Digital camera reviews of Kensington 33199 Digital FM Transmitter and Auto Charger for iPod (Black)
Digital camera Review: Clearly, the best so far
Summary: 4 Stars
This is definitely the best FM transmitter I have ever heard for my iPod. It transmits with a strong frequency that seems to overpower most (bot not all) other "noise" on a particular station setting. Very easy to operate - just plug it in, pick a station, and press play. The sound is very clear and with a little adjusting on my car's audio controlls (bass and treble) I can get the sound just how I like it. Definitely worth the purchase!Digital camera Review: Compact, but Super!
Summary: 5 Stars
Very compact tuner/plug, but great recption, no static and I live in the Atlanta,GA. metro area. It charges my I-Pod quickly. Very simple to use.Digital camera Review: Convenient little product
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this item for my husband for Father's Day this year. What prompted my purchase? Well, I bought him a really nice iPod for his birthday right before our big Europe trip - and really - since then - he doesn't get an opportunity to use his iPod. He doesn't travel for work, he doesn't go to the gym to workout, etc... Right when his gift arrived, he got it set up in his vehicle (very easy set-up). Worked like a charm from the start. He said some of the music doesn't come through quite as clearly as he'd like - but having experienced it myself - I haven't noticed any of that. We live in the Twin Cities, and haven't run into any interference w/ other radio stations.
If you don't want to spend the money to hard-wire your iPod into your vehicle, I would definitely recommend this device. It's very reasonably priced, in my opinion, and really convenient. I like too that we can swap out his & my iPods - as we have different taste in music.
Digital camera Review: Cord makes great antenna
Summary: 4 Stars
At first... static was annoying. Learned that if I placed the iPod above me in the nook made by the visor... the cord (being raised) proved to be the secret solution. No more static now and can slip from any of the three FM stations with ease.Digital camera Review: Defective Unit- Horrible Customer Service
Summary: 1 Stars
When I hooked my 3G Nano up to my car with the 33199, I heard music for 1 sec before it went dead and froze the I-pod. Resetting the I-pod restored it but the same thing continually happened. Tried it in another car...same thing. Calling customer service will take you to some far-away land where people have extreme difficulty comprehending english and are flummoxed if you say anything that is not in one of there 'scripts'. After phoenetically spelling my name,address, e-mail, etc at least 3 times before they had it correct, they are hopefully sending me a new unit....BUT the service rep said THEY NO LONGER MAKE MODEL 33199, AND ARE REPLACING IT WITH MODEL 33411,
so I wouldn't even bother ordering this unit, and my experience with technical service was so frustrating, I will never buy a Kensington product again.
