Product Description

Product Description
For years, car radios have offered programmable, pre-set buttons to help the driver keep his eyes on the road while listening to his favorite stations. Now, you can do the same thing with your iPod using this handsome FM transmitter. Plugging into the cigarette lighter and featuring an extension to bring it easily within your reach, you can play the contents of your iPod or iPod nano directly through an FM radio frequency on the car radio. Choose from an available frequency ranging between 88.1 MHz to 107.9 MHz, and program two of them into the transmitter's memory. Its white backlight LCD display helps you to see the frequency clearly. With this transmitter, you may never use your car radio again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Device, August 15, 2008

By	Stuart Evans - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the first time I bought a device like this and let me say it worked marvelously.

I took a road trip from Phoenix, AZ to Washington, DC and seeing how way more of my music is on an iPod than actual CDs I decided to invest in a FM transmitter. I was a bit nervous buying one with such little amounts of feedback but I do not regret this purchase at all.

First of all let me say that the signal is excellent, the sound quality just as good. A bit of advice for first time users, if you listen to slower/lighter music you may want to keep the backlight of the iPod on as it will eliminate any static that may occur. Secondly, I reccomend choosing stations that are within .2 of any working radio station. For instance, when I was driving through Tennessee the closest working radio station was 92.3 so I set my iLuv to 92.5 and the signal was great. I noticed that if you find a desolate signal with a lot of static, that static will carry over into your sound.

The only problems I had were with podcasts and slower songs. I have deducted the cause being the sound, as my harder music rarely cut out. Podcasts were the most frustrating as they would constantly lose signal with this device, and it was less with my softer music though still apparent as I would not be mentioning it if not. There were instances where the signal cut out completely, but they are so far and in between it's hardly worth mentioning. Plus a quick tap of the button restores signal instantaneously.

The memory buttons come in handy now that I am in DC, there are many radio stations here so finding a good signal was tough but not impossible. Otherwise I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an FM transmitter, I drove roughly 2,000 miles and this thing made every mile bearable. I honestly do not know what I would've done without it.

Well, except for use CDs of course but what am I a caveman?

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a WINNER!!, February 23, 2008

By	Mrs. Banda - See all my reviews

The iluv I707 FM transmitter was extremely easy to use. I am in no way a tech savvy person and it took me about a minute to get it working. I have a 3rd generation nano and it fit into the dock perfectly, even with the casing on. You literally plug it into your lighter and find a station and you're done. If you're worried about it not fitting into your lighter, I have a pretty old and crappy car and it fit into mine just fine. I would say that if you are looking for a transmitter for your ipod this is the one to buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well - learned from other's mistakes, September 8, 2008

By	Eric Burger (North America) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We used the transmitter for a road trip from New Hampshire to Atlanta. Pros: Tunes the whole band. That's very important if you are traveling, as you will find the "white space" (where there is no signal, so you can slip in the iPod signal) will move. Charges *and* plays at the same time. Easy to use.
Cons: This was not an issue for us as we had the unit in a Mitsubishi Gallant, which has a lot of choices for power outlets, but you may have a problem with the articulated boom from the power adapter to the holder. Make sure it will fit and articulate they way you need it, e.g., not into the shifter, in your car.
