This is as good as it gets
After trying the Belkin Tunecast, both I and II, I laid out the money for this one -- Hooray! It works! I live in a suburb just north of Chicago and drive through 3 'burbs on the way to and from work -- radio stations come and go. The IRiver lets me set 3 so as I drive I can switch easily between stations. There is a little static (mainly between tracks), but for a FM transmitter, this is probably the best you can do for the money. For those of us out there without a tape deck in our car, this is the best way to go. (If you do have a tape deck, just get a tape adapter).
The price may seem high in comparison to some other transmitters, but the advantage of being plugged directly into your car (no batteries!) is worth it. Plus, the auto on and off is great. Now, when I want to play my Rio Carbon I just turn it on, plug in the IRiver cord and turn on my radio -- easy easy easy.
I am so glad I bought this!
