Got this product as a gift. it worked wonderfully at first. then we started switching between ipods and poof! sorry no more transmits. cant figure out why, the batteries are fine, all the buttons work, even if plugged into car doesnt work.
I got the product from a friend who knows that our family takes a lot of long road trips. Hers was similar – not the same – and she loved it. We took it out of the box, and there were no instructions. Strike one. After fooling with it for a bit, we figured out how to get it to transmit. Never did figure out how to get the temp. gauge to go from Celcius to Fahrenheit…though why you’d need that on an mp3 transmitter I don’t know. Got it working – sounded great! We were on a road trip, and all three of us had brought our portables! YAY! And then, 1/4 of the way through our trip, it just suddenly died. It wasn’t the battery as we had it plugged into the charger. But we tried to get the battery section to work, too. Nothing. Strangely, it showed it was still transmitting, and the clock and temp. were still functioning, so it was getting power. Numerous tries over several days, to no avail. Spend the extra $[...] on one that you know won’t crap out in 1/2 hour.
I had hoped for the best, knowing the quality of these transmitters are questionable. I was right. This unit was terrible. I might as well listen to scratched records.
After reading about these transmitters, I made sure I purchased one I could program. I live in Los Angeles and some other reviewers had problems in large metropolitan areas. I can program 10 presets into this. I’ve programmed 2 and so far have only used one. I have a 2006 infiniti with a CD player and no line in. I have an aux power output for devices in the center armrest console. I’ve used this anticipating that the device “eats” batteries quickly. (Another common complaint with these units.) The reception is good and strong (maybe because my antenna is on the inside of the back windshield.)
Anyway no major problems. The only reason I don’t give this 5 stars is that it didn’t come with instructions how to program and although the sound is clean and consistent, it seems to lack the crystal clear highs I get when I use the cassette adapter in my other vehicle.
I purchased this device for my husband to use in his car, and he used it everyday with no issues at all, until I ‘borrowed’ it and now it remains in my vehicle. We have had no issues with it, at all.
The device is very simple to use, you plug it in to your MP3 player, then your cigarette lighter, and set the radio station to one that isn’t in use in your area, and the sound comes through beautifully.
