Good, but, not great.
I got this last night (Monday November 4th, 2007 @ 2:00AM)
1st.
I took it out of the box, found the right adapter that best fit my iPod
(Cassic 160GB)and installed it. Well there are two parts. One is the Cradle, which holds it on the sides and the Pad, which goes in the back of the unite that keeps it from moving forward. With both of these in place I have a good tight fit for my iPod.
2nd.
The "ClearScan" feature does not work all that well. Every time I...

Great Accessory!
I bought this for my daughter last Feb 07 for her birthday and it has held up beautifully. It is extremely durable and easy to use. She and I both like the fact that it is in a stable docking station rather than attached to a cord which could cause theipod to slide off the car console etc. when making a turn. In additon it is within easy reach to change songs so eyes stay on the road. Great buy!

Works Well and Best Yet
I recently purchased this unit as a set with a wall charger at Costco for $[...]. I have used three other units from Belkin TuneCast, Kensington 33169 Digital FM Radio and Transmitter for iPods, and XtremeMac AirPlay. The Airplay was for the original remote connector and worked good on my iPod Photo until my daughter broke it on a road trip. I bought the Kensington at a special price and it was not as powerful and therefore did not work as well. The Belkin TuneCast was a joke, but was univer...

Does what it's meant to do very well
While ClearScan did not the absolute best channels for me to use, the product worked just fine. I was able to quickly find 3 or 4 channels that work very well and get no static through them. The audio quality is very good with rare static sounds cming through. Using the Pro1 and Pro2 sound settings really are the most helpful features...they can make the audio quality even better and more helpful than the QuickScan.

Works Well
Unit provides a stable base to change stations when needed. Just completed a 1000 mile trip with multiple FM station change required. Was able to find unused stations with ease change radio frequency and continue listening. Tried others and was so disappointed I was about to quit. There may be others out there that are better but Im not willing to experiment.

Not worth the money
The digital display on my unit did not work out of the box started working for a few days and is not working again. It seems to be related to the power surge when the car is started. When it did work it picked a good station and the sound was prettygood for an FM transmitter. When you change the song on your Ipod the unit moves and causes static to go through the speakers. This is probably the best that can be expected from an FM transmitter if the display worked consistently. I am taking t...

Didn't work at all
FM Transmitters seem to be a "hit or miss" affair. It really depends on which one you buy, where you live, and what brand of car stereo you have. I have an older middle/high end Clarion CD player. I bought the "Tunebase" and tried several times across four days to get it to work with no success. I'm not one to ignore the instruction manual, but found other's who reviewed it were correct. There are indeed procedures left out of the manual. On the useless yet positive side, its attractive and look...

Great Quality
I first bought the Kensington LiquidFM Deluxe (Kensington LiquidFM Deluxe for iPod, iPhone FM Transmitter K33424US), but that FM Transmitter was awful.
I then purchased this FM Transmitter and it works great. The ClearScan feature works okay, though it sometimes lands on a channel that has another signal coming through. The FM transmitter's signal seems powerful enough to dominate the FM frequency that was chosen, though with a little static. When this happens, it has been simple e...

Not very compatible or strong
I bought this product from Wal-mart about a month or so ago and it was working fine. After about a week I realized that there was tons of static in the music depending on where I was driving even if on the 'best' station to be used.
I just dealt with it for the time being but....everything I tried to get the product out of my cigarette lighter area it seemed to be stuck and i actually had to pull it out...when I first got the product this was not an issue at all.
Today ab...
