Stays on IPOD battery by M. Hrenak
The best thing I like about this product is that it stays on the IPOD battery power. I like depleting the juice all the way down and then recharging and I have had my IPOD for over 2 years and the battery plays at work contionously for over 9 hours. I use this transmitter when driving. The sound is definitely reduced compared to plugging into a tape deck or plugging directly into a on board port. Overall it is a good unit and worth getting especially when you drive multiple vehicles around town.

Exactly what I wanted by Eric Stearns
I ordered this product a few weeks ago and it works great. It’s powered by the iPod itself and produces a good signal for your car (or home) stereo to receive. It can be challenging (especially in a big metro area like Denver) to find an FM frequency without interference from broadcast stations. I found one, and it generally works well, although there is some minor interference from power lines.

It also works well for receiving FM in the gym I go to. I’ve had no issues listening to them.

My wife likes it enough that I just ordered a second one for her. It’s not a perfect product (hence 4-stars), but it’s very functional and comes at a great price.

Great for the car! by Bay Area Commuter
This is exactly what I needed to listen to my iPod in the car. It is easy to connect and doesn’t drain the battery. I need to turn my car radio speakers up very high, but that’s no problem. When I am on a high bridge, there is a little interference from other stations, but that’s no big deal, either. It is much safer than having ear phones in my ears while driving. The radio part is a little tougher to rate highly. The signal must be very strong to get a clear signal. It’s great to have both a transmitter and a radio in one device!

Great deal by J. Abrams
What a great value. So far its worked very satisfactorily and at about a quarter of the price of other broadcast IPOD accessories.
