Product does what it is supposedc to do - allows an IPhone to connect through FM radio in an older vehicle with an aux port. Some interference in highly concentrated areas but that was expected

Bought 7/18/2015 for my girlfriends birthday. Gave it to her 10 days later and we weren't able to even test the product until after the return policy. Not a single station it allows you to chose from comes in without a degree of static, ranging from hardly acceptable, to I want to throw this pile of.. out the window. Calling BestBuy and calmly explaining the situation, regardless of the receipt, circumstances, and every piece of packaging I was told there was nothing that could be done. Outside of my gripe with Bestbuys return policy on their own junk products it functions nicely as the most expensive iPhone car charger you can buy.

This is a great accessory for the long commuter. It's also easy to hook up through your car audio. Plus, Griffin quality stands up with the best.

I purchased this item due to not wanting to spend the money for a new cd player in my car. My car had a 5-disc player in it and stopped working. I decided on this from reading about the product and the reviews. My only issue is that since it charges while it plays which is good after about 45 mins. of play time the back of the phone is hot to the touch. I then unplug it as I don't want anything to happen to my IPhone5, otherwise it does what it says it will.

The one I bought was flawed. It wouldn't always go to the LX, DX, INTL or US Setting. It would just blast static. Sometimes, if I unplugged it and plugged it back in it would work. Other times it wouldn't. When it did work, after about 30 to 40 seconds you get another blast of static. I would unplug the phone and the static would usually go away, plug it back in and then it would play my music. So I had it replaced. The replacement has that same thing with the static when you first turn it on.

I was hoping that this would be great to use with my I phone-No such luck... It is grainy sounding- you cant keep it on a station. A total waste of money.

This one doesn't work with the ios on the 7th gen iPod Nano, but the company offers a 'universal' version of the same thing and it works great with that iPod.

Clarity needs improved, only works in one of the three outlets, have to switch channels often. Used in a work truck, but surely modern technology could produce something a little less MS Doss(y)

I loved the idea of transferring the signal by FM. The thing I didn't expect was how difficult it would be to find an open FM signal to use. As I was traveling the signals from stations changed and I would have to change. I tried this on a trip of about 50 miles from my house. I had to search for a new station about 8 times. Before purchasing this product, I would check to see how many FM frequencies that you can find that have no other stations on either side of it.

This transmitter works great. I am always able to find a station to transmit my music too. I recently took it on a 15 hour road trip and it worked perfectly.

It was difficult to find the station that it would pick up on and it would lose signal when driving and then it would be loud static.

Just need to have a better frecuency, it needs to change channels while driving or just can't hear it, all it needs is a dedicated station.
