Comments about Cables To Go iPod®-Compatible FM Transmitter and Car Charger:
The Good: Very easy installation and setup. A real no-brainer.
The Bad: I'm new to iPods and did not know that there are two charging mechanisms. Older iPods charge via the FireWire port and newer ones charge via the USB port. When I plugged in my iPod, I got a message that charging by this device was not supported. Bummer.
The Ugly: The FM signal is from the unit is not very strong. Naturally, the iPod sits in the front of the car with me. On my car, the radio antenna is mounted on a rear fender. Unless I toss the iPod into the back seat, I get a noisy signal.
