I've waited on an iPod till there was something available without wires or earbuds to listen to my music. This iSkin Bluetooth Transmitter prompted me to get an iPod (80 gig Classic). I haven't been sold on docks or secondary remotes nor was I interested in sitting around with ear devices. I like to share my music and pipe it into my home stereo and also my car. This device works well but has a slight pause from time to time. But the best part is the ability to be anywhere within distance (30 feet) and use the iPod as the remote and enjoy whatever your in the mood to listen to. If it came with a USB plug-in adapter to power the Bluetooth receiver and a iPod 30 pin to analog RCA composite cable to hook to the stereo it would be 5 stars. These are items you'll have to run out and buy. Keep in mind if you want all the quality in sound you can get, you'll want this to channel from your iPod dock connector on the Bluetooth receiver and not the mini plug-in on it. So currently I have my Bluetooth receiver hooked up to a 30 pin dock cable with the RCAs on the other end hooked to the stereo. The USB cable is plugged into the plug-in adapter to power the Bluetooth receiver.Quick tip....
Set your volume up all the way on your iPod before you plug in the transmitter.
You loose the "volume" in your iPod settings once the transmitter is plugged in. You still can control the volume though. After that set the volume a little higher than usual on your stereo and then control how high or low you want your volume from your iPod when playing music.
The performance over all is good and like I've said I notice a pause from time to time. It also looks good like it is actually part of the iPod and not some bulky device attached to it.
Hope this informs those who are interested in this iSkin product.
This package includes the both TX(transmitter) and RX(Reciever). All cables are also included in the box.
First of all, their quality is amazing.It delivers sound exactly as if you connected a Monster HDA iPod cable to the iPod, but I repeat...it's wireless!
Second:If you got some good iPod woofers, like BOSE SoundDock System, this is just the best way to give them a very useful remote control, simply because you can change songs or do whatever you like with your iPod in a range of aprox. 12 meters (if there are walls within) and also that the RX has the female dock connector to attach it easily to your speakers.
Third: Here its where the cons. start to be written. The both TX and RX recieve energy through the iPod and iPod dock compatible speakers, but if you want to use them with another device (any with a headphone output) you'll have to plug them with a 5V adapter or connect them to the computer. The good thing about them, is that the TX has got input port and the RX an output port. (again, both headphone-like outputs) They would be perfect if they had some sort of rechargable battery inside.
Fourth:Have you ever seen other Bluetooth transmitter stations? They are very good, but very BIG too. The TX+RX are so small you can take them wherever you want to. They have also a nice design, that won't make your iPod look like a thing with a black extension.
Fifth: Do you just thought this was an audio device-exclusive product? Nope. You can also connect the TX to your PC or Mac with the mini-pin USB cable to send wirelessly all the sound delivered by the computer.
Sixth (and the only bad contra): This marvel is a bit pricey, don't you think?
However, it's worth the price, because on the iSkin Online Store costs more than here. You won't regret it after all. :-)
P.D.:Please, change the title name for the product! It was difficult for me to find it in Amazon. Put something like iPod Bluetooth transmitter or any other thing about the iPod. THANK YOU
Buy iSkin CERULEAN TX + RX - Bluetooth 2.0 Transmitter and Receiver Set for iPod Now
I've used only the receiver portion of this kit to provide a2dp input on my car. (2012 Audi A5 with MMI 3G -requires a modified AMI cable)The product works as advertised and provides excellent sound quality -much better than other bluetooth devices I've used. I was surprised by the package contents. It includes a number of USB adapter cables, etc. that I was not expecting to ship with the product.I wanted to stream music from my phone to 2012 Audi vehicle's stereo system. This product does connect will with the ipod connector but never recognizes as connected on MMI screen. Later learned that these products are not compatible with Audi 3rd generation MMI system. This works fine with 2nd generation MMI system though.
Have to blame Audi for this.

I see some comments saying it doesn't work with iPhone. Not only it does work, but you only need half the product, since the iPhone has a Bluetooth connect and can connect directly into the RX module. Some people should really read the F*Manual before commenting senselessly...Save 73% Off
