3 of 5 Transmitted signal not strong Sunday, July 20, 2008
A Customer from St Louis, MO
I had Belkin Tunecast 2 which was great for me but after a year, it started working only intermittently. I thot I spoiled it because I had left it in the car during the summer season.
Anyways, I was on the lookout for a new one & then got this Tunecast 3 because of its portability - can be used on batteries. Initially, I did not get a good signal. Sometimes, my stereo tune search would not stop at the frequency the transmitter is transmitting at.
The work around I had to do was to remove the antenna of my car!! Now, it works fine but sometimes there is scratchy noise in the background just like a radio station would have.
Another let down is that the device does not turn up automatically when it senses an input signal. Tunecast 2 had this feature. Was this review helpful?

2 of 5 So-so product Tuesday, March 18, 2008
Scott from Chambersburg, PA
Works OK, but must be placed fairly close to the antenna and in the right position. The cord wires are pretty fine (flimsy) and will most likely wear out rapidly. It's a little unwieldy dealing with the unit placement, the wires, the unit itself, the mp3 player and batteries, especially when trying to drive, change the station (for better signal) and choosing songs. If the product had a stronger signal output and connected directly to the mp3 player (maybe some type of cradle connection rather than a wire and jack) it would be much better. If I had to do it over again, I would save my money. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Better than Tunecast 2 but still has same weakness Thursday, February 07, 2008
A Customer from Pittsburgh, PA
So, I was looking for an FM transmitter to replace my smashed Belkin Tunecast 2 and came across the Tunecast 3. First off, the display is WONDERFUL compared to the old one, and I like the 20" length of the cable. It's nice to be able to pick up my iPod without dragging the transmitter along with it. Also, the dash mounting bracket is a great idea.
So, the downside is and I noticed this in the Tunecast 2 as well, is that in order to get a good reception on your vehicle the Tunecast power needs to be plugged in to your cigarette lighter. Running the Tunecast on the 2 AAA batteries produces unacceptable static, but after plugging it in, you get pretty good reception. I'm thinking that this might be that the 3v it gets from AAA batteries is insufficient for good transmission. (nerd alert!) Was this review helpful?

This program is not overally difficult to use but had some trouble making playlist. Instructions were not very helpful. Once I figured out the secret behind this program it was okay. Was this review helpful?
2 of 5 Should be better Wednesday, June 06, 2007
Scott from Chambersburg, PA
Bought this with the idea that the Tunecast3 should be better than the TunecastII. Performance was poor--inconsistant signal and lots of interference. Maybe it would work better in an area with few radio stations. My antenna is in the back of my car and I had to hold the Tunecast3 up with my right hand stretched into the back seat while driving to get a decent signal. As soon as I laid it down, the quality fell dramatically. I should have tried the TunecastII for half the cost, but I read similar reviews for it. Good potential, but needs work.
