 nice package average performance |
| Review Date: February 6, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Charles Brodie, |
| this is a very nice setup. just connect power and ground and the antenna and hide the big parts and mount the box with the input and the switch. sound quality is good with the mp3 player at half volume which means you can not listen to anything loud if that is your thing. the system works if you turn the mp3 player up but the higher you go the more distortion you notice. if all your interested in is low to average sound levels then this is a great product. the connecting is really good much better the transmitter ones that don't plug in. i am happy with the product and use it regularly but it could be better. |

| great product i have it wired after my sirius fm mod so i can have both of them on at the same time. product works great with the sirius on or off. only quirk is make sure you are not on the selected station when you turn on the fm mod (it has a considerable amount of pop) other than that i am putting this in the rest of my vehicles. i haven't had any problems with interference like some others said ( i live in the middle of nowhere but when i go in the cities minneapolis /st. paul mn i don't have any problems there either. |

| This has been awesome to have for my car! It works wonderful and my kids love it! I bought an ipod so that I could listen to my music but they still listen theirs more! Great sound and my husband had an easy time installing it. |
NEVER BUY AN FM TRANSMITTER AGAIN

| Reviewer: S. Blake, |
| This works great and was very easy to install. I will never get one of those FM transmitters again. The sound quality is what you would expect to come over your radio. It isn't digital, like an ipod jack would be, but it is still better than an FM transmitter I have ever used. If you are looking for an upgrade to your FM transmitter, this is it. The only things I did not like were that the light on the switch doesn't seem to turn off and so you have to remember to turn it off every time you use it, and it did not come with any instructions. I have installed stereos before and I was able to figure it out, but it would be difficult for someone who had no experience with this sort of thing to install. It took me about an hour to install and most of that was spent getting into the car's dash. The only tools you need for this besides whatever it takes to get into the dash are a pair of wire cutters and some electrical tape, and the trickiest part is finding a power source in the dash (The cigarette lighter is the easiest to find). 4/5 just because of not having any instructions, but overall a great product. |
Don't Hesitate, just get it

Ford sells a factory component (6R3Z-19A464-AA) called "Triptunes" Ford FM Modulator which is this exact unit rebadged with a Ford sticker. I installed one of the Ford versions ($50 from the dealer) in my wife's 2008 Ford Escape Ltd and it works great. Later, I found this on Amazon, and upon ordering was able to tell the units are identical, though this one is cheaper! I installed the Scosche model in my 1998 Ford Ranger and have been jamming ever since!
To install you'll need the tool to pull out your stereo, a multimeter to identify which cables to connect to, wire connectors to join the wires from this device to the your Stereo power and ground, and a drill or other cutting tool to put a hole in your glove box to route the mp3 jack/pwr switch module.
Overall I found installation to be a real snap and both units have been running great for many months. I do get some low-level hissing feedback if I crank the volume on either the car stereo or my ipod, but if they are balanced it performs very well, better then ANY of the other FM transmitters I have tried, and with less overall feedback than the cassette adapter I used a few years back in my old car.
With the appropriate antenna adapter (not needed for Ford) this would work great an any car I bet. If you have an older vehicle, even vintage-age older, this is an easy way to add an MP3 adapter without any changes to the dash facade! |
