DLO TransCast FM Transmitter for MP3 Players

 (21 customer reviews)

I know this product has received mixed reviews. All I can say is it works for me.

1) I drive a Honda, the radio is set up in 0.2mhz increments. If I can find a dead station, anyone can.
2) Max the volume on your player
3) Cigarette lighter adapter works well.

I have used around town and on long trips (5-8 hours). The only thing you need to be aware of is having to hunt for a new station as you drive X distance.

Sound quality can be controlled by the player, as the transmitter uses the headphone jack.
If your going to bass boost the player, set the radio to flat until you hear what it sounds like.

I use mine with a Creative Zen Vision:M. Does the job, and does it for a reasonable price.

The DLO TransCast FM device seems like a great idea. It is small and packaged nicely. I thought I was getting a great deal at $20, but the device was intermittent and staticy from day one. After I gave up on it, I tore the device open and discovered a cracked solder joint on the socket where the power jack plugs in. Even though the root cause could have been a cold solder joint (manufacturing problem), I suspect failure was because the tiny socket wasn't mechanically secured. The force of plugging in the jack was borne completely by the PC board pad and solder.

It's decent for the price. real small. it has a great range on it. i leave it in my bedroom and listen to it all over the house. it has clear sound and signal as well. i guess it all depends on your configuration :).
