Edge DiskGO FM Transmitter for iPod and Other Players Review

Edge DiskGO FM Transmitter for iPod and Other Players
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
July 2006. After testing the Jwin, Griffen 30BK, Edge DiskGO, and the Kensington Pico, and the MITO, the MITO wins hands down. The JWIN is not plug and play and presented quite a bit of static, the Griffin could not muster the volume, as was the case with the Kensington, and the Edge was just a P.O.S., with no stereo transmission, and a battery door that would not close. My test was specifically for transmission to a Panasonic Boom box, used while on vacation. In both N.J. and N.C., the MITO performed well, with little static, and plenty of volume for those late night jam sessions after the kids and wives were asleep. Go with the MITO, you won't be sorry.

I have the misfortune of owning one of these and I'd like to spare everyone else from making the same mistake I did.
The product works, but only for about 5 minutes before it starts skipping parts of the song it happens to be playing. If it weren't for the skipping, this would be a decent product.
The other problem is that there is absolutely no support from the manufacturer. All of the emails I have sent regarding the skipping have gone unanswered.
Don't bother buying this product. Donate the money to charity instead. At least it will be used for a good cause that way.

Wagan Twin USB and 12V DC Cup Holder Power Adapter Review

Wagan Twin USB and 12V DC Cup Holder Power Adapter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Wagan Twin USB/DC Cup Holder Adapter is a very good value. Considering that I paid the same price for a single USB car lighter adapter, this is a great value. It's conveniently shaped like a cup-holder, with the added benefits of 2 included DC adapters and 2 USB adapters. So far all 4 adapters work perfectly.
This adapter definitely sits lower in my cupholder than what I was expecting. It looks taller in the product picture, but expect it to be just above flush with your cup-holder. If your car has two different sized cupholders, one larger than the other, this unit is designed to fit in the smaller standard size. For me that is the cupholder further from the control panel and closer to my center arm-rest.
The unit has four LED indicator lights so you can judge how many devices can be charged with it. This "Battery Level Indicator" feature is a nice extra, with "HIGH," "MID," "12V" and "LOW" indicators.
The product package indicates this unit works with standard 12V and 24VDC accessories. Apparently there's a fuse inside the unit in the event you over-use it, though I haven't yet had the fuze go on me.
CONSIDERATIONS
There are a few shortcomings to the product, all of which I would consider minor. First of all, the lighter cable is relatively short. That's ok if you are plugging it into the DC outlet on your control panel. Many newer cars also have DC outlets within the arm-rest console storage area. I found that the cord was just barely long enough to reach down into my car's storage compartment and be plugged in. That means for some vehicles, like larger cars and SUVs, it might be too short. The deeper the storage compartment, the more likely you are to have trouble using that DC outlet to power this adapter.
The two DC adapters are very deep within the unit, almost too deep. For many DC powered car accessories with shorter plugs, it seems like it might be possible to push them in too far and lose electrical contact.
The other minor negative was that the USB adapters are not perfectly parallel. They are separated by metal but the USB pins are embedded in tabs made of some kind of composite material. You have to carefully insert USB cables because if you don't you risk damaging your connector or the adapter.
CONCLUSION
This is a good unit even if it isn't perfect. Considering the price and the fact that the product performs as advertised, I still recommend this over most others I have tried. It's worth it to have a few extra adapter plugs available to charge your accessories and electronics in your car.
Enjoy.

I received the item very quickly as promised, no worries there. used the device for 1 week and 1 of the 2 sides stopped working. I did receive an email from the seller after advising my situation, I was impressed by the fast response. this may or may not have been a factory defect. Bottom line, is the unit broke, for whatever reason.

Scosche Car FM Transmitter for iPod and MP3 Players Review

Scosche Car FM Transmitter for iPod and MP3 Players
Average Reviews:

This device is simple, elegant and just works. It's better than several others I've tried. Since the main unit plugs directly into 12 volt power in the car, there are no batteries to worry about. Even though it has only 4 FM frequencies, even in a busy metropolitan area (Denver) I can usually find a frequency on which it will work. The sound quality is good, not great. Having an auxiliary input jack on my car stereo would be the best solution, but since the car manufacturers are hopelessly behind the times, the is the next best thing.

Play your favorite MP3s, CDs, or iPod tunes through any vehicle FM radiowhile simultaneously powering the device with this Scosche combo FMtransmitter/charger. The FM transmitter offers four selectable channels: 88.1, 88.3, 88.5,and 88.7 MHz. To use the device, simply find an empty frequency on your FM dial-- meaning a frequency that gets no reception--that corresponds to one of the fourchannels, then tune the transmitter to the same channel. The music will then playthrough the selected station, negating the need for a cassette deck adapter, auxiliaryinput, or other wired music transfer device. The charger, meanwhile, plugs into yourcigarette lighter adapter to keep your music player fully juiced as you drive, so youwon't run out of music within the first few hours of your road trip.
Compatible with iPods, MP3 players, PDAs, cassette players, portable CD players,laptops, and any other device with a 3.5 mm headphone jack, the FM transmitter/chargeroffers an operating range of up to 30 feet (10 feet or less will minimize interference andprovide the strongest signal) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

Car Wireless Mp3 Player Fm Transmitter for Ipod Mp3 Mp4 Review

Car Wireless Mp3 Player Fm Transmitter for Ipod Mp3 Mp4
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It worked first time for me. Looks like some people have had trouble. It worked on the channel like it came set -- the lowest one (107.6?). If I wiggle the plug into the headphone jack, I get static -- so I stopped wiggling. I have a 1-ton, 4WD truck with a stiff suspension and I've yet to hit a bump that causes the static.
Sound is clear and good quality. The thing is only about 2.5" long so it fits anywhere. 12V adapter is great & no replacing batteries (2) AAA's. If you don't want the power cord, it unplugs from the transmitter.
It seems that a dozen sellers market this thing under different names. It's so much cheaper than the others that it's worth a try, even if you decide you'd rather pay more for high-end unit. The expensive ones probably use the same electronics in a bigger box. ;")

Griffin iTrip Universal FM Transmitter and Charger for MP3 Players Review

Griffin iTrip Universal FM Transmitter and Charger for MP3 Players
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this transmitter! When I first got it, I was disappointed that it seemed like you could not transmit in the best frequency of 87.9, but then I figured it out:
To change it to international mode (with the frequency 87.9 and so forth) all you have to do is hold the preset button for about 15 seconds, and the US will start flashing. Then you just hit the plus or minus to change to international mode, and voila! You now have the much coveted 87.9 frequency!
Since this transmitter will always be usable for any future mp3 player that I can imagine, (they are all going to have to have headphone jacks, right?) this means:
THIS IS THE LAST TRANSMITTER YOU WILL EVER HAVE TO BUY!
End of story. Get it. Now.

iTrip - it's not just for iPod anymore. We call this one "auto" because it gets its power from your vehicle's 12 Volt accessory outlet. And we call it "universal" because it works with any portable audio device that has a standard 1/8" headphone jack (including CDs, MP3s, cassettes, and yes, even iPod). Additionally, the "Plus" in this iTrip model is the ability to charge your player by means of a built-in USB port. Plug in your player's USB charge/sync cable, and you get to listen to your tunes while you're traveling, and arrive with a fully-charged player.
