Digital camera reviews of Zune Car Charger
Digital camera Review: If you are having problems, try this
Summary: 4 Stars
At first I was disappointed with this product. Using the lighter outlet on the dash, I could find a decent frequency to use, but would catch a lot of bleed over occaisionally. Which is less than ideal.
I decided to try the other lighter outlet which is located between the front seats. Here, the product works great. No problem what-so-ever. Apparently, this is set up to use existing wiring/metal to increase the dipole size of the basically non-existent antenna.
If you do not have a 2nd outlet there is another trick you can use. Purchase a lighter outlet extension cord and drape it over your rear view mirror, or anything which won't obstruct your vision. This will assist in increasing the dipole length to give you a better transmission.
Comparing with the Belkin product; The Belkin appears to transmit a little bit better, but there also seems to be a loss in Db quality. Although the sound is clear, I have to adjust my volume almost all the way up, which brings down the quality of sound. After figuring out the Zune car charger, I prefer to use the Zune product, even though it doesn't have the convinient holder.
