Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this product. I live in southern California where it is difficult to find an empty station (I use 88.7), and my iPod sounds good. It doesn't sound like my Bose sound station, but I do not expect it to. I have a stock radio, and the static is minimal. I like that my iPod is charging while I am listening to my music or audiobooks, so it is always ready to go. Having the ipod sit in the crade is very convenient because it is always within arm's reach, and easy to change songs, or volume if need be. I did find that if you do not have the volume on the iPod high enough, and try to compensate with the car radio, there is a lot of static and hissing. After I adjusted the iPod volume to mid range, and the radio to a more normal volume my static and hissing went away! Great product!Customer Review: Belkin TuneBase Fm Transmitter

this is one of the best products made for ipod, if you can figure out the few tricks to it, the first it to just find a station that if you go up .2 theres nothing, and down .2 theres nothing, hard to do but look in the low 90's for that one clear station, next if you want superb audio this is a trick most people don't know, FM can't handle lots of bass or treble so what you have to do is set your equalizer ON THE IPOD to LOUNGE, and then mess around with whatever you what bass and treble you want on the actual console, when you have the bass to high on the ipod it creates distortion because your console doesn't quite know how to interpret it right and play it through the speakers smoothly, i can bump the music as high as it goes on my infinity speakers and there's no distortion at all.Customer Review: here's the scoop

It looks like most of the negative reviews for this item are negative because of the flaws in FM transmitters, not because this product is inferior. Long story short, if you live in a crowded media market like Chicago, any FM transmitter will likely not work well. I live in Albuquerque, a decent-sized city, and it works pretty well. On the road, it's awesome, with no interference from local stations. The cradle is WAY better than having one of the ones with a cord. You must make sure that the power outlet/lighter is in a place in your vehicle to make this work. If it does, and you are in the market for an FM transmitter, this is the one to buy. If you must have CD quality sound or live in a crowded media market, do not get any FM transmitter.Customer Review: High hopes but disappointed

My Honda Odyssey has a pretty sensitive FM receiver. I notice that it pulls in stations better than our Honda CRV or our Honda Civic. So I thought the Belkin FM transmitter would work fine for my iPod Nano. Unfortunately I tried many ways to obtain a clear transmission without success.
The Nano would play through the car stero, but always with unacceptable noise. I tried locating areas across the FM band from the bottom to the top where there were no stations broadcasting and set the transmitter to those frequencies. In every case it did work but with poor results. I will be returning this otherwise well designed unit. Sound is what it is all about but this unit failed to produce.
I will be using a cassette adapter instead.

I bought this a year ago, and love it. I wanted something to listen to my IPOD in the car, and this was it. I live in upstate New York, and do not get any interference at all. I like that there are different holders that you can insert for different IPOD sizes. you can also preprogramm stations on the unit to help with easy changing if you do go into an area that is not getting good reception. A few times going into the city I have had to change my programmed channel, but for the day to day driving, I use the same one, no problems. You do have to shut off your ipod when you shut off the car, but I would do that anyway, never would live the IPOD in car, locked or not. I am getting ready to buy another one for my husband for fathers day.
