I can play my video ipod in this device easily and it holds it very well. The problem is the same problem with all these devices. There is still too much static and the FM channels are pretty crowded already. I hope the technology develops into better forms in the future. This device is a good way to go for now. I have a good holder for my ipod and it plays well.

Ipod Iphone Fm Transmitter Charger Holder Car Dock Kit Review

Ipod Iphone Fm Transmitter Charger Holder Car Dock Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I first hooked this up to my iPod, it worked as expected...the first time. I used it for about 20 minutes. The second time, about 10 minutes into using it the FM transmitter seemed to stop transmitting. I made sure it was completely in the 12V outlet and all the connections were secure, and it was on the right FM frequency. Even without the iPod attached, there should be silence on the frequency on which it's transmitting, but it was just static. The charging part of it still works fine. The FM transmitter works off and on for apparently no reason. Even when it is transmitting, the cord that goes to the headphone jack is very spotty - you have to turn it around in the jack just right or you only get sound to one side of the car or there's a lot of static. My headphones work just fine, so it's not the jack on the iPod. When it's actually transmitting and everything is adjusted just right, it sounds great. I'd return it, but for $9 it's not even worth paying the return shipping. So, if you're looking for a charger, it works fine. If you're looking for an FM transmitter, I'd look elsewhere.

XtremeMac IPV-APV-00 AirPlay Boost FM Transmitter for iPod Video (White) Review

XtremeMac IPV-APV-00 AirPlay Boost FM Transmitter for iPod Video (White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just got this and here's my take:
Pros:
- Good sound quality
- Sleek and attractive looking
- Pretty easy to use
- It will override a station with a slight signal, such as my 87.9 FM which in NYC has some interference on it when the ipod is not playing.
Cons:
- Signal distance is very short. This thing tops out at a distance of like 1-2 feet max. I ended up putting it on top of my radio where it worked fine.
- My biggest beef is that it will not fit into my ipod with the case (Capdase silicone) still on. If it fit in with the case on, I would probably give it 4 stars.

XtremeMac Airplay Boost FM Transmitter for iPod nano 2G (Black) Review

XtremeMac Airplay Boost FM Transmitter for iPod nano 2G (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had tried several other FM transmitters for my iPod Nano 2G but all failed to pass muster. Be it ease of use, excessive static or simply poor construction they all suffered from deficiencies that rendered them unusable. With the AirPlay Boost however I have been very satisfied with its performance. The default frequency (87.9 MHz) was fine for my area (Tampa, a big but sprawling metropolitan area). My primary use will be in my car and for that scenario it worked well. There was static discernible but I would go so far as to say that it was less than most radio stations. The telescoping antenna was a little flimsier than expected but not so much so that I am concerned about its durability. I am glad it is telescoping as my iPod would not fit in its protective case otherwise. The inclusion of a pass through charging connector at the bottom of the transmitter is a nice feature. The case design of the transmitter blends well with the case of the iPod Nano 2G. I would recommend this product to others.

Sharp DKA1 i-Elegance Music System with Alarm Clock for iPod (White) Review

Sharp DKA1 i-Elegance Music System with Alarm Clock for iPod (White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Sharp DK-A1 is a solid choice if looking for a way to play your I-pod externally. The positives include: very good sound. My sister has the Bose sound system for her I-pod which costs over twice as much from what I paid, but does not sound any better. The Sharp casts very deep, full sound, with lots of base for such a small unit. The E-sound button magnifies the bass nicely, but will become distorted, if the sound is too loud with it on. The illuminated blue lights are a nice touch and look great at night. The general design is nicely laid out. The negatives are: Limited range with the remote. I can only use the remote if I am within 6 ft of the console. In addition I am unable to change the play lists from the remote. It will only control the sound level and allow you to change the songs from the same play lists. I would have liked if this system had a handle to carry it from room to room and had a built in antenna, rather than the external wires which are a nuance to disconnect and reconnect when moving the system. The display panel in the front of the unit only says I-pod when the I-pod is in use, rather than display the artist and song playing. You need to look at the display of the I-pod to get this information which isn't nearly as visible as the display on the unit. Also, the AM radio only gets adequate reception. In general, I do recommend the Sharp DK-A1 as it does deliver very good sound at an affordable price but wish it had better thought out features.

The Sharp i-Elegance line of docking speaker systems turns your personal iPod into a stereo jukebox for all your friends and family to enjoy. Compatible with every iPod that incorporates a 30-pin dock connector, the system plays and charges your iPod simultaneously, making it easy to enjoy your favorite tunes whether lounging on the patio or cooking in the kitchen. The i-Elegance is equipped with a pair of front-firing, full-range speakers and two side-firing subwoofers, which combine to produce crisp, crystal-clear highs and mids and a deep, powerful bass performance. Adding to the audio versatility is a six-step electronic equalizer that customizes the sound based on the music genre, along with an E-sound mode that improves the quality of compressed digital sound. The latter feature is great for digital music formats, as it reverses the deterioration that results from compression technologies by enhancing the sound frequency spectrum and increasing the sound pressure.
The i-Elegance also includes a digital AM/FM tuner that picks up all your favorite stations, with 32 station presets for quick and efficient tuning. The built-in alarm, meanwhile, lets you wake to your favorite iPod selections or a buzzing alarm (other alarm options include a sleep timer and a programmed shutoff mode). And users will love the system's compact remote control, which lets them control all the functions of the i-Elegance from across the room. Additional details include an RCA video output jack for connecting the system to a TV or monitor, an auxiliary input for connecting an MP3 player or personal CD player, and an easy-to-read fluorescent display.
The i-Elegance system measures 15.75 by 5.75 by 9.88 inches (W x H x D), weighs 9.5 pounds, and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Kensington LiquidFM Transmitter for iPod Review

Average Reviews:

Avoid this product at all costs. We have now tried this thing on two different iPods (Mini and Nano) and it works horribly for both. We have also tried this in two different cars. The problem? The signal is very faint no matter what FM channel you try. In order to get it to work, you have to stretch out the cable and hold it over your head. When it does work, the sound volume is so low that the music is unlistenable. Even adjusting the volume on the iPod has no effect. I have tried multiple FM stations and have had no luck. These are the same stations that work fine for a Sirius radio I have that broadcasts over FM. Stay away from this product at all costs. It simply just doesn't work. We will be returning the product.

DLO TransPod All-in-One Car Solution for iPod White Review

DLO TransPod All-in-One Car Solution for iPod White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is not my first attempt at finding an FM transmitter, but so far it's the best solution I've found.
My first try was with an iTrip and a Belkin car charger for my 4G iPod. I also needed a Belkin TuneDock to hold everything. Because the iTrip looked cool and was very portable I tended to overlook its very poor sound and frequent signal drift. The fact that you can not just tune the iTrip on the fly made this more and more of an issue. If you lost a station, you had to stop whatever was playing and go select another iTrip station by playing it on the iPod. Not convenient. Then the iTrip and charge both stopped working - so I started shopping.
Next, I tried a Soundfeeder. This has a manual tuning knob so at least I could tune around signal drift. But this was a hassle and it ran on AA batteries and the signal really degraded as the battery wore out. So, I went for the "All-in-one" solution...
The Transpod just works! I have had absolutely ZERO signal drift. This is on the same station and the same commute I did hundreds of times with the iTrip and Soundfeeder, and they faded or had dead spots a few times per trip. So, I am a big fan of the signal. The dock with its built in charging and tuning buttons is a very big plus. No used cupholders from the TuneDock and the adjustable arms allowed me to place the dock as out of the way as needed. I haven't had to tune to a new station (have I mentioned how great that is), but if I did, the buttons are right there. Now, I have had the iPod bump out of the dock and cause the sound in the left speakers to die before I pushed it back down, but I can live with that. Also, the adjustable arms are not exactly "sexy". It's a bit clunky, but I was after FUNCTION and I just wanted to stop having to adjust things while driving instead of listening. I don't have any issue with the quality of the material.
PROS: Signal strength; All-in-one transmitter, charger, holder minimizes hassle; ease of tuning; adjustable arm for positioning
CON: Not very attractive with all the arms snaking up your console. Not "ugly", just sort of "low-tech".
That CON was not enough for me to lower the 5-star ranking.

My experience is pretty much what other reviewers have listed.
The rapid seek function only finds stations that are already broadcasting loud and clear music.
Even when you can find a station manually that you can hear the ipod through (a very rare event), it is so quiet that you have to crank up the volume, making the static significantly louder than the music. It sounds terrible.
I don't see how anyone could give this 5 stars unless they are receiving a completely different product. The performance is so dismal that simple difference-of-opinion cannot explain it.

DLO TransDock Micro FM Transmitter for iPod (Black) Review

DLO TransDock Micro FM Transmitter for iPod (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the DLO TransDock Micro in order to be able to listen to my 60 GB Video Ipod as I drive around in my vehicle. After using this device for about a month now, I am extremely pleased with its performance. The audio coming through my vehicle's radio using this device with my Ipod is outstanding, with no hiss or other interferences. I prefer this device over other FM transmitters/chargers because it allows you to place your Ipod just about anywhere in your vehicle where it is convenient, due to the long cord on the device. The use of the cord on this device, as compared to other FM transmitters which require you to place your Ipod in/on the device, also allows me to keep the protective case on my Ipod at all times. The DLO TransDock Micro is a great addition to any compatible Ipod.

XtremeMac IPU-IFM-10 InCharge FM Wireless Transmitter for iPod - Black Review

XtremeMac IPU-IFM-10 InCharge FM Wireless Transmitter for iPod - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Review from iLounge. This is the review I used to qualify this purchase. I had written a manual review prior to this but it seems Amazon 'lost' my review. So, I'm reviewing it again the lazy way. I hope you find it informative. I was originally considering the Monster or the Belkin brand prior to this purchase. Now, I'm glad I went with this purchase instead.
Surprises -- particularly good ones -- are very rare in FM transmitters these days, as the Federal Communications Commission's crackdown on overpowered radio broadcasting devices has compelled many companies to broadcast just within the U.S. government's legal limitations. Over the past year, we've become familiar enough with those limitations that it seems obvious when a device is unhappily struggling to match them or blowing right past the marks, hoping not to get caught. Though we might be wrong, XtremeMac's combination FM transmitter and car charger InCharge FM ($70) seems to be in the latter category: two sample units we tested outperformed recent FCC compliant transmitters we've tested by a fair margin.
Like the earlier InCharge Auto, InCharge FM appears to have been designed to physically match the iPhone, using chrome and black plastic in an attractive, minimalist combination for each of its key parts. First, there's a car charging bulb with a subtle blue light to indicate that it's receiving power, and second, there's a cabled FM transmitter that connects to an iPod with a Dock Connector plug at one end, and a case-compatible USB plug for charging at the other. InCharge FM doesn't run off of the iPod's battery, and so depends on the cabled transmitter to be connected to the charging bulb, or a USB-enabled computer or wall charger, for power.
This latter point deserves a little extra attention. Virtually every one of the "in-car" FM transmitters we've tested over the past few years is "only in-car," with the manufacturer assuming--probably correctly--that you're only interested in hearing your iPod's audio through a radio when you're driving. Because you can pull the car charger off and connect InCharge FM to any powered USB port or wall charger, this one can be used indoors too, which will be a bonus for people who want to charge and hear their iPods through home radios without using a dock or wires. Our one and only issue with XtremeMac's connectors was a slightly loose right lock on our second review unit's Dock Connector, which didn't interfere with the unit's performance.
XtremeMac's transmitter looks like a pill-shaped miniature iPhone, with buttons on its face and sides, plus a blue LED screen where the iPhone's touchscreen would be. A play/pause/next track button for iPod touch and a stereo/mono toggle switch are accessible on one side of the transmitter, while the other side has two preset buttons, and the face has manual tuning buttons for the transmitter. The screen's only for numbers, and keeps at least the bright blue decimal dot on display whenever power's running through the transmitter, as well as matching digits whenever an iPod or iPhone is connected. The currently shipping version of InCharge FM is only iPod-compatible, bringing up the iPhone's nag screen, but a nagless version is planned for near future release as well. Nag aside, both of the review units we tested worked extremely well with the iPhone.
In fact, the units worked extremely well with anything we connected. XtremeMac says that the InCharge FMs use a licensed FM transmission technology called Quintic PureFM that promises "a consistently clean signal and excellent dynamic range," and though the units we tested weren't immune to the subtle static levels that persist in all FM transmitters, they did in fact sound great--especially when tuned to everclear station 87.9FM. We preferred the dynamic sound of the InCharge FM to what we heard from Belkin's TuneCast Auto, as well as Griffin's most recent iTrip Auto--on good or bad stations, XtremeMac's transmitter sounded clearer.
To quantify this a bit more, on an empty FM station such as 87.9FM, InCharge FM sounded almost completely clear, which wasn't a shock, but it also had the ability to basically flood out an existing station that was weak to moderate on the dial, and didn't suffer as much from the transmitter's location in our test vehicle as the others. We were also able to get a clear signal from five feet away from the antenna indoors. While these are positive performance characteristics that any end user would appreciate, they're also hints that the transmitter is like a track runner on steroids, capable of outperforming its rivals but also leaving us wondering how long it would remain in competition.
Overall, we can't help but be impressed by the overall performance and value the current version of InCharge FM brings to the table. Bucking past XtremeMac pricing trends, it sells for $10 less than its key competitors, but still manages to outperform them on sound, and look great in the process. Its ability to work indoors, using a USB charger or computer for power, also adds value for some users. From a features standpoint, all it's conspicuously missing is Belkin's ClearScan or Griffin's SmartScan auto-tuning feature, and then, its inclusion of near-universally-empty 87.9FM on the dial all but eliminates the need for tuning.

Monster A-IP-FM-CH-PS Wireless FM Transmitter Review

Monster A-IP-FM-CH-PS Wireless FM Transmitter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, people are getting this transmitter confused with the previous Monster FM transmitter. You are NOT limited to only 8 stations. This transmitter allows you to program in ANY station you choose, and it's very easy to do so.
Pros:
You can program in any station! The stations are NOT predetermined so any empty station you find, just program it in and youre set to go, which makes this perfect for road trips.
Charges up your iPod while you go.
You can set three 'favourite' stations so you can switch back and forth between a couple if one goes out.
Very simple and easy to use. Not a lot of cords to get tangled up.
Cons
Every FM transmitter you buy for your iPod is going to have a loss in sound quality. It is NOT going to sound like youre playing a CD. It sounds like the radio.
No dock or anything to set the little station switcher on. I would've like even a double sided sticker mount so I could stick it to the dash or something instead of it hanging there, but I'm really just being picky here.
Finding a station in the surrounding Cleveland area was tough! There are hardly any completely static stations (I never realized how many darn country stations there are here, yeesh.) So far I have found 4 open stations. However, this is NOT the companys fault. Finding a clear open station is soley going to depend on where you live and where you are when you drive.
I found 3 completely open static stations starting at 87.5 and up. OF COURSE, this FM transmitter starts at 88.1. Grrr. But it wasn't a problem because in the end I was able to find 4 open ones throughout the spectrum. However, it would've been nice if it started at 87.5.
Okay this is COMPLETELY an aesthetic complaint but I dislike red LED lights. My car has blue so it doesn't match, but once again, that is completely nitpicking.
All in all, this is worth the money. It really is a must if you want to play your iPod on the road, but don't expect it to sound like your surround sound home theatre system. It is an FM transmitter.

iCraig Alarm Clock Stereo Radio- CMA3004 Review

iCraig Alarm Clock Stereo Radio- CMA3004
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product was purchased for my 11 yr old daughter to be used with her first i-Pod Nano.
Pros: Non I can think of at the moment.
Cons: Neon blue light is too bright and there's no dimmer switch...also the color scheme make the it difficult to read from any distance over 5 feet or so. Ours does not charge the i-POD as advertised. Sound is terrible...She gets better sound from her i-Dog. The alarm doesn't work...we set it for a time and the alarm either goes off minutes after the set time or it doesn't go off at all. The radio antenna...what's with the wire. I haven't seen that since the 80's. Why can't they make a better internal antenna? My clock radio doesn't have that and I get fantastic FM reception. All told, I would suggest selecting another brand or paying a little more and getting something better.

DreamGear i.Sound MAX with Wireless Remote Control (Black) Review

DreamGear i.Sound MAX with Wireless Remote Control (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My only complaint is that you cannot find a store anywhere carrying this item (at least where I live)to preview the sound and whatnot. However, upon receiving this little beast I was pleasantly surprised. BIG sound from such a small package. As to be expected from most portable speakers this small, the lack of big booming bass is evident, however, the remaining range is quite broad and crystal clear. Where this small monster excels is in its broad sound stage. No matter where I place it, even listening off to one side or the other, this beast paints a pretty broad sound stage. No notable off-center loss of any kind. Also, as some of the reviews out there noted, this thing has a truly high level of i-pod integration. Every adapter for every iPod imaginable is in the box, and man do they slip on easily. You can also update via computer with supplied cord but I don't do this since you have to place near your computer. Mine's in the bedroom currently. Supplied manual leaves something to be desired but what is lacking in instruction can be easily figured out. Just remember to place your iPod in one of the music modes such as "playlist" or "artists" prior to placing in the i.sound max. It does not default to music when placed in the stand and doing this gives you full access to the music. Highly recommended!!! Enjoy!!

Almost as small as the iPod itself, the DreamGear i.Sound MAX speaker systemmakes a handy addition to your iPod accessory collection. The speaker system is builtaround an integrated docking station and a series of nine docking spacers for various- sized iPods. Together, the spacers and docking station can hold, charge, and sync mostnew iPods, including the iPod 3G, 4G, video, photo, mini, and nano. Listeners with olderiPods aren't left out of the loop, however, as the i.Sound MAX also offers an extra line-ininput for attaching non-dockable iPods (like the first-generation iPod and the iPodshuffle) along with other MP3 players and personal CD players.
The i.Sound MAX may be small, but it delivers a crisp sound thanks to its quartet of full- range 1.25-inch neodymium drivers, which produce an overall frequency response of180 Hz to 20 kHz. As a result, the speaker system makes a great companion in thegarage, on the back patio, or at a friend's barbecue. The real star of the i.Sound MAX,however, is its robust remote control, which offers dedicated buttons for a variety ofiPod features, including buttons for scrolling through playlists, browsing albums, orselecting shuffle or repeat play modes. The remote gives the i.Sound MAX far moreflexibility than most competing iPod speaker systems.
Other features include metal grilles for extra durability, a blue LED power indicator, adigital volume control, and a bass enhancement button. The black i.Sound MAX, whichruns on four AA batteries (not included) or AC power (adapter included), measures 10by 5.5 by 5.5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 120-day warranty.
What's in the Box i.Sound MAX speaker system, remote control, AC adapter, external audio cable, nineiPod docking spacers, user's manual.

Griffin iFM Radio, Remote, and Recorder for iPod Review

Griffin iFM Radio, Remote, and Recorder for iPod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The iFM remote worked great for about 4-5 days then the cord that connects to the ipod broke just like another customer reported. The thing now only plays the radio and thats it. No remote functions or recording. The cord seems to be made of really chep plastic. Then another thing is the iFM is just plain ugly to have attached to my jacket, because it has these two cords coming out one end of the controller looking like a jungle has attacked my ipod. Basically I wouldn't buy it again. Nice concept poor materials.
