LCD FM transmitter car charger for iPod Touch 2nd Generation and iPod Nano 4th Generation

• Compatible for iPhone 3G
• Fm Transmitter
• Blue LED light
• LED Power indicator
• No battery needed

I got this transmitter to replace my old beklin which did not charge my i-pod nano 4th generation. It works very well. I had ordered an i-trip, which turned out to be a piece of junk, so I was kinda hesitant to by another cheepy one. But this far exceeded my expectations. It charges my i-pod and has a good reception, although I haven't traveled into a major city, like LA,where reception can be limited. But the sound quality is good.

This transmitter seems slightly less powerful than the one it replaced (only slightly). The one I had before was a little black bullet looking thing, it seemed to come in a little clearer.

However, I bought this one for two reasons other than transmitting:

Pros:

a. it charges my Nano 4th generation

b. it remembers the last channel it was on

Cons:

a. the cord is not very long (making it limited for routing wires for holders)

b. it seems to distort at higher volumes (tried different EQ settings)

c. it sticks out over either of my cup holders (making the cup holder hard to use) 05 Tacoma

d. volume only controllable by stereo (minor issue)

All in all it does what it claims, but I have yet to find the ultimate FM transmitter.

I will most likely replace it when I can find one that can charge my Nano, remember at least one channel, sound good at higher volumes, and have wires or a harness that are easily routable.

I bought this for my wife's 4th gen Nano, it works great, sound quality is better than any other fm transmitter Ive heard. Fits the power output neatly(unlike some that shuts off by the slightest touch), it remembers last station used, is discrete/low-key(looks like a cell car charger). Sound quality is probably as good as it gets from a compact fm transmitter/charger, does highs and lows very good, with only a barely noticeable static in the background if you max the volume. Only downside is the short cable, plus the lcd display can be tricky to view depending on where your DC power plug is, otherwise highly recommended.

Update 5/25: I previously rated this item with 4 stars, but on my long car drive up north, when I REALLY needed this device, it failed. It quit charging my iPod Touch so I had no music for the second day of driving. Torture. I will see about returning this unreliable shady piece of junk.

I got this for Christmas. It is really simple to use dial in the frequency you want. My wife's Monster setup I bought for her a few years back has 8 pre-set frequencies. She is having problems finding a clear frequency in our major metro area, so being able to choose your own frequency will be handy. Two big shortcomings: 1) it came in a baggie, with no instructions, no nothing. Totally unprofessional. Totally shady. Very not-Amazonian. It's like someone bought it off a roadside vendor in Shanghai and shipped it to me. No instructions, no warranty, no nothing. Also, 2) the form-factor makes it difficult to plug into the cigarette lighter plug. The wideness of the body was too close to the plug so I fought with it until I could turn it sideways to make it fit. I could definitely see for some cars that this won't work. The plug should be longer to accomodate all vehicles. So have a Plan B.

Other than those shortcomings, it works great. The plug cable is long enough so I can charge the iPod and put it in my dashboard cubby. It charges fine and plays music decently over my speakers.

As far as FM transmitters go, this one is the best I've had yet for the price. I spent on my firs one (a Griffin) only to have it crap out on me 6 months later. My second (another Griffin, but only ) similarly only lasted about six months. Only time will tell how long this one will last, but for the price, I'm a lot more willing to buy something only lasting 6 months.

I specifically bought this one because I hoped it would charge my 2nd generation iPod Touch, which it does.

As far as sound quality goes, it's not better than any other FM transmitter I've had, but it fulfills its purpose and I can hear my music with minimal static.
