 Mediocre at Best January 7, 2009
I found this Belkin FM Transmitter to be barely adequate. No matter what free FM frequency I tuned to it could not provide a clear channel for my MP3 player. There was a lot of static and I found my player was hard to hear clearly. Within a short time this trasmitter has became more of a nuisance and I no longer use it. I would not recommend it to anyone.
 Doesn't get the station needed January 2, 2009
Where I live (CT) the ideal station for a transmitter is 87.9, but this one only went down to 88.1! Why? I returned it, and am still searching for another one.
Stopped working after four months December 9, 2008
This product worked all right for the first few months that I used it. I used it almost daily for my commute. The reception had a bit of static in some locations, but I wasn't expecting it to be perfect. However, it just stopped working suddenly after only about four months. Overall, it was not worth buying.
 Works great for me! December 9, 2008
Don't expect great sound from any FM Transmitter. Direct plug into the stereo/speakers is best. Cassette adapter is second best (if you have a functioning cassette player). FM Transmitters are probably going to give you some static, especially at higher volumes, but can work well enough to make your drive a little better.
I wanted a way to listen to my Sony Walkman MP3 player in my car. My tape deck has issues and I don't use it enough to make it worth while to replace it. The Belkin FM Transmitter was the most affordable FM Transmitter I could find with a lighter adapter (didn't want to mess with batteries all the time) so I figured I'd give it a try. I live in a rural area with lots of open frequencies. I just tuned to one and the Belkin worked right away. I couldn't hear any static at the volume I would typically listen at, so it works for me. And at the present time, other FM Transmitters are going for twice the price as this one.
Not worth it! December 4, 2008
Pro's: NONE
Con's: My tape player works better than this! Don't get this product unless you want to end up returning it at a later date.
