Works right by the radio receiver
This works well at home, near the radio in which it will be used. On the road, in my city of 200,000, it loses the signal a lot and has a lot of static. It must be held near the radio somehow to work in the car. For home use, this is worthwhile. Reconciling the Reviews: It's easy to reconcile the widely varying reviews this little gadget has received. If you drive primarily in areas with few FM stations, and if you have an unobstructed line of sight between your iPod and your car's radio antenna, then you're going to like this transmitter. Otherwise ... not so much. The important point is this: you're not going to know how well this transmitter will work for you until you try it out in your car. (It's working great in my Audi TT roadster in southern Idaho.) Well built, but too weak to be useful The product looks very professional and is built with quality in mind. The interface uses the ipod display and plainly works... But it only works outside metropolitan areas, where the FM band is not packed with radio stations. Its signal is so weak that it is impossible to use it in the car unless you're driving on the countryside. Purchase only based on where you live I read a ton of reviews before buying the Kensington Pico FM Transmitter. Bottom line is that its performance depends on where you use it. I live just outside of NYC and it is really hard to find a station with no interference. However, the transmitter works good when I go on trips to places where you can't get too many stations on the radio. Looks cool, Doesnt work. Awesome design, but i just cant get rid of the white noise in my car. And whats the use of an FM transmiter if you cant hear your music clearly?! | |
