Podfreq Fm Transmitter [Posted on 2008-01-26]
THIS PRODUCT WORKS GREAT EXCELLENT BEST ONE I'VED USED LOCKS ON RIGHT AWAY NO FADING IN AND OUT.
If you're using an older Nano, PodFreq is great... highly recommended! [Posted on 2008-02-26]
Didn't have very high expectations, but the little guy has game. It broadcasts cleanly in our house from one end to the other and is received cleanly by an old Tivoli PAL radio.
It works great in our X3 and has acceptable fidelity, if not quite as good as a CD or a hardwired iPod would. Still, it's every bit as listenable as a strong FM station, no hiss or static. No issues.
Plus it's got both firewire and USB plugs for charging. Not sure if these work for updating from our iBook, but it's a well thought-out device.
It also allows frequency adjustments much finer than most of these kinds of gadgets. So it's easy to find an open spot on the dial. Having said that, we don't have much trouble, in our area anyway, with radio stations interfering while driving around.
It seems well made, fairly sturdy, and cradles/protects the iPod from top to bottom. It includes a carrying cloth pouch, car-lighter plug and cord for recharging, as well as a USB cord for connecting to a computer. There's even a clear-plastic mount for attaching to the dash of your car, if you're such a kind of person that would drill holes in your dash.
It seems that the Podfreq has a stronger signal than most of the competing FM adapters. I just rest it inside the storage bin in the center console... it's strong enough that even with the lid CLOSED the signal is received clearly! Out of sight is best!
I recommend this thing. It's definitely worth a try if you're using an older Nano. Remember, the new ones won't fit.
Not worth even $13.99 [Posted on 2008-06-11]
There is static no matter which frequency I switch it to. And I've tried every single open one on the spectrum, with the antenna fully extended. Save your money and put it towards a better product.
And don't leave the cigarette lighter plug in, even with the device disconnected, because it will drain your battery!
make sure your city has vacant frequencies, or it will suck [Posted on 2008-08-31]
I bought this and got terrible reception. It's nearly unusable on my commute to work. A word to the wise, check this site before buying ANY transmitter type device for your ipod:
http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/vacant
If it says no vacant frequencies, believe it.
On the positive side, if I lived in a city with fewer radio stations, this is a well designed, useful device.
Works great for 2nd Generation Apple Ipod [Posted on 2008-09-23]
This FM transmitter works very well with my 2nd generation Ipod. It gets 5 stars in that area but when I was trying to remove my Ipod one of the clips on the side broke off. It is a two part plastic unit. The ipod sits in the lower half and the top half snaps on over the ipod. Even though the clip that holds the top half on snapped off the transmitter still works fine and I use it all the time. You don't have to have the top half on for it to work. I love it.
