Too much hiss Had high hopes for this transmitter but unfortunately let down. There is a high ammount of noise transmitted which results in a lot of hiss, very noticeable during quiet periods of songs. Tried every clear frequency between 88.1 and 107.9 and results do not improve. Thought it could be my player however even without a source hiss is massive. Another couple of gripes are you can only jump in 0.2 MHz steps (88.1, 88.3, ..) and that the frequency you have tuned into is hard to see on the display.
Shame... more info
Compatibility problem This looks a good product, and obviously works well for some. Be careful, though, if your car has an aerial integrated into the screen (as my Toyota Avensis does), since it then becomes difficult to position the device so that a decent signal comes through. Moreover, what signal does come through is not very high quality. It may be the only practical solution, however.
Simple, effective, quality sound. This is a great little gizmo. There are a lot of junk ones around, i`ve bought plenty, but this one is in another league. Not only does the job well, but seems to clear out all interference first to make way for your player when you turn it on. Like this a lot. Top marks to Kensington.
OK It works. It's cheapish. It's easy to use. I only use it for spoken word podcasts - sometimes there's minor interference which might taint quiet music, but for me it's fine.
