Excellent FM Transmitter!!
This device is awesome. My vehicle doesn't have an audio jack/AUX input so in order to use iPhone/pandora/MP3 player/etc I rely on this FM transmitter. The sounds quality is equivalent to a CD player. Nice and clear with great base and treble. The first FM transmitter I bought was from target and was a total piece of junk. It never worked and when it did work, the sound was always staticky. After that I just assumed that quality sounds wasn't feasible with this method. I decided to be persistent try a different brand that had good reviews so I bought the JETech transmitter. I was immediately impressed and am still amazed at the quality of sound this device delivers. The difference in sound quality between the junk from Target and this item is night and day. If you have an older model vehicle and are looking for a music solution, buy this FM transmitter. It works beautifully. I couldn't be more satisfied.

No issues after three years!
I've had this FM transmitter in my car for close to three years now. I love it - allows me to listen to music on my phone in my older car. I live in a large city, but I have managed to find a station that I have no interference or static. I normally don't experience any issues when driving in other locations, either. It remembers the station you were last on, so no need to tinker with this each time you get in your car. Just plug it into your headphone jack (as long as you don't have some of the newer phones that don't have them now) and be on your way. Having the USB slot in the lighter port plugin is very helpful, too! Allows me to charge my phone at the same time for longer drives.

Excellent stereo sound, great hard-wire connection
One of the more popular reviews of this transmitter suggests that it does not broadcast in stereo. This is wrong. It defintely outputs a stereo signal. I like the fact that it isn't Bluetooth, as there is already some sound degradation by having to go through an FM transmitter. Why add even more degradation by adding Bluetooth into the mix? The only complaint I have with this transmitter is that its lowest frequency is 88.1. It would be nicer if it went down to 87.5 to avoid interference from FM broadcasts in the vicinity. As long as you're willing to use a wired connection to your DAP or smartphone, this is an ideal device for getting the best quality sound possible with a FM transmitter.

The Truth About FM Transmitters
So here's what you need to know about FM transmitters. Firstly, the JETech Wireless FM Transmitter sold here is a nice device - it provides CD quality sound out of your radio. The tuning digits are large and easy to read, and easy to 'tune'. The addition of the USB charging outlet to charge your phone while using it is a nice feature. And best of all, the unit connects to your phone via the headphone jack, which provides a secure and predictable connection. I have used other transmitters that use Bluetooth to connect the phone to the transmitter, but since I'm in my car, that is a feature I do not need and I much prefer the wired connection. So why are there negative reviews about "static" and other issues? The problem is that if you live in a metro area, there are likely no frequencies not in use by "someone". I tune to the 88 series in the Chicago area. But when traveling the 30 miles between my parents house and my own house, I pass through at least four different areas that have "micro stations" broadcasting on the 88 series of numbers. NONE of these stations are listed on the "official" list of FM stations -- because they are too small and low powered. So what is the result? Static when passing through these areas. But since I know what is going on, I sit tight and wait until I am beyond the range, and my music comes back crystal clear. The 107 series of stations is also available on this unit, but ALL of the 107 stations are in use in my area, and all are on the official list of FM stations, which means they will be more powerful. So what is the best way around this? Well, all FM stations use ODD numbers, so 88.1, .3, .5 etc. However, this device also allows you to select the even numberes, such as .4 and .8. If you have a tuner that has a manual tuner capable of tuning in the even numbers (mine does not) then you can tune into the even numbered stations and enjoy digital quality sound uninterrupted. Note most newer FM tuners do not have the option to tune in the even numbers, but some have a way around it. If not, you can still just wait out driving by the micro stations or make your selection carefully when choosing a frequency to tune in. But don't blame this transmitter, blame your local micro stations.

Works great!
I wanted to add my phone to my car's stereo but was a little leery about a Bluetooth-FM-car stereo kind of hook up. This little gadget makes it easy... Plug into a lighter jack, plug into phone's earphone jack, pick an unused FM station on the device and tune the car's radio to that station. Oh and the plug also has a usb charging port, and an led indicator showing that it's powered up.

Connect Classic iPod to Car With No Auxiliary Input
Newer model cars are phasing out the auxiliary input, much to the dismay of classic iPod users like me. Although my classic connects to the usb input just fine and displays on my car stereo touch-panel, the sound quality is pretty terrible. It's also super annoying having to use the car's touch interface, which displays my playlists in a very inconvenient way, making searching for the music I want to listen to nearly impossible. This radio transmitter saved me in the past when cars only had cassette players/cd players, and has returned to save me from the future which apparently doesn't need aux inputs. God bless it; it works like a charm, allowing me full use of the iPod while connected and the sound quality is far better than the usb connection.

Does just what it should
I bought this so I could listen to podcasts in my car via my phone since my car is just old enough to not have an AUX port. Also this is replacing a much older FM transmitter I used to use for my iPod. Works great and is easy to operate. I bought this one because it also has a charging port. And it came with a nice little bag to keep it in, bonus! My only suggestion is that the cords be swapped from either side of the transmitter, so the part of the cord that plugs into your device is on the left side of the transmitter. The way it is arranged with that cord on the right side of the transmitter just means it's a bit awkward to handle the whole deal while in the driver's seat. Otherwise it's a great transmitter and a good deal!

very good. I like that you don't have to take ...
So far, very good. I like that you don't have to take the cover off of your phone or device to use this because the station selection control unit is in the middle of the cable and not attached to the headphone jack. Having the ability to plug in another USB cable to charge your device means that you don't lose an outlet in your car, and it actually works. Sound quality is very good, keep in mind that the strength of incoming radio signal dictates sound quality but there are plenty of empty stations where I am. Also know that adjusting the volume of your device may help clean up sound quality, your device doesn't need to be full blast to get good sound. Feels and seems well made, the cable shielding is a good quality, I was worried that the cable would be frail but again it's quite sturdy. Despite what the pictures might suggest this device is not bulky or too long and so it does a good job of keeping your music device at hand and not being a tangled mess in you cup holder or across your console. I like it, I like it a lot.

Excellent!
This FM transmitter was just what I needed! I was heading out on a 1500 mile round trip. One CD changer and I no longer have CD's. Can't stand listening to the radio with all of the jabbering and advertisements, etc. Wanted to stream Pandora to make the trip more pleasant. I have a 2003 BMW 325 and there is no place to plug into for this purpose. I got this a bit for the trip and used it on errands to see how it would do. And it performed fantastic! I used it on my trip and only had a few short sketchy spots. Even through the mountains. Even then Pandora went into offline mode and I still had music all the way. The sound is great. Only had to change the station once or twice near big cities due to the having a lot of used channels. I had tried one many years ago and it worked terrible. So I was skeptical but this worked excellent and saved me from boredom and not music for my trip. And you cannot beat the price! I use it everywhere even now that I am home. 2 tips: Try for the lower numbered channels....high 80's low 90's and most places don't utilize them as much. Also for the static, turn the volume on your cell phone or other device all the way up and the radio volume won't need to go up as high and thus you dono't hear the static. Kudos to this company and this product!

Really nice product, I didn't even know FM transmitters were ...
Really nice product, I didn't even know FM transmitters were a thing until I saw one in my friend's car. I looked around for a wired one, and voilà, I found this one. Bluetooth is annoying to pair up, and I would expect there to be an extra step in sound quality loss by having it connect via bluetooth. I have to turn up the volume on my phone all the way to maximum to get decent volume in my car without maxing out the car radio volume, but it sounds good enough when I do so. I also like that you can charge your phone at the same time, although it does seem to cause static in the music if you try charging and playing music with this at the same time. I'm glad I bought this, and honestly I bought one for my uncle too, and he enjoys his a lot as well!
