I like being able to plug it in to any headphones jack. Otherwise, it is pretty much a cheap piece of junk. Changing the broadcast frequencies, is awkward. And it won't broadcast on the lowest few frequencies...and that is where I get the least interference. Also, the broadcast power isn't more than a cockroach on a treadmill. I get terrible reception. Of all the FM transmitters I've used in the past, this is the worst.

My uncle bought this for his old car and it works. The quality isn’t all that great but at least it’s cheap.

This item definitely works best in rural remote areas. It needs a frequency that is not broadcasting anything and in urban areas that is very hard to find. The point though of the product is to give you something to listen to when in remote areas. We were able to listen to Pandora and one of our favorite talk shows (using their app) through the use of the Universal FM Transmitter, my phone and our car radio. The tuner was a little difficult to use, but we worked through it and got more adept.

I was expecting a little bit more quality for a FM transmitter, but it sounds more like AM. I tried different frequencies but it is always the same.

Many new cars have eliminated the CD player (SAD). Here is one option. Easy to use.
Plug into output jack on CD; plug into power; read FM station it selects; tune car radio to that station; play your CD's.
Be careful that you plug all the way into you output jack on the CD player.
