twice as much!). There was NO static on the PDO product and I've used it daily since then with beautiful, clear sound. It holds my phone well, no bopping around. It is a tight fit with a case on, though. I have a silicone case on mine at all times.
It's not perfect. The small cable that attaches your phone to the product often needs to be jiggled so that sound is properly heard through all my car speakers. You also CANNOT charge the phone while you are listening to music. When the cable is plugged in to the phone on the bottom for charging, it stops transmitting music. Not the end of the world, but it would have been nice to have both since most FM transmitters do this simultaneously.
It also has periodically acted as a hands free device, and other times, it just doesn't work. I haven't figured out why. It could be possible that I have a slight defect in mine. Would love to hear if others have this same problem.
All in all, it's one of the better options out there for the 3G, in terms of sound quality and bang for your buck.
