Doesn't get the station needed - Reviewed on 2009-01-02

Where I live (CT) the ideal station for a transmitter is 87.9, but this one only went down to 88.1! Why? I returned it, and am still searching for another one.
Stopped working after four months - Reviewed on 2008-12-09

This product worked all right for the first few months that I used it. I used it almost daily for my commute. The reception had a bit of static in some locations, but I wasn't expecting it to be perfect. However, it just stopped working suddenly after only about four months. Overall, it was not worth buying.
Works great for me! - Reviewed on 2008-12-09

Don't expect great sound from any FM Transmitter. Direct plug into the stereo/speakers is best. Cassette adapter is second best (if you have a functioning cassette player). FM Transmitters are probably going to give you some static, especially at higher volumes, but can work well enough to make your drive a little better.

I wanted a way to listen to my Sony Walkman MP3 player in my car. My tape deck has issues and I don't use it enough to make it worth while to replace it. The Belkin FM Transmitter was the most affordable FM Transmitter I could find with a lighter adapter (didn't want to mess with batteries all the time) so I figured I'd give it a try. I live in a rural area with lots of open frequencies. I just tuned to one and the Belkin worked right away. I couldn't hear any static at the volume I would typically listen at, so it works for me. And at the present time, other FM Transmitters are going for twice the price as this one.

Pro's: NONE

Con's: My tape player works better than this! Don't get this product unless you want to end up returning it at a later date.
Turns off and on randomly - Reviewed on 2008-11-30

Absolutely terrible product. It started to randomly turn off and would not turn back on after only a month of having it. Big waste of money. Get a transmitter that connects to the bottom (dock connector) of your ipod instead.
