"I usually listen to music while driving, so I knew I'd want an FM transmitter for my new iPod. I read that the best results come from cassette tape adapters and direct connection (on newer cars).

"I use this with my 4th gen nano and it works great. It is very easy to use and no hassle to learn how to use. It is hard to find a clear signal but I do live in the city so I was expecting this. But the auto search makes it easy to switch between stations. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
