Manufacturer's Description
The stylish new AutoScan FM Transmitter from iStuff looks great, sounds even better and automatically scans for the clearest FM frequencies.

More technology driven than the Griffin iTrip, the iStuff FM transmitter automatically seeks out the clearest FM frequencies available in your area with just one touch of the Scan/Memory button. Once the iStuff FM transmitter has found the clearest frequencies you can save them on iStuff FM transmitter's four memory channels. The saved FM channels can then be selected by pressing the Scan/Memory button. Simply connect the iStuff AutoScan FM Transmitter to your audio player via the standard 3.5mm headphone port, activate your audio player and music will play wirelessly through your radio! And if no audio source is found for 55 seconds the iStuff AutoScan FM Transmitter will turn off automatically saving you power for the times you really want to hear your music! Also, you don't need to worry about power - the iStuff FM transmitter is supplied with an AAA battery that will deliver up to 18 hours of power and also includes a car power supply that connects to your car's cigarette lighter to supply power to the FM transmitter

Far outshining all other FM transmitters (including the Griffin iTrip), the iStuff AutoScan is perfect for any audio source including iPods, MP3 players and other portable audio devices.

Customer Reviews

Excellent sound quality - very easy to use!
I wasn't expecting too much from this product given it's one of the cheapest FM transmitters going. However, after using it for a few days with my iPod Nano, I can confirm it really is a top performer.

Hold down the autoscan button to set the scan going. It very quickly acquires 4 frequencies it thinks are free of other broadcasts and stores them as presets for easy access. Tune your car radio into the first preset and away you go. As you're driving along, you will come into range of different transmitters and pick up other broadcasts which might clash with your own signal. Just click the autoscan button to flick over to the next preset it already found, match it on your car radio and the interference is gone.

Sound quality is as good as I've heard from one of these devices. Nice bass and treble response, excellent signal strength when plugged into the cigarette lighter (as loud as a normal broadcast), and so far no interference. I'd recommend you turn off 'sound check' on your ipod as it's a bit quiet with it turned on (the same with all transmitters).

As it uses a standard headphone connector, you're not tied to an iPod either - any MP3 player will work.

You will really struggle to find a transmitter that's easier to use or better value. 5 stars!

Works well for radio, hifi....but not in the car!
The transmitter works really well if you're using it with a radio or hifi because you can sit it near the device and other radio stations won't interfere with it.

But in the car it's a whole different story. Interference is way too common. I had to put it on the back seat (highly impractical) for it to work /some/ of the time. Disappointed it didn't work as well as I'd hoped.

If you want it for the car you're probably better of investing in a headunit for both performance and sound quality.

Not worth buying if you want any sort of sound quality
I bought this on the strength of the (largely) positive reviews, a few months back, for use in the car with my Sony NWZA818 but have been very disappointed with it. Sound quality leaves a lot to be desired, compared to my in-car mini-disc system. It is much "muddier" and indistinct. Have I got a dud? Am I fussier about the quality of the sound, or do other reviewers just have cloth-ears? I'd probably just about put up with this, for the benefit of having a large selection of music at my fingertips, but whatever I try there is always a high pitched whistle in the background which I find very annoying and distracting. As a result of this and the poor sound quality, I've given up on this transmitter, and will not waste my time on another. My advice to prospective buyers is in line with some other fellow unimpressed reviewers. Buy a new player for the car with proper connections, don't waste your money on this.
