3.0 out of 5 stars Works great, except for 1 (big) thing..., September 11, 2008

By	J. Huner (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Everything about this product works great except for one important item. First the good things:

1. The transmitter is strong and crisp
2. Works with the iPhone 3g
3. The arm is great - moves around to wherever you wish. Very sturdy.
4. You only need to insert the jack for hands free calling (only need the charger to listen to music).

Overall & originally, I was overjoyed at how well this product worked.

Now, the bad:

1. It doesn't swivel so that you can put the iPhone in landscape/coverflow mode... Not a big deal though... But what IS a big deal:
2. The unit actually "beeps" about once a minute. Sometimes you can hear it really well (listening to talk radio), and sometimes not at all (but usually you will hear at least one beep every five minutes or so). I wrote the MediaGate Tech Support, and their reply was:

"The reason for it beeping every 30 seconds or so is in order for the FM transmitter and FM radio to stay active and not in idle mode, it requires the unit to beep. This is a normal feature but unfortunately there is no way of turning this off."

I'm not sure if I am going to return this yet; but I have a feeling it could go one of two ways... Either it drives me insane, or I just start not hearing it like a grandfather clock. I'll try it for another couple days and see how I feel...

3.0 out of 5 stars Serves its purpose, but wouldn't recommend, May 15, 2009

By	Matthew P. Winans (Schenectady, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It works well for music, however for hands-free calling, this unit is absolutely terrible.

I was rather dissapointed, as hands-free calling was the main reason I bought this product.

2.0 out of 5 stars I Should have waited, January 18, 2009

By	M. Ivey (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is ok, but doesn't work well with my iPhone. Sure it charges it, but the FM transmitter gives an annoying "BEEP" over my radio every 15 seconds when I use it. I have to use the old fashioned tape adapter to hear my music uninterrupted.
