Worst consumer purchase of my life by Bill
Everything about the way this thing functioned annoyed me. Fortunately for my mental health, part of it broke off in the lighter after about 10 uses and I was plenty content to throw the rest out the window.
I’ll just list some highlights of the stuff I hated because it’s been over a year since I used it.
1. There is a huge delay from when you push a button on this thing until it actually does something.
2. Output level is way lower than the normal radio or cd player level so you have to turn the volume up about 50% more than you would for the other sources. If you forget to turn the volume back down before you unplug this POS or search for a new frequency, you get treated to static or the other source at 50% higher volume than you would normally want.
3. On road trips, even in the middle of nowhere, you have to change the frequency no less than every 15 minutes. In cities, it was pretty much unusable if you were driving through and not just local commuting.
Keep It Simple by V. Mauri
I bought a transmitter for my IPod mini about two years ago. It had four stations and was very simple and easy to use and it worked great!! It seems that simple is no longer an option and I bought this Tunebase FM Transmitter for a friend’s IPod Nano and it has a bunch of options for stations and puts your ipod up high and seems very luxurious.. But it stinks!! i can never find a station without static and its a pain to have look through 100 stations. I am returning the product and will look for something better
Nice design but a little dissapointed with the power by Stewart Sloke
This item allows you to transmit to your radio while you’re charging your iPod battery. It’s user-friendly and the flexible goose neck makes it easy to adjust and see what’s going on even while driving (add note of caution here).
I’m in Los Angeles where there’s more stations than available bandwidth. This makes it hard to find a clear frequency slot. I previously used a Griffin iTrip and was able to use it on three or four station frequencies. I could only find one spot on the radio dial where the Tunebase would work semi-reliably. It’s just not quite powerful enough to cut through the background noise in this over-crowded radio market. Users in smaller radio markets will likely have few if any problems.
Nice Product by A. Whisenant
Best FM transmitter I have used so far with my Ipod sound quality is much better than other brands I have used. Its well worth the steep price tag
