This product works as designed and allows you to listen to other devices through your FM car stereo. FM interference can be an issue and the different frequencies supported by this inexpensive device may not give you the option you need to avoid the interference. Not bad, but not top of the line either. It works is how I would categorize it.

I recently purchased the Belkin Tunecast; we obviously wanted something to allow us to listen to our mp3 player music (or portable CD player – heck I bet it will even work with my old Walkman cassette player!) on our stereo systems, and this was the easiest and least expensive route to go on our first try.
This model only has 4 channels to choose from, all in the 88 FM range, which is fine here – and it’s not digital.
It plugs into any headphone outlet (i Pod, mp3 player, CD player, cassette player Walkmans from the ’80s — you name it). It’s not just for i Pods – don’t let the name fool you!
The Tunecast is totally battery powered (at least the one I have is), which is a downside to it b/c I’ll forever be replacing its batteries (charge, charge, charge). I’m not sure of the range of it, and frankly I don’t care what the range is because I plan to sit it right next to the radio that will receive the signal. And it works like a charm – I’ve tried it with two mp3 players on two different stereo systems in our home and have no complaints about the sound quality.
The only other issue I have with it, besides that it didn’t come with any sort of power-cord capability, is that to receive s STRONG signal from my mp3 players, I need to turn the mp3 player volume all the way up. Then the signal is just as good of quality as the radio stations and/or a CD player attached to a component system.
I, personally, am looking to a summer of music on our patio without the interruptions of annoying and obnoxious radio station commercials. Finally!

This transmitter was way too weak to perform adequately in my car. If not held within 2-3″ on the radio or by the back window embedded antenna, the radio would not pick it up. I have gone back to a wired tape deck adapter. This device was a waste of money.

This unit was better than most but could be better if Belkin would offer about three more frequencies. This unit does seem to connect to the station that is selected pretty good, even if it is a strong or week broadcast already on that station. Having a fresh strong new set of batteries in the unit helps to get better performance. The “Tunecast” also has low interference with good strong batteries. The audio cord coming from “TuneCast” for your mp3, or CD could stand to be a little bit longer but overall this was a good unit for the price.

I picked up the item on a special deal, figured it was worth a try. I’ve had two major problems. First, you can only select between 4 frequencies. It just so happens that all 4 frequencies were somewhat ‘occupied’ in my area. Second, even when travelling where there frequencies are open, the transmission power of this thing is near zero. It would not work in the car, and even on my home stereo I pretty much had to have the antenna touching the transmitter to get a clear signal. I would recommend spending a little more money on a griffin model (I’ve had success with iTrip) or a higher quality belkin model (just guessing on this one). Good luck!
