It works but it's not amazing. Tends to cut in and out while I'm driving around town. Just haven't found the perfect station for it yet. Will take a couple tries.

I really enjoy this product. I don't always get the best reception from it, so it doesn't work the greatest, but when there's good reception, it works nicely.

I was looking for a Belkin but coul dnot find one when I needed it. I bought this one. It works. The smart scan looks for an empty freq and then you set that on your radio. While traveling in the car you will have to redo the scan and find another empty channel and set it in your radio. That is how these units work. My complaint is that the freq readout window is discolored ( cloudy) and its very hard to read the freq to set your radio. This is especially trueon a sunny day. It workes and I was on a trip so I just kept it. I suggest to look for a Belkin if you can find one.

This product is exactly what I wanted. The sound quality is good but jumps around a lot. When your favorite part of a song comes on it gets really quiet.

I bought an FM transmitter from Griffin about 10 years ago and that was awful. I assumed that in the last decade they would improve on their technology but it is just as bad. It requires an absurd amount of fine tuning to work, and even then it is very sensitive and loses signal within a few minutes.

Sure it's easy to use and can be used with any device that has a headphone jack, but the sound quality could be better.

This device only really worked if I held it up in certain areas of the car, which I obviously can't do while driving. Not only did it not work for my vehicle, but it's relatively expensive, I returned it and used the money for a wired set up, that offers me better options (Bluetooth) and for a mere $15 more.

Its a product that does whats it's supposed to do. The tech is antiquated and the signal will never be as good as a the purchaser will want it to be. But for those who do not have a vehicle with an aux input this would be the only option to play your phone music to your car speakers.

The transmitter works as advertised, and has a feature that finds a possible open fm station (which works ok)... but if you are traveling be prepared to change this station every 30 minutes or so as new stations come into your range. if you have no other options (as my car has made an auxiliary input exorbitantly expensive) then this is a passable solution... otherwise I'd that's a pass

I purchased the iTrip Auto Mobile FM Transmitter when my CD player was in need of repair. I use it with an iPhone 5s and 5c. I live in a small town and it works fine on one station, 107.9. I noticed there are a few problems with reception when I drive to a large city, and sometimes have to flip through the stations to find one with good signal strength. Works as intended. I'd give it five stars if it was completely static free and I never had to change stations.

After trying many locations within the vehicle, the best reception I could get was by placing it on top of the rear view mirror, and even at that it produces a fuzzy, static-y audio output at best. I'm very disappointed with this product.

I purchased this to use in a 2004 vehicle. It enables me to listen to Sirius through my iPhone and and to music using iTunes. The only issue I had was finding FM stations that were empty to tune in the transmitter.

Bought this to use for my 2004 BMW 330i, but NO LUCK! I've used this particular item before, but the "works with most vehicles" thing doesn't include mine for some odd reason. No matter what station I chose it just did not work! No idea why. so radio is my choice of tune when I listen to music in the car. =(
