Yes this is one of the most expensive of the mini FM transmitters commercially available, but I think one of the best. I previously purchased a SIIG Wireless Audio Link Pro, mostly because you could power it through a USB port. I returned it a week later. The think had very poor broadcasting and the package was misleading. It claimed 87-107 FM frequency when in fact it was actually 87-89 and 106-107 only.
Now, why tell you this? Because the Tunecaster II is everything that one was not. It gives beautiful tranmission power. I was able to get clear reception on my car stereo within one minute of having the thing out of the box, even living in the Boston area. Secondly, this item will allow you to select a frequency from 87 to 107 within the FM band, ANY FREQUENCY!!! The cheaper $20-30 transmitters only have a very limited bandwidth, making it difficult to find a frequency without competition from station broadcasters. Plus, with 4 programmable save settings, you can find 4 different "optimal" frequencies and program them in for quick scanning if the frequency you are currently using suddenly starts getting crowded. Although it does not have a USB plug to power it (instead of the included batteries), it does have a car adapter to power from your lighter or accessory plug, which is almost as good.

One of the biggest disappointments with my new car was the lack of an input jack on the stereo. I had looked into buying a new head for my stereo, but soon realized this was out of my price range and didn't make sense w/ my stock speakers.

I began looking at FM modulators/transmitters because I wanted to listen to my IPOD in my car and I do not have a tape player. I just purchased the TuneCast II and began using it. It works wonderfully! I haven't heard any static...or any of the problems normally associated with a FM modulator. I don't live in the middle of no-where either. I live in the large metropolitan area of Kansas City, MO (over 1 million people).

I don't know how well this would work on the East or West Coasts...but out here in the Midwest, it worked excellently! Excellent sound quality, little to no interference.

i've never written a review of any of the products i've bought from amazon before, but i felt pretty compelled to write one about this.

if you consider the price and utility tradeoffs for this transmitter, its of good value. of course you can't expect to get cd quality transmission from this, but it works pretty well for the most part. the only bad thing i've found so far is that even on stations where i get the clearest signals, there is some static in the background. this static is only audible when a song is at a quiet part or when there is no song playing so it isn't as bad as you may think. other than that, the sound quality actually kind of surprised me. btw, i live in los angeles where almost every station has some sort of signal, which is also why i am surprised that the product works as well as it does.

overall, i am pleased with my purchase and although i haven't tried any other fm transmitters out there, i would recommend others to buy this if you can't use a cassette adapter.
