 Please avoid this one. November 18, 2008
My first negative review for any product bought at Amazon. I read all prior reviews regarding this FM transmitter and was interested in this one since it played double duty, FM transmitter and power supply for my Zune. I don't always believe everything I read in reviews, but I should have where this product is concerned. Let me start by saying I have an iRiver FM transmitter that worked great, but wanted one that would also power my device, enter the Zune transmitter.
Following the instruction that came with the Zune transmitter and reading suggestions from others (the reviews here at Amazon) I bought this one. Right from the start the Zune transmitter couldn't find an open frequency. After a few attempts I just manually set it to one I personally discovered was one of the best for my area. The Zune transmitter broadcasted on this frequency, but it sounded like a static AM Radio. Words with an "S" in them were slurred, along with frequent bouts of static being transmitted. I tried moving the Zune around the interior of the car since the cord was the sending antenna, but there was no difference. After moving the car to a new location, I again attempted to lock onto a FM frequency (yes my car radio was turned off). Again the Zune transmitter couldn't find one. My personal experience with the slurring S's was due to playing the devise was set at a too high output volume. Turning down the volume on the device and up on the car radio always resulted in a clear and clean sound with my iRiver MP3 player and FM transmitter. With the Zune and the Zune FM transmitter, you can't make changes to the output volume. I'm certain that if I could change the volume the transmitter might work better.
After plugging my iRiver FM transmitter back on my Zune, I'm enjoying my Zune tunes in my car. My recommendation, don't buy this Zune transmitter, buy the iRiver FM transmitter. Sorry Zune.
 Harder to....... November 17, 2008
It was harder to open the package then it was to set-up this innovative product. Works fine.... I say buy it!
limited usability November 10, 2008
I had mixed results with this product. I knew the sound quality wouldn't be amazing and was fine with that, but it was a bit poorer than I expected. It worked fine in the rural area where I live (not many radio stations), except for a few spots here and there. But when I tested it in a more populated area, I couldn't find a single frequency that allowed it to work without a ton of static. I tried it in two different cars--both have the antenna embedded in a backseat window. I couldn't get this to work well enough to make it near worth the $60, so I returned it--fortunately amazon is great about this kind of return and it was real easy (and free to send it back). I'd recommend saving the packaging and such until you've tested it and made sure it works for you, especially if you plan on using it in an area with a lot of radio stations.
Awesome product November 4, 2008
This is the first time i purchased a devise to play my Zune in my truck so i have really nohting to compare it to, but the thing sounds really good! if it doesnt sound clear or there is alot of static, just change the chanel to a more clear one and your set!
Another cool thing is that when its hooked up to the radio, it displays the artist and song on the radio, and my trucks radio is a stock one that came with it, not a special car stereo, so i give this a two thumbs up!
Doesn't work for me... October 30, 2008
I read the mixed reviews of this product before deciding to give it a try. I was confident in my technical abilities and figured if other people could get it to work for them, then I could do the same. Unfortunately, I could not get the car pack to work consistently. I blame it on the densely populated area I live in (Los Angeles), and its over-saturation of radio stations. I managed to find a couple of stations where the static and the bleed-over from other stations was bearable, but it would go in and out from say, work to home. So, you might want to consider a different option if you live in a larger city.
