Good quality sound, It has usb connector for power or you can use batteries. Unable to use the usb for mp3 power is my only complaint. Sound Quality seems very close to cd. Just pick a unused or weak fm station, hook the supplied headphone cable to your mp3 player, crank up the volume and enjoy.

Santa bought this for my daughter to use in her Chevy Cavalier. It has surpassed all expectations and is a great value for the money. It is a well built, rugged unit - believe the reviews![...]Thanks CablesToGo!

with two older Pontiacs w/o MP3 inputs, I bought one as a Christmas gift for my son and one for myself. Less than half the price of similar products locally, I wasn't expecting much. far exceeded expectations! Both work great, with just a bit of "radio noise" in quiet passages. NOT audiophile quality, but nice to listen to my Blackberry full of music in the car!

I thought it was dead in the box. There was not a quiet carrier being sent to the FM receiver like any other transmitter. Turns out, it does send out a carrier but the 3.5mm cable has to be plugged in to eliminate the white noise for some reason. The cable has to be the antenna where my other MP3 modulator does not need a cable attached. It plays a thumb drive so the antenna must be internal.

This unit was not purchased for automotive use. It was to be permanently used in a church sound system as a backup for the hard of hearing main transmitter. The problem is: the unit does not turn ON when power is supplied. The rear sound cabinet would have to be unlocked to start this unit every time. If there was a period of silence, the unit would shut OFF on its own. Plus there are a dozen sound operators. Clearly not a unit for professional use.

Even when I hot melt the button down, the unit still shuts OFF. This unit certainly is not going to be the cause of draining your battery dead.

The display has no use other than showing you the frequency it is set at, then it goes dark. It does remember the last setting, however.

I don't have to worry about the ear buds falling out when I move my head. Volume is easier to control. I liked it so much, I bought my mom one for a gift.

Has plenty of presets, so it's easy to find a clear frequency. It doesn't "auto-search" when a frequency gets over-ridden, but I traveled from Indy to Virginia, and only had to change the frequency once!

I use this to listen to my own music and it works like a charm, I was worried when I got it but once installe it worked great. :) I only wish it came in different colors.

I've owned the exact same model from Macally for about three years now, completely identical to the PortAuthority2 product sold here. This thing is so great I just bought three of these to back it up. Tested one out and they work exactly the same. Only downside is the retractable cable, I just bought a beefier cable with the money I saved on these. Has the best signal you can find, almost never gets drowned out by radio stations.

The nice part about this device is that it gives you enough frequencies, to find one that is not busy.

[...] This Port Authority adapter makes it easy for me to listen to my music on my Zune in my car while traveling and the sound quality is amazingly good.

I bought this product to play my mp3 player through my car radio. I does that easily.
We recently had a dinner for 50 guests & I took my laptop, Port Auth.2 Mob. a Bose WaveRadio & a old stereo rcvr w/bookshelf spkrs to the affair.
I just plugged the Port Auth.2 Mob into the laptop Headphone jack, set it to 88.5 then set the Waveradio recvr to the same frequency & we had music all night (had all my music on a flash drive). It worked so well I'd recommend this to everyone.

I like this product because of the fact of how its not that much money and has good audio quality and good performance. I usually use it on long car rides or when i just want to listen to my own music instead of the radio. Overall its a good product and i would recommend it :)

Don't have to replace the stereo in an older vehicle.

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

Opened it up, plugged it in, and works great! Just a bit of sound quality loss, but hey, it's an FM tuner and sounds just like on the stereo. No complaints here. Going to by a second one for my wife's car, she tried it and now she wants it.

I just plug my mp3 player into the cigarette lighter and play my tunes without having to wear headphones while driving (illegal in most states). Loveit!!

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

Used to connect Garmin Nuvi 350 to FM radio. Setup required 2 power outlets, or power splitter - on for the FM xmtr, one to power Garmin. Strong signal, overpowers local FM broadcast station on same frequency. Multiple choices of frequencies. Adjusts easily for most power outlet configs. Retractible 3.5 mm audio cord jams if retracted quickly, but slowly works OK. White color may get dirty looking in time, and makes unit very visible in parked car requiring removal to avoid theft potential.
In summary - good audio for Audible - I have not tried with music, however.
Cable to Go sent device promptly, even after being warned it was "out of stock" but came in 5 days from order.

Sounds better than I thought it would, it is a transmitter so its not perfect plug in quality,but it is very satisfactory.

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

Transmitter worked for a couple of weeks and then kept shutting down after 60 seconds. [...] Apparently it was shutting down even while transmitting. Too bad, since it's a nice concept and a great price. Company offered to refund my purchase price.

I bought this for my husband to use during long hours of snow plowing. He loves it and said 48 hours without sleep isn't all that bad now!

I USE TO THINK THE REVIEWS WERE WRITTEN BY THE COMPANIES SALING THE PRODUCTS, BUT I TOOK THE REVIEWS ABOUT MY MP3 CAR ADAPTOR AND COULD NOT BE MORE SATISFIED. I WILL BE PURCHASING ANOTHER ONE FOR MY WIFE'S VEHICLE. GREAT PRODUCT AND SIMPLE TO INSTALL WITH GREAT SURROUND SOUND.

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

The adapter works fine. The power port/charger didn't work at all. [...]For most vehicle interiors, if they made them in black, that would be better.

i use the product in the car. i can now listen to music in my car and get a break from the radio

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

Works right out of the box; could not be simpler! Plug in the cables, plug in the adapter, turn on the MP3 and you're listening to all of your great selections on your car radio!

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

Excellent product!! Very easy to use. The sound quality is nearly perfect. I dont think you'll find a another iPod car adaptor that works this well at this price.

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

I liked the product. The web site needs work. It does not navigate easily and cannot change the parameters once one enters. As an example, I had great difficulty in getting the right number of items on my shopping car.

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

Use in both car and at home to play MP3's. Excellent signal in car radio. Only problem is tight fit in Honda outlet.

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

I have a BMW Z3 that only has a factory CD installed. Other MP3 converters I've tried get overpowered by other FM stations in the area where I live so I was stuck with AM/FM and the lousy factory CD in the car. The Port Authority2 Converter lets me play my MP3 in the car with absolutely NO problem. Until your converter I never knew how good the sound system in the car was, top up or top down.

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

Easy to use and sounds great once you find the correct frequency. Takes a little bit of getting use to finding a good station, but overall very happy.

Thanks!

This is a great way to take advantage of a beautiful system in my Subaru by plugging in my MP3 player.

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

Even though I had seen both good and bad reviews for this product, I tried to remain optimistic. Unfortunately, it did measure up to my modest expectations. The problem seems to be with the required volume settings. With the iPod volume set at 90% and the car radio volume set at 70%, the audible sound level is only moderate (equal to a 35% volume setting for regular radio playback). Yet even at that volume, distortion is quite noticeable. I tested a variety of volume combinations and radio station settings without improvement. I was able to find 2 stations that were well clear of local area broadcasts, so I feel I can also discount that potential conflict.

Comments about Cables To Go Port Authority2 MP3 to FM Car and Stereo Adapter:

Read a review in the paper that said it was good. I've had other transmitters that were much more expensive and poorly constructed. This one works exactly as advertised. Make sure the jacks are plugged all the way in, find a frequency with no local station, and you are in business.

this device it really cool. After I installed mine, my sister and daughter wanted one for their cars. I love it!!
