Loved the Product. I can't believe the price. Everyone who has an Iphone should have the 6-1 transmitter.

It’s almost 2 months now I am using this FM Transmitter and to tell you the fact, I am very happy with this compared to the expensive ones from Belkin. I have tried them all. I accept that the handsfree feature does not work that smooth in this one but I prefer my bluetooth instead this feature. Even the sound is better without the handfree sometimes. Fact with this FM transmitter technology is that it will have flaws; any brand you try as the sound clarity depends on local FM channels and to find a static free channel you have to keep tuning always. But for this price I definitely love it keeping in mind that it is easy to use and makes sure that my iphone battery never drains out!!

Bhavin Patel on 10/17/2009
Worked great until the tip of the cigarette adapter fell off due to the weight of the iPhone tipping and twisting the unit on sharp turns. I lost the fuse that goes inside the cigarette adapter part. Can anyone tell me the correct fuse voltage or amp to replace it with? Please email mwvideogeek@yahoo.com

Beware... this item cannot charge and play music on the iphone. I've tried with 2 different phones. my phone says it isn't compatible with this device. However, it still plays if you do not plug into it with the plug that comes with it. If you need to charge on it you can plug into the USB on this device, but it doesn't work like you would think. Other than that it was a little staticy so i had to solder and anteana on it to make it listnable. Since I made that modification it works pretty well.

Product is amazing - works much better than the $90+ ones from Belkin and others. Works with Touch G2 with a silicon sleeve around it. Just make sure to tighten all the parts before using.

This is the one of the ridiculous car holder I have ever seen. Ok first of all the unit is heavy and the manufacturer probably did not account for phone weight so when you put a phone in the holder it takes a 180 degrees rotation to the floor because cigarette lighter adapter is not capable of holding weight unless the adapter is very firm but this one is not. The other issue is the bottom holders for the cell phone are so weak as a tooth pick that when you put a PDA style phone like iPhone it will not be able to hold it and you may drop it even for the slightest bumps on the road. The FM transmitter works but the Lcd is placed so odd it is tough to read and adjust. It also has the headphone jack not neatly designed. Overall my recco is don't buy this.

I purchased when I did not want to continue to pay for my Sirius subscription. I used my blackberry and my free music software (slacker, and Pandora) It comes with a usb charger so my phone never drains. I have an unlimited data plan so I just open my music software hook up the 3.5mm phone jack to my phone set to a station that is available and Walla. I have my choice of music. I don't have to pay a monthly fee and it doubles as a charger and when calls come in it mutes the music. Great value. Have had it for a month now and the holder lets me text with one hand.

I bought this FM transmitter for my 3G phone. But this product does not work as it’s advertised; the hands-free wire must be plugged in for the FM transmitter to work. Do not waste your money or time on this product. You will end up paying return shipping charges, which is about half of the price of the unit, to even get a refund.

James on 8/28/2009
At first this unit didn't work with either my wife's iPhone 3Gs or my iPhone 3G. When the 30-pin cable was attached no sound would transmit over the radio.. without, it would. Now both phones work as advertised. Not sure if it was an iPhone update or possibly user error (not pushing the cables in fully). I will say that often using the hands-free for calls is not great because the caller hears themselves as an echo through your speakers and the system uses the iPhone's microphone. It is definitely functional and does what I had mostly hoped for (playing music, interrupting the music for calls, and charging my phone). Sound quality could be better.

I too had the same experience as most. Worked great for a week or so, stopped working. Tried again and it worked for a day, then stopped. Now, nothing. You get what you PAY for.

This seemed like an awesome idea but only transmits music, not working as expected with the iPhone. Won't transmit thru car system. Might be needing unique mini plug adapter for phone.

Joseph on 7/25/2009
I bought two transmitters, and they worked absolutely fine in the first week. Occasionally the speakers needed to be pushed in just a bit further, no big deal. Three weeks later, the transmitter just completely stops working for absolutely no reason. I called and there was no answer. I tried emailing, and no answer. I do not recommend this product. Spend maybe 20$ more and get one from logitech that is actually warranty covered for more than just a month.

First of all device is working. Thats relief !! In this low price great. Poor quality over all. Hands free has a lot of reception issues. Since a month, not even a single call went without any disturbance. iPod feature is the perfect one. this shows why the price is low. Buy it as an option but don't expect to much. You have to be techincally sound in operating the device.

Every IPhone ownwer should have one. It charges, it sends music thru the car stereo and you can answer hands free and communicate thru the sound system. Great price and quick delivery.This is a must have!!

I order 2 and one is perfect working condition, other has clamp is broken can not resize it. The FM transmitter and USB charging are working on both. The goose neck is flexible for position of device. Since these are made in China, the quality control is poor. You get product mostly by luck. I don't want to spend time to process the RMA of product, since I can work around with some elastic foam.

Good as a charger, and the transmitter works ok for music, but the phone comes through very very quiet, and you have to crank the radio volume way up to the point where you here about as much electronic noise as the caller's voice.

Jon on 6/8/2009
This device is not good at all. Don't go on reviews. I will say who says this product is good will be lucky person. 1) Hands free on iPhone does not work. 2) FM Transmitter does not work if you don't insert the cable in 3.5mm audio jack. Product manual says that this cable is only for handsfree. 3) FM Transmitter automatically stops while playing.You having to plug out and then again plug in the audio cable in 3.5mm jack to make it start again.

The FM transmitter stopped transmitting after 1 hour of use! This has a good potential but the quality factor was poor. Requesting return and refund.

Jason on 6/2/2009
The device works perfect, with music (I use the iphone to listen pandora or slacker) and switch perfect also when a phone call is coming or i can manually do it. The only reason why I didn't give 5 starts, is because the charger cable doesn't work well. It keep doing that annoying noice when you connect it and disconnect it every 5 seconds. So I use another cable for that purpose. But is really cool the music and hands free feature.

This was a way better transmitter than I had in the past. Almost no static. Also holds an iPhone nice and secure. 1 star off because you have to use the headphone jack and dock connector to play through the radio and charge. Also the FM dial is behind the iPhone. Still, very nice construction.
