Pros: First of all, this product is cheap. It does what its supposed to do, and it does it OK. Great touch with the SD card slot! Second, the build quality is fine and feels quite solid. The tranmitter is also really easy to set up, real plug&play!
 
Cons: As with many FM transmitters, there is no hi-fi sound. Theres a lot of distortion, especially when there is no sound feed from a source (ex, the pause between songs). Other than that, the 2,5mm jack input on the the transmitter is a real pain. Why cant they just fit it with a 3,5mm? Theres a converter cable that comes with the transmitter, but this is loke 1 inch long.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: For the price, this is a bargin. If you want a transmitter that can send OK signals to your car stereo, this is the way to go.

Does exactly what I want it to

Pros: - Worked straight out of the box

- Fit nicely in to other product (SKU02260)

- Tuned straight in to my radio without hassle

I bought this item purely to use the line-in cable and use my phone for music via FM

It does exactly that, Pluged in, tuned, worked first time.

My radio has a 'Local' option so it scans for closer signals. The audio output is great for the price

Cons: None, cheap product does what it says

***I don't intend on using the SD or USB connections so won't be talking about that

Other Thoughts: Slightly flimsy build, but cheap so who cares

Bottomline: Great product, does exactly what I want it to!!

Pros: - It's cheap!
- Good sound quality
- Various frequency channels, override other stations.
- It's fast to reproduce the songs
- Remote control can jump songs
- Memorize the last song
 
Cons: - Doesn't have shuffle/random play
- Doesn't work well with SD card (i had to put a coin between the SD card and the entrance to work)
- Volume could be louder (i used the maximum of the transmitter and the car radio and still wasn't enough)
 
Other Thoughts: - Is lasted 1 month, now doesn't work anymore. I'm buying a new one.
 
Bottomline: If continues to work after one month, it's worth to buy!

Pros: I have a Monster FM transmitter I have been using for a few years but I grew tired of swapping it between our two cars. This looked like a decent FM transmitter. I also put some of my favorite music on the memory card but most of the time it is connected to my Zune. I am using it every day.

FM quality: good (better than the Monster)

Like all of these it does not give you crystal clear reception, but it's good enough.

Ease of use: decent

Start up time: good (~2 sec)

The MP3 player was a nice little

Cons: The cable that comes with it to connect to the MP3 player is waaaay too short!

It does not seem to have memory presets, and that makes it a little cumbersome when making a long trip.

The MP3 function does not shuffle (as far as I can see)

The remote is really hard to point to the device. A little frustrating at times but I hardly ever use it.

Other Thoughts: I'd recommend this for people looking for a simple FM transmitter. Make sure you are OK with a very short MP3 cable or get an extension cable.

Bottomline: Decent device for the price.

FM transmission + having a MP3 player connected works great.

If you want special MP3 functionality you may be disappointed. It's really basic in that regard.
