(More customer reviews)Took me a minute to figure out that I had to plug not only the Zune HD plug in but the headphone jack had to be plugged into the aux jack on the bottom of the transmitter (Doh!). After getting it going it sounded like FM radio quality the first time I used it. Now that I have used it for a few days most of the time it sounds like a good AM radio station.
I have found that if you unplug the Zune HD cable and just use the aux cable you will reduce the noise but of course you will not be charging the Zune HD. I did some tests like getting a longer mini stereo patch cable, that unlike the cable that comes with it, is shield and, moved the Zune HD around to see of the noise was caused by electromagnetic interference from my head unit or from the engine's electrical systems but there was no change leading me to believe that poor EMI shielding and or poor circuit design is to blame.
I checked to make sure the channel was clear and as far away from used channels as possible so I doubt much of the noise is coming from that. It would be nice to have more channels to chose from as people who live where most of the FM channels are used might not have luck on just the 88 MHz band that this device is limited to.
I had to turn the volume almost all the way up to hear the music. At first I did use maximum volume but found that it distorted some parts of the music mostly when the letter S was sung. So now I use about 85% volume and turn my radio up more than the normal volume I use.
Overall for 17.98 (6.99 + 10.99 S+H) it's ok. With a better circuit design and 3-5 dollars in parts it could be great.
