TrekStor Vibez 17101 FM Tuner Expansion Card

I love the TrekStor Vibez...the sound quality is outstanding. However, the FM Tuner Expansion Card is as bad as the MP3 player is good. I don't think it could pick up a radio signal if you were standing right next to the station's transmitter. I was very disappointed and ultimately sent it back to Amazon to get my money back. Amazon handled the return very well, promptly crediting my credit card.

So far, I haven't been able to receive any kind of radio signal with the vibez. I know there are some decently powerful stations that I can pick up with an old tape player/radio, but the vibez just can't seem to cut it. I can sweep through the entire spectrum and not pick up a single station. The tuner card inserts fairly easily and snaps in reassuringly, but you're unlikely to actually pick up any stations. The signal bars are there and one or two may be filled, but its apparently never enough for the thing to actually put the sound through.

I, for one, like modularized features such as this FM radio for the Trekstor Vibez. It was easy to install and performs pretty well. That said, the radio is not nearly as sensitive as, let's say, the radio already built into Creative Zen Vision. I get about half the stations with this as compared to the Zen. Of course, the radio in the Zen is far better than average. How can you complain though? If you want an FM radio and own the Vibez, this one's for you.
