Comments about Belkin TuneCast Auto FM Transmitter with ClearScan for iPhone and iPod:
I bought this last year after trying another model that was not compatible with my iPod Touch 2G. The Belkin has been working very well. Any device that transmits an FM frequency is going to be at the mercy of our crowded airwaves, so if you are driving a distance, and a conflicting station comes in range, you will have to change frequencies. You press the button on the cord, and it recommends a "clear" channel. Retune your radio to that channel to resume listening. I have a 99 Honda Civic with the factory installed CD/radio. I'm happy with this device. I wish the USB connector stayed put a bit better, it pops out of the iPod fairly easily.

Comments about Belkin TuneCast Auto FM Transmitter with ClearScan for iPhone and iPod:
I like the fact that I can pick up the transmitter to see the recommended FM station and can pick up the phone to answer an incoming phone, unlike with a cradle.

Comments about Belkin TuneCast Auto FM Transmitter with ClearScan for iPhone and iPod:
when wanting to widen my music range via radio, this was the best thing I could think of. I read many reviews and concluded that none of the FM transmitters is 100% guaranteed to be consistent, since it works with radio frequency and these change wherever you go. It was not hard to set up but takes a while to tune, and has a distinctive sound to it, that is not perfectly radio, nor is it like listening to your ipod. So I guess, this was the best bet for price - you don't want to buy some 15$ piece of junk that will break in a day, and I think wasting 120$ on this is also over the top.

Comments about Belkin TuneCast Auto FM Transmitter with ClearScan for iPhone and iPod:
I'm a music junky and use this product in my car all the time, even in 5 minutes drive. Looks good, charges good and even plays good if found a right channel. Hard part is to find a clean channel, or there is something I'm missing in tuning this device right.
I don't know, but sometimes it doesn't transmit in channel it's claiming to be. The auto tuner (or frequency selector) almost useless. Even after being tuned to a clear channel, my radio receives a lot of noises on freeway or when passing hills.
