- Works well.
This product works well.I live in a major metropolitan city and I have no problem finding a frequency.I have tried more expensive fm transmitters and have been disappointed and ending up going back to the Scosche. And it's pretty cheap.
My only complaint is that the wire tends to break after a year or so, probably because of my frequent pulling on the cord. But because it's so cheap, I don't mind buying a new one.

- Did not work for me
I have tried this product in 3 different vehicles and with an mp3 player as well as an ipod with no luck. In some areas, it will work temporarily and then cut out to static and I have to change to another station. When I finally get one of the 4 stations to work it will go out again and i have to start over. However, it does seem to work a little better in larger cities (I live in a rural area). But I would not recommend it for long trips as you are constantly having to change the frequency.
Rating: - works well on highway
I am from Missoula, MT and have found that driving on the highway while using the transmitter yields good results, not quite as good as cd quality but very close. I wouldn't suggest this for a city person though because of all the electrical interference, which makes the sound very fuzzy and distorted. Great for the highway though.
Rating: - Works reasonably well
The unit works as advertised.As some other reviewers have pointed out, there is some background noise, but this unit is no worse than the Belkin unit I had before it.It does turn on instantly when it is plugged into the power socket in my car, which is not that case with the Belkin.
Rating: - Ok-Good
This is not a hunk of junk but neither does it go very far it barely covers my trailer and wont go through the alluminium siding at all so if 88.5 and 88.1 are coming in strong in your area you will have no luck with 88.3 (so thats 3 channels you can't use) and88.7 might get feedover from 88.5 anyway it will work in a car great but if its for your trailer forget it if 88.5 and 88.1 are in use locally.
