 Poor Quality Product April 27, 2007

I recently bought this product, after reading the reviews, to replace my iriver AFT-100 (which is now only playing on one channel). Firstly, the one sent to me looks different to the one in the picture (different colour, different button layout & different colour readout). It may well be the one I was sent performs differently to the one in the picture.
It works as advertised - however, not with the quality I was hoping for. Even with the volume on my MP3 cranked right up, the sound levels were so low that in order to hear anything the car audio volume control had to turned up - but instead of louder music all you get is more hiss/interference. It also isn't able to override pirate radio stations, something which is crucial in South London as there hardly seems to be a clear/free FM frequency.
In every single area, & by a considerable margin, the AFT-100 out performs this unit. I would never recommend it to anyone - in fact I would strongly advise anyone thinking of buying this unit not to.
 Great little gadget April 22, 2007

Bought this last week for my Sandisc player. It is vey easy to set up just plug in the car lighter socket and then into the MP3 player and it's done. Like others have said you need to have the MP3 players volume turned up to max and this will drain your players battery quicker than normal. The postage on this product is high at around 7 but a price of 10 seems fair for this tansmitter. Remember because you are buying from a third party via Amazon you can't do a Super Saver Delivery on this. This goes for the majority of products on Amazon that have ridiculously low price but high postage.
Always check the postal cost before you buy and if you don't agree with the P&P don't buy the product.
Excellent value and works well April 4, 2007

Given the very low price I thought it was worth a try, and was pleasantly surprised. I never needed to even look at the paperwork - intuitive to set up and use. I tuned Memory 1 to 107.00 fm and had it working in about 3 minutes. I now use it all the time, travelling up the M1 and A1, and have never had to try another frequency. The only tip to remember is that you should set your MP3 player output to maximum volume - this allows you to have the radio volume lower, and cuts out background hiss. I find the reception quality excellent, and use it for both music and talking books.
How can the cheapest be the best - well in this case it seems to be March 14, 2007

I read all the reviews on other models as well as this one and they seem to have their valid criticisms but there were some very positive reviews of this TekNet in-car wireless device so I bought it. It arrived and it was so refreshing not to have to wade through 50 languages and a 30 page manual. The instructions were on the rear of the package.
I took it to the car with my MP3 player. Plugged it in the cigar socket. It fired up and tuned itself to 108.00 on the FM band. So I tuned my car radio to 108.00 plugged the jack into the MP3 player. Set the player going on a track I like. Volume was perfect. Fidelity excellent. I tested it on loud piano music, and also on some Speech recordings of poetry being read. Perfectly clear; no appreciable hiss or distortion.
I've not tried it while belting along the motorway but I don't envisage it being a problem with drop-out. It's a super bit of kit. Amazing that it can be so cheap and that the postage costs more than twice the price of the item!
Looks to me like Royal Mail ain't good value any more!
I can recommend this to anyone who wants to listen to their favourite tracks from Ipod or Mp3 player in the car. It does everything it says on the tin. Nothing complicated; no codecs to find; no drivers; no silly firmware upgrades. It just works and that means it's very good design.
suprisingly good gadget October 30, 2006

Didn't know much about mp3 transmitters but Amazon has always been reliable and the other reviews of this item look good, plus it was inexpensive so i ordered and i have to say this is an outstanding product (and not just for the money) it arrived quick and was up and running in less than 5 minutes, playback from my mp3 was superior to that of my usual cassette adapter with only a small amount of background noise which is un-noticable when music is playing. Not been using it for that long so don't know about reliability but hey it's under a tenner delivered so you can't go wrong!
