    I really like this FM transmitter. It has taken me 8 years to find one powerful enough to blast through interference and transmit a clear signal to my car's antenna. I commute 90 miles a day for work, and listening to the radio isn't always appealing. Neither is dragging around CD's. This unit works well with any audio player with an 1/8" output. I also like the fact that it has a built in USB port so I can charge my iPod or iPhone.

    The device installation was easy to read and setup. All the wires were easy to hide. I appreciate the visual knowing who is calling and feel safer having easy access to my phone

    Works great! It sets up 3 channels at startup. I haven't had to switch from the 1st channel yet. Clear signal with no noise. Plus it can also charge the phone at the same time!

    In all fairness, I live in So. Cal. and there is literally a radio station every other number on the frequency dial. None of the similar products that I tried was able to either. It may work just fine someplace with less signal saturation. No problem on the return to BB though. Ended up just buying a new BT compatible head unit for around $120. Glad I did, worth the extra $.

    Bought this for my daughters in college for their long drives home to listen to their own music playlists. They've told me it is the very best we've tried to date.

    Bought this product for my wife to use in her car due to her $10 broke. At first I was hesitant about buying this one due to I have bought cheap ones before and haven't worked that great but did the job and this one was 40 dollars but purchases the item and works great. Has a station finder for the best signal according to what area your in and the sound is great. Would recommend this item to someone that doesn't want to buy an expensive radio to listen to their music through their phone

    It works fine. Its not the best FM transmitter out there but it gets the job done. I like how it has an extra usb port to charge your phone as well.

    I bought this for my grandson. He got his first car and there was no audio input jack. With the Jamkast he can now listen to his ipod. Just plug it up, hit the button and it finds the best station.

    I have an older car, so a functional transmitter is essential for my everyday commute through traffic. The traffic isn't so bad as long as you are listening to great music. This transmitter allows me to listen to my music from my smartphone. It also has some static interference that you hear on some stations. I've purchased a number of transmitters in the past and there will always be some kind of interference. Once the music comes on you'll forget that there's static interference at all.. overall its good, it does what its supposed to do.

    It is a nice transmitter, I know it doesn't charge my phone, but that would be a nice feature. It was easy to setup and use which was nice.
