This thing is completely useless. It is simply incapable of broadcasting a static-free signal to the cars radio antenna 2 feet away. How sad is that. Total garbage.
I live in a smaller city with 5 or 6 radio stations, and travel by car a lot. It constantly sounds like you have tuned a radio station on the fringe of it's range.... just background static all the time. If you turn the music up real, REAL loud, you won't hear the static as much if you're in the middle of nowhere, but if you want to listen to a podcast talk show anywhere, you can forget it.
They need to make this thing WAY more powerful so it can broadcast to the cars antenna. The "smart scan" feature has never worked. It actually does the opposite of what it's supposed to sometimes.
What's great about it: Nothing's "great" about this product.
What's not so great: Needs a longer cord so you can drape it out the window and wrap it around the car antenna.
