    Not enough stations to receive adequate reception.

    The radio station reception is very poor, also when the volume is turned up, there are loud bursts of static interference constantly being transmitted through the radio which makes it very difficult to hear and enjoy any music or audio recordings.

    Excellent product. I have tried three FM Transmitters previously. They were poor quality, and stopped working. This has exceeded my expectations.

    If you were in a major city area it worked fairly well. But noticed a fair bit of interference when got outside the metro area and in more rural areas it was pretty sketchy. Only used for one trip so may just need adjusting.

    This is great for cars without an aux cord extension, just plug into the cigar lighter of the vehicle and wa-la!! You got yourself a quick fix to play your music, without having to buy a new radio for the car

    I am a little disappointed in this item. If you don't have the cord high up like over the mirror it doesn't come in good.

    The first one I bought did not work so the exchange went well and it does what it says it does. Having an older truck with no mp3 player input this works well

    If you have an amazing antenna built into your car radio, this'll work great. Otherwise you'll get a lot of static. Then again, if you're buying this, you might as well buy a new car stereo.

    Not worth the money

    This rarely works just right. Most of the time, there is way too much static and I have to move the thing around just to get the static to go away. The fact that I had to pay 40 dollars for this makes me feel insulted. I can't give it only one star because every once in a while I have been able to enjoy it, but overall there is no way I could recommend this to anyone.

    It's been a very helpful device for my car. It's tough not having an AUX outlet so this has been a huge benefit.

    I could never pick up a good signal either automatically or manually. Seems I had to hold the phone in certain positions inside my vehicle to get any signal at all... then as the vehicle moved, the position changed. It's the same result I had gotten from other models costing half the price (paid $39.95 for these). Certainly not worth the money in my view, so I returned to the store... Store employees were friendly and efficient in the return process.

    Very frustrating. Hard to change stations and no matter the station you are in, it does not stop interference. I don't like it at all.
