It sucks
The product lasted only a week... and then it broke. It was a waste of money.

Nifty
I was a bit sceptical as to how well this would work but am pleased with the results so far. The audio quality is very good but not perfect. It's very easy to use. So far, I have only used it in areas where an open FM frequency was readily available. If you are in New York, LA, etc. that could be an issue but I'm very happy with mine.

Self Destructed
It worked once when first connected and then it self destructed. I get nothing but static. Static on every station option. Static on every IPOD setting. This FM Transmitter is a big, big disappointment.

Not worth the money
Initial sound quality was okay - nothing spectacular, and low volume.
It started making popping noises and/or working out of only one speaker after the first day.
After one week, the base would no longer charge the ipod because the interior pin broke, and would no longer play through the radio. I wish I'd gone with another one, as this one failed miserably.
