Really a rip either way considering what your really paying for, talking about gold digging Microsoft...

:confused: Don't understand the previous comment.

Anyone know if this one is any good? I have a transmitter and its pretty mediocre.

I can confirm that my v1 transmitter works amazingly well in a Ford Escape I rented a while back. It works fairly crappy in a Ford Focus though. I get the impression that the transmitter quality depends more on each car.

I bought this for my wife for $60 when it came out, and it worked flawlessly in her Honda CRV... $29.99 would be a steal for me... (I have an Aux input in my car however...) Note: This is not some cheap FM transmitter that doesn't work... it is a 1st party Microsoft adapter...

Huh? Are you saying that $29 is too expensive for a radio transmitter? Most of then are around $50 from what I've seen...

my V1 car kit was $20 on the buy.com clearance. It is a lifesaver when you rent cars and want to bring your tunes.

I get the impression that the transmitter quality depends more on each car.I would second that comment. I have one of these and a couple of other brands. None are mind blowing and all are vehicle dependent.

This one is pretty nice as it provides some controls, specifically for the Zune on the little head unit. That piece is also magnetic, which would be real convinient if there was a metal dash left on any car built in the last 25 years. Does attch firmly to the end of te cigarette lighter part though, if that puts it in a convenient position in your car.

Had a funny incident one time, taking two cars across country. Was looking for a good station and wound up tuning in my wife's FM transmitter. She was ahead of me probably 100 yds in her car. Listened to this great station for several miles, and noticed there were no ads or anything. Called her on the cell and heard the same tunes in the background. This was a device i bought through Seidio, but it looked lke a Belkin model.

the other thing I like about the V1 transmitter is both the plug and the numbers on the readout clow a nice clean bright white. very stylish.

I've grown tired of recording CDs for car. Just bought from you link, thanks. Since the FM reception depends on the car I'll let you know how it works in Audi A6 (4.2) :cool:

Well, I picked one up as well, and can say that it works well on my 98 Audi A4 2.8l. After 10 years, my tape player is just about shot and the tape adapter wasn't working very well.

My next car, whenever that is, will have an aux jack. If my Audi keeps driving like it is now though, that will be another 10 years. I usually get bored with a car in 3-4 years, but not this time. :)

Cool. I hear ya too. My A6 is 9 years old now, but still haven't gotten bored driving (love that) :) We'll see how long it keeps ticking. My next goal...the S5. :cool:
