This device was a waste of money. I have gone back to a wired tape deck adapter. This transmitter was way too weak to perform adequately in my car. If not held within 2-3" on the radio or by the back window embedded antenna, the radio would not pick it up.
The "Tunecast" also has low interference with good strong batteries. Having a fresh strong new set of batteries in the unit helps to get better performance. The audio cord coming from "TuneCast" for your mp3, or CD could stand to be a little bit longer but overall this was a good unit for the price. This unit was better than most but could be better if Belkin would offer about three more frequencies. This unit does seem to connect to the station that is selected pretty good, even if it is a strong or week broadcast already on that station.
I would recommend spending a little more money on a griffin model (I've had success with iTrip) or a higher quality belkin model (just guessing on this one). Second, even when travelling where there frequencies are open, the transmission power of this thing is near zero. It would not work in the car, and even on my home stereo I pretty much had to have the antenna touching the transmitter to get a clear signal. I picked up the item on a special deal, figured it was worth a try. Good luck. First, you can only select between 4 frequencies. I've had two major problems. It just so happens that all 4 frequencies were somewhat 'occupied' in my area.
Lot's of static if you even nudge the transmitter. Pros: It's cheap. It's dead simple to set up and use, so when it doesn't work they'll start pulling out hair trying to figure out why until they realize that the unit just doesn't work as you'd think. Frequently *goes dead silent*; I have 3 units and they're all identical in this respect.I hate to say "you get what you pay for" because you don't even get that much with this thing.It is, however, a great gift to give to someone you don't like or want to irritate for a few hours. I got 3 of them for about $10 dollars somewhere.Cons: A waste of my $10 dollars. Sound quality is fuzzy at best, even when it's sitting less than 5 feet away from the radio.
At any distance other than two feet it did not work at all. I gave it one star because I am not out that much money.
Don't buy product. I don't see how companies can put out stuff like this.
Brand new batteries, I had to sit with in two feet of the antenna. For the folks that get this to work " more power to them " but really, this does not work.
Thank you. Then is worked fine.
The signals coming in on 88.5 were practically non existent.
