BELKIN F8V3080 -- Listen to music from your MP3 player through this dedicated FM stereo receiver. The BELKIN TuneCast II FM Transmitter connects portable music players to your car or home stereo using FM radio waves. Includes a Belkin Mobile Power Cord that connects to your car's cigarette lighter to provide extended power while you're on the road Color - Gray

The Belkin Portable Music TuneCast II FM Transmitter puts music from your portable music player, CD player, or PC through you FM car or home stereo. All you have to do is plug the TuneCast II into the headphone jack of your player or computer, tune your stereo or receiver to any clear FM frequency, then enjoy your music experience with more sound and fewer wires. An automatic on/off function turns the TuneCast II on when an audio signal is detected. If no signal is detected for a period of 60 seconds, your TuneCast II switches off, lengthening battery life while simplifying your life.

The system features four programmable memory slots and a Belkin Mobile Power Cord that connects to your car's cigarette lighter to provide power for the transmitter. Two AAA batteries are included, and an LED light comes on to show you when the TuneCast II is running low on power.

If this is the only solution for listening to whatever it is you want in your car, go for it, but a better investment would be another car stereo with an auxillery port + cable. No static with that setup. I'm sure static is a problem with a lot of these transmitters but like I said, why bother with one of these when you get a much better solution like the afformentioned.

I was a little surprised when I saw what these were going for online. I found mine at Walmart for [...]. I knew right from the jump it would not sound as good as the many others that sell for upwards of [...], and Boy was I right. The sound quality is less than par. I did mess around with location in the vehicle and that did help a little. I'm planing on adding a longer cord since the one it comes with is ridiculously short. I heard this will greatly increase performance as the cord doubles as the transmit antenna. All in all, if your looking for a cheap way to get sound into your CD player and have no input jack, this will work. Barely

I have to agree with a better portion of the reviews on here.
It works but the sound is terrible - muffled & alot of background noise.
I gave it 2 stars because it does function but would have only given it 1 star for the sound quality alone.
Find something else.

I bought this item due to the cost; it's very inexpensive. This was the first time I had purchased an FM transmitter so I didn't know what to expect. The reception is terrible and the sound quality extremely poor. I returned it the next day in part because the batteries died within an hour. I would suggest spending the extra money and getting better sound.

I bought this because it seemed a good price. The second the scratchy sound came through, I thought two things:
1- my fathers advice- it's better to buy the best thing once, than the cheapest thing twice
2- why would I have spent so much on my ipod and then so little on this?

just return it and get the best thing you can afford.
