User Comments about the Macally PodFM Transmitter for iPod (White)

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



I do like the on/off switch. I live in the New York City metro area where we literally have no free radio frequencies. Unfortunately it's not on the dash but on the console and the transmitter is partially blocking one of the cup holders. 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.


But this is a minor convenience compared to the quality of sound. I don't know how it works for music.


In addition to driving locally, I drove to Exit 5 on the NJ turnpike today and had excellent reception the entire way. 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. I am writing this review with trepidation, because I'm afraid I'll hex my new FM transmitter.


I cannot vouch for sound quality, as I only listen to downloaded books. I picked up this transmitter on Friday (today is Monday) and it works well so far.


I have been using it on 107.7. I am reserving the right to check back in at some point in the future if the quality ends up failing.



Even at full volume, could hardly hear the transmission. Macally PodFM Transmitter for iPod (White)A totally useless piece of equipment. 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.



Since it seemed to work I had disposed of the packaging and see no way to exchange it now. When I went to use it several days later and it was DOA. 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. My mistake.Sorry for the poor review, but I am disappointed to say the least.



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.
