Great product for the price... January 6, 2009
This product was a great buy. I purchased it from DreamBargains and they provided me with a very expedient service. They must have shipped this item the very day I ordered it. The product was 'as stated' and for the price, you won't find anything else out there that is any better. I seemed to recall that in a earlier review, someone claimed that the usb was a cleaner sounding setup than the external mp3 player - but this is not the case for me. The system works really well with an external mp3 player and there is some static that comes with the use of the usb port. Also, there is a funny side- effect with not using the mp3 player. If you move the usb stick or go over a bump and it wiggles the unit going down the road it will make a thump noise. If you tap on it, it sounds as though you are tapping on a live microphone ... weird. But, as I've said ... for the price you can't beat it!!! I would have given this thing a 5 star rating if it weren't for the poor audio (slight static) that occurs when using a usb thumb-drive. I haven't tried the SD slot yet, but will once I receive it in the mail. The audio jack input on the side is the way to go so far. Sounds pretty darn good, considering the price. Once again, DealBargains will get a return customer.
 Fuses Blow and Does Not Work with 8GB Kingmax Super Stick December 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the 8GB Kingmax Super Stick because of it's super-tiny size. This unit did not work with my Super Stick. It kept saying "No MP3's Loaded" or something to that effect.
I read online that the possible answer for this is because drives with available security (which I was not aware that the Kingmax had, if at all...still not sure, as this is just the only explanation I could find online) have a little "mini" FAT12 "virtual floppy" drive in the very beginning of the drive, hardwired into it, that can "take over" and stop access to the drive if there is encryption enabled.
The problem stated in the article I found was that a player like this will see the FAT12 part and ignore your (probably) FAT32 second section, saying "no MP3's."
Once I determined that this was probably the case, the unit then proceeded to blow it's fuse. Then it blew it's second fuse. I did not do anything to it, even bend the elbow. It just started doing it.
I really love the idea of this unit and was very excited to get it, but in reality it kind of let me down. I am sure it would work fine for anyone with a compatible drive, but just not mine. Too bad, the Kingmax Super Sticks are 100% awesome.
 I won t recommand this product December 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I won t recommand this product. I bought this product one month back which was working fine. Sometimes the remote was working and sometimes not. Now there is a new problem on this device. It is showing error messages like "No Device" and "No MP3 Files" I tried with all the 4 input. But still showing the same error. I went to amazon to check if I can return this product or to fix the error on this product. But they are helpless. Their statement amazon is not responsible for fixing the error and we have to contact the original owner of this product. Also the customer needs to take care of expenditures for returning the device for fixing the problem or even for the refund. I won t recommand this product at all.
 IMPORTANT PRODUCT USAGE INFORMATION December 25, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have had many FM Wireless Transmitters over the years. This is the least expensive (<$12) device and has the most features. Excellent Value, except for fuse problem (see below).
If after reading this review, it helps you to either purchase this product or pass it up, I hope you'll click the YES button at the bottom of this review (this way, the review can be found by buyers trying to choose between FM Wireless Tramsmitters ... Thank you!)
IMPORTANT: Turn the volume level on the wireless FM Transmitter to medium to medium/high! I set mine on 12 (out of 15). This affects the quality of the FM transmission from the FM Wireless Transmitter to your car's stereo. Reviewers who have complained about poor quality of audio or static probably did not do this!
Additionally, if you are connecting your MP3 player (instead of Mini SD memory card or USB drive) you MUST turn the volume of the MP3 player up to a medium-high volume level.
WHAT TO EXPECT: The FM Wireless Transmitter is very light weight and fits loosely in the car's power adapter. When compared to other typical power adapter devices (i.e. Mobile Phone Charger), this may give you the impression of low quality.
An important product feature of this device is that it allows you to choose the FM frequency you would like to use to transmit to your radio. Additionally, this is the most powerful FM Transmitters that I have ever used. It easily overrides existing radio station if you choose. The signal strength of the transmission relates directly to the `VOLUME' setting (see above).
When you disconnect the FM Wireless Transmitter or shut off your car, the FM Wireless Transmitter's internal memory will store all the device setting including the last song played from a memory device. When you plug in the 1/8 mini plug cable (about 1 foot long with Male to Male plugs on both ends) to connect a MP3 Player, the attached memory cards or USB device will not be accessible. If you are using memory cards or USB drives when initially installing the device, leave the cable unplug.
The wireless remote control to the FM Wireless Transmitter works fine, but you do need to press hard enough so that within the button's switch electrical contact is made. Also, the remote is infra-red and needs to be in the line-of-site to the FM Wireless Transmitter. If the transmitter is hidden by a gearshift, or back of a seat, the remote control will not work.
PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION: The `user manual' is just a small slip of folded paper with multi-language instruction and a few inaccuracies. For example, the documentation referred to the label name/symbol of buttons on the FM Wireless Transmitter, but the physical device had different name/symbols. The product documentation referring to the remote control is accurate, and you can completely configure and control the transmitter via the remote control.
WHAT REALLY SUCKS: For what ever reason, you can blow the internal FUSE. I did replace the fuse on mine two times now in less than 2 weeks.
NOTE: Two spare fuses are included in the product packaging.
EASY FUSE REPLACEMENT: Unscrew the tip of plug by gripping the base of the plug firmly and the small black plastic tip at the very end (very little black plastic on the tip to take a hold of and farther to the end than the metal ring), be careful when doing this or you will drop the FUSE and loose the cap that goes over the FUSE. Once apart, it's a no-brainer to swap out the FUSE.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Buy a Micro SD card with a Mini SD adapter. I bought mine on Amazon from ChiTek (Amazon Vendor) for $1.75 and $4.50 shipping. The Micro SD card was 2 GB from SanDisk. The Micro SD Card slides into the Mini SD adapter so that it is compatible with the FM Wireless Transmitter card slot. I suggest getting the Micro SD memory instead of Mini SD memory because it will be more versatile in the near future (phones, camera's)...etc. Additionally, you if do not have a Micro SD or Mini SD card reader on your computer, you can get one from Amazon.
If you are looking for a memory card on Amazon to go with the FM Wireless Transmitter use the keyword `BULK' in your search. For an exact search for the memory product I used copy and paste = "SanDisk 2GB MicroSD/TransFlash Card w/SD Adapter".
Good Performance but refuses to recognize MMC quite often December 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was really happy to receive the product. 2 days it worked very well. The third day onwards it had difficulty in detecting the MMC. Also I had to remove it from the socket, when it refused to recognize. When there were bumps on the road, it restarted. So I had to listen to the same song repeatedly.
Overall, I like this product, because I do not want to spend $80 towards a CD player in my old car.
