- Pros mentioned:Ease of use, Sound quality
Solid
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works great if you use it correctly. It is a very simple and useful device. The hardest thing is finding a completely empty frequency but that will take about 1-5 mins. The bass and clarity is just like it's plugged directly into the stereo, yet it's 200 bucks cheaper than install at car toys. Get it if you need an aux cord! **Note iPhone 5 and 5S/C users: your iPhone is not supposed to be charged at 2.4 amps and this is a 2.4 amp charger! (Your battery could/will be damaged).

Great device
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use, just plug into car outlet and channel a static station. Could be more portable (no cords) but overall decent device for someone who doesn't have time to get radio switched or just want to keep everything original.
I would recommend this to a friend Do not purchase, find a different one online
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a similar product offered by Belkin about 4 years ago but it started becoming unreliable after a while. It was actually made for an iphone 4 (you know the 30 pin connector) and I have a iphone 6 (a lightning connector). Anyways, I wanted to replace my Belkin. After using this product listed for about 3 months, the sound quality is now terrible. There is some real distortion, noise, and static when I play music. It literally just happened one day out of the blue which sucks! I have tried disconnecting and connecting it again, turning on and off my car.......I don't know what's wrong with this thing. I am debating about taking it apart and trying to fix it myself or return it to best buy. Unfortunately I don't have a receipt or the original box so I don't think the warranty will be fulfilled.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price for the quality of product. Been in use on a daily basis and works great.
I would recommend this to a friendOkay but there are drawbacks
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are two major problems with this device: 1. It has trouble finding an open radio frequency 2. It does not work for phone calls - it only works for things like music & podcast playback

Best Transmitter ever used
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this transmitter right before a road trip. Must be really lucky because I picked the best transmitter I've ever used. Pricier than others, but functions like no other I've owned.
I would recommend this to a friend iPhone with FM Finally
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Now I can finally listen to my iPhone through my FM Radio and change channels easier to find an open FM station. While the sound isn't perfect, there is a little static, it is still about the best option available.
