Kensington Transmitter Auto Charger White Review

I received this charger/transmitter as a gift and I love it! I really feel like I "can't live without it!" The signal strength is great, it charges the iPod while it's transmitting, and costs only a little more than a transmitter that doesn't charge! I wore it out after only a year of use. I would have bought a new one in a heartbeat but I couldn't find this model in any of the local stores so I tried a few others and they just couldn't compare.

The iTrip and similar patch channels had very mixed reviews, and I didn't particularly like the way they looked on the iPod. Then I noticed Monster's iCarPlay, which seemed like a good idea for charging and broadcasting, and I speculated that it might be a better transmitter simply because it has more power to it. While browsing other similar products, I came across this Kensington product. I decided to buy it…

Firstly, as every published FM transmitter review advises, use a cassette adapter or direct input when You can. But if you're like me (no cassette player, direct input costs more $$ than I'm willing to spend), the Kensington charger/transmitter is a good option (don't know if a digital version ever came out). , but it might be an option). The reception in my car is good and I don't have to worry about moving the iPod since the transmitter is in the adapter. The sound is comparable to a…
