Device works perfect and was designed to look like an extension of the Ipod instead of an add-on. Recommended to all I know who got I-pod Touches for Christmas.

If you only need a charger, that is fine. FM trasmission does not work well, lots of background noise whenever you get a connection, very hard for radios to get connection with this device…. Also it had a loose fit so the phone releases itself often… Only good thing was the charging capability for the iPhone.

What I like about it:
1)Sleek design that matches exactly the style of my ipod touch
What I didn’t like about it:
1)Slips out of the ipod rather easily because it lacks the little clips on the sides that some of these connectors have–very annoying.
2)The shaft of this connector that goes into the ipod wasn’t long enough to connect properly after I put a rubber case protector on it. Not really the fault of this unit, but the reality is that most people will probably have a similar experience given that you buy this to use with your ipod in the car.
3)Not all channels are available, so if you find a clear channel on your car radio, it might not be available on this unit.
4)Does not scan automatically to find the next clear channel like some of the more expensive models do, so trying to get to a clear channel between this and your car stereo is at least as involved as texting while you drive. I don’t recommend doing either. It’s a royal pain when you’re driving and you start getting interference.
To sum up, I decided to use an old cassette tape converter / connector instead. It makes a little noise due to the plastic gears spinning which is not ideal, but I usually only hear it between songs when no music is playing. (Maybe by now they’ve improved these and you can get one that doesn’t have moving parts that make noise). That said, much better sound quality and not losing your signal and having to adjust your radio station and the station on the FM Transmitter while driving make it a much better option in my opinion.

Usually FM transmitters of this size lack in quality compared to some of the mount styles out there. This one has really good sound, quality, looks good, and its easy to use. It’s really small and compact. The only NON-compact thing about it is the charging cable for the car. I just leave that thing in the glove compartment in case I want to charge my iphone while I listen to it. Otherwise it just works right off of the iphone power and its a self contained FM radio station. They really have a nice balance of price / look / simple use/ and MOST IMPORTANT: QUALITY!!! Awesome I recommend..
