No good in Atlanta, either.......2007-12-14
I drive a 2004 VW Phaeton, which has neither a cassette player nor an MP3 jack, so a transmitter is the only way I can get songs out of my Zune and into my car. I have a Pioneer Inno XM receiver/transmitter which does a really good job, even in this urban market. The Kensington transmitter does a poor job, so I can't simply blame the crowded airwaves. This unit simply lacks the chops to get the job done.
Great product.......2007-12-10
This is a great FM transmitter. It works better than the other one that I had. It does not pick up hardly any interference from my phone (use my phone to play MP3s). When it does the interference is very quiet. The base is also better. The only reason that I did not give this five stars was the fact that it is very hard to read the display if you are not looking strait at it.
Easy way to add MP3 capability to car audio.......2007-11-29
This unit is easy to use, thanks mostly to the digital tuning feature. You just match your receiver signal to the frequency displayed on the unit -- if you can see the display. It helps to plug the unit into a cigarette lighter extension or multiple outlet adapter, so you can turn it to a good viewing angle, unless your power outlet is in a good viewing position. The only other drawback is trying to find a free channel to tune it to. Where I live and drive, there's not much of the FM spectrum left unused, so I find a lot of interference with nearby stations, and have to try new frequencies in some parts of town. Switching the stereo to "Local" doesn't seem to have much effect. At least it's easy to retune when necessary.
Well intentioned but flawed execution.......2007-11-27
I bought this to provide audio playback in my vehicle for my new Sony Ericsson W580i. I had previously used a Griffin iTrip with an iPod 3G 20GB to broadcast tunes to my car; the interface was horrible and the transmitter was underpowered. Not a good product to use. My sister uses a Kensington transmitter for her iPod Nano (the Kensington FM transmitter with the iPod dock connector) and it seems to work very nicely.
PROS:
I like the tuner and the preset buttons...much better idea than other tuner mechanisms in competing products. Cord is adequately long. Transmit power is very nice; I've used it in my vehicle and my wife's vehicle, and it can seem to drown out almost any strong FM signal. As a result, I don't find myself needing to use the tuner or the presets as often as I would have thought.
CONS:
This thing cuts out when it doesn't detect a significant signal within 10 seconds (a threshold which is regrettably not user-modifiable). That means if the transitions between songs are soft, or a song is not adequately normalized, the transmitter powers itself down. The only way I've found to turn it back in is to unplug/replug it into the outlet. This was VERY distracting on a car trip, whether I was the driver or the passenger. I had the volume set to about 75-80% of max, but it didn't seem to matter; every few songs, it died on me. HORRIBLE. If I raised the volume above 75%, I got the expected audio distortion (which is identical to what I received when using the Griffin iTrip) but the tuner didn't turn itself off as often. So the user has to play an elaborate game with volume to prevent this feature from interrupting your music, or you have to be lucky enough to have an audio source that can normalize its output.
It also has some kind of Arielle signal processing chip inside to theoretically make the sound better. From what I could tell, it sounded as if the audio was continually being adjusted (treble slightly up and down, stereo widening in and out) depending on the frequency balance of the music. This would be similar to buying a digital camera that applied too much color compensation and noise smoothing; I expected a faithful facsimile of the original audio, not a frequency-tweaked estimate.
I would never recommend this product to anyone...it is a shame that the actual FM transmitter is such high quality, but the "features" get in the way. Also such a shame that Kensington is a relatively high-end choice in iPod/MP3 accessories...definitely not the case for this device.
Works like a charm.......2007-11-27
My wife and I used this transmitter during a cross-country drive from San Francisco to Vermont and back. It worked perfectly. In areas where the radio frequencies are very crowded, the sound gets distorted (as expected) which clues me in to the need for finding a new unused frequency. All in all, a great item at a great price. I would have paid more if they included a now-standard USB-format charging cable.
