Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a total waste of money IMHO. The main reason I bought this is so we could have an inexpensive way to listen to an IPOD in the car, of course I thought it would be nice to play it through the home stereo so I tried it there 1st.
On a radio that does not have a digital FM tuner good luck finding the EXACT station you have to, even when I did get something, sounded horrible. But it was an old radio so I wasn't expecting much to be honest.
At this point I went to play it through my home stereo. 2 of the 4 FM frequencies that you can use were free in my area but the quality was still so-so. Even with moving it around, draping my antenna over the unit, changing frequencies and just really playing with every possible combination it was difficult to get a non staticy signal, even then it was a very poor signal and I had to crank the stereo up to get any kind of good volume.
Finally, I tried it in the car and after the 1st 2 experiences I wasn't expecting much. Unfortunately, I was right. The ONLY way I could get it to come through my car stereo at all was to lay my Ipod and the unit in the top right corner of my dashboard. (The cars FM antenna is located on the hood of the car on the right side like a lot of cars) Again, I tried all 4 frequencies, fiddled, adjusted, etc. It was just absolutely horrible, I don't understand how anyone could get this thing to work at any kind of acceptable level.
This is going back to the store and I would recommend against anyone spending even $1 on this unit since it just doesn't seem to work. Also, I have a Sirius radio that I play through my car through FM modulation so I am aware of what to expect and how it works. This is not user error. I understand this unit is low cost but the old adage rings true, you get what you pay for and when you spend close to nothing you get close to nothing... at least in this case!
