I purchased this item about 3 weeks ago. It worked exactly as I expected. The sound was good, no static. However, it provided a tight fit in my car because of the positioning of my cigarette lighter, which is located between the emergency brake and the gear shift. Thus, I had to squeeze it in the space, which often times affected the gear shift. Secondly, I put the device in my son’s diaper bag (went to the mall and didn’t want anyone to see it in the car and steal it) and the screw came out of the adapter part. This caused the adapter to split right up the middle! If the item hadn’t broken, I would have rated this a 5.

Junk, Save you money.
Problems:
*Radio Transmitter Very VERY weak.
*Difficult to pull out of Car lighter.
*Moves around in lighter a but too much.
*Iphone 3g Says device not made it but appears to still power.
I might feel better if I got this at a Dollar store but I didn’t so I paid too much.

Purchased item originally from [...]…. have never been able to get to work properly with iphone 3g or 3gs. I get the “this device is not compatible do you want to put the iphone in airplane mode?” I’m thinking I’ll try to get my refund…

I was expecting a clear sound given the transmitter is sending a signal only a couple of feet to the car’s antenna but there is a loud fuzzy hissing throughout the music that makes this unacceptable. I’m trying to return it now that I opened the package and not getting a response from the seller. Also, your phone/ipod will sit right in front of wherever your cigarette lighter power source is in the vehicle which may not be a convenient place to look at it or access it while driving, be sure to consider this.

I purchased one of these in January for use with my 3G Iphone in my Mitsubishi Eclipse. The very first time I plugged it in, it immediately blew two fuses in my car shorting out the radio and clock and frying the product. I routinely use my car jack for a variety of other electronic products (Iphone charger, bluetooth headset charger, laptop charger) without any issues.
The seller Crazyondigital exchanged it for a new one. First and foremost, it only functioned if the phone is in airplane mode. Second, the plastic plug that fits into the lighter is cheaply made and started seperating from the weight of the goose neck holder almost immediately. Third, because of the seperation of the plastic, the device falls over or tilts constantly. At that point I promptly returned it, and the seller was good enough to give a full refund.
Sound quality was medicore at best. The radio had to be turned almost to max to get decent sound out, and if you turned off the iphone, the static was then nearly overwhelming. I also got the typical electronic buzz that is common with these types of devices, but thankfully the buzz wasn’t too loud.
I would not recommend this product for numerous significant design flaws. As mentioned above, the seller handled the situation with professionalism.
