I spent a bunch of time reading reviews of various iPhone FM transmitters before buying this one. I've used it now for several weeks, so it seems only fair for me to pass on my views since I relied on these user reviews so much in selecting the product in the first place.

(1) The sound quality does seem better than other FM transmitters I've tried. I let it find a frequency and tuned the radio to it, and haven't had any interference, ghosting etc. I live in Washington DC and have found other FM transmitters just have too much interference to work effectively. So far, this gets full marks on sound quality, which is probably the most important issue to think about when buying one of these things. (If you haven't used FM transmitters before - understand one thing: the FCC limits the power output of these little transmitters to the point that they can be easily overwhelmed by interference, static, distant real radio stations, etc. - so finding one that actually works and puts out a strong enough signal to work effectively is really not easy. This one does manage it.)

(2) The mount does hold the phone securely and it is relatively easy to take the phone in and out of.

(3) The little dongle cord to plug the phone in is kind of klutzy. Basically, you have to plug the base of the phone into the dongle, then squeeze the arms that hold the phone together, every time you put the phone in the mount. It would be better to just drop the phone into the mount with a pre-set plug, then squeeze the arms together, but this is a fairly trivial issue. The other annoying thing about the dongle is that because it is loose, if you don't drop the phone in and connect it, it swings freely and knocks against other parts of the transmitter as you drive. You are basically compelled to hook up your phone every time.

(4) The plug going into the cigarette lighter holds the whole thing VERY securely. In fact, it holds so securely that I can't even get it out of the lighter plug. I think I would have to force it to pull it out, and I fear I'd break the whole thing if I pulled on it that hard. So, whether you intend it or not, this may be a permanent mount for you.

(5) I like how the screen can pivot on the phone and still hold securely. Depending on your car layout, this means you could use the mount for passengers to watch videos on the iPhone screen.

(6) The gooseneck seems sturdy enough. I am sure it will break eventually with hard use, but it should hold up for a reasonable period of time.

(7) If I had more problems finding a working station, it would annoy me that the frequency read-out on the thing is on the top of the mount instead of somewhere on the front, where I could easily read it. Since I haven't had any issues with the station it selected for me initially, I can't really ding the thing seriously for that.

Note: my car does have blue-tooth for the phone, so I haven't even tried the speakerphone thing. The only thing I can say about that is that it requires you to plug a little cable into the headphone jack AND plug in the dongle to make that work, which is a pretty inelegant solution. I'd think you'd be better off with a bluetooth headset vs this rather klutzy set-up, but look to other reviews if this is important to you.

Bottom Line: If your car doesn't have a tape deck and you don't want to spend $100s paying somebody to take your dashboard apart to give you an auxiliary input port in your car, this is a reasonable choice. It's not a perfect product, but it gets the job done. I don't regret buying it, even though it seems to be permanently stuck in my cigarette lighter. That is a measure of how much better it actually works than several of the other FM transmitters I've bought over the years.

I have the previous version of this product, and decided to try the new one.

It's a good FM transmitter when it comes to sound. The quality of the music is excellent compared to a lot of FM transmitters on the market. It's pretty easy to use, you just match the FM station on the Flexpod to the station on your car radio. It does what you expect it to do.

Some improvements from the old Flexpod are:
-New hands-free call microphone
-Rubberized DC barrel for better grip in the outlet
-Surge protection
-Black silicon rubber grips with wider wings to fit more iPhones and iPods with cases
-Fully rotating head so you can view it in landscape or vertical
-Better FM chipset

It performs well just like the old one, but with the added features the product has deinfitely taken a step up.

Hands-free can be tricky sometimes. Call quality is REALLY GOOD when you have a good station with little interference, and when you have 4 or 5 bars. If conditions aren't very good, the call quality can have some static. With the old version, sometimes people would have a hard time hearing my voice(due to interfence or something i'm not sure why...), but now there is a mini built-in microphone that picks up voice so that problem seems to be fixed with this new version.

I have friends that have Belkin and Griffin brands, but the FM signal doesn't seem to be as good... I like mine, and I think they paid something like $70.00 from costco for theirs.

The flexpod is sold as an iPhone accessory, but it is so so so much more. I bought an iPhone and ordered the flexpod, and after a few weeks I traded in the iPhone and got an Android phone. Thinking that I would either return or gift the product on arrival right before a long road trip, I decided to unbox it and take it along considering a lot of my team has iPhones. Our rental car became the envy of the convoy on the way to our regatta. Here's why.

1. Since the Flexpod attaches to the 3.5mm headphone jack, it is not limited to just iPhones.
2. Quality was incredibly clear. We had people with official i-whatevers (can't use brand name) and they weren't nearly as good. No static, even when passing stations that overlapped the FM band.
3. The adjustable holder held everything from an iPhone to a Sansa CLIP+ (very very small) and included padding to make the fit.
4. USB on the side. Meaning anyone with a usb charging cable could play AND charge their device.
5. It is very sturdy and holds everything very well whether in landscape or upright position.

With 15 hours of driving, 4 different drivers and 6 people total we used the Flexpod with
An iPhone 3G and 3GS, A motorola Backflip, A Nexus One, Zune HD, Ipod, and a Sansa CLIP+.

We did have some strange moments where an iPhone wouldn't charge while playing music, and then it would. Minor, and only happened once.
Everything charged except my Backflip, which seemed to get not quite enough juice to keep it from death when it was below 15% charge. It did keep it at 15% for over an hour of playback, so it seemed to be getting juice from USB.

Short story is I'll be recommending this product AND the company for as long as this device keeps doing what it's doing. I'm still waiting to see what happens in a stress test, but it's certainly over done itself in my book. I'll be keeping it.
