highly recommended

very good, especially for the cheapest

i bought this for my mother and have yet to see a problem with this item. given, i haven't been through anywhere larger than suburban with it or under clusters of powerlines, but i haven't had her mention anything.

What a find!

This is a great product! I just plug it into my adapter in the car, and voila! no more commercials. The station match-up works wonderfully, and it's great to listen to MY choice of music on my car stereo.

You'll Have To Try It For Yourself

Okay, so I'm not sure how much I can really add to what's already been said about this product.

The first thing I would say is to not judge your purchase of this product based on the reviews. (Kind of ironic since I'm writing a review of it! LOL)
The saying "Your Mileage May Vary" would totally apply here. I'm quite sure that as many different models of cars, factory stereo systems and aftermarket stereos that are out there, that's how many different opinions you are going to get on FM transmitters in general... and this one is no different.

I purchased this unit, simply because my particular model of vehicle would require a high cost to install an aftermarket stereo system with an MP3 player hookup (line-in), so I decided to go the cheaper route with this. You can't beat ~$40 to connect any kind of audio device to your stereo!
I'll also say that I own a Zune, so the iPod connections out there won't work with my particular model of MP3 player.

The first thing I did was remove my external antenna from my vehicle, as it's very easy to do on mine. It's simply unscrews from the connection to the car. Your car might not be as easy to remove its antenna, so keep that in mind.

I'm pleased with the unit for what it does: let's me play my music collection through my car stereo. That benefit far outweighs any of the negatives that I have with this unit. Without it, I would have to listen to the radio, or constantly burn CDs whenever I get in the mood for something that I haven't burned yet. Which is all the time!

Now I will go ahead and address the cons to this unit, but these cons would go for ANY FM transmitter, not just this one.
First, it's an FM transmitter, so I'm only getting FM quality sound. It's not CD quality by any means, so that is definitely a negative for an audiophile like me. I love my music, and I love it as best quality as I can get, so I don't particularly love the sound quality of the unit.
It also takes up my cigarette lighter connection, so if I want to use it to charge my Zune (or any other device, i.e. cell phone), I wouldn't be able to use it. I suppose they make cigarette lighter adapters that let you connect two devices at once, so I may look into that if I feel like I have to have it.

So those are my only complaints with the device. If you can get past those, then this is a great unit for you. Hope this helps!
