better than any I've seen, still not perfected
(4 out of 5) by Nghia D. Tran on Oct 15, 2007The transmitter allows you to choose from many channels, which allows for at least one good choice. The volume on the player has to be maxed out, and then the volume on the car receiver has to be at least 50% to hear it good. You cannot skip many tracks at a time (only 1 at a time), which is very annoying since I have at least 250 songs on the device. The remote has to be aimed at the transmitter to work. The player does resume where you left off. It's not perfect, but I haven't seen anything better out there.

A toy
(1 out of 5) by D. Barrett on Sep 11, 2007 (Massachusetts, USA)This is a toy at best. It has no playback functions except "play", "next track", and "previous track": no shuffle/random or any other features. Also it doesn't work well, dropping the connection (to the FM radio) every few minutes and starting the track over from the beginning. Finally, the sound quality is inferior to CDs, not surprising since it's broadcasting over FM radio. A waste of money.

Great sound, excellent FM reception
(4 out of 5) by Javier Viquez Pineda on May 6, 2007 (Miami, Florida USA)It works as advertised!. Sounds great on my car stereo, I put a Kingston 2gb USB fully loaded of music.
Only I can't find a "shuffle" feature, it plays music in orderd manner. Still searching if exists this feature.

Outstanding, Ingenius Device!
(3 out of 5) by Ray Ben on Sep 29, 2009 (Seattle)OK, so the quality and craftsmanship is not the best you've ever seen and no, it's not exactly a Sony - but so what? For the cost of a fast food meal this gives you some outstanding flexibility in Car Audio. The very idea of being able to play MP3 files from an SD card (plugged into your cig lighter) is outrageously clever and it works.
I've used this with a few MP3 players and as an SD Card standalone player. The sound quality is limited mostly by your own pre-installed equipment, and in finding the best possible frequency to sync up on. I covered the cost on this by sacrificing a few visits to Starbucks during my first week of ownership.
This is not for people with a critical ear, and yes it is something of a novelty, as others have said; but it works as advertised and is indeed a very fun "toy". Though I'd love to see a reputable electronics giant's version of this, I'll tip my hat to whoever came up with the idea itself.

Exceptionally useful
(5 out of 5) by Ioana624 on Jul 10, 2009 (Memphis, TN, USA)Hi,
I bought this mp3-fm transmitter to use it in my old truck from 2004 that could play only CDs. I read some bad reviews about it, but I wanted to give it a try. I was so pleased with it! It's been more than 6 months since I've had it, using it daily at least 30 min while driving. I was not disappointed at all.
