Summary: ITOUCH FM TRANSMITTER WITH REMOTE
Comment: THE Satechi FM TRANSMITTER FOR IPHONE OR ITOUCH. GREAT SOUND. STRONG SIGNAL. VERY LITTLE NOISE WHEN MUSIC IS OFF. EASY TO USE. REMOTE IS OK BUT NOT THE SELLING POINT. MAY HAVE TROUBLE ADJUSTING THE HOLDER IF YOUR POWER OUTLET IS IN CONFINED AREA. ALL IN ALL GREAT VALUE.
I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR APPLICATIONS WHERE THERE IS NO DIRECT INPUT FOR A MP3 PLAYER.

Summary: Great Item!
Comment: I have used other FM transmitters before and this one is the best one I've tried. It works great with my iPod classic and fits perfectly in my car. I have a Jetta and was afraid it wouldn't fit due to some of the other reviews but it fits just fine and the sound is wonderful. High recommended product.

Summary: Don't buy the 5 in 1.....
Comment: It's not a bad product (6 in 1). I used to unplug it from the car every time I was done using it, bad move. The plastic connector wasn't really engineered to withstand that much use, so I decided to replace the unit. I went with the cheaper model thinking that I didn't need all of the extras offered on the 6 in 1. What I came to find out is that the 5 in 1 doesn't have the ability to "fine-tune" AND it doesn't send as strong as a signal to the radio as the 6 in 1. The 5 in 1 was absolute rubbish. I live in a metropolitan area and there was almost NO time that I didn't have interference of some sort. Now, I'm back to the 6 in 1 (leaving it plugged in all the time, just turning it off). It's signal is much better (not perfect, but much better, and able to fine tune). Most of the time you don't even remember that your not listening to CD's. So yeah...it's good.

Summary: Nice unit but don't expect CD quality sound.
Comment: I just started using this unit 2 days ago. Though the plastic housing is a little cheap I like the overall design. The remote is a big plus! This is my first FM transmitter, so I'm not sure how it compares with other products. But to claim this product will produce CD quality sound is a stretch. It doesn't even come close. FM quality sound is the best you're going to get. I live in large metropolitan area so there is only one unused station, and there is still some static on that station. I spent the first day trying to tone down the treble and reduce the static. The single most beneficial thing I did was to turn off my iPod's equalizer. I tried all the different music settings first then finally just turned it off and that did the trick. I still get static but not nearly as much. If you like your music to have the best sound possible this is not the way to go. Get a stereo that has an auxiliary plug so you don't have to transmit through the radio.

Summary: Unusable in New York City
Comment: There are several things that I find wrong with this product:
1. This product is absolutely unusable in New York City; there are no clear stations that can be used for a significant period of time. When it does work, the music is unclear and full of static.
2. Also, while the music eventually plays, it constantly skips; I have to continuously press the button up and and down so the music will come back on.
2. The LCD is not clear, and quite frankly an absolute distraction when attempting to match the stations up and drive. I had to plug it in sideways, so that I could actually see what stations the LCD was on. Quite frankly, it still wasn't clear; the blue background is way too bright.
3. The adjuster doesn't keep the stand still for long. While trying to maneuver through the different stations, see what station the dial is on, and trying to get the music to stop skipping, the Ipod kept falling over!
Anyway, I am returning this product, and will perhaps try once again with another product.

Lightweight portable transmitter/charger for iPod/iPhone 3G users on the go. Simply plug it into your car's cigarette lighter, make sure your car radio and Fm Transmitter have matching frequencies, and connect it directly to your data/charging port on your iPod to charge.

Built-in USB port enables charging other mp3 players, cell phones, PDAs. Remote control allows you or your passengers to control iPod/iPhone 3G wirelessly.

For iPhone 3G users: Upon plugging the fm transmitter into select device dock connection, the device will ask to go into airplane mode. Do not choose airplane mode. Make sure to keep the iPhone in 3G network for the best sound quality.
