I've noticed that depending on the car, the cassette player may make a lot of noise. There's also a cassette noise over the speakers as well. Volume is also tricky to adjust with this adapter. Just like someone else said, best bet is to turn your car volume down and the ipod volume up the loudest to withhold the cassette static noise, but you wont be able to get maximum volume if you like your music loud. I've also noticed that my car tries to switch sides on the tape while my iPod is playing. I'm not sure if it's the cassette adapters problem or my car, but since my car is only 3 years old, I'm assuming it's the adaptor. So that's a little annoying but...All in all, it's a good product for the money.
What's great about it: CHEAP and does it's job, less static
What's not so great: Cassette noise, wire, ITS A TAPE ADAPTER
There's nothing quite like the feeling of cruisin' down the road listening to great songs on your stereo. With this easy-to-use FM transmitter, you can enjoy your iPod songs through your car stereo. Turn it up and let the good times roll!

I thought this product was OK considering it broke after 3 months. There was a lot of static, but I just figured it couldn't get any better. Now I know there are more options out there for a FM trasmitter and not to just settle for the cheap one.
What's great about it: Ease of use, the screen was nice, device was small
What's not so great: Wires, broke after 3 months, staticky with a hum
