I have used the FM transmitter for the first time today with my Iphone4. It works perfectly, much better than my friends one which I used before.
The clear scan and app are easy to use and quick. The sound quality is incredible, there is no static and it picks a frequency which does not get interupted 10 miles down the road as the GPS assist selects a frequency which is not used near by.
The sound quality realy is great, there is no difference compared to listening to a CD!
I can definatly recomend, and it charges the phone

I was trying to find a FM transmitter that worked with my iPhone 4 and this fitted the bill. A couple of small problems surfaced though.
I fitted an Apple bumper to the phone and the plug-in adapter wouldn’t connect without slipping the cover off first, annoying every time you use it. The plug needs to be as slim as the recharger Apple supply as standard. Secondly although the reception was virtually hiss-free when I’d worked out the controls and channel, I had to put the iPhone under the passenger sun visor to get the best reception. This left a cable bisecting you and and the passenger leading up from the cigar lighter socket. I did try other areas like on the seat next to me but it looks like an iPhone holder attached to the dashboard may be the answer. Different cars may have different reception areas so maybe it’s mine.
Overall a great product and the iPhone app using GPS is a great help finding a free channel for tuning. It works fine with my 1G iPod Touch as well even though it throws up a warning telling you to use the app which I can’t. You won’t be disappointed.

Only having an iPhone, I had the misfortune to try a few other iPod FM transmitters. Be wary if you are looking for an FM transmitter that works with an iPhone, interference will cause problems. NOT with this product from Belkin, it is designed to work flawlessly with the iPhone. As soon as I got it, I went for a drive past some cell towers where I knew I would pick up some cell chatter, the reception was clean!
I recommend getting this product if you need / want an FM transmitter and don’t go down the expensive route of trying out others. This one works out of the box and the quality of the audio is more than acceptable.

Got this for when I bought a new car for my iPhone 3G. I previously had a direct line input. It took a while to find the correct frequency and setup. Once setup correctly the quality is quite good, but not the same standard as my direct line input. The transmitter charges which is very handy as the battery on the iPhone is always in need of a top up. It displays the track / artist on the RDS display a very good feature. I was looking at getting a professional iPhone connection for my car but the price for one was silly money. I use two cars so this is easily transferrable between cars. Having done some research I would suggest unscrewing to remove your external aerial if you only use this (to reduce interference) and use the lowest frequency on your radio where no other station broadcasts!! I have tried several other FM transmitters and this one is by far the best audio quality.
Overall I would recommend this product as a good value option but if you are looking for really good quality then look for a direct input option.

This product was ordered as a surprise birthday present for my Husband. I ordered it on the 1st August, it was promptly delivered on the 4th August, excellent service.
The product is everything is says on the packet, it meets expectations as it was purchased for use with the new i-phone. And delivers what it says. Hubby is delighted.
Thanks
