Where I live (CT) the ideal station for a transmitter is 87.9, but this one only went down to 88.1. Why. I returned it, and am still searching for another one.
The reception had a bit of static in some locations, but I wasn't expecting it to be perfect. This product worked all right for the first few months that I used it. I used it almost daily for my commute. However, it just stopped working suddenly after only about four months. Overall, it was not worth buying.
Don't expect great sound from any FM Transmitter. And at the present time, other FM Transmitters are going for twice the price as this one. The Belkin FM Transmitter was the most affordable FM Transmitter I could find with a lighter adapter (didn't want to mess with batteries all the time) so I figured I'd give it a try.
Cassette adapter is second best (if you have a functioning cassette player). I just tuned to one and the Belkin worked right away. Direct plug into the stereo/speakers is best.
I live in a rural area with lots of open frequencies. FM Transmitters are probably going to give you some static, especially at higher volumes, but can work well enough to make your drive a little better.I wanted a way to listen to my Sony Walkman MP3 player in my car. My tape deck has issues and I don't use it enough to make it worth while to replace it.
I couldn't hear any static at the volume I would typically listen at, so it works for me.
Pro's: NONECon's: My tape player works better than this. Don't get this product unless you want to end up returning it at a later date.
Absolutely terrible product. It started to randomly turn off and would not turn back on after only a month of having it. Big waste of money. Get a transmitter that connects to the bottom (dock connector) of your ipod instead.
