Does everything right. But material a bit subpar and may not fit all cars
(4 out of 5) by S. Saraf on Dec 30, 2007 (Chicago, IL USA)I love this product overall. But can only give 4 stars because of some minor issues.
PROS:
- Instant FM transmission upon turning ON
- Very strong signal that sounds great but the highs (treble sounds) are bit dampened
- full function remote that lets you navigate the menus, fast-forward, rewind, skip, shuffle songs, etc.
- lets you charge cell phone or other device via the USB port
- Holds your iPod in place nicely
- Has ability to connect to audio sources other than iPod - although without remote functionality
CONS:
- May not fit outlets that are recessed - doesn't fit my wife's car - an extension arm would have taken care of it
- The plug is held together with a tiny screw and nut that can come lose easily. However, if you leave it plugged in all the time, you should be OK. You can remove your iPod from the unit while it's plugged in.
- The remote died after just a few weeks of use. I'm assuming the remote came with a bad battery. I will post my experiences (if notable) after replacing the battery.
BOTTOMLINE:
I have used a few other FM transmitters and this BY FAR has the best performance and features. The PROs greatly outweigh the CONs. I would say if it fits your car and you leave it plugged in all the time or are careful with the screw assembly, this is a must buy. Enjoy and keep your eyes on the road while driving.

excellent customer support
(5 out of 5) by John Ciardi on Nov 6, 2007 (NJ, USA)Had minor issues installing the unit. Contacted customer support. They sent out a replacement immediately, no questions asked. I also lost my remote control and they sent a replacement free. Great product and great customer support

Good solution!
(4 out of 5) by carvethebowl on Nov 29, 2007 (Hood River, OR)I was looking for a space saving way to store, charge, and use my iPod while driving and this product was the answer. If you want to see what songs are playing without buying an aftermarket interface and have your iPod securely attached to a charger, this works great. I have a aux jack next to the power supply so I haven't used the FM transmitter, but the sound quality is great using the jack. The only minus is the remote... the buttons should have raised individual bumps so you can identify them without looking down. Overall, a good product.
