 Easy to use Aug 11, 2010
I'm not particularly adept with electronic devices but found this very easy to set up and the sound is as clear as anyone needs it to be.
 False advertising! Aug 09, 2010
Just as another reviewer mentioned (I wish I had seen that review before I bought this!), this adapter is totally unusable with the iPod Touch. Not only does a little message pop up on the Touch's screen saying the device is not compatible (meaning it won't recharge), the FM radio function also dramatically failed to work.
Do not be fooled by the "compatible with any iPod (adapters included)" ad line for this disappointing product: what they mean is that the iPod Touch will physically fit in the device, not that it will actually work!
Incidentally, the package does not include any means of fastening the device to one's dashboard, so even if it had worked with our Touch, we'd probably still be returning it.
Pyle (the company that made it), I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your souls :(

 Very good for the price Jun 23, 2010
I was very pleased with this purchase. It does not have any preset buttons to save stations, but it does however save the last station it was set to, even when you completely turn off the dock. Some of the other car docks do not do that, so be aware of that. It looked much more expensive than a $20 dock, and is worth the extra 5 bones over one of those bulky ones with the two clamps. My friend has one of those bulky ones, and it just looks cheap and does not work well. The radio tuner is very static free (Even in Denver where the radio is packed with stations for top to bottom) though as with most radio transmitters you lose a lot of bass and treble, and just some amount of sound quality. It sounds a lot better coming from my old school tape deck adapter.
The arm is relatively stable, but it does shake a bit when you're driving, but you can expect that even from the $70-100 ipod car docks. It comes with 4 or 5 adapters, and my ipod video was very stable. My wife's Iphone 3GS also fit will in the dock.
If the sound quality were a bit better, and if it had programmable stations I would have given it a 5. I'm definitely happy with the price I paid and what I recieved. Shipping was pretty fast too, at less than a week.

Quality FM Transmitter Dec 31, 2009
We gave the Pyle Series Ipod Docking Station with FM Transmitter the Road Trip test over Christmas. This product is made of sturdy plastic, the extended coil was necessary as our truck outlets are at the base of the dashboard. The transmitter rested securly on the console, held the my Ipod Nano tightly inplace allowing for excellent sound quality. It did not charge my nano, however when we listened to Kyles Ipod Classic it did charge the classic? The Classic is heavy and we were concerned the connection over time could cause problems, so we placed a 2.5 inch piece of insulation which allows the classic to rest on something soft and not bounch around. The sound quality from the Classic was not as good as the Nano. We only changed stations once as we traveled from Western Washington to Eastern Washington which in my mind is pretty good. You do need to have a navigator change the music settings the way we have, it set up you are reading upside down. All in All a good product, did what it said it would, and at a good price. We both like it, and continue to use it.
