I only occasionally hear minimal static when i have the iPod charging, and that is only very few times when it is charging. I bought this product because I was content with my stock radio minus the little detail I could not play my iPod in the car. This product was so easy to install and use. I would have to say this is one of the better products I have purchased in some time. Again I am completely satisfied with this device.
Easy to install and works great. This is the second I have bought and installed on both my automobiles.
It works by not only transmitting your ipod (or other source) music over an unused frequency but also disconnects your car's antenna from your radio at the same time. On my son's car that's what I did because he has a little shelf right under his radio (89 Volvo 240) to set his ipod on. The hardest part was finding out how to remove the trim and radio without breaking anything. I barely had enough wire to reach. The sound quality seems very good to me and my kids say they can't tell a difference between what they hear from their car's speakers and what the music sounds like through the ipod earbuds. I have installed one of these in each of my two kid's cars. This is a great product. I mounted the jack and antenna kill switch on the console next to the e-brake.
I would have given this device 5 stars if enough wire had been provided, but that.0001 cents worth of wire shortage was a real pain. On my daughters 99 Chev Prizm however there is no place close to the radio to place the ipod. As cheap as the wire is they should give a couple extra FEET so you can mount things correctly. The only complaint I have is that the length of wire that connects the aux.jack and antenna kill switch to the modulator is too short. That way there's even less chance for a stray signal to be picked up to compete with your music. I was forced to hang the modulator down by the gas pedal and stuff it behind the front of the console moulding.
Once the radio was pulled out for access to the antenna, installing the device was simple and straight forward. If your going to mount the jack right next to the radio it's not a problem. If I had had a few more inches I could have zip tied it neatly behind the radio and just the wires would have been behind the moulding. Other than that issue however I am very pleased with how well it works.
Installed this in my 2004 ford focus. Works great, the sound is very good. I also installed an ipod adapter to charge and give sound to this wired fm modulator.
This is an awesome product. I was a little unsure about it at first because I was afraid of static interference, but I hear no static at all. It works great with my Iphone 3G.
