Digital camera reviews of Zune Car Pack FM transmitter (Black)
Digital camera Review: Charger almost worth the price, FM modulator is trash
Summary: 3 Stars
The pack includes a cigarette lighter charger for the Zune as well as an FM modulator. The FM modulator is useless. Even if you can get a good signal from it by sticking it right up against the antenna, you will have to get back into the car when it's moving. Really, it's that bad. But the charger almost makes it worthwhile because you can listen to the Zune pretty muchZune Car Pack indefinitely. There is one caveat, or rather two. First, the 12v plug does not sit firm in the lighter socket and can break contact. Second, the coiled wire neccesitates having the Zune very close to the socket or risk having either the plug pop out of the socket or the Zune take a quick trip towards the outlet. Luckily, the plug doesn't fit firmly so the former is more common than the latter.Digital camera Review: Charger is fine, Transmitter is awful

There is absolutley nothing wrong with the car charger. It works fine. However the fm transmitter has 2 problems for me. 1 -- The connector is not long enough to connect through many of the protective cases made for Zune so you have to take it out of the case. 2 -- The signal is VERY WEAK and did not work for me in either of my cars. I ended up buyin a cassette adapter which worked much better and there was a 100% better sound quality.Digital camera Review: Charger makes noise. Transmitter doesn't have good range

The car charger will make a noise from the alternator everytime you charge and listen to your device. Be advice that the FM transmiter won't cover the car area well at all. The power is very very low and you will still receive in your radio noise in the background, regardless of a free frecuency or not. Product needs to be more powerful to operate correctly. Charger needs to be better filter in order not to have noise from the alternator.Digital camera Review: Complete waste of money

Stay away from this car pack. I don't feel too bad about cause it was on [...] bucks but ya don't expect cheap prices to yield quality. All static in my Mini Cooper with a faint song playing through the static. GARBAGE! I could have bought a pack of smokes and got more satisfaction.Digital camera Review: Could be Better
Summary: 3 Stars
I wasn't overly impressed with the transmitter...at least with my Volvo XC90. I'd set a station and it would work for a day or so then I'd get nothing but static. I bought a mount to hold my ZUNE and that seemed to help for a bit. Now I'm finding that I have to readjust the position of the power cord to get a good signal to transmit through my radio...I also have a dual headrest intertainment system that uses an FM transmitter and I don't have any problems with that at all. I tried shutting down the monitors so that the video system transmitter was off and that didn't seem to help. This transmitter may work wonderfully with a less technical audio system and when I get the chance to try it in another vehicle I'll come back and update.
