Customer Reviews

Great Product by Chandee L. Payne
I was pretty skeptical about purchasing this product at first. I examined many of the IPOD car kits and many of them had terrible reviews. This was the one that had the least complaints, was one of the cheapest…so therefore, I purchased it. I am completely satisfied with this product. It works wonderfully. The music from my IPOD sounds just as if I was playing a CD in my car. You just have to find a radio station that picks up well enough, which for me only took 2 tries. I think its an excellent product and would definitely recommend it to anyone searching for an IPOD car kit…take it from someone that did tons of research, read many reviews, and is price conscientious.

Excellent transmitter; works great with iPhone by Dean E. Nelson
This FM transmitter/charger (hereto referred to as “the unit”) is excellent. Prior to using this, I was using the iRiver AFT 100 Mobile FM Transmitter which is going for about $40 right now. This less expensive unit puts out a clearer signal than the iRiver transmitter did (when using the 87.9 FM frequency, at least), *and* it charges my iPhone at the same time.

Some reviewers on Amazon have stated that they’ve had issues with audio from the iPhone not carrying through. I am glad to report that I have had no such issue with my 16GB iPhone. I only hook up one cable - the standard iPhone connection port - and that takes care of charging my phone as well as transmitting my audio. Every time I connect the unit to my iPhone, I get a message asking if I’d like to put the iPhone into Airplane mode; so that I don’t lose the phone functionality, I hit “No” and it works fine from there with only the occasional cell phone/speaker noise.

I really like the adjustable nature of the holster. If a friend wanted to use their music player, the holster will easily conform horizontally to fit; and, with the included male-to-male headphone adapter, it should work with anything that has a 3.5″ jack.

Another advantage of the built-in holster is that it’s great being able to clearly see my iPhone at all times while it charges in the holster. That way, I can use the Maps application without either holding my iPhone or keeping it in the seat next to me.

My only reservation in giving this unit 5 stars is that the cigarette lighter adapter’s neck sticks out several inches, and it’s only adjustable at one point - right behind the holster. In the next version of the unit, they should also make the neck adjustable and twistable right at the point where the unit sticks out of the lighter adapter - that way, it could be angled upward more and be less out of the way for certain vehicular configurations (read the next paragraph for more about that).

Lastly, I’d like to mention my vehicle’s configuration with this unit. I own a Pontiac Vibe and the automatic gear shifter (which is in the center console, rather than attached to the steering wheel) rubs against the unit when the vehicle is in Park. If your cars gear shifter is close to your lighter adapter then make sure you have enough room before you purchase this. I doubt that this unit would work very well in a Vibe with a manual transmission - it would probably get in the way quite often.

Overall, this unit is a great buy - highly recommended. I bought mine from Wild About Digital here on Amazon and got a great price (and shipping was very fast as well).

Amazon your not very honest…….. by ToneTone80
In The Technical Details it says it will work with the iphone. I’m sad to say ‘No’ it does not work with the Iphone like it should. It does charge the Iphone. The remote will play,pause,skip,reverse and adjust the volume on your iphone but, you will NOT have sound coming through your car radio. It will just play the music through Iphone itself which I could have done without spending $27.99. It came with an adapter to hook up other mp3 players. Which would work with my iphone but Iphones require a recessed jack. So i will have buy an adapter like this

Headphone Adapter for Apple iPhone Recessed Jack, 3.5mm Male Female Extension Plug - Black

For a $1.23. I will use both the Iphone adapter and the stereo adapter on the unit so I can charge my iphone and listen to it through my car stereo as well.

I’ll let you know if it all works.

AWESOME PRODUCT! Strongly urge you to buy it + great customer service. by Q. Kaz
I never ever write reviews like the person before me, but this one I had to!

This product is fantastic. You can change the size and angle to best fit your desires, and your specific Ipod. The holder is great and allows you to easily read the Ipod screen. The sound is very clear, only sometimes do I hear static, and somehow I found that keeping my Ipod backlight “always on” makes the static go away, but may be that was just a defect with my unit. Also, You can set it just about ANY radio station. It is easy to switch stations - there are buttons on the top that allow you to easily change the station. When you pick a station the next time you power the unit on (when your car turns on it automatically turns on as it gets power from the car through the cigarrete lighter)it plays from that station. So you dont have to change stations each time it turns on.

A few minor things to consider. The remote is nice. However, it is not very convinient as you have to hold it quite close to the product. Not a good mix while driving, but may be that was also a defect with my unit. Another thing to note is that this is not wireless so it goes directly into your cigarette lighter which may cause it to be in an uncomfortable location (this allows it to charge at the same time). But even if its is in an awkward position you can turn it so it points in any direction you want. So really nothing big that you cant handle easily.

Lastly, the customer service is awesome. They are prompt, professional, and courteous. Very helpful!

So overall - I would strongly recommend this to anyone, and I already have.

P.S.- Though it may seem like it - I promise I dont work for this company!
