5.0 out of 5 stars A great gadget for your iPod, December 18, 2006

This review is from: Macally Docking, Charging, and FM Transmitter Station for iPod (Black) (Electronics)

I recently bought this FM Transmitter-Charger-Docking Station for my iPod and I love it! The reasons:

1. The iPod signal is transmitted loud and clear to my RAV-4's radio;
2. It comes with adaptors for all iPods;
3. Works as an fm transmitter to portable cd players (or equivalent devices) by connecting the iCup to the headphone jack with the enclosed cable;
4. Charges the iPod;
5. Fits perfectly and securely to the back seat cupholder (adjustable cupholders won't fit securely), so your front seat cupholders and lighter are free. In RAV-4, the back seat cupholders are concealable;
6. Its black color makes it less conspicuous for the thieves.

The only minor drawback is that one has to remove the i-Skin from the iPod to make it fit inb the docking station. However, the sound quality and stability of the signal outweighs my minor complaint.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed!, July 12, 2006

If you've got your iPod to use it on your car, don't hesitate on getting this.

After lots of research I finally made my mind on buying this handy accesory. I came out to be just what I needed. The FM transmitter is powerful enough to keep my audiophile ear satisfied (once you spend some time finding the best clear station in your tunner).

This is getting 4 out of 5 stars because of the lack of capability to set your own presets (the QS button just gives you the chance to switch between factory set stations). The problem with the bulky power cord could easily be fixed with a little time and basic electrician knowledge to hard-wire it under your dash (keeping your lighter free).

This is the second transmitter I buy and I've found it just great. If your car has a cup holder near your dash this is a must.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than any of the other transmitters, January 9, 2007

This FM transmitter is much better than the Itrips. It's easy to change the channels, and there's no need to fuss with programming stations into the Ipod. You just plug it in and go. The only trouble with the device is that it must be plugged into the cigarette lighter to function, so you can't use the power source to do anything else without a splitter.
