Belkin FM Transmitter for iPod (White) Review

Belkin FM Transmitter for iPod (White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I absolutely love this transmitter. I originally used the iTrip from Griffin and was constantly having to change stations whenever I traveled just an hour away from my home. This item, however, has clarity and quickly takes over the FM station of your choice. The best stations to choose are ones with very little interference from another stations, but don't choose the stations with just a lot of static. The feature that allows you to save two particular stations that work the best for your car is extremely useful.

Cumbersome, slabby, placticky design. USB port secured under a pop-up panel that's hard to open without a pen or coin. Startlingly bad FM reception. Unable to access content on my jump drive; locked up when accessing content on my MP3 player, so that the off button didn't function and I needed to unplug the unit. Overpriced even had those features worked. I returned and went with the JVC EP-25, a less expensive, far superior product with approximately the same features.

DLO TransPod All-in-One Car Solution for iPod White Review

DLO TransPod All-in-One Car Solution for iPod White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is not my first attempt at finding an FM transmitter, but so far it's the best solution I've found.
My first try was with an iTrip and a Belkin car charger for my 4G iPod. I also needed a Belkin TuneDock to hold everything. Because the iTrip looked cool and was very portable I tended to overlook its very poor sound and frequent signal drift. The fact that you can not just tune the iTrip on the fly made this more and more of an issue. If you lost a station, you had to stop whatever was playing and go select another iTrip station by playing it on the iPod. Not convenient. Then the iTrip and charge both stopped working - so I started shopping.
Next, I tried a Soundfeeder. This has a manual tuning knob so at least I could tune around signal drift. But this was a hassle and it ran on AA batteries and the signal really degraded as the battery wore out. So, I went for the "All-in-one" solution...
The Transpod just works! I have had absolutely ZERO signal drift. This is on the same station and the same commute I did hundreds of times with the iTrip and Soundfeeder, and they faded or had dead spots a few times per trip. So, I am a big fan of the signal. The dock with its built in charging and tuning buttons is a very big plus. No used cupholders from the TuneDock and the adjustable arms allowed me to place the dock as out of the way as needed. I haven't had to tune to a new station (have I mentioned how great that is), but if I did, the buttons are right there. Now, I have had the iPod bump out of the dock and cause the sound in the left speakers to die before I pushed it back down, but I can live with that. Also, the adjustable arms are not exactly "sexy". It's a bit clunky, but I was after FUNCTION and I just wanted to stop having to adjust things while driving instead of listening. I don't have any issue with the quality of the material.
PROS: Signal strength; All-in-one transmitter, charger, holder minimizes hassle; ease of tuning; adjustable arm for positioning
CON: Not very attractive with all the arms snaking up your console. Not "ugly", just sort of "low-tech".
That CON was not enough for me to lower the 5-star ranking.

The TransPod installs in any type of vehicle, and its adjustable mounting arm lets you position the iPod anywhere across the dash for easy access and control.

After not being happy with the iPod covers and recently purchasing an iPhone, I was looking a good mount FM Transmitter that I could use to charge my ipod and be able to listed to my music through the stereo. This device ended up being the perfect buy as it matched my interior and also did what it said it did. It even came with a cool little wireless remote so I can change stations and such on the fly. (not that I needed too but it was cool)
Definitely a good buy and I will probably get a couple more for christmas gifts since most of my friends own ipods.

Griffin Navigate Inline Remote Controller and FM Radio for iPhone and iPod Review

Griffin Navigate Inline Remote Controller and FM Radio for iPhone and iPod
Average Reviews:

My first "Navigate" lasted about 6 months. Griffin was nice enough to replace it when I let them know it just ceased operating. They sent me another one which I'm about to toss after 4 months. This one refuses to hold an FM channel and keeps switching to the music on my iPod. When will they design an iPod with an AM/FM radio built in?

Click Here to see more reviews about: Griffin Navigate Inline Remote Controller and FM Radio for iPhone and iPod

Navigate maximizes convenient control of your iPod. It has control buttons your fingers can easily locate by touch, and it restores the tactile feedback of the iconic click wheel to touchscreen models. (Which comes in pretty handy when you're using it in a car and need to keep your eyes on the road.)About the size of a pack of matches, Navigate gives you a generous OLED information screen (for when you need to glance at it), on/off, play, volume and EQ controls, and an FM stereo radio. Tuck your iPod out of sight, but keep controls close at hand. Features stereo mini-jack for headphone connections with FM radio and volume control. iPhone users: Just plug Navigate into your dock connector, then connect your headset to the headphone jack of your iPhone to listen and talk.

Digital Lifestyle Outfitters TransDock Marine Dock for iPod (Black) Review

Digital Lifestyle Outfitters TransDock Marine Dock for iPod (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I didn't buy mine from Amazon. I got it from woot.com, where it was only 9.99. I'd read soe reviews that criticized the audio quality, but that didn't bother me. I use mine primarily for spoken-word recordings like audiobooks and podcasts, not classical music. And when it works, the audio quality has been adequate to my needs.
But my first unit failed just 58 days after I bought it. Philips sent me a new one. Today, seven months later, that one failed, too.
(The unit does have a fuse, but I checked, and it's intact.)
Mine has been treated quite gently--I almost never touched it at all, except to plug and unplug my iPod. This is supposed to be a "marine" model for use on a boat, but I just use it in my car.
I will say that Philips service was good--after I faxed them my receipt, they sent a new model without requiring me to return the old one.
But given that I've now had to fail in such a short period of time, I wish I'd spent more money and just bought a better model.
Tomorrow I'll call Philips, and (I hope) arrange for them to send me a new one. But I'll also start shopping for a different model that's not so fragile.

Griffin iTrip LCD Dock Connector for iPod (Black) Review

Griffin iTrip LCD Dock Connector for iPod (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this item because I use to have the older one that slots on top of the photo ipods (pre-video bottom slots). I loved it even though it broke and had to purchase a new one. Eventually my Ipod needed to be replaced so I purchased one of the video Ipods. Trusting Griffin iTrips I bought this despite bad feedback it already had. After having it now for a few months, I have hated it from day one. No matter what stations I try I always get static. I live about an hour away from Atlanta, so there really should be no reason for this. Ive tried every single radio station possible with no luck.The second thing that I hate about this iTrip is that there is no way to boost the signal level with the Ipods volume. You can only use your car volume to control it. This is because of some change with these newer ipods and only having the slot on the bottom for syncing and such. SO on top of getting static on all stations there is no way to boost the sound or level to try and "drown out" the static. My suggestion, find a way to plug directly into your system, the new iTrips are all horrible.

Use this tiny device to turn any radio into a conduit for your favorite music. Simply plug the iTrip into the docking port of a compatible iPod device and use the one-touch tuning to get connected. New SmartSound technology auto-adjusts signal strength for each frequency, ensuring the best possible quality. A brighter backlit display makes for easy operation, even at night.

iLuv I707WHT FM Transmitter with Integrated Car Adapter for iPod Review

iLuv I707WHT FM Transmitter with Integrated Car Adapter for iPod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Since my car does not have a cassette (or ipod/MP3 plug), a product such as this is the only way I can listen to the ipod on the go. I have tried similar products previously and was not pleased with the results (excessive static, cutting in and out). Regardless, and with skepticism, I decided to take a chance on the iLuv. Results follow.
PROS:
- KEY POINT: You MUST find the right frequency. Do not try to just guess, you will get poor results. Go to "radio-locator.com" to find the lowest-used frequency in your area. Once I did this the sound quality was great.
- I'm using mainly with a 2nd Gen Touch - perfect fit. Also works well with the new Nano.
- 2 presets on the module so you can have a backup frequency to use if needed (my primary frequency works well, but good to have a backup just in case)
- Charges the ipod well/fast
- Easy to adjust (tilt and swivel). This is key because you're limited to placing this wherever your outlet is located...in my case it's way too close to the stick.
CONS:
- A little sensitive to bumps in the road. I've had a few times where it cuts off if the road is a little rough. This seems to be more of an issue with the Touch vs. the Nano (since the Touch is more "top heavy" when seated in the iLuv).
- Would be great if it could "auto-find" the best frequency. If you're driving any distance this would be a big plus (once you're out of your home area, you'll likely have to search for new frequencies)
- A little light static between songs - although not noticable when the music is playing.
All in all, a very good product...works better than I expected, and the price was reasonable.
Notes: using this in a BMW330ci with manual transmission. Power outlet location not ideal as mentioned above - a little in the way of the climate control and power top controls, and when you shift into reverse - but you adapt! But this is an issue with the car, not the iLuv.

Kensington LiquidFM Transmitter for iPod Review

Kensington LiquidFM Transmitter for iPod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Kensington sent me one of these to replace a defective Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Car Charger for iPod I had bought for my wife. The digital display on the original unit was missing segments, making it unreadable. You can tune it by ear and it works fine. Since that model has been discontinued, Kensington told me to keep it and not send it back. That, believe it or not, was a blessing.
This is hardly an improvement over "everyone's favorite Digital FM transmitter". No matter how I dress the cable (straight, coiled, loose on the floor), the sound is marred by annoying background hiss on even the quietest FM frequencies. When the sun goes down, it only gets worse. The original white model performs much better, so even with the defective display, I'm using it instead of this one, and Cathy's using another with a good display.
Snap up the original model while you can. Kensington discontinued the wrong version and replaced it with something a lot worse.

After I realized that I was gonna have to go the route of the FM transmitter to play my ipod in my car, I did tons of research. I must say that this unit sounds really well, if you configure it right. The first thing you need to to is set your ipod EQ to "treble reducer" or "small speakers". (I have yet to figure out why the EQ affects the sound through the dock/line out, but the volume control doesn't) The high end sounds will break up and annoy the crap out of you if you dont! Then you have to have multiple stations to work with. I find myself switching presets once every couple of car rides depending on where I go in town. I live in Louisville, KY and there are plenty of free stations which work well. While you can scroll down to 87.9 by holding down the right two preset buttons and scrolling, I have found this to be useless where I live. Stations higher in the band are overridden much easier than this one for some reason. Also, as with all fm transmitters, there will be some sound of static hiss as you crank up the volume. I find that this scares lots of people, but it really isn't that bad in the end. Ingeniously, if you turn on the air in your car to the lowest setting, it seems to match the static well and canel it out:) All in all this is a great solution for those with CD player only car stereos. The ipod is charged as you drive and you save hundreds on getting an ipod compatible stereo installed or hardwiring a connection from the back of your car stereo, which you can't even do (that I have seen) with my 2001 honda civic.

When I first bought this clock, it worked perfectly. After two months, the display screen just died on me. Every single character that could possibly be viewed on my clock screen was there. I sent it back to the manufacturer with one day left on the warranty. It took a month and a half, but I got a new one at my own shipping expense. I noticed that the new one had a weird and very faint high pitched ring to it, even when the radio was off. Other than that, it was fine for the next five months. Then the screen died again. I would recommend not buying this product.

Griffin iFM vs. Apple Radio Remote
iFM Pros:
++ arrangement of buttons makes operation by touch a cinch
+ (cosmetic) available in black (only)
iFM Cons:
- Lowest volume setting is still a little too loud for certain circumstances/environments
- clip is somewhat flimsy
Radio Remote Pros:
++ iPod integration is great
+ volume can be adjusted in much finer detail compared to iFM (64 vs. 16 levels)
+ clip appears more sturdy and usable
+ includes a set of Apple earbuds which a shorter cord
Radio Remote Cons:
- arrangement of buttons makes operation by touch not as convenient as iFM
- (cosmetic) available in white (only)
Both seem about equal as far as FM radio performance is concerned.
While the Apple Radio Remote seems like the better of the two, I use the iFM (with the shorter Apple earbuds) when skiing because the button layout is much easier to use on the slopes while wearing gloves.

The Griffin Technology 9125-IFM30 iFM Radio, Remote and Recorder for iPod gives your iPod FM-radio tuning capability and a remote control functionality. Just flip a switch to choose between FM and remote control modes on this handy, slim device. The remote mode is great for workouts, biking, or hiking, giving you play, pause, fast forward, rewind, next song, previous song, and volume functions, along with a nifty equalization toggle to stabilize the sound of your tunes. If you'd like to listen to your iPod on the radio, the iFM's digital auto station scan with wraparound, and six station presets make it easy for you to find a station with minimal static. If you find yourself overseas, you'll enjoy the band-switch function, which enables alternation between US, European, and Japanese FM bands. But no matter where you are, the integrated white LCD backlit lets the iFM's quality shine through.

Average Reviews:

I saw this for sale at a local store, so I thought I would do some digging for information. Unfortunately, there is almost zero. It doesn't say it anywhere online or on the box, but this will indeed charge your iPhone 3G. It's possible that they did not want to pay for licensing. Since it will charge the 3G, it should charge all of the new non-firewire iPods (Nano 5G, etc).
It's nice and compact, but certainly sturdy. Once you take a leaf through the instruction manual, it's very easy to use. Not one of those things I recommend to start pushing buttons feet-first, because you'll probably be woken up at 2:30am by accident.
What else can I say about it? It charges my iPhone, plays pretty well (a 5.1 system this isn't), has an aux-in for a Zune, etc, has dual-alarms with 3-4 different options each. If you're looking for a cheap replacement for your firewire-charging alarm clock, this is a good choice.

There are some things I really like about this clock, and some things that really annoy me.
First the annoying things:
1) The *#&% scroll wheels. MESSAGE TO ALL MANUFACTURERS: Just because Apple has a scroll wheel doesn't mean you have to as well. They are not the be all and end all of UI devices. They work for the iPod because you hold it in your hand and you can navigate with your thumb. For an alarm clock this is not the case and (at least for me) they tend to be clunky and difficult to use. I would have gotten a clock without them, but I couldn't find one in my price range that also had good reviews.
2) The Backlight. I actually saw this issue in another review and bought the clock anyway. The problem is that the backlight is either on or it's off. Though there are ostensibly three dimmer modes, they do absolutely nothing that I can tell. When it's on, it's brighter than your desk lamp, and when it's off you can't see the screen in the dark. I keep it off, but then if I want to know what time it is in the middle of the night, I have to reach over to the clock and hit the dimmer switch.
3)The alarm volume is the same as the music volume. This is annoying if I want to listen to music as I go to sleep because when I'm trying to sleep I want the music quiet, but unless I somehow turn up the volume in my sleep, the alarm will be just as quiet in the morning. Pretty poor design, there.
Things I like:
1) There's a power button. I was really stoked when I saw this because my old iPod clock had absolutely no way to turn off the iPod/Radio/Aux Jack short of hitting the sleep button until the sleep timer hit zero.
2) With the volume up the alarm is loud. Really loud. I don't know if my neighbors appreciate that as much as I do, but at least it wakes me up in the morning. Most of the time.
3) There's a nap function. Enough said.
4) It does what it's supposed to and does it reasonably well. The sound is good, and I can hear it from across my apartment if I want to listen to podcasts while I do housework.
Overall, I'm happy with this iPod dock alarm clock. It works with a minimum of fuss, and for it's price it's a pretty good piece of equipment.
