Product Description
When you're out on the road it can be tough listening on local radio stations, if you get a station at all. Banish boring local talk show hosts and easy-listening versions of Metallica with your very own wireless FM transmitter. This versatile item plugs into your vehicle's 12V power port and lets you play any audio device you have directly through your car stereo system's preset FM stations. You can "plug and play" music in MP3 format directly from a USB flash drive or use the auxiliary input to fire up your iPod®, portable CD player or even a Walkman cassette player for you old-school types.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent product for on the go music experience.   January 6, 2009
Parag Sohoni
This is a very useful product, especially when you are fed up of listening to the same old CDs which you keep playing while driving. This product gives an option of listening to your fav numbers through the usb flash drive or through an ipod which can store a very large number of songs. A great companion for long drives..............


1 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money   December 19, 2008
Jane Doe (Charlotte, NC)
You can never get the product to keep a station on the radio long enough to allow your music to play. It is always fading in and out or lots of static. It was a waste of money. We don't ust it at all.


1 out of 5 stars Limited number of fm frequencies, compared to other variants of same product   December 14, 2008
C. Kafka (Tolland, CT USA)
This was my third fm modulator from VR3. The other two work fine. This one is a big disappointment. It has a more limited number of fm frequencies available and none of those coincides with a "clear" on in my geographic area. So essentially unusable.


4 out of 5 stars Acceptable, B+   October 22, 2008
Orrie (Pennsylvania)
Pros:
Works with up to a 2 GB stick (biggest I've tried)

Good (just shy of "Great") signal strength (but you gotta pick the right frequency)

Shuffle Mode

Remembers last song, even if you remove the stick (though see below)

Stands up to heat and cold so you can leave it in your car

Ignores non-music files on stick, doesn't care if files are in a folder or not (despite manual's claim to the contrary)

Cons:
Will drain your battery if your outlet doesn't cut off when you turn your engine off (some cars do, some don't, check your manual)

Song memory restarts from beginning of song, slightly annoying

Shuffle does take up to 30 seconds to find next song if there are lots 200+) songs on the stick

High-quality files are a must; any noise at all gets amplified, which is probably the source of all the "static" complaints

Super-high volume not possible due to picking up low-level interference from car's alternator (low "hum" if you don't have a song playing)

No metadata or even filename display

All in all, it passes muster.




1 out of 5 stars not good   October 18, 2008
Ronald A. Cook (Salmon, ID United States)
it worked for the first day..would play one song and then try the second one and then start over and over, but only for a few seconds..JUNK
