Kensington 33159 Auto Charger and FM Transmitter for iPOD 
2006-11-07
It is very useful for charging but the FM feature I don't like a bit. Volume cannot be adjusted so the music comes out with a lot of "noise".
CHECK YOUR LOCAL 85 AND107 RADIO STATIONS 2006-07-18
This device only operates on 85.1, 85.3, 85.5, 85.7, 107.1, 107.3, 107.5, and 107.7. If you have a radio station on OR NEXT TO one of the frequencies the quality of the device will be poor. If one of those is clear (and no station is on either side of it) this product will sound quite good.
It will do.

If you are like me and dont really care about the "best" sound quality you can possibly have, and don't mind the tiny bit of static (keep in mind I live in a city) then this is for you. Its simple, it works, and Im glad that I bought it, and that it didnt break the bank. I like it.
Great Product

This is a great product. I had previously purchased a RoadTrip, and had very poor results with it. The ipod would pop off every time you went over a bump, it made a buzzing feedback noise (conflict with other electronic devices?) and it was a very large bulky device, difficult to hide in the car or carry in your bag. The Kensington 33159 Auto Charger and FM Transmitter is sooooo much better, much more compact, no feedback noise, and transmits even to channels that do have a signal, though the manual says to use one that has only static. I've been very pleased with it. If you're considering the RoadTrip, reconsider and get this one instead.
Kensington auto charger FM transmittter for iPod 
2006-03-15
I bought this after reading all the excellent reviews. I was very disappointed. The reception was bad in my car and in my girlfriend's vehicle. I tried all the frequencies and different iPods (nano and mini). I sent it back.
Works great. Super price. 2008-05-27
Must say this was one of the best Christmas presents that came out of Santa's bag this year! I researched a lot of these transmitters before I purchased one and this one really works! I use it on one setting in my vehicle and the other vehicle uses it on another radio station and both are fantastic. Very little static. I mean, you will get some, but its really not a bother...tends to be in certain areas with a lot of towers or transmitters around. We live in a fairly rural area, but travel a lot in a very busy metro area and get very little interference. I have had 2 other people purchase them since I got mine and they feel the same way. Stop shopping and buy this one. I rarely rave about a produce, but after 6 mos of use we are very pleased with the results. Definitely the right price for what you get.
Transmitter first rate 2007-11-08
I have enjoyed this FM transmitter for eleven months. I like the fact all the controls are right in the base to the lighter. It is easy to find your channel because the design of the frequency switches. With one click, you can go from 88.3 to 107.3. This has been a great addition to my IPod.
Does not work 2007-09-04
No reception on any of the available frequencies. I live in a rural area with plenty of un-used frequencies and should have had no problem with the signal. It is a cheap piece of junk and I would never recommend it to anyone. I would give it a zero star rating, but it wasn't an option.
A great, inexpensive choice! 2007-06-08
First of all, I am NOT an audiophile....I just run a stock stereo in my car, nothing fancy. This works very well for me....there is a slight hiss at high volume, but turn it down just a notch and it sounds fine. I didn't have a hard time finding a station at all. Overall, it was well worth the money I spent on it!
Great Product 2007-03-10
I got this charger/transmitter as a present and I love it! I honestly feel like I "can't live without it!" The signal strength is great, it charges the iPod while it transmits, and it only costs slightly more than a transmitter that doesn't charge! I did wear this out after only one year of use. I would have bought a new one immediately but couldn't find this model in any of the local stores so I tried out several others and they just didn't compare. In the end I tossed the others and bought this one again. My husband just bought himself an iPod and I'm getting him one of these transmitters. We're very happy with this one!
Pros:
Charges AND transmits - my iPod battery is NEVER low!
Easy to switch from car to car - great when you have a car rental
good signal strength - expiremented and husband got clear signal 3-5 car
lengths ahead of me
cost - not much more expensive than a transmitter w/out charger
doesn't require batteries, plugs into the cigarette adapter instead
turns off when you turn off your car
The cord length is fairly long, allowing a nice radius for you to place
your iPod
Cons:
Wore my first one out after about a year
iPod turns off when engine shuts down so every time you restart the car
you have to restart your iPod, not a big deal unless you're sitting
around waiting for someone and you turn the engine on and off while
you're waiting - even then it's a small inconvenience
It's not easy to switch the frequency while driving
Only 8 frequencies to choose from (although that has never actually been a
problem for me, it could be for you)
Other:
Tried several different kinds - this def the best, better signal than any
other I have tried
Even after the transmitter wore out the charger still worked
