 Tuning in can be confusing November 18, 2008
Pete & Jan
Having just purchased this gizmo I spent almost an hour trying to get it to tune to the radio in my car. It seemed to work but the radio wouldn't hold the signal and kept trying to find another station. Eventually got it to work by turning off the Traffic Report function. Now all seems fine. Would have helped if there was some mention of this in the rather simplistic instructions or at least something about it in the FAQ on the website.
One comment... it doesn't have it's own internal power supply so you can't use it in the home ( unless you have a spare car battery laying around)
Didn't fit my car cigarette lighter socket October 9, 2008

Bought this after my CD player died. Disappointingly didn't fit in my car cigarette lighter socket so I didn't get to try it out. (Ford Fiesta 2001 in case that helps anyone else who may otherwise make the same mistake).
The plastic casing seemed a bit fragile though. Guess that is to be expected for around 20.
 dreadful in London October 2, 2008

Worked fine out in the sticks (other than I mistakenly thought it would also charge my iPod - and since I only have one cigarette lighter hole in my car I have to choose between charging the iPod or using this), but when I got within the M25 it was all over the place. I kept changing frequency, but this was a pain in itself. A stronger signal is what is required here for central London unfortunately, making this model unworkable for me.

I spent a long time looking for an FM transmitter for my new ipod. My car has a tape deck and the tape adaptor was worn-out, so i advanced to the transmitter as i thought i was missing out.
you'll find a frequency quite easily with this transmitter, i have two tuned pre-sets at either end of the bandwidth which i never needed to change over a 250 mile trip. the reception is ok, but often a crackle can come through which you can not alleviate (much to my frustration). sound quality is decent, no more/no less than FM radio. One small negative is how quickly it will turn off without any sound input, or indeed with a low volume input from the ipod it tends to turn off as well!
if you have the tape deck, then you'd be better investing in a tape adaptor as you'll get less hassle with the same quality in sound and cheaper. if you don't, i would get one of these. Despite its eccentricities it is a good purchase.
Too much hiss August 5, 2008

Had high hopes for this transmitter but unfortunately let down. There is a high ammount of noise transmitted which results in a lot of hiss, very noticeable during quiet periods of songs. Tried every clear frequency between 88.1 and 107.9 and results do not improve. Thought it could be my player however even without a source hiss is massive. Another couple of gripes are you can only jump in 0.2 MHz steps (88.1, 88.3, ..) and that the frequency you have tuned into is hard to see on the display.
Shame that so much noise is transmitted as it deals with the music modulated alongside very well, dance, rock and pop all coming out crisp and free from distortion.
