"AMAZING!!! Well worth it for the Zune" on July 22, 2008 by kshamrel

Pros: Great reception, autoscan, presets

Cons: wires can get a little tangled, but you can manage them easily

Summary: I was a little skeptical when my brother got this for me b/c i heard bad things about the 1st generation Zune Car Pack, but i was quickly amazed by this product! I get great reception no matter where i go (so long as you utilize the autoscan feature, which searches for the best reception stations around), and i've gone from seattle to portland to los angeles and i can always find a great station! DON'T LISTEN TO BAD REVIEWS! THOSE PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE SWEET FEATURES ON THIS AWESOME PRODUCT! It does suck if you don't have a Zune, but if you do, you NEED to get this for your car!

"Charges Zune (+) Radio Reception (-)" on February 24, 2009 by ktfarrell95

Pros: Love the magnetic tuner and the two channel presets and the fact that it "talks" to the car's display screen with the artist and the title of what is being played.

Cons: The reception is not very good. I have used an iriver FM charger transmitter for my iriver clix and had no issues with reception. I also used a Phillips FM transmitter and the sound was smooth, not choppy at all.

Summary: At this moment it seems like the Zune Car pack charger is an overpriced Zune charger.

"HORRIBLE PRODUCT!" on February 6, 2009 by donkeycrusher

Pros: Automatically shuts off zune when power is terminated and turns it back on when power is re-established.

Cons: Isn't worth a CRAP! Literally, I'd rather have a bag of poo than this miserable, aggrivating product.

Summary: It won't work on any stations below 100, if you can actually find a station above 100 that picks up the transmission it's filled with static and won't last more than a few minutes, the autosearch is worthless since it lands on stations with a full transmission signal. The idea of the product is fantastic, if they actually turned up the strength of the frequency so your car radio could find it. In summary, HORRIBLE, LOUSY, MISERABLE PRODUCT. save yourself the aggrivation and sing loudly instead.

I would like everyone who gave this piece of garbage a good rating to contact me. I want to be your friend. You obvously have low standards and are easily impressed. Since I'm a bit difficult to get along with and not very impressive, I need friends who possess your qualities.

"I got what I was looking for." on June 8, 2008 by illpala

Pros: good reception, nice look, auto tune, presets, bright clear display, comes with grip pad, charges zune,

Cons: its not cheap, a little wire clutter

Summary: works great
my radio picks up a great signal from it with out any static or other interference even though it was broadcasting close enough to another station to be able to hear that station when the transmitter isn't plugged in.
