Was skeptical this would work – but am enjoyably surprised.

Since my car does not have a cassette (or ipod/MP3 plug), a product such as this is the only way I may listen to the ipod on the go. I have tried similar merchandise antecedently and was not pleased with the results (excessive static, cutting in and out). Regardless, and with skepticism, I decisive to take a chance on the iLuv. Results follow.
PROS:
- KEY POINT: You MUST find the right frequency. Do not try to just guess, you will get poor results. Go to “radio-locator.com” to find the lowest-used frequency in your area. Once I did this the sound quality was great.
- I’m using principally with a 2nd Gen Touch – perfective fit. Also works well with the new Nano.
- 2 presets on the module so you may have a backup frequency to use if necessitated (my necessary frequency works well, but good to have a backup just in case)
- Charges the ipod well/fast
- Easy to adjust (tilt and swivel). This is key because you’re fixed to placing this wherever your outlet is located…in my case it’s way too close to the stick.
CONS:
- A little sensible to bumps in the road. I’ve had a few times where it cuts off if the road is a little rough. This seems to be more of an issue with the Touch vs. the Nano (since the Touch is more “top heavy” when seated in the iLuv).
- Would be great if it could “auto-find” the best frequency. If you’re driving any distance this would be a big plus (once you’re out of your home area, you’ll likely have to search for new frequencies)
- A little light static amongst songs – though not noticable when the music is playing.
All in all, a very good product…works better than I expected, and the price was reasonable.
Notes: using this in a BMW330ci with manual transmission. Power outlet emplacement not idealisti as noted above – a little in the way of the climate control and power top controls, and when you shift into reverse – but you adapt! But this is an issue with the car, not the iLuv.

very good transmitter
By Julie A. Souza
I got this after my Monster transmitter started having a great deal of issues – in all probability due to cord damage. After some research, I purchased this one since it also charges the iPod. It doesn’t limit which stations you may choose, like a great deal of and I have no problem finding a good frequency. Only get static occasionally, which I’ve heard is a big problem in cities. I’ve only had it with regards to a month, so I can’t attest to it is durability, but so far I am very happy with it – haven’t had to charge my iPod inside for weeks!

Not bad for the price.
By Kerensa S. Slay
This transmitter works very well for my iPod Video with very little static through the radio. However, the volume is very low as equated with my cassette. I use this to keep my iPod charged in the car but still use the cassette with it so I may jam out. Overall it is a magnificent product, but if your looking for sound quality, this won’t cut it.
