Summary: To weak - went back to wired
Comment: This transmitter was way too weak to perform adequately in my car. If not held within 2-3" on the radio or by the back window embedded antenna, the radio would not pick it up. I have gone back to a wired tape deck adapter. This device was a waste of money.

Summary: Really Good 4 the Price
Comment: This unit was better than most but could be better if Belkin would offer about three more frequencies. This unit does seem to connect to the station that is selected pretty good, even if it is a strong or week broadcast already on that station. Having a fresh strong new set of batteries in the unit helps to get better performance. The "Tunecast" also has low interference with good strong batteries. The audio cord coming from "TuneCast" for your mp3, or CD could stand to be a little bit longer but overall this was a good unit for the price.

Summary: not worth the money
Comment: I picked up the item on a special deal, figured it was worth a try. I've had two major problems. First, you can only select between 4 frequencies. It just so happens that all 4 frequencies were somewhat 'occupied' in my area. Second, even when travelling where there frequencies are open, the transmission power of this thing is near zero. It would not work in the car, and even on my home stereo I pretty much had to have the antenna touching the transmitter to get a clear signal. I would recommend spending a little more money on a griffin model (I've had success with iTrip) or a higher quality belkin model (just guessing on this one). Good luck!

Summary: Buy something else.
Comment: Pros: It's cheap. I got 3 of them for about $10 dollars somewhere.

Cons: A waste of my $10 dollars. Sound quality is fuzzy at best, even when it's sitting less than 5 feet away from the radio. Lot's of static if you even nudge the transmitter. Frequently *goes dead silent*; I have 3 units and they're all identical in this respect.

I hate to say "you get what you pay for" because you don't even get that much with this thing.

It is, however, a great gift to give to someone you don't like or want to irritate for a few hours. It's dead simple to set up and use, so when it doesn't work they'll start pulling out hair trying to figure out why until they realize that the unit just doesn't work as you'd think.

Summary: Bad Product
Comment: Brand new batteries, I had to sit with in two feet of the antenna. Then is worked fine. At any distance other than two feet it did not work at all. The signals coming in on 88.5 were practically non existent. For the folks that get this to work " more power to them " but really, this does not work. I gave it one star because I am not out that much money. I don't see how companies can put out stuff like this. Don't buy product. Thank you.
