Digital camera reviews of Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Car Charger for iPod
Digital camera Review: It Works
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many of the other reviewers, my car is incapable of a direct mp3 connection. I tried one of those tapes. Epic fail. Loads of annoying staticy noises. Tried a different tape brand, still nope. Went to Best Buy, selected the most expensive FM transmitter intending just to see if anything would work. The Belkin Clearscan worked, not good enough tho. Returned, got my $80 back. Started researching on amazon, going through all the transmitter ratings. Figured the highest percentage of 5 Stars would do the trick, which was the Kensington by a large margin.
Shipping was crazy fast. Very easy to work. The buttons have a slight Made in China feel. But small matter. Given my car's antena (1998 Lexus GS300) is hidden at the top of the rear window, aka: middling radio reception, the Kensington is amazing. Oddly it works best keeping my iPod in the center of the car and parking garages interfere. On open roads, sound is very clear. Charging and transmitting is a sweet deal.
This Kensington rocks my car!
