I got this for my husband. His truck is a 2004 - thus, no input ports for MP3 stuff. This solves the problem. It only gets scratchy sometimes. It saves me from listening to sketchy radio on long trips where you lose station coverage. I hope to use it for audio books, too.

Recieved this as a gift and was very impressed when I first starting using it. Like the fact that the battery can be recharged though for long extended use without access to a power source this would not be a great product. For my use in my office it is perfect. After about 2 months I started getting problems having it work with my iphone. Error meesages would pop up how it was not compatible. No way to fix after getting feedback from customer support. It still works but I cannot contrl the iphone or my ipod with the remote as it was designed.

The setup was fair but since I really wanted to listen to my songs through the car speakers I would have overlooked that. The poor connection to the iPhone and the weak signal to the radio frequency as I drove made it unpleasant so I unplugged and will return it to the store

When I think "FM transmitter", I'm reminded of the old days when CD changers didn't always have a direct connection to the stereo. I don't remember any of them having the signal interference problems that this thing has.
This transmitter has a free app for your smartphone that will use your current location to attempt to find the strongest signal for your to tune your transmitter, and can even do it for you. (You still have to change stations on your radio.) I'm not sure where they get their information, but I found it easier to just scan the dial for dead air and tune the transmitter accordingly. (Mostly because it kept telling me I was in a different city than I was actually in.)
As far as the quality I experienced while listening to music, I guess it would be about the same as trying to listen to the radio--static, random interference from other sources, etc. I've had seemingly dead-air stations that it just wouldn't play on, I've had stations randomly start playing music over top of mine, and a few other weird things, but most of the time it works as well as you'd expect something without a direct connection to work.
It's a decent choice if you don't have a way to connect directly to your factory system, but it left me wishing for more.

This item works just as it says it does... It broadcasts from your phone to your radio via an FM signal. If you don't have a direct USB plug into your car radio or BlueTooth, this is probably the best way to hear your phone, be it a podcast or Pandora or whatever. It is not a very strong broadcaster, but it's right next to your radio, so that isn't much of a problem. But a problem I do have is, because of the explosion of FM stations, it is very difficult to find an open frequency. And I guess this is my complaint: Why does this transmitter only go down to 88.1 when my radio goes into the 87 frequencies? And let me tell you, all of those 87 frequencies are pretty open. This would be a perfect 5/5 if you could tune into those lower frequencies. Don't look at this as a negative review, it still works great. I ust wish it were a little more flexible on the tuning.
