This worked great in the beginning but stopped after a month of use. I was very pleased with how well it worked and the ease of use. Needless to say, I am extremely displeased at how quickly it stopped working, especially after paying what I consider a lot of money for it.

Bought this item and wasn’t impressed. No matter what station it was on there was a constant fuzzy sound in the background. Also outputs more bass making it hard to hear everything. Good if you don’t have another option to listen to your phone through your radio. Probably better options out there.

I have burned through more than my fair share of transmitters, probably because I never shelled out buko bux. I did this time n no regrets, it tells u what to tune to. How could I argue with that . Great product

After using this product all I can say is that I love it. I would recommend this to anyone that likes to listen to music. The signal is clear there is no static I am amazed into how clear it is.

The JamKast was just OK as far as sound quality.. Can't beat it for ease of installation. Just plug it in to a 12V outlet and you're in business. I did get occasional FM interference. I ended up returning this unit and purchasing the iSimple Tranzit Link. That unit involves more effort as far as installation, but since it's modulator actually plugs into the antenna lead on the back of the radio, there is no FM interference. I use it with my iPhone (Pandora) and the sound quality is pretty awesome.

I had a transmitter 6+ years ago and figured the signal quality would be a lot better now days. Still the same If not worse. It does the job but I expected more for the price.

I'm really happy with this FM transmitter. Easy to use, just connect and your Iphone starts playing the last music you were listening. You don't need to use any application. The transmitter is powerful enough to be stronger than the signal coming from the radio stations in most of the places i have used.
I believe you have to be really close to the radio station and with a good line of sight to get the radio station signal stronger that the one from the device.

Love the simplicity of the transmitter; however, having it for about a month the connector broke which is extremely disappointing because it can't be returned at this point.

Made my iPod sound like I just put a tape into my Mark Levision stereo! And it doesn't let you choose the FM Station you want to tune it to. Took it back the next day.

This took all of 2 minutes to connect and use. It easily connects to my phone and keeps it charged while I'm using it. It was easy to find an available FM channel to use. I have had this for over a month and have had absolutely no problems.
