I use this with my mp3 player, and its great! I just hook it up to my mp3 player, tune my car radio to the frequency, and thats it! Easy setup! Heres info from the manufacturer's website:

Great Idea, too bad it doesn't work [Posted on 2005-11-03]
I have one of these for my Nomad Jukebox. It kind of works. There is a great deal of static/interference no matter what frequency I use. This makes the product pretty much unusable.

This thing does not work as they promise! [Posted on 2006-02-20]
I bought this device because I wanted to use my MP3 in the car and although the idea sounds quite interesting the truth is this thing doesn't work. I tried every single frequency but nothing; there is a huge static noise all the time. I think I wasted my money. If you are looking for a way to connect your MP3 to you car stereo try one of those cassette adapters, they are cheaper and more reliable than this thing. By the way, I tried this thing with four different MP3 devices and ion three different cars, and the result was always the same: static and noise.

Not so good... [Posted on 2006-02-25]
This product is not very good. I like the 2 built-in USB connections. However, the transmitter itself is not good, as far as my experience goes. Use Belkin Portable Music TuneCast II FM Transmitter (F8V3080) instead. It is the best in my experience (ASIN: B0001F22PA).
