Gift for son who is happy with it when it comes in clear, which isn't often enough especially for the Price.

I am satisfied with this purchase overall. My only complaint is that it can sometimes be hard to hear the music while the windows are down on the highway but this is more than likely due to a combination of the strength of the signal and the older sound system in my vehicle. Would recommend to friends.

To be fair, if you're not anywhere near a strong radio signal, then this product works well; however, radio stations' signal strength varies as you drive across town, leading to interference on the radio. I bought the product to listen to training material while driving; unfortunately, too much cross-talk from local radio stations killed the idea of using this product. I've since returned it for a refund. I wouldn't buy it again.

When an "empty" station can be found, the transmitter works very well. However, as you travel around, too often the station's actual programming will often bleed through & interrupt & degrade your intended playback. Very, very frustrating because you have to constantly search for alternative stations. Nonetheless, if you don't have factory Bluetooth, this is a relatively inexpensive alternative.

I purchased this to make a long drive in my car that is not equipped with bluetooth technology. This unit did charge my iPhone 6+ well, but the FM transmitter was less than satisfactory. I'll be returning the unit and investing in wiring for Bluetooth.

Recently bought the Griffin FM transmitter, I would have bought a Belkin version but were out of stock. I bought a Griffin in the past, it was ok, this new one has connect issues with the radio, some days is fine, others I have to unplug from my Apple device and reconnect. It does have issues if u have another Apple device asin phone charging, not bad product but can have issues.

I liked the feature that it charges your phone while streaming music through the car speakers. However the sound was either horrible or not loud enough. The related app was supposed to determine the best radio channel to sync to. It was a major FAIL.

Static, poor reception IN THE CAR, sounds terrible. Occasional bleeps and loud chirps. Does not do its main job well at all. Exchanged for another cheap cassette adaptor which works as intended.. sounds good, costs a fifth of this POC.

It feels like an over priced car charger to me. It works but there's always static & it constantly looses the station. I understand when you drive you loose the different stations depending on what area you're in, but when I find a station while sitting in a parking lot & then loose it before my car leaves the parking spot, it gets annoying & frustrating.

The transmitter works ok. Unfortunately these type of transmitters work via a lighter or electrical port and that leaves too much opportunity for static. It works ok but there just aren't many stations that provide static free play. No fault of the product really, just the connectivity.

I bought this device because my car does not have an auxiliary output. Why not buy a new head unit and just get bluetooth and an auxiliary instead of paying for an overly expensive car charger? I only keep cars 2-3 years and I like having the steering wheel controls at my fingertips instead of having to worry about taking my eyes off the wheel. Convenience is worth its weight in gold when you put 50k miles on a vehicle a year. I have only had interference a few times and just needed to switch the channel. That could probably get annoying if I had to change more than 1-2 times per travel, but its not overwhelming. Otherwise I have not had any issues, first time I plugged it in, it took me directly to the app store on my iPhone and followed the prompts and worked right away. Good product! Minimal Complaints.

Quick charging. Very clear sound. Only gripe I have is it makes me change the station EVERYTIME before I can play anything when I turn the car on. So I am unable to leave it on the same station everytime all the time for convenience.

I've used belkin in the past for FM transmitters. This is by far the best I've used. First, it is very simple to use. You literally plug it into the cigarette lighter and your phone, hit the scan button, tune your radio into the station on the display and hit play on your device. It couldn't be more simpler. Also it is better that the audio comes through the lightning port and not through the headphone jack (minimal static). As it is getting a little older sometimes I'll have to push play twice with my device. That is my only complaint.
