Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin TuneBase FM Transmitter for iPod with Dock Connector (Black)
Customer Review: Great product for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I chose to give this product 5 stars mainly based on the price I paid for it in relation to the quality of the product.
As far as the base is concerned, all parts seem very strong and durable, and the telescopic holder is very sturdy, holding your iPod in any position in which it is placed.
I also tested this unit with my video iPod and my wife's Nano, and both attachements provided a snug fit for either devices.
Regarding the reception, it took me a little bit to find a station that worked well with it, but when I did, it worked flawlessly. I even took it cross-cities (Salt Lake to Park City) and through canyons and it kept playing great.
I have no complains regarding this product. It seems that there are other products out there for quite a bit more money that may do a better job, but for the money, this is a great buy.
*UPDATE*
It is now almost August of 2009 and I am still using this iPod connector!!! It hasn't given me an ounce of headaches even during travels (and we travel by car A LOT).
Customer Review: The BEST
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned the itrip, which was convienient, because you could take it anywhere (being cordless) and play it on any radio. But the sound was absolutly awful, and it drained the baterry. Then I bought the Transpod, which was an improvement, b/c the sound was a little better, and it charged the ipod. However, It was ugly as junk. Anddd after just a month of owning it, it broke. All It did was sit in my car. You can tell it is very cheap. So now I bought the belkin tunebase fm...ANDDDDD......This thing is amazing. The sound is serously BETTER then a cd quality (if you beleive that) I serously have never heard the bass in my car hit so sharply. It also charges it, and the tunebase is pretty small and holds the ipod without any ugly cords. You need to find a station that doesnt have reception for it to come in perfectly clear, and at times I do notice the ringing noise the other reviewer mentions, but I rarely notice it. I give the itrip 2 stars, the transpod 3, and this thing 5 stars by far. I don't know how it compares to the other new fm transmitters, but compared to the older ones, it is in another league. I highly recommend it.Customer Review: What a SURPRISE
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a 60 GB Ipod and I have tried 4 other products in my car but this one is by far my favorite. None of the accessories that are offered for the Ipod sound 100% and never have static or interference but this one gives you the most options for changing radio stations. Increasing the volume is somewhat confusing but not impossible. Overall this product is the best on the market for those with cigarette lighter adapters in awkward places. You must be careful with adjusting the neck.
I recommend handling this product with care because it is delicate. Recently my TuneBase stopped working because one of the parts broke. I called Belkin and they replaced it with a new one no questions asked. Not many companies stand behind their products like that. I am pleased with the no hassle return because I LOVE this product and would have been unhappy if forced to change to something else.
Customer Review: TuneBase FM
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really great product which I had wanted like ... forever ! Works great in car,looks neat,clear audio thru FM,charges iPod as well. I considered this for a very long time because no one could really tell me how to use this. So in case you have the same problem, it is very simple ... you search for a FM frequency that has most static (no music station playing,then you tune your TuneTalk to the same frequency) then voila ! Your iPod music comes thru loud and clear. At certain spots where FM is weak, there may be some static interference - other than that, it is real cool. Small inconvenience may be that you need to search for yr songs or a better frequency .. don't do that while driving! Also fits other ipods in case you are owner of several. Great product! By the way, what makes it greater for me is that it's a birthday present from my hunny and I simply love this and him ! ;)Customer Review: The best FM Transmitter for IPod
Summary: 5 Stars
After trying other IPod/MP3 player FM transmitters, I had just about concluded that, living in the DC metropolitan area, it was just not worth it. Others gave too much static and a weak signal through my car radio. But after trying the Belkin Stereo dock (rave reviews - check it out) on my home stereo system, I figured it was worth a shot - especially since they seem to be closing out this model and the price was very inexpensive ($14) - so nothing to lose by trying. It is undoubtedly the best one out there. Crystal clear reception, plus it automatically finds the best unused frequencies. And, it is very attractive and solidly built. I love the flexible arm - it puts the IPod right up there where it is sturdy, easily viewable, and very attractive - not 'cheap' looking or trailing cords everywhere. I highly recommend this model.
