4.5 stars.
Excellent sound quality - as good as if it was plugged directly into my car stereo.
No GSM buzz (I've used other brands with my iPhone and had to stop using them because of the buzz)
Great way to listen to podcasts and charge my iPhone at the same time using just using the 1 cigarette lighter. (I need to have my iPhone charging whenever I'm in my car because the battery life on the iPhone leaves a lot to be desired)

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent FM Transmitter....., November 11, 2008

This review is from: Satechi Windshield Mount Fm Transmitter for iPhone 3G and iPod Touch with Remote Control (Electronics)

Works for the I-Phone 3G

Pros:
Side arms securing the device
Remote Control
USB port and input jack (for other devices)

Cons:
Static from incoming FM Station (not strong enough output or strong station in Southern California)
Message stating that it is not compatible.
Flexible arm attachment hard to attach to device (warning on box stating you must use force)
An incoming phones call causes a huge distortion.

Overall, it isn't bad, but I had to make some adjustments like using my headphones as an antennae (putting my earphone across my visor and putting the jack in (not all the way plugged in)) to get a clearer and stronger reception. It is convenient since Southern California has the hands-free law, but if you live in a city with many radio stations, I would not recommend this device. However, if you want to secure your I-Phone for navigation purposes, it is pretty good. Hope this helps some of you decide whether to purchase or not.

I had a problem with this product and my iPhone. Satachi is a superb customer service company in the same league as Nordstrom and Zappos. (Amazon, take note.) They replaced my iPhone and refunded my money and couldn't have been nicer about the whole thing. I have some friends who use this with their iPhones and they report it works really well. it's so great to find a company you can trust.
