 Ford Focus November 21, 2008
Alandil (S Wales)
Hi. Thinking of buying this for my son who owns a Ford Focus. With this Belkin Transmitter for an Ipod, there seems to be a problem with several models of cars in relation to where the cigarette lighter/gear stick are situated to enable the fixing of the transmitter. Has anyone used this in a Ford Focus please? If so, were there any obvious problems. I have a basic Belkin transmitter for my Iriver MP3 which works o.k. in our Toyota Yaris, but it requires batteries which always run out at the most inconvenient time. This Belkin apparently doesn't require batteries which would be a big plus. It also looks - am I too old to say it? - Cool! Any advice would be appreciated.
Excellent November 10, 2008

I've been using this for about a month and am, so far, pretty impressed with it.
I have it in my Mini and although the power adapter is a really tight fit in the cigarette lighter socket (so much so, that I have to be careful pulling it out that it doesn't take the entire socket with it!) it works a treat. The unit comes with several adapters for different types of iPod; I'm using it with a 3G iPhone and strangely, I've had to use the iPod video adapter even though it comes with an iPod Touch adapter, which I thought was basically the same casing as the iPhone.
Don't get me wrong, the reception isn't perfect and I've discovered that where the iPod is in relation to the radio and at what angle it sits in the cradle makes a BIG difference to how clear the signal is. If you can't seem to get a clear signal and you think you've chosen the best FM station, tinker around with the position of the cradle in relation to your radio head unit and eventually you'll find a winner. Having said that, the one criticism I have is that the flexible arm on which the iPod/iPhone sits is a touch too short which really limits where you can have your iPod sitting...this is especially true depending on where the cigaratte lighter adapter is located in your car.
Overall, this is an excellent product which I can definitely recommend.
 Check power socket position before buying November 6, 2008

Belkin iPod TunebaseFM
My Tunebase did not work and I have sent it back as faulty. When I plugged it in to the power socket the green LED lit up and an FM frequency flashed up briefly on the screen. However, with my iPod Nano 3G playing I tried to autoscan that frequency with no success. I then manually tuned to the frequency, but no sound. After a couple of attempts I packed it up and sent it back to Amazon.
Assuming that the product does work as advertised; if you are thinking of buying a TunebaseFM, check the location of the power socket in your car. The socket on my 2007 Toyota Yaris is too low to be able to mount the TunebaseFM securely and at a convenient angle. There is another similar Belkin product, the Tunecast, that might be more appropriate, if it works that is!
awesome piece of kit October 30, 2008
B. K. Fountain (England)
Like many of previous buyers listed below ive had plenty of bad experiences with ipod transmitters for use with car stereos. I recently got an 08 renault clio and since i recieved the transmittor i cnt stop using it! Although i only own the 3rd gen ipod nano this bit of kit seems to be compatible with every ipod on the market, and comes with a variety of holders to fit any type of ipod! The sound is pretty amazing and as good as i want it to be no background noise at all. The auto scan function to search for radio frequencies is immense, saves all the hassle of finding a clean radio frequency! The product itself looks great all set up, with a really helpful flexible neck to adjust to your convenience. At first i was worried about possibly wasting 40 on yet another useless transmittor but with this product your definately getting your moneys worth. Although ive only had it for a week, so far ive had no problems and couldnt be happier with the product. cheerz belkin!
Upgrade from Griffin October 24, 2008
I. S. Pickering
Bought this for a Porsche cayman as an upgrade from the Griffin device. Definitely worth doing for the money... Im sure its short of the capabilities of a fully wired in system (US1,000 apparently!), however really is a decent upgrade from the griffin. Better looking. Better product, quality, design, install, fitment. Better signal and sound. Scan facility works well. Adapters for various ipods provide excellent range. My nano fits in real good nice and tight!!! V Happy so far..
