"Even though I had seen both good and bad reviews for this product, I tried to remain optimistic. Unfortunately, it did measure up to my modest expectations. The problem seems to be with the required volume settings. With the iPod volume set at 90% and the car radio volume set at 70%, the audible sound level is only moderate (equal to a 35% volume setting for regular radio playback). Yet even at that volume, ..."

"I have a BMW Z3 that only has a factory CD installed. Other MP3 converters I've tried get overpowered by other FM stations in the area where I live so I was stuck with AM/FM and the lousy factory CD in the car.

"I have Belkin Tunecast II and this, but I like this better and use it everyday for past 11 months. The frequency set up is simple and easy. The sound is wonderful.

"Read a review in the paper that said it was good. I've had other transmitters that were much more expensive and poorly constructed. This one works exactly as advertised. Make sure the jacks are plugged all the way in, find a frequency with no local station, and you are in business. "
