Works Great
- Pros: I'm not sure what people are complaining about here, maybe they haven't figured out how to get it to tune to 87.9. Hold down the preset button for 15-20 seconds until "US" starts flashing in the upper right corner. When it starts to flash press the "+" button to change it to "INTL" for international mode. In this mode you'll be able to change the itrip to 87.9 and you should get a better signal than on any other station.
- Cons: None
Good FM Transmitter
- Pros: Good sound
Good bass
All around good sound quality.
- Cons: Little bit of static heard when listening to it loud. But that is a given with FM transmitters.
- Other Thoughts: Presets give you the best signal. I can't wait to use this more. $20 off and free shipping, Newegg cannot be beat.

Worth the money
- Pros: Backlit LCD is easy to read in the dark. Comes in clear in my '03 eclipse, which has been difficult for other FM transmitters. Long cord.
- Cons: No charging capability with 4th and 5th generation Nano. Still works, but will not charge.
- Other Thoughts: Overall this is a good product for the price, which has most likely been reduced due to its lack of compatibility to charge with newer Ipods. Point is, it comes in clear over FM. If you dont need to charge, buy it.
satisfied
- Pros: fine reception, charges the unit, easy to navigate through stations (though i haven't needed to), seems built well enough, put's the volume from my ipod at a constant
- Cons: yeah, there's static, but you knew that
- Other Thoughts: after my own experience with an FM transmitter and reading reviews of others, my expectations were about dirt for this, and i'm happy to say it exceeded them! have never needed to change the station (and my area is pretty radio-heavy. a little static does happen, but i'm not sure that's avoidable w/ any unit. best feature and an unexpected one is that i don't have to worry about the volume from my ipod. it doesn't set the volume on the unit per se, but if you toy with the volume on the ipod it doesn't change the volume out of your radio. might not sound like a great feature but believe me it is. one volume control > two volume controls
Didn't work well for me at all
- Pros: Was able to use it as a charger.
- Cons: I could not get good reception in at all with this unit. I tried in both of my cars. It just would not come in clearly
