3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, almost perfect..., September 9, 2008

This product is being used on my iPod Touch. The great thing about the iPod car kit is even with a hard plastic/rubber protective case left on, it fits into the charger. The clamps are firm enough to keep in place, but not so tight you can't get it out easily. I like the charging capability and the transmitter portion is fairly easy to set up. However, the reason for the 3/5 stars is No Instructions. Anywhere. There are no explanations in the packaging about subtle little things you might want to know. Like how to set the time. Also, the remote seems to work, but only if you are on "shuffle" or playing an album and want to rewind, advance, skip or repeat songs. It won't turn on backlight on my Touch, won't bring up playlists or anything else that is imprinted on the remote.
Also, I have yet to find any car accessory that uses FM as a transmission source that sounds perfectly clear or equal to cable/jack connection. This is one of them. (I also have a Delphi XM radio that I have cabled to the tape deck, because the FM signal never sounds as clear.)
I had to crank up the volume on the iPod Touch, the car radio and lower the Delphi XM to be able to switch between the two music sources without blasting the volume. The trade off is that the iPod now has noticeable background static.
Not a bad product if you have the available cigarette adapter holes left over and want to keep your iPod tTouch in a convenient place while you drive.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worked only for 1 month, October 15, 2008

This is a good product for the first month only. After one month I tried putting it in my car and it fell apart it burned out my stereo, cigarette lighter, and car clock. I really don't recommend it endless your willing to pay a lot more later.

Poor quality. Its HUGE and bulky so it flops around in the car adapter and doesn't find the best radio station to play my Ipod Nano on. I would deffinitly take my money somewhere else....
