Customer reviews

Easy to use 4
Pros:
This transmitter is very easy to use. The display is large enough to see from the driver's seat and the buttons are large and easily accessible. The included cable is long enough to let you set your Sansa on the dashboard, on the seat, and allow users in the backseat to control it. It's on automatically when you turn on your car or plug it in, so it's very convenient.

Cons:
This isn't the strongest transmitter, so you have to be very careful to find a frequency that has no transmission on it, or you can get bleed-through or static. This has only been a problem for me on longer trips where stations varied along the way, but it was still annoying to try and find a new station when a very weak radio signal was interfering.
I liked to sit with my Sansa in my lap and a few times I forgot to unhook it before getting out of the car. The jolt of standing up with the player in my lap as enough to break the transmitter, first just the face plate came off, and after a few times, the entire unit broke. This obviously is only a problem if you're forgetful and leave the player in your lap, and it did withstand quite a bit of abuse. For me, a unit with a cradle is better.

Mostly a PITA 2
This product was quite a disappointment. Sound quality is poor,there's a constant background hum that rises with the volume, and you need to unplug the player from the device, as well as unplugging the device itself to shut it off. Also,the controls on the player(on-off and volume)don't function when it's plugged in via USB. You need to use the headphone plug instead if you want to turn it off without unplugging everything.

All that,and I haven't even tried it with the car moving!
I tested it parked in the garage, and was so annoyed with all the problems I haven't used it since.It's not worth the hassle and expense to send it back, so I guess it can lay in the console unless I get desperate for some different tunes.

Maybe it will charge my cellphone,though that's hardly worth fifty bucks.

all static noisie 1
DLO 005-2120 TransDock micro for the E2xx, C2xxdidn:t work at all to much static everywhere i went.

Poor quality for the money 2
I bought this to replace an Itrip FM transmitter for my Sansa E280 that died after about a year of use. It is of poor quality versus the itrip. It is difficult to find a station that it can overpower and there is always a high level of static even when it is tuned to a frequency with no evidence of local radio station. In addition to the static, it tends to make the bass tones sound like a symbol is going off in the background at certain times and on certain songs (even the highest quality mp3 or wma). It is nice that it includes an auxiliary jack that you can plug other brands into, but the sound quality is too big of a negative. I have ordered another itrip in hopes that it will last longer than a year this time.

Good product 4
I really like this product and would recommend it to anyone. I do get a little static on some channels, but I can usually find a station that is very clear.
