Digital camera reviews of Kensington 33199 Digital FM Transmitter and Auto Charger for iPod (Black)
Digital camera Review: Better than expected!
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent sound! Use 107.3 in the Orange County area and it sounds almost perfect. Some fuzziness between songs but no fuzziness or static while playing.Digital camera Review: Brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
This 2-in-1 device is brilliant. Kudos! It is really a bargain because if you have to buy these things independently, they will cost a lot more. I am very pleased with the quality and reliability of this digital transmitter and auto charger and highly recommend it.Digital camera Review: Buyer Beware!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was so happy when I purchased the Kensington 33199 Digital FM transmitter and Auto Charger. Within two days after I received it, I became sick to my stomach. The darned thing fried my IPOD Nano. I read the reviews before I purchased and it seemed to be exactly what I wanted. I had returned two earlier purchased products that I got from Walmart, because there was too much noise, and while in the city I could not even find a good FM channel with no drift and fade. This product certainly delivered there. But I did not see any warning that I could not leave the product plugged in with my IPOD attached. The third time that I turned it on, it played for about a minute and then stopped. I looked down just in time to see the battery ICON in the IPOD disappear and I knew that my IPOD was fried. I was so happy after purchasing the tuner that I had thrown out all the shipping material. Foolishly. Now I can't even return the product, I am sure that they won't take it back. I learned a hard lesson. But you don't have to make that mistake.Digital camera Review: Can tune this one down to 87.9 (or lower)
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought and returned two other digital FM transmitters for my iPod before discovered this one. The "easter egg" that allows you to tune down to 87.9 or 87.5 (just tune up from 107.9 while holding down the two right set buttons - don't try this while driving!) is a lifesaver in an urban area with a crowded FM band. The ones that are tuneable from 88.1 up really suck here in Atlanta.Digital camera Review: Can't read the screen ...
Summary: 2 Stars
This product does what it is supposed to do, which is transmit the songs clearly, BUT, the LCD which prints the station it is tuned to is not readable from any angle other than direct. I have two plugs in my car for the unit to plug into, and neither is a straight line from the drivers line of vision, which means I have to twist my head around (and in the case with one of the power adapters, lay my head on the seat) to read what it is saying on the LCD.
2 stars for have decent FM transmit functionality, but using a cheap LCD for programming it.
