As someone else already noted, there are better methods of listening to your MP3 player in your car, such as through the tape transmitter. For those of us who don't have it, though, this is a sufficiently apt substitute.

First, whoever said that there are 8 presets must be thinking of some other device. You only have 3 presets here, but you define them yourself from the whole FM range, an you can always deviate from them. Hence, this thing has an advantage over, say, the iTrip because you can easily surf between three stations if the one you're listening to now starts getting static.

Second, I find it powerful enough in most situations. I live in Boston, and drive around it often enough. Downtown, most stations will give you a small amount of interference, and that is probably the best you will get. Drive around the suburbs, though, and you can easily find around 3 stations that will play almost as well as your CD player in terms of quality.

The secret to this is to set your iPod volume somewhere around the middle to upper two-thirds of its capacity. If you set it to the maximum, all bass lines will be completely distorted. Set it to the middle, though, and you'll have rather crisp audio, although you will have to compensate for the lost volume by turning up the car radio. Hardly anything to complain about, though.

My two complaints with this device are these:

First, the marked price is far too high. You can find a much cheaper device on eBay, or even in the Amazon marketplace. I paid around $20 for it, plus delivery.

Second, some types of music sound distorted even at medium volumes on a lot of the stations. I have in mind the Waltz of the Snowflakes from the Nutcracker when I write this. Beside it, just about every song I played sounded clean, although sometimes a given station would encounter pockets of interference.

Given that a more powerful transmitter would probably end up messing up the radio reception of neighboring cars, I'm prone to think that this is an inherent problem to all FM transmitters. I think this is one of the better ones, though, because of its preset options, its ability to scan the whole FM range, the fact that it doesn't drain your iPod's battery, and the fact that you can manipulate your iPod volume on it for better performance. The iTrip can't do three of these. You will, of course, have to sit down in your car and look for usable stations manually, .2 by .2, but ultimately, and if you have no other option available, I think you will find this device to do a good job. Just do yourself a favor, and find a cheaper source.

Buy Monster iCarPlay Wireless Plus FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod Now

I have owned this iPod FM transmitter for about 11 months and have used it while driving thousands of miles through many FM radio markets. In urban areas this unit is not useable, because, despite the availability of the three FM presets, you can't find open FM frequencies in urban areas, and if you do, the unit's FM modulator is not strong enough to overcome adjacent channel interference from city FM radio powerhouses, and typical poor car stereo FM tuner performance (selectivity).

If you live in the country this unit's FM performance is just fine, unless of course you regularly travel to a nearby urban area.

Also, my unit "overdeviates"--the iPpod audio is distorted on loud passages when hooked up to my Dodge Durango with the factory stereo installed. When the FM transmitter is hooked to my Subaru's top-of-the-line McIntosh stereo, the audio is good.

I believe this product is overpriced, and should be sold with a caveat: Not useable in and around major cities.

It's only three stars now, because the Monster iCarPlay 200 wireless is a much better solution. It finds stations you could not find with the iCarPlay Plus, which I stopped using because it was just more hassle than fun to use driving in Los Angeles. Below is my original review of the iCarPlay Plus, before the "200" model came out:

*******

I have used the Griffin and Belkin FM transmitters, and the Monster is the only one that is useful for me driving around Los Angeles, where almost all of the available FM stations are in use. The Monster has a lot less static and locks onto the station a lot better than the other two. It is good to have the three pre-sets on teh Monster ... that are easy to set. I need the three pre-sets bacause as you drive, one station gets noisy (as you get closer to the transmitter of the real owner of that frequency) and you need to change to another. It is a hassle to change the station on the radio and also change the station on the Monster, but that is life with an FM transmitter. It is definitely an imperfect solution. (If you have a cassette tape player in your car, use the Sony cassette adapter instead. I never tried the Monster cassette adapter.) For people who drive shorter distances or who don't have as many FM station broadcasting nearby, the other brands might be ok.

I absolutely LOVE my monster I have used it for my iPod Classic and my 1st gen iPhone. Works great! Charges and plays like its say but... DOES NOT WORK on new apple products.. I've tried the new nano, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S... do not buy this if you have one of the newer products. It will still play through your stereo but it WILL NOT charge. Hope this was helpful!

I did a lot of online research before buying this transmitter. I had low expectations since it seemed like most of them have mediocre quality and problems of one kind or another especially in metro areas. I decided on this one since this best met the criteria I had set for the purchase:

1. Good Reviews

2. Price at $50

3. Easily protable from one car to another

4. Wanted the passenger to be able to control it in addition to the driver.

This product more than exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is awesome. I have never had any difficulty finding at least one station where there is no interference. Also, the protability and passenger use has really come in handy. It is great to let the passenger control the tunes.

I would highly recommend this product if your needs are similar to mine.

Delphi SA10109 Delphi XM Roady2 Personal Audio System

If you already have a Roady2 , and you're looking for a portable solution, you will like this product. It does everything it says it does. It is very heavy, though, and I wouldn't recommend it for jogging. I use it at my gym when I'm on the treadmill, and for this purpose it works well. If you haven't purchased a Roady2, you might as well get the Myfi. It's a lot more expensive but when you add up the cost of the Roady2 and the Delphi Personal Audio System, you'll end up spending the same amount of money. Overall, it's good but not great.

Just a quick warning, this thing is heavy. The battery pack is a lot of weight. Go to the store and pick it up in your hands to feel for sure. For the price of this and the Roady2, you might as well get the portable unit to begin with.

Great Signal (better than a MyFi XM2Go ) because the XM antenna is on the top of the headphones . Even in the woods fair Signal some cutouts. But poor Case design VERY hard to get out of The dock to use in your car.

Pros. Great signal (with NO repeaters)

FM Radio As a backup (but unless your underground

You'll have good signal)

Cons. VERY BAD CASE DESIGN feels cheep , very hard to remove

This system has several things wrong with it. For starters is the price, way to high for such a low quality product. The Roady's signal is constintly being lost, even when staying almost completly still. For a product made for people on the move, this product simply doesn't work. On top of the bad reception,the system is frail. Mine broke the first day, while trying to remove the Roady from it.

also, while the roady is plugged into it, you can not use the Roadies FM transmitter, to play your music where you take it.

I do not recomend this product for anyone, unless you thibnk you can get a good deal on it. I thought I was at the time, but wasted my money, perhaps I can save someone else's money.

Want Delphi SA10109 Delphi XM Roady2 Personal Audio System Discount?

First off, I am going to be a little more forgiving of this item because I was able to purchase it for $39.00 on closeout.

For the price I paid this unit is outstanding. I have not ran into the problems of getting the Roady in and out that others have experienced. It seems to be a fairly easy process of pressing in on two latches and pulling the case apart. I was very concerned after reading the reviews here that this would be an issue. But I have been able to get the Roady out each and ever time in a few seconds. The Roady does fit snuggly inside the case but I would rather have this than the Roady falling out in my hand.

The case could be made of a little more sturdy plastic, but this would also add to the weight. The case and Roady together weigh about as much a portable CD player. Most of the weight can be attributed to the battery.

As far as reception goes I have been able to get a strong signal short of standing in a six foot hole. I purchased the portable player because I have several hundred acres of land to attend to, and it helps me keep my sanity. I have not ran into an area where the signal drops out on me as of this time.

The headset is not exactly top of the line....but what are you to do? You can't exactly buy a set of Bose headphones and tear the antenna out of included set. So....your stuck for the moment with what comes with in the package.

For the price I paid I can't complain other than the headset. I personaly have not ran into the problems of getting the Roady out of the case to put in my car. The reception is great I can get a signal when my friend with a XM2Go can't.

Its a nice setup but not for $120.00 or so dollars...if it can be found for under 50.00 get it.....you wont regret it.

Keyless Entry Remote Fob Clicker for 2001 Subaru Impreza With Do-It-Yourself Programming

I was skeptical that we would be able to program this to function in my daughter's 2001 Subaru Forester, but it worked just fine. My daughter is delighted. Quick shipping; good condition. Would definitely recommend.

First of all this remote does not work on the 2001 Impreza as stated in the title. In the included instructions it states that it works with all Alpine equiped Subarus which are the Legacy 2001-04, Forester 2001-04, and Impreza 2002-04. The 2001 Impreza uses a differant system.

Second and mostly what I gave this rating on is the condition in relation to the price, the one I got from "KEYLESS4U" (AVOID AVOID AVOID THIS SELLER!!!), was described as USED-Very Good. It is actually VERY WORNbut in WORKING CONDITION, the lettering was worn off on one of the buttons, I dont see how this can be USED-VERY GOOD.

And finally the SELLER, I dont anyone to think I am rating this product bad because of the seller KEYLESS4U (Goes by BRADY), but while you are here I might as well warn you to AVOID this guy. I have been on Amazon for a long time and have bought lots of products and have had to replace or return a couple of them. I have never had such a frustrating experience as I have with KEYLESS4U and Brady (the guy selling these junk yard key FOBs). I contacted him through email about being sent the wrong remote and asked for a shipping lable and a refund. His response was "take pictures of your remote, send your VIN# and blah blah blah so I can do some research". Really? Do "research on your own time, not the customers! In short I responded with a no just fullfill my request through email, and the next thing Im getting phone calls from this guy Brady (which made me uncomfortable, I dont like online sellers calling me unless I call them first). Nonetheless I explaind about the remote and he stated when he "got back to the office" the next he would research it and send me a shipping label. Today (the next day after the phone conversation) I get a txt message that he post snail mailed me a prepaid envelope, and when I get it in the mail I mail it back to him, and then he will give me a refund. All this trouble for a crappy 20 something $$ remote that doesnt even work with my car.

So if you have one of the cars I listed above, get the remote but not from KEYLESS4U.

Schrader 28214 TPMS Sensor fits Mercedes (1-pack)

I had broken the OEM TPMS sensor on my 2008 Smart Fortwo. My local tire store couldn't come up with a replacement on their system. I purchased this one from Amazon and it was a direct fit. You do have to drive the car for 10 minutes or so before the system finds the new sensor. Many people will want to buy these sensors to go into new rims for winter tires or flashier wheels.

These fit my car perfectly. The guy from Mercedes Benz said they were the exact same ones that they use. They were more than half of what I would have paid for them from the car dealer.

Pyle PMP3G2 Mobile SD/USB/AUX/MP3 Compatible Player with Built-In FM Transmitter -Green

• LCD Display Screen - Fully Adjustable Arm for Multi Angle Viewing
• Built-In wireless FM Transmitter with 206 Channel - Wireless Full Function Remote Control
• Frequency Capable (87.5-108MHz) - DC 12Volt Compatible
• USB/SD Card Compatible - Green color Cigarette Lighter
• 3.5 AUX Input Adaptor

For a basic device, this is a great unit. Even in the city you're going to get a good station and decent reception. It's not going to charge your iPod or other MP3 player, but if you want to load your music or audiobooks on a USB flash drive or SD card, this is going to work great for you.

Pros: FM frequencies all up and down the dial (VERY important if you live in the city); works off cigarette lighter (nothing to keep charged); works with SD card, USB flash drive, or input from portable player (one of these options will work for you); will start on the track you last left off with; allows folders for making playlists.

Cons: Line of sight for remote operations (in other words, this thing is going to stick out somewhere in your car); no fast forward and rewind (if you're listening to an audiobook, better make sure you're at the end of a chapter before you stop or turn off power); SD card or flash drive sticks out.

If you're looking for a unit to work with an older car stereo or even a newer one without a direct input for your digital music player, this is great. And because it will play your flash drive or SD card, there's no need to make a bunch of MP3 CDs and store them in your car. Place your files in folders to make a pseudo-playlist, and you're good to go. Even works with the adapters for a microSD card. This was a great purchase to put days' worth of music in my car without needing an elaborate setup, a dozen CDs, or something that needs constant charging.

Only thing was that my unit is NOT green, but red. Doesn't really matter, since I prefer the red, but I thought green would have been a cool color too.

****May 2011 Addition****

I've now had this unit for just shy of 2 months and the display has completely stopped working. I cannot see ANYTHING on it. Since I have all my songs in folders (pseudo-playlists), it's not a real problem, but if I had to tune this thing again I'd be in real trouble. If you keep this in your car (as I do), I highly recommend storing it in your glove compartment or somewhere else to keep it out of sunlight when not in use. And park your car in the shade!

Buy Pyle PMP3G2 Mobile SD/USB/AUX/MP3 Compatible Player with Built-In FM Transmitter -Green Now

This player is pretty amazing. It plays most any mp3 files I feed it. However you have to keep trying until you get a good one. I wanted 2 and went through 4 to get them. One display was barely discernible in total darkness. Actually all four displays were different. Two were adequate but you can't read any of them in sunlight. I have an old USB player that sounds like $&1+ so I plugged it in direct. Bingo, the Pyle played it's files fine. Well 2 of the Pyles did, 2 didn't. That's not a deal breaker but weird.

It broadcasts in .1 MHz steps, 87.5 108.0, which is good. One car radio matches up while the other one tunes better .1 off. Your results may vary. When you get close to a radio broadcast tower changing freqs is a button push away.

The sound is very good at 14 out of max 16 on the volume (as long as you have good files). The signal to noise ratio over FM is fairly low but not noticeable at reasonable volumes with a gas engine. If you crank it you will hear some FM noise at stop lights between tracks, etc. In a car where the 12V socket powers off with the ignition, it starts up playing the last song from it's beginning. With full time power I just hit the pause button (no noticeable power drain for days.) When I restart the car it starts up the same as above (from the power surge?)

As far as play, there are only four modes: single, folder, all and random. I can't figure them out. If you have multiple folders it doesn't seem possible to play only one of them in random mode. When you try it will grab tracks out of another folder. When you want to play all folders random it will hang up in one folder until you goose it. Whatever you want, it ain't gonna give you. So I just put one folder per card or stick and then I can choose either "in order" or random. If I want to change "folders" I just change the memory. This is actually doable driving while changing folders isn't practical since you can't see what you're doing. As I can put 25 to 62 hours of audio on a $6 (4Gb) stick in 2010, that's the only way to go for me.

A bonus is that you don't have to "register" the files with the player like a Latte or a Blackberry. Just plug and play.

You only need the remote to change folders or EQ, both unnecessary to me.

You can plug your iPod headphone jack to it if you like. Using the resulting 3 amplifying stages (at least 2 of them being cheap) on your audio seem nuts to me.

BTW, both red ones were bad. I kept a green and a blue one.

It was great first 2-3 months, nice & clear, loud enough, etc... The 1st thing to go was the last station memory, no big deal, but then the USB & SD inputs stopped outputting anything shortly after, though it appeared to play very faintly from the media the line-in worked for another month or so b4 it crapped out... The screen still lights up but w/ no display info kinda sucked at the 4-5mo level...

Now, Less than a month since then it won't lock a station (not that I can see or hear like it useta do) for about 6mos of use for less than $20... I'm guessing they used some cheap parts & tiny wires that either caused 2 much resistance or melted internal parts possibly the sun?

I'm not sure it's even charging my phone much on the USB, takes longer than the wall charger that is, but it is better'n using it 4 nothin' since no more sound!

I'd say 2 stars cuz it would be great if it still worked, but I went w/ the cheapest one for $6 (incl S/H) last week & it is simple but works just as good or better than this one... Not as nice looking tho!

I just received this on Oct. 1 and used it for a trip over the weekend. I plugged a 2Gb flash drive to it and it played all of my files. It produces a very clean sound once it is tuned to a usable FM frequency, just don't turn up the volume (gain) up too high or you will hear considerable distortion.. The remote isn't all that powerful, but as long as you're in the front seat all is good. Overall, a good product for people that do not have MP3/Ipod connectivity in their car. At this price, they will make good stocking stuffers for the holidays.

Optima Batteries 8073-167 D51R YellowTop Dual Purpose Battery

My D51R went bad after a month. Optima says take it back to whom you purchased it from. I said Amazon, they said "oh no." Optima will not honor the 36 Month Warranty and Amazon said I'm stuck because I can't ship it back -it's hazardous material and it's beyond the 30 day return policy. "We are real sorry, but there's nothing we can do." So if you are going to buy a battery from Amazon you will be stuck without any remedy. Join the suckers club with me.

I also have a Honda (a Civic), and this battery died after 15 months !

I also bought it through Amazon, and the warranty's no good.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BATTERY ! There's a lot better & cheaper, too.

Installed this battery ("R" means reverse polarity) in my 1992 Miata this morning and it fit well. It's maybe an inch taller than the Westco battery or OEM Panasonic battery, so I had to extend the threaded rod that holds the top bracket, but otherwise it went in easily and the polarity was correct. The car fired right up, so I'm happy so far. I'll post again if I have any problems.

I bought this battery for my 2006 Acura TSX in July 2010 based on the rave reviews. It lasted 1 year and 10 months and that "wonderful" three month warranty is useless when purchased from Amazon (not Amazon's fault, but Optima's as they make you deal with the seller for replacement and you can't ship a battery back to them). When I took the battery in to Autozone to have it tested they said they see more dead Optima batteries than any other brand. They actually had two dead ones sitting behind the counter. I now have a new Duralast from them with 36 month free replacement warranty that I can actually use (walk in with the battery, walk out with the new one), an 8 year limited warranty, AND it was CHEAPER! Long story short, save your money and stay away from this "premium" battery. You aren't getting what you pay for.

The description of this battery stated that it was made to fit Honda Civics specifically, which is the application that I wanted it for. The only problem is that the top is contoured in such a way that the top mounting bracket does not fit properly and a shim must be made so that the clamp will clamp and not slide back and forth and side to side.

I chose this battery over the Odyssey which had better cca for pole orientation. Optima kept the terminals on top so that my stock connectors could be used, with the Odyssey they would have to be modified.

Black & Decker PAV1200W 12-Volt Cyclonic-Action Automotive Pivoting-Nose Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

This thing is perfect! The things I looked for when shopping for my first auto vac were:

1) Length of cord plenty of legnth. DON'T EVER GO FOR A WIRELESS AUTO VAC! The suction power dies, and eventually, you'll have 5 minutes of good suction per charge. The cord for this vac is too long and that's a good thing. Of course you'll need a cigarette lighter input, which all cars should have. I am able to reach the back of my Scion tC with ease and extra cord available. And if you know anything about tC's, they are small cars so you big car owners should have no problem at all.

2) Suction power Since this is a wired-type, there's no need to worry about loss of suction power. With 12V, this thing will clean up your car pretty nicely. For those stubborn pieces of dirt, hair, cloth, etc. that stick to your car fabric, the brush attachment does wonders.

3) Attachments It comes with three attachments a brush attachment, a rectangle-to-circle attachment to attach the brush, and a tube attachment to reach those hard-to-reach spots. This vac comes with a pivoting action end which is, in my opinion, genius. It really helps to access under the seats and under the side-ends of the back seats.

4) Convenience It's lightweight, and comes with a bag, so you can carry it around for travel.

All in all, this is the best auto vac solution. Don't worry about the price this thing is worth every penny.

I like this vac, but I can't say I love it. If the suction were a bit stronger, I'd be giving it 5*. Although it doesn't have the more powerful suction that I'd hoped for, it is still strong, and certainly much, much better than my previous auto vac. I will also add that I would probably do a better job when not holding the pocket cam in my other hand, so take that into consideration as well. That said, I am pleased with the performance and the features.

AIR WATTS= 11 Bowl Capacity= 11.8 oz.(350 ml)

CORD LENGTH= 16 ft. Replacement filter= PVF100

Volts= 12V 2 Year Warranty

The pivoting arm also has a smaller arm that extends out from the end if you choose to use it for the extra reach. While I was able to get the arm down next to the seats, it couldn't go all the way down, which is what I will use the hose attatchment for. The arm did excel at getting in between the rear seats as I could hold the unit at such an agle as to easily reach deep in between the seat and back cushion to get all the crumbs that get pushed there over time.

I haven't used the rounded brush yet, however the small brush that fits onto the very end of the pivot arm extender is very useful in that it helps agitate the debris in the carpet fibers giving a much better pick-up than using the arm alone. The hose I have used once, and it works fine, however I found that I lost a bit of suction with it attatched.

Emptying the unit is a breeze. You just flip up the lid, and dump it right into say, a plastic bag that you keep nearby as I did. The cord which plugs into a cigarette lighter wraps around the unit and has a clip on the end to keep it inplace. The 16 ft cord length is actually a very beneficial feature as I was easily able to reach the back of the car to vacuum the trunk. I like the fact that it's corded also, because it seems to me that the cordless models would have less power to begin with, and that power would decrease as it's in use; as well as the fact that you can only use them for a limited time before the need to recharge them. No such issues with a corded vac such as this PAV.

You also receive a neat carrying case that is roomy enough to fit the vac and all attatcments inside without having to cram them or figure out the secret to making them fit back in like some other items that come with cases often do.

There is no way to plug it in the home, and though I do see adapters that are marketed to use with this, the reviews on many of them say that they are not strong enough to power the vac. Originally, that was my plan, but I've since decided to just buy something else small messes in the home, ie a mini 2hp shop-vac.I will also post some pictures of the unit/accessories above as well.

**Update**7/27/11-I found another way to clean deep along both sides of the bucket seats up frontI went to WalMart to purchase a micro tools kitSHOP VAC MICRO-CLEANING that is actually for a shop vac that Shop-Vac 5895100 2.0-Peak Horsepower AllAround EZ Series Wet/Dry Vacuum, 1.5-Gallon I also just purchased-and sure enough, the attatchments fit on the Black & Decker too, as they're for any 1.25in hose. I also used the mini brushes to get into the vents and other tight spaces throughout the car. This discovery makes the Auto Vac even more useful.The kit is available on Amazon, but I checked Walmart online first, and found them in stock, as another reviewer said they were cheaper there. (If you do go to get the micro toolsthey're in the tools dept. by the shop vacsnot the vacuum aisle; or so they were in my area)

Buy Black & Decker PAV1200W 12-Volt Cyclonic-Action Automotive Pivoting-Nose Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Now

It's the third vacuum cleaner I have experience with. First one was cheap and useless even it was plugged in cigarette lighter it never could pick up any dirt, the second was the same but wireless with 3 minutes of full suction and 2 minutes of slow death (30 min to recharge). I'm done with cheap (around $12) stuff. It was all wasting of money and I always ended up with brush cleaning. Even gas station vacuum cleaners with their nasty hoses never could done the job what I done with this fine product: Black & Decker PAV1200.

It was my first expression after I just started cleaning: "WOW!!!" and the same when I was done "Impressive!!!".

I came with two brushes, hose and adapter for hose connection. But it also has a nice feature as moving and extensible nozzle. You can adjust its position for your convenience and after you done you can fold it what makes whole unit is compact. If you look at the picture of cleaner you can see the red tip on the end of nozzle. That one is extensible to about 4-5". And its tinny so you can reach all slits.

I used one brush on this tip extending nozzle and I was done with cleaning of my minivan in 10 minutes reaching all spots including carpet mats, under pedals, under seats, between seats and decor. I got everything: fluff and hair with brush tip, dust and crumbs with cleaner suction which is pretty decent.

Cord is pretty long and easy to reel on back after you done.

Cleaner comes with nice bag with handle, so all parts including the unit you can keep together and it does not take to much room.

I Highly recommend this unit for everyone who got tired of search of decent vacuum cleaners and want to keep his car clean.

P.S. I cleaned with car engine running (did not want to waste my battery)

This is the best handheld vac I have ever owned. Cord is long enough to reach from the cigarette lighter to the back of a Honda Odyssey. All tools store nicely on the unit or in the included carry bag. This vacuum uses the cylonic action to trap the dirt. This keeps the dirt out of the filter and makes for easy emptying. Excellent vacuum that you can store in your trunk.
