After reading all the reviews on this site I settled on this for my vehicle. I am very happy with it.

First it is very easy to use. Find an empty channel on your stereo and dial it in on the top of the holder. That's it! I've gotten a clear and strong signal each time. One time when I turned off my ipod there was a station on that channel yet the Advanced system had remained clear.

My only negative about it is that it doesn't shut off the ipod when you shut off the car. I end up removing the entire system when I leave the car or the ipod will keep running or have to turn off the ipod. In a way this is not a bad idea anyway. Hate to tempt someone who looks in the car and might see it.

I bought this product in advance of an upcoming road trip and have been quite pleased with it so far. The construction is sturdy and well made with the metal gooseneck, substantial padding in the cradle and secure adjustable base. The transmitter functions clearly and powerfully in both of my vehicles.

As one previous reviewer noted, there is no on/off switch on the unit which would be helpful vs. having to physically remove it from the outlet to power it down. And as a word of caution, depending on the location of your power source in your car, a smaller unit might be more practical - in one of my vehicles the shifter is in close proximity to the outlet and I have to be cautious not to bang it into my ipod when putting the car in park. This isn't really a problem with the unit itself as much as a design conflict but is something to keep in mind as you're considering which docking station might be right for you.

Overall I'm extremely satisfied with the unit however. I wanted something that would serve as a mounting dock, charging station and FM transmitter at a reasonable price and this unit ably fills the bill.

I bought this for my iPod Nano 4G. I read reviews for other products like this but this one had a the least negative reviews and a good price.

I live in a large metropolitan area and I found that the signal was strong on the default frequency. As has been stated in other reviews you won't get CD quality sound but nobody should expect more than radio quality sound from a radio transmitter. It is radio after all.

I recommend this transmitter to anyone looking for a reasonably priced transmitter for their iPod.

There are a bunch of these in the market and they dont work all that well. It is nice to have found one that has good sound reproduction

I also like the fact that when you use with the iphone you can talk handfree.. When the call comes in the music automatically lowers. You press the talk button on the phone and you hear the other party loud and clear through the car speakers

I now also have a home for the iphone, instead of it flying off the car seat. I lock it in the cradle and it stays put

I recomend this item

I purchased this FM transmitter mount to use with our 4th generation nano. We have a protector case for the nano so the clamps hold, but they rattle very loudly, even when tightened. The other issue we have is static. The FM signal is so weak that we get lots of static on pretty much every FM station that we've tried. Lastly, while the flex arm holds well, the mount itself only rotates on one axis where it attaches to the arm. Some type of ball mount would work better as you could adjust side to side angles easier. I expected a bit more for the price. We're using this in a 98' S-10 Chevy Blazer.
