    I bought this on the advice of the awesome wacky associate that recommended it. He said this is the only one that doesn't get returned regularly. He even gave me a good frequency for the city we're in. The things not feature packed; there's no microphone, it's not Bluetooth, but the one job that i bought it for, being able to play my music, it's spectacular. Little to no interference, and it automatically comes on with the car. Just push play on my old iPhone and boom. Who needs an aux when this is available?

    I didn't have an aux on my stock car radio and this device was exactly what I was looking for. A quick, inexpensive fix for our road trip. It has some static issues but if you adjust it or change the station, it works well.

    The digital transmitter works, but the sound is not good enough. I tried listening to music in my Toyota Siena. I have a jvl radio and the sound is not clear.

    I've purchased this a few times and it always works great at first. No static and works on different channels. However, after a few months, it ends up shorting out which is very frustrating.

    cord is super long so it works if you want to put it in the middle console or by the back seat. Finds 4 best signals on FM and transmits almost flawlessly even through bigger cities with a ton of stations (CHICAGO)

    At first I was very happy with this product. I loved the fact that it had a separate USB port to charge any device while listening to music, and the fact that it had an auto scan feature (a feature that was lacking in my old itrip that I've been using constantly for about 11 years until the cord finally gave). The sound quality was about as good as expected - I drive a car from 96 in a city that has no vacant channels and so some static over my music is the norm. The problem that I encountered and what will lead me to return this device and look for something else is the fact that it doesn't automatically turn on when my car does, and it doesn't stay at the last frequency that I was listening to. My work involves me driving around and stopping at various places, and to have to listen to the loud sound of static and whatever distorted sound of the station that was coming through when I turn on my car was irritating. I would then have to manually turn on the FM Transmitter and then scroll through to the third preset (the channel I found to work the best) every time I started my car back up. I would love this device if it only turned on automatically and if it stayed on the same channel that it turned off on.

    The device works as it should. The signal for any of these is weak, but this model seems to give a strong enough signal to produce little background noise. If you have a stock stereo, this will do the trick.

    Even though it is the strongest transmitter allowed for your car it cannot find a station that there is no static on and no matter how many ive tried and I have it as close to the radio as possible. It works... it comes through clear most times... but I think there are just too many fm waves fltying around for it to work properly... now an am transmitter? That would prob work better considering there are far less stations on am.

    Got this for my boyfriend who drives a 2006 bmw. We had purchased others from best buy including the more expensive ones and there was always static and the music wouldn't come through clearly. This one worked for his car so hopefully it will for yours too.
