I am a technician so I did a lot of research on this item. I bought this one because of the 5 star reviews. However, it didn't work. I tried it first with the cigarette lighter adapter. When I plugged the FM Transmitter into the iPod, I couldn't see the #'s, then a little backlight came on and I still couldn't see the #'s unless I tilted the whole thing at a strange angle. Then when I found the right frequency to use, it was just ok. A little static but not too bad. It totally drained my iPod battery instead of charging it. I went home and charged my iPod and tried it again the next day. I tried it this time without the cigarette lighter adapter and the FM transmitter and radio station matched and the result was the same. Just a little static, but usable for a few minutes until the #'s on the FM transmitter started changing all by itself and wouldn't stop. I hadn't touched it and it had been playing a song from my iPod in an okay fashion. Still couldn't really see the #'s on the FM transmitter, they were very dim...almost looked like it was getting no power. I stopped for gas, turned everything off and when I turned it back on, NOTHING! No #'s on the FM transmitter no sound from my iPod to the car radio...NOTHING at all! So my opinion on this product would be (INSERT BUZZER NOISE HERE)...I think it isn't a good product.

i was worried at first when i didnt see any instructions but you literaly just plug the wireless adapter into the ipod and tune the radio to the station on the adapter. works greats and sounds great.

I purchased this item after reading some of the previous reviews, it is the worst ever. It drains your ipod battery like no other. the play time is maybe a half hour to 40 minutes. I have a 4th gen ipod nano, but i dont think that has anything to do with this.
It changed frequency at the slightest motion.
many times, it just starts scanning through all the stations and stops playing.
impossible to use when connected to be charged.
Bad transmission.
Horrible product, do not buy.
