4 of 5 Works pretty well. Saturday, May 09, 2009
David H. from Bishop, CA
I bought this model of FM transmitter after having tried a Jensen that worked poorly. I then read online reviews of various FM transmitters and this one seemed to receive the best reviews.
It's head & shoulders better than the previous model I had used. It does get interference if traveling right next to high voltage lines, but otherwise sounds good without static, for the most part.
Overall I'm very pleased with the unit and it's probably the best solution out there, short of being able to connect my iPod directly to the radio. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Great sound, little static Tuesday, March 10, 2009
A Customer from Mountain View, California
Works great in the northern California South Bay area, despite a very crowded FM band. 93.1 works well and has very little static. It helps when I put the iPod in the back seat so that the transmitter is closer to my car's antenna and the cord is stretched.
The two channel preset buttons are very helpful, in case you travel to places where a different station works better.
Very compact and convenient. Was this review helpful?
3 of 5 Crowded Radio = Lousy Audio Saturday, December 13, 2008
Displeased from Orange, CA
I went with the ExtremeMac IPD-IFM-10 after returning a Griffin product. This was due to the Griffin sounding so bad and lacking the "claimed" ability to charge my "New Generation" Nano 4g, AND because of the many great reviews the ExtremeMac received. The ExtremeMac was touted as being able to tune lower than "standard" broadcast stations and therefore into "clear air". What I found, however is that Orange County Ca. has "a very crowded F.M. spectrum which causes adjacent channel interference" with EVERY lesser powered F.M. transmitter. In short, this device is simply too weak to "find clear air" on any radio dial in L.A./O.C. I liked the design, but am displeased again with fuzzy audio and clipped volume produced as a result of this interference. I think there may be no better choice as far as Transmitters go because it DOES charge the 4g Nano, but my $9.79 cassette tape adapter sounds SO much better. Save your money if your F.M. dial is as crowded as mine. ALSO: There should be a performance disclaimer on ALL F.M. transmitters sold in crowded radio markets. Was this review helpful?
