191213 Stereo FM Transmitter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In the car I had to set this on my lap -- while driving -- to get any kind of reasonable signal out of it. Otherwise, placed anywhere else (even on the passenger's seat) -- it's all static, buzzes and clicks coming out of the radio. Either it's underpowered or it's just plain junk. It may work under ideal conditions, but in day-to-day driving it's unusable.

Maxell P-5A Digital FM Transmitter with Auto Power Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product was "dead on arrival". It would not transmit. It would charge the iPod, but that is all. I returned it and got a different product.

Play your iPod through your car's FM stereo while simultaneously chargingthe unit with this Maxell digital FM transmitter and power plug. The unit is easy to use:just plug the included cable into your iPod's 30-pin dock connector, insert the powerplug into your car's cigarette lighter adapter, and choose an empty (i.e., unused) FMfrequency on your radio dial. Once you set the transmitter to the same frequency, you'llhear your favorite iPod songs through your car's stereo speakers, all without hasslingwith cumbersome cables. Listeners are assured of a crisp sound thanks to the high- stability crystal oscillator and phase-locked loop control, which keep the transmitterlocked to the correct frequency. And it's easy to store several favorite FM frequencies inthe transmitter thanks to the 10 memory presets. Other details include a 60-second auto- off function that preserves your iPod's battery power when the power plug isn't used, apass-through jack that lets you connect other dock-connecting accessories, and aneasy-to-read display. The FM transmitter and power plug, which are compatible with theiPod 3G, iPod 4G, iPod photo, iPod video, iPod nano, and iPod mini, carries a 90-daywarranty against defects.

Maxell FMT-1 - FM transmitter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very simple FM transmitter that's pretty much feature free. The trade off is it's price is much lower than most other FM transmitter you find in the iPod section of most retail stores. In fact, I actually found this product in the portable CD player isle (remember those?) of Best Buy
Pros:
-Nice price for those that don't mind the lack of bells and whistles.
-Range is good enough that your car should pick up the signal from anywhere in the car.
-Auto-shut off feature when it's not transmitting a signal.
-Works for any mp3 player with a headphone jack.
-Has that that cool Maxell "guy in the chair" logo on the back (probably not a real big pro, I admit).Cons:
-Might be too bulky for some. I'll try to get pictures up later, but for you gum or tobacco chewers it's about the size of a Bubble Tape or Skoal's container (as round as a soda can and a little under an inch thick).
-Requires 3 AAA batteries, which will be more of a con the more you plan on using the device.
-The four frequencies are in the 88 MHz range (88.1 - 88.7), which will be a con if that part of the dial is busy in your area
-I have to crank my iPod to full volume and turn the radio volume up a little higher than normal to get a good sound (this can be compensated by using my iPod's EQ, which sacrifices some battery life).
Overall, if you're thinking about getting a FM transmitter, but not sure how much you'll actaully use it, this is a nice, cheap device to test the waters. If you think you're going to use your mp3 player exclusively while you're in your car, you'll probably want to invest in a higher grade device.
