This is the second FM transmitter I have bought for my car. First I owned the BELKIN, which I do not reccommend at all. It could not hold reception for anything. This one works great! I have a GMC Yukon with a stock radio. I was going to get a new radio, but if you are familiar with GM cars, you'll know that they need an additional $110.00 worth of wires, harnesses and dash kits to put in any aftermarket stereo. Add that to the "Brain" as they call it, you need to make your new stereo iPod compatible and it adds up quick. I just did not want to put $400-$600 into that right now.

The transmitter is great for fm reception too. I love love love that it has that clear little cover that keeps fingers and any surface at all off of my iPod. We all know how badly these things scratch!

My only nitpick's are that it really needs a armband or a pocketsnap. If I wanted to take it with me on a walk or to the gym (to use the fm radio part) I would have to stick it in my pocket or hold it.

Also, I would like it if the back was anti skid for when I set it down in my car. It really slides around, so I set it in the cupholder. Unless I have drinks, then I have to set it on the console where it it constanly skidding around and falling on the floor if I corner too fast. (Or if my husband is driving!)

Lastly, if you live in a area where it is hard to find a good clear station to use, try plugging your iPod earphones into it. This somehow helps clear up static if there is any.

I bought this from a local store and paid about $15.00 more plus tax. I should have bought it here.

I too have had problems with this, but was set to purchace another until I read the reviews here. I use it primarily for it's FM *reception* and not for broadcast abilities. There are LOTS of choices for *that*. I agree that it requires the earsets for broadcast transmission and of course you'd need them to receive FM (or you'd never know what you're not hearing!).

The unit worked flawlessly for over a year and then without incident it developed an issue with refusing to turn on. About one day in three or four it'll work. On the others it comes on then immediately shuts itself off. The other negative reviewers were not specific enough for me to determine if this was the same issue they were experiencing.

For now, I'll look for an alternative adapter for FM reception.

I bought one and when I first plugged it in was unimpressed. It was weak & full of static. Then I plugged in the headphones and was crystal clear. It needs them as an antennae. It also was unhappy when the ipod wasn't fully charged. It then died after a week so I returned it. Interesting idea but way too fragile. Now I need an new transmitter but they all seem to have problems.

The Nanotune is awesome and I loved that I could take it everywhere, but it died after the second week of having it. I have exchanged it once before since it died a week after, now it died again. I wish I can find the manual to get my money back. It won't last if you buy it. Get some thing that holds it in place. The velcro that came with it slipped right off and it kept falling all over my car when I slowly went over a speed bump. Do not buy!

Just stopped working... going to return... be careful with this one.
