Digital camera reviews of Coby CA-745 Wireless FM Car Transmitter with Digital Display and DC Car Cigarette Lighter Adapter
Digital camera Review: Coby (go figure!) got it Right
Summary: 5 Stars
I drive for a living, and I love jazz. I also think FM radio is insipid at best, so I've been using wireless transmitters for my CD and now Mp3 player for over 4 yrs. This, so far, is the best. It covers the full FM spectrum, provides power to keep a signal and looks way cool doing it. I always had a low opinion of all things Coby, but they really hit a homerun with this piece of gear. The only question will be, how will it work in 3 or 6 months? If I don't change this review then buy it, by all means. When something works this good for under $20 it's a no-brainer.
Addendum: It's been a couple months now and the unit had been performing very well. Held the signal better than any other wireless FM transmitter I ever tried. Seldom faded and constant strength. But then... just today, I tried using the piggyback adaptor with a 60w converter for a heating pad and it burnt out the Coby. That's why I went into the detailed description: if you use the adaptor let it be for a cellphone or something using less juice. Otherwise it will fry the unit. I ordered another one though as I really enjoyed using it- so in the end that's the highest endorsement I can give.

First, thanks to all that reviewed this product.
I knew that I may have issues but took the risk.
Thanks to Ralph Long "Rocky" for his review. He was right on the money.
There was static when moving it around but when there was no static I was very satisfied. To fix the static and enhance the quality, I took it to a friend and asked him to replace the end and re-solder all connections. He heated and sucked the old solder out and then hot soldered it.
After that it was perfect.
Coby has a good product but garbage quality at the factory. Time to bring back the work to the US.

Received the transmitter, installed it in my car's lighter socket, set the frequency on my radio and it worked exactly as advertised. I use it mostly to listen to books on my MP3 and it has a very good sound. Completely satisfied.Digital camera Review: Coby CA-745 - Review - Excellent Product
Summary: 4 Stars
The COBY wireless FM transmitter is excellent. I changed from a cassette tape based interface to my iPod and the sound quality is virtually the same. Around cell/microwave towers you get some limited interferance, but the flexibility of not having to have tape plugged in is great. Also, my wife's car which would not accept a tape cartrigde interface works great also. Based on the other reviews, I think any problems are probably related to the ability of the car stereo to pick up the signal properly. Great value especially as compared to the other high priced alternatives.
