I got this for use with my iPhone 3GS. It works well and holds it securely. I use a frogz case for my phone and it doesn’t make it too bulky. I have a GMC Sierra so there is an extra charging port in addition to the cigarette lighter. When not in use it stores well in the center console.
Like other reviews recommend, I find that for the clearest reception, you need to find a FM station that is unused and turn the volume up on the iPhone/iPod. The sound is clear and comparable to the XM Radio.
The little remote that comes with it lets you pause, go forward, and backward between songs. It also adjusts the radio station setting on the unit up and down. It is easier to do this than reaching over and touching the screen or adjusting the station controls on the top. You don’t have to look and fumble with the controls.
The instructions with the device are limited but it is intuitive to figure out.
It does a lot, and quite well, for the price.

I drive a delivery truck and listen to a lot of podcasts and music in my truck. I used mine all day today and it works great. You may have to go in to your iPod/MP3 player’s EQ settings and hunt down the right one for this transmitter. It’s powerful enough to push past most stations, but some things I listened to sounded very quiet, even with the iPod and in dash stereo at full volume. I set my iPod’s EQ to “spoken word” and it got a lot louder. One drawback I found is that the unit has no station memory, it resets to 88.1 every time it loses power. However, even though we have a local station on 88.1, the transmitter pushed right through it, I couldn’t hear the station’s broadcast at all. So I set my radio to 88.1. That way, I don’t have to reset the frequency each time I turn off the truck. The flex-shaft is strong and stayed in the shape I bent it to, and the cig plug has a great little rubber ring that helps hold the thing in the outlet. I just made it a habit to push it in every so often and it didn’t fall out all day. Your mileage may vary, but for the price, it’s pretty awesome. Before I got this one, my friend loaned me his battery powered one that could only use 4 frequencies and cost over $40, and it was pretty much useless, this one beats it on every level, and at a fraction of the cost.

I had the Belkin Ipod car charger and player for a few years and it finally fell apart on me. So, I found this and for only $13, I was shocked at how great this thing is! It’s way better than the Belkin one I had, which costed 3 times as much. It has a much clearer sound (almost as much clarity as playing a CD in my car). It charges it AND I can use it with my new Droid as a holder because it fits most mp3 players and phones. It is a bit on the heavy side, but I tilted the head back some and it balances just fine, so it doesn’t fall out. I noticed there’s a usb port, which I haven’t looked into what it does, yet. All in all, a great product and highly recommended!

This Transmitter is awesome! It does the job of playing my ipod in my stereo in the car. Great price. Many transmitters like this cost around $80.00. This was a great deal.

Good product. Fits my Ipod gen 5 very well. Holds position in my lighter well & stays out of the way of the shifter. Doesn’t move around too much.
