But I would recommend either a Cassette Tape adapter or a new stereo with an aux/audio jack first. So if you are driving through a busy city then you will struggle to find any clear frequency. The tuner does as good of a job as any tuner that I've run across but is still limited by the limitations placed on them by the Government (transmission power caps, frequency range limits, etc). I would recommend it. I would recommend this FM Tuner. The design is very solid with the tuner being on long cables from the car's power socket allowing you to put it on the dash next to the car's antenna. As soon as you can find a clear station (with nothing +- 1 either) the signal is as clear as a radio station and does better than either an iRiver or Griffin tuner that I have also tried.
For me this product will be going into the trash. If you live in an area where the stations signal are weak and far between you might have better luck. Found the product simple and easy to use. However here in the So Cal area the radio stations are too strong for this device. If you live in a metro area with lots of stations taking up the airwaves I would recommend a different type of product.
i bought this based on the belkin name and should have checked the reviews first. this one just doesn't cut it. poor, distorted sound quality. sorry belkin.
I am very disappointed. I had ordered a Belkin Tunecast II Fm Transmitter for Mp3 players but received just a Belkin Tunecast Fm Transmitter and it does not even look like the picture. It looks quit used also.
The drawback was that I couldn't listen to other FM stations anymore because I had no external antenna.The only positive thing about this device is the ability to power ON when it detects audio from the mp3 player and power OFF if it detects silence.On the negative side: - very weak signal - eats batteries quickly - short audio cable (you need extension) - audio cable had loose connection and interfered with the FM transmission each time I touched the device - ugly shape (you won't find a place to put it, it doesn't lay, it doesn't hang, it doesn't stick, very very uncomfortable) - expensiveTry looking for "Car FM transmitter" on Amazon and see that there are cheaper and better devices than this useless piece of cr@p. Then, I used an audio cable extension. I had it for two years. We tried on the floor, on the seat, on the head rest, on the back seat. Got static regardless where I put it and what frequency I used. He laughed so hard.In my car, I had to remove the antenna to weaken the reception of my car radio. I bought it straight from belkin website and paid the full price for it. It was very embarrassing trying to have a good reception in my friend's car.
Together with the power cable, I was surrounded by cables just to play some music on the radio. The FM spectrum became free and I was finally able to use the Belkin FM transmitter. Don't buy it. What a rip off. No luck.
