After reading some of the reviews here and other places, I was not sure if this was the way to go to get HD on my car radio. I already have an MP3 player, but sometimes I enjoy listening to the radio.
I plugged this into my radio and the sound was awesome compared to standard FM. Its easy to push the preset buttons and go to the next HD station.
The battery last 4-5 days using it around 60 minutes a day for my commute.
The only problem I have is reception as a drive away from Tampa, I lose the stations eventually but I think that is an inherent problem with all HD radios since the signal is not as strong as FM. The radio does drop down to FM when the station is simulcasting in HD and FM, and the quality is not bad.
Overall I think I made a great purchase and I really enjoy the sounds.
What's great about it: Works Great, Very Good Sound
