I had high hopes for this product. I'd been using a cassette style adapter for my MP3 player and wasn't happy with the normal tape hiss present in that style of adapter.

The unit works as described and is fairly convenient to use if you keep the "cheat card" of frequencies handy. You must also have a good, solid unused frequency in your area among the ones available on the Voyager. Unfortunately, I don't really have a frequency that's completely clear for it to broadcast through, which results in a fair amount of static and squeals and pops normally associated with AM radio stations.

I'm sure this product would work well for people in areas with a lot of clear frequencies, but I've gone back to my cassette adapter. The tape hiss is more acceptable to me than the random poor quality and static I frequently get with the Voyager.

Having used other FM transmitters for sending my MP3 output to my car FM radio, I can say that this unit is the best that I have used. The output is FM quality (which is the best you can expect from a FM transmitter)with good highs and good lows.

The output from the unit is very strong (compared to the other battery units I have owned). It takes a powerful station to create any "noise" under your signal.

I am buying several more for friends. Being a geek, I am very protective of my reputation and would not buy or suggest an inferior product.

This was my first time using an FM transmitter for sending my MP3 output to my car FM radio, and the unit works very good. It is very convenient the fact that it does not need extra batteries, so it does not have extra costs associated. It worked at the first attempt and continues to work well, although sometimes other stations interfere with the frecuency I choose. The sound quality is good, keeping in mind that you can only get FM quality.

I recommend it.

I fully expected to hate the FM Voyager Car Audio Adapter and have to return it. I've had terrible experiences with FM transmitters and held little hope for it, but this one solved my problem. It holds a signal better than anything I've tried before and the sound quality is pretty good. It beats the tape adapter for sure. I live in a big city where a lot of frequencies are occupied by radio stations, but the signals never cross! I gave it a rating of 4 stars because the retractable winding cord doesn't work that well, but it's hardly a reason not to get it.

Works well in general. Dont expect CD quality, but as good as any FM station as long as there is no local station at the selected frequency. An ipod battery charger feature would have been nice, but thats just a 'nice to have' really. Takes some getting used to for adjusting the volume on the ipod vs your stereo system to get the best sound, works well once you get it just the way you like it.

I am very disappointed with this product! The quality of sound is absolutely awful when a you play a song that contains some bass or electric guitars! It just sounds distorted. I would definitely not recommend buying this product unless all your listen to is soft music!

This adapter worked modestly well with my car but not at all in my wife's. That is, it worked for two days until it died. I even replaced the fuse but to no effect. Shoddy.

Great product!! It has many channels which is great if one develops static. I have had no problems whatsoever!

It worked for about 10 min and then it stopped working. The LED display went off and no FM signal was transmitted again. I tried several power outlets in two cars, it never worked again. Very bad product! Besides, when it worked, the sound quality is BAD!

The product performs well. Let's talk about the delivery. The product was over $25 so I used the "free" delivery. According to tracking the product went from Bell, CA to Jersey City, NJ and back to Bell, CA before coming to Las Vegas. It's destination. It took over 3 weeks to get it. What was that about?
