Mediocre sound quality, not that I expected too much

If any of you can suggest the frequency to use in Brooklyn... Whatever I've tried so far, I get plenty of noise and then the sound would just go away. Probably, to be expected in this town, still interested if anybody's gotten it work successfully.

I have been using it with a USB for the last couple of weeks and am very happy with the purchase. For $10 can't beat this. Only (small) complaint is the inability to pick album, artist etc...

mine broke within two hours of use

suck.

not worth 10$.. sound and build quality is very poor.. the fuse blew up in 3 days but was easy to fix. I would rather save this 10$ and invest in a real cd/mp3/audio player.

you will forget that your ordered this well before it arrives... If you are a true FWer this is not a good deal.

Mine arrived two days ago..and the clarity is great...equal to CD player... I used SD card instead of USB/Iphone. When I connect Iphone, clarity is worst.

Remote was not working...i think battery is dead......

Worth for 10$$$$. I already have Kensington's FM transmitter for iphone...and its not good.

the replacement reached me. tried and it works fine!
the item initially was a DOA. EX agreed to replace it. it took a while to receive the replacement.

Organizing music is not good. I haven't figured if you can choose folders.

Yeah, I don't think it can browse folders.
How do you play random?? I'd certainly like that feature, but can't find it.
Also, my remote only works if held at 2-3 inches away, not farther. Is that normal?

Yes the remote isn't exactly great at operating over long distances. When held only a few inches away it is fairly easy to use and point with sufficient accuracy. When held quite a longer distance away the results are more sporadic and you have to be fairly careful to point it just exactly properly.

Most TV remotes run off of AAA or AA size batteries rather than a tiny lithium coin cell for a reason; they have much more longevity and power output capability and so more powerful (brighter) LEDs can be used and the remote code pattern can be a more robust one given a better battery.

I imagine that one could buy a "universal remote" that could learn or be set to use the codes compatible with these units and have better remote functionality and longevity of batteries by doing so.

If one is a bit technically adept one could replace the Infrared LED with a more powerful one and replace the battery with a more powerful one also for better results, but just accepting the limits of the included unit will often be the best choice.

To get random play you have to Press and HOLD Play for about 2 seconds. If you see the screen I think it will have a little symbol with an S for sequential I think. I then Press and Hold once more and It changes the symbol to R for random.

For the remote, it is finicky but I can now get mine to work from about a foot away. You need to poinnt right at the screen and firmly press the command you want. The remote buttons are not that sensitive so some force is needed.

As for the complaint of this being terrible and worse than the casette adapter I agree because that is considered a hardline connection to the stereo. Many newer cars only have CD players and no Tape players and the only solution to get mp3 is a FM transmitter, or get a new head unit.

I have had many FM transmitters for Ipod and this is the best. No other lets you sequentially pick out the best station. It is very strong. I think it may be past FCC regulations on transmitting power. Good for me. It's a great way to get the mp3 on your car without installing much or alot of wires. By the way 87.9 has been a great station for me to broadcast on.

8gb of my own music on SSDHC random is great!

I had one that didn't work and DealExtreme sent me a new one out. Great customer experience.
