Customer Reviews

I would have expected better from belkin
I have recently bought this item on the strength of having used various Belkin products of which I have been delighted with. However, this product falls short of Belkin's usual standard. Firstly, the unit switches off when a song fades in or has a quiet interlude (You can not turn this feature off.) Secondly, The unit emits loud beeps to tell you it's turning off which is really annoying. On the plus side the sound quality isn't bad and the display is pretty too. If it wasn't for the auto off feature this would be a good product but the negatives outweigh the positives so look elsewhere for a good FM transmitter.

Really poor..
In general, it's OK when it's working, but the auto-off functionality is hopeless, switching it off when there's music playing through. The volume is transmits the music at is very low, which is a particular nightmare when it goes to switch off, as it emits an extremely loud beep.

All it takes is a quiet song or a gap between songs and it lets out the huge beep and starts shutting down, which you can't prevent.

Rubbish.

I've never resorted to HATING a piece of equipment until now
I bought this hoping to find an alternative to the iTrip I was using (which seemed to have such a low signal that I'd end up listening to the FM transmitters of passing traffic), and was told to try the Belkin one. Well, what a hateful little piece of kit this is. The documentation tells you that it will switch itself off after 10 minutes if it receives no signal. Obviously, this only applies to people that listen to 500 BPM hard house, because this thing will issue a deafening BLEEP.... BLEEP BLEEP to anything, and then unceremoniously switch itself off, with no way of overriding it. The only way to stop it is to have the iPod volume so high that the distortion makes it unlistenable. In those brief moments where you can get something out of it, all music is accompanied by a delightful hiss that makes whatever you're listening to sound like it's being performed by a basket of angry cats. For something that only has one job to do in life, it's remarkable that it can do it so badly. Unfortunately, I snapped the bracket when trying to find the power button at 60mph because it had switched itself off, so can't even send the blasted thing back. I will never, ever buy a Belkin product again. Avoid.
