Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington 33169 Digital FM Radio and Transmitter for iPods
Customer Review: It works, but.....
Summary: 3 Stars
I do like this item, but I get irritated with it easily. First of all, it has to stay close to the radio or you loose the transmission. You have to find the right station too, or it will be fuzzy when the music is playing. What I think bothers me the most about it is that if I loose the transmission, the transmitter turns off, and I have to unplug it from my I-Pod for it to turn back on. This is all a little much when you are trying to drive safely. I don't know, maybe mine has a problem, but it makes listening to my I-pod in the car less enjoyable. If you can get it on a great sale or free, it is worth is, but I wouldn't spend more the $25 bucks for it.Customer Review: Great Little Device in Irresponsible Packaging
Summary: 4 Stars
The Kensington 33169 transmitter performs just as well as the promotional materials promise, and it could not be easier to use. It will turn your iPod into a portable stereo for you and your companions, making it well worth the very affordable price. I would have rated this item at 5 stars, but I was bothered by the over-packaging; the device is sealed in a form-fitting plastic caccoon, top and bottom, inside a box that is at least eight times bigger than the device itself, and the box is shrink-wrapped in more plastic! Terribly wasteful packaging shows an utter lack of environmental ethics, so the folks at Kensington have to take a hit for that.Customer Review: Not bad for an FM Transmitter
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros: - 1 piece intergration without unsightly cables
- Not CD quality but its not all that bad, maybe FM quality (if you want CD quality you need a car stereo that has direct line in or ipod jack that are in alot new cars now)
- Got it for $26 from Amazon (just click savae for later and watch the price drop, then get it with free shipping)
Cons: - uses ipod battery, should have been made to use like 2AA or something so it wouldnt drain the ipod
For that price its worth a try! Havent found anything else better on the market. Not perfect but what is!!
Customer Review: Works good but get the other versions....
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this because it came cheap with my iPod (which I love). I like it and it comes in handy when entertaining at home because I can just hook it up to the iPod, tune the stereo in and listen without having to buy an expensive speaker unit for the iPod.
That's the good news...the bad news is that you can't use this unit if your iPod is in a case (and why own an iPod if you aren't going to put it in a case!!!).
If you are going to use this in your car, GET ANOTHER PRODUCT! You want something in the car that will also charge your iPod battery. This won't do that.
Customer Review: Good product for the right price.

I bought this product with a mail in rebate for an overall cost of -$[...] with free shipping. I have used other FM transmitters before and this is not the best one on the market, but you get what you pay for. It will definatly do its job and as long as the station is completly static the sound will be clear when the ipod is transmitting to that station. I do like the digital display and the easy to operate buttons. It may be the nature of FM transmitters but it seemed to me that the sound quality of this transmitter was less the others I have used.
