Easy listening,
by mona71ford, 2010-07-15

I absolutely love this product. It is so easy to use and installation is practically nothing. You place the cup in your cupholder , plug the cord into your cigarette lighter outlet, and you're ready to listen to your ipod! As I am a senior adult, I am technically challenged, so this is just perfect! The sound is really good, too.

 

Just Stopped Working One Day,
by S. Rowland, 2010-06-08

I purchased this in September 2009. It just stopped working in June 2010. Not a fuse problem. Not a problem with the car. My wife also purchased one a month or two after I got mine. It also has stopped working. It's a great idea, but it really should last longer.

 

Quit working.,
by K. Nutter, 2010-03-24

I purchased this transmitter in Aug. 2009 and it worked until March 2010. Not sure if the cord quit working or the transmitter itself. Will attempt to contact seller but not counting on much feedback from them. I may be a cheap skate but I expect something that costs $50 to last a little longer.

 

Lots of static and poor sound quality,
by C. Moyer, 2010-03-09

The only reason I did not return this item is because when I travel to more rural areas, it gives me music options other than bluegrass and gospel. It is very difficult to find a clear FM station that doesn't have a lot of static that plays through the tracks on the ipod. You cannot turn the music up very loud either. I would suggest exploring available FM stations in your area before purchasing this.

 

Macally I Pod dock is the best of the bad,
by Joseph W. Howard, 2010-03-06

The Macally I Pod dock makes the best of a bad situation. The FM spectrum in New York is completely full and Macally's full spectrum capability allows the user to scan for those few weak channels that may be available. Installation is a breeze and the controls are well located and easy to use. Some static is inevitable and I found that it originated from the other chargers (cell phone, satellite radio, ect.) sharing the cigarette lighter outlets. The only fault with the unit is that the dock compromises volume somehow. Even setting the volume controls on the radio and I Pod at full only produces about 75% available volume. Using my ten year old cassette tape adapter with my I Pod, in my older Ford van, is still king. It provides full volume and static free music. Macally still provides this best, if still flawed, FM dock option.
