  Amazing Product (in San Francisco, CA no less...) January 3, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been looking for a way to play my iPod music in my car for the past two years, ever since I first purchased my iPod. With no tape deck, the car adapter was not an option fo rme. I also was too cheap to purchase a completely new car audio system designed specifically for iPods or even one simply with a line-in plug, so I decided to try this gadget out for giggles, almost confident it wouldn't work. My optimism stemmed from the fact that I live part time in San Francisco, a city occupying one of the busiest airwaves in the nation. Nonetheless, I took the plunge, and prayed for the best.
I can't begin to elaborate about how pleased I am with this product. I use 93.7FM as the station to trasmit signals to, and it works like a charm. I have not had to tune it once since I've gotten the product, and most of all, the signal has been extremely clear - no interference whatsoever. Granted, the audio quality is not going to be as good, say as with a car adapter or with getting an entirely new audio system, but it does its job quite effectively, as I may add. It plays my iPod's music in my car, it charges my iPod at the same time, and I don't need to install any un-necessary products to make this product work.
Overall, I am extremely happy. Before getting the product, I'd check out which station provides the most static on the FM dial. That specific station will probably be the one you'd use for the transmitting. Then I'd tune the iCarPlay to the station, and presto, it should work in an instant. I highly recommend this product.

Got this as a gift. Not perfect but it does the job. In South Jersey I use 88.7fm. Sometimes I get a little static but overall it works. Sound is not bad at all. I'm happy with it.

I think this is an exceptional fm transmitter for ipods. For those looking for decent quality products, spend a bit more and get this product. This will work great on a daily use basis, if you travel within a city.
If you do a lot of interstate travel you may face problems with changing fm frequencies regularly. But understand that this problem is going to be present in all fm transmitters because of the way they are made to work.
It allows to set 3 freqencies that i can sqith between very easily. However, changing a preset frequency is not very easy and not recommeded while you are driving.
Overall great product, great clarity (i think better than normal fm radio if you happen to find a free band on ur fm)
  Works better than I expected. December 23, 2006 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Just hooked this up, and love it. The one station here that it won't actually overpower has the max allowed signal by the FCC and it nearly drowns out the chatter. Not sure about CA or NY, but this is a great item in the midwest. This is my 5th, and I would have saved a boatload by spending more the first time to get a transmitter that actually works....

I love my Ipod, I don't realize me driving with out my music, with this transmiter I use my Ipod in any car, when I travel I rent a car and I can use my Ipod everywhere I am.
You charge your Ipod while traveling, and when you are out of your car, it's charged, now you don't have to carry the Ipod charger with you.
The sound is good, is not the best quality, but this is becuase you are transmiting thru FM not in digital way, but its ok. If you want more fidelity you can chose an original conection to your car stereo.
A good option to have 3 progamable preset stations
