i hear static from the station on certain channels if the radio volume is turned up very much. i can change the station and that will resolve it on most occassions. i think this is a great product for the price that i paid.

I am writing this review with trepidation, because I'm afraid I'll hex my new FM transmitter. I live in the New York City metro area where we literally have no free radio frequencies. I picked up this transmitter on Friday (today is Monday) and it works well so far. I have been using it on 107.7. In addition to driving locally, I drove to Exit 5 on the NJ turnpike today and had excellent reception the entire way. I cannot vouch for sound quality, as I only listen to downloaded books. I don't know how it works for music. The other 2 transmitters I had (which each lasted about 6 months) did not have an on/off switch and I think putting it in and taking it out of the power source may have caused the contacts to weaken. I do like the on/off switch. I keep it plugged in all the time, and just shut it off. The one disadvantage is the size and the placement of my power source. Unfortunately it's not on the dash but on the console and the transmitter is partially blocking one of the cup holders. But this is a minor convenience compared to the quality of sound. I am reserving the right to check back in at some point in the future if the quality ends up failing!
Useless on all counts... October 18, 2008

Macally PodFM Transmitter for iPod (White)
A totally useless piece of equipment. Even at full volume, could hardly hear the transmission. Tried 4 different radios, 2 of which having significant amplifiers, at various frequencies, all I managed to pick up was a very faint signal but lots of static.
Waste of money.
I messed up October 16, 2008

I purchased this unit in order to listen to some lectures that were on CD. Upon receiving it I opened it and plugged it into the cigarette lighter and it appeared to work even though I didn't try to listen to anything at that point. When I went to use it several days later and it was DOA.
Since it seemed to work I had disposed of the packaging and see no way to exchange it now. My mistake.
Sorry for the poor review, but I am disappointed to say the least.
The best iPod Transmitter I've seen June 13, 2008

Strong signal so that your music isn't constantly static filled or worse. I've tried other brands, but this one is simply the best.
