 Trust the reviews. It's horrible. December 28, 2008
Mark Singer (San Francisco, CA United States)
I got this product as a warranty replacement for an earlier model (the 38155) which actually worked quite well. However, the wire frayed and it has been discontinued so Kensington simply decided to send me a newer model as a replacement.
Well. I say they decided to send it to me. What I really mean is they decided to offload it on me.
If you are thinking of buying this, try this instead. Give 1/2 of the price you see to charity, and ponder at how wonderful it is that a) you've done something nice for someone and b) you didn't waste twice that amount on a completely ineffective and worthless iPod FM transmitter.
I have spent considerable time trying to tune this piece of high-tech clap-trap in to vacant frequencies up and down the dial but the signal it puts out is so utterly weak and paltry that you might have better luck politely asking your iPod to play over your stereo. Of course, that won't work. But neither does this product so at least you're financially ahead.
On the rare occasions that my iPod could be heard for a few fleeting seconds, it sounded like it was being broadcast from Radio Zimbabwe over shortwave radio. In an electrical storm. And under a mound of hissing cobras.
You get the point.
This is the Worst September 10, 2008

This product is the worst FM transmitter on the market. I do like the brand but that particular one that should have left on the self. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT>
At least this piece of junk was free... August 13, 2008
B. Shutes (Sharpsville, PA United States)
I bought an older model Kensington transmitter last fall when I got my new iPod and for about 9 months it worked like a dream. Sure, you had to search for a new station every now and then, but it did what it was supposed to do.
Then the stupid thing stopped playing through my front driver side speaker. All three other speakers played fine (*and with radio and CD all four are perfect), but with the glories of stereo sound, having one channel not play was a problem.
I was sent this model as a free replacement after first speaking to a tremendously unhelpful customer service rep off in India who claimed my first transmitter wasn't even compatible with the 80G iPod classic I have. Of course, she was wrong, something confirmed by the email customer service. (Nota bene: if you need to deal with these idiots at Kensington, just use the email and save yourself a lot of headache).
So this piece arrived today. I'd read the reviews on here and knew I wasn't getting much of anything for free - buy hey, they gave me a replacement after admitting their fault (so I'll give them that for credit.)
This thing is total junk. Sitting in my driveway scanning through my usual "best" stations for the iPod I was confronted with overwhelming static and poor sound. I don't know which is worse - crunchy sound or a missing channel. I'm thinking the channel.
One thing is sure - next time I'm buying from a different company...

I found the quality of the reception for this device to be well below the quality of others. The older Kensington model that I have for another vehicle worked extremely well and I wish I would have purchased that one instead.
Not pleased ! May 17, 2008
J. Boyrard
Not pleased ith this at all. I much rather the model before this one. It pickes up signals that is should not and the sound quality is terrible. I have the same cr and drive the same roues as with the one I have before and the difference is very noticible. I don't even use it anymore.
