2 out of 5 stars Eh....   October 31, 2008
If this is the only solution for listening to whatever it is you want in your car, go for it, but a better investment would be another car stereo with an auxillery port + cable. No static with that setup. I'm sure static is a problem with a lot of these transmitters but like I said, why bother with one of these when you get a much better solution like the afformentioned.


2 out of 5 stars Alright for the price.....I guess   October 30, 2008
I was a little surprised when I saw what these were going for online. I found mine at Walmart for [...]. I knew right from the jump it would not sound as good as the many others that sell for upwards of [...], and Boy was I right. The sound quality is less than par. I did mess around with location in the vehicle and that did help a little. I'm planing on adding a longer cord since the one it comes with is ridiculously short. I heard this will greatly increase performance as the cord doubles as the transmit antenna. All in all, if your looking for a cheap way to get sound into your CD player and have no input jack, this will work. Barely


2 out of 5 stars Works but sounds terrible   September 27, 2008
I have to agree with a better portion of the reviews on here.
It works but the sound is terrible - muffled & alot of background noise.
I gave it 2 stars because it does function but would have only given it 1 star for the sound quality alone.
Find something else.



1 out of 5 stars Inexpensive and the quality of the transmission reflects it   September 10, 2008
I bought this item due to the cost; it's very inexpensive. This was the first time I had purchased an FM transmitter so I didn't know what to expect. The reception is terrible and the sound quality extremely poor. I returned it the next day in part because the batteries died within an hour. I would suggest spending the extra money and getting better sound.


1 out of 5 stars not worthy   September 9, 2008
I bought this because it seemed a good price. The second the scratchy sound came through, I thought two things:
1- my fathers advice- it's better to buy the best thing once, than the cheapest thing twice
2- why would I have spent so much on my ipod and then so little on this?

just return it and get the best thing you can afford.
