Keep your eyes on the road!!!!!.......2007-07-22
I suppose it depends on what type of car that you have to see how you best get use out of the Logic MIP166K FM Transmitter Dock. In my case the dock is right in the way of the gear stick which makes driving a nuisance . Also because of where the cigarette lighter is on my car the dock keeps on falling out all the time - so not only is driving a nuisance it's dangerous. I know that there are better Ipod transmitter's at a little extra cost but I would seriously think about paying a little more for something that isn't dangerous to use. In it's defence if you drive an automatic car or if your cigarette lighter is in a good position then it shoudn't be a problem for you but for me it's downright dangerous.
Not so hot.......2007-06-29
I've nothing against which to compare this, but if it's better than any others then that's not great. Plus points are that it's easy to use, it fits in my car OK and it hokds my iriver no problems. Bad points are: the volume - you have to turn the radio on loud to hear it, a bit of interference, sound is a bit 'thin', and I can't charge my mp3 and play at the same time - as when I plug in the charger it thinks it's connected to a computer and goes into transfer mode. So it might work OK with Ipods but it isn't really the thing for anything else.
Much cheaper than the alternatives but not great quality.......2007-05-09
I'd mostly ditto what the previous reviewer's have said. The technology seems to work fine - the unit seems to transmit and charge fine. I've had problems finding an unused frequency in London but that'll be the same for any products which transmit via radio in a heavily built up area.
Given that the technology bit works fine I found the design of the cradle flawed. The connection from the lighter plug to the main cradle is only jointed so that you can tilt the unit up and down. You can't twist the unit left and right so if your cigarette lighter is anywhere near the gearstick then you're in danger of fouling the gear movement. I found that the arms, while being designed to shift in and out to accommodate different sizes of ipod don't have much tension in them (without a strategically placed elastic band).
If you want a cheap cradle, and are prepared to accommodate a couple of foibles then go for this product. The (better designed) alternatives were much more expensive when I was looking.
Good piece of kit, full of quality features, but large with it........2007-05-02
First I should say that this piece of equipment has a very good feature set and seems to work very well. It was easy to get working and the quality of signal so far (first few days of use) has been very good. Should that change I will repost with details.
I bought this for an audio project of mine because of all the things it said it could do. They have not exaggerated. I don't use an iPod, but can play music from my PDA through the jack, while keeping the GPS charged with the mini-usb (it really sucks battery on long journeys). The transmitter does it's job well, I immediately found a free frequency and there was no interference or hiss, nor did I have to put the volume right up. Scanning in 0.1mHz intervals means that even in crowded airspaces you'll find a free one. The range available to choose from was even better than my car radio could pick up!!
A possible drawback is the amount of space it takes up. Despite not being that much bigger than a large cradle, the lighter adapter is really long! Not too much of a problem for me since I was going to cut it up anyway, but it sticks out a good 4" which would have got in the way of my gear stick. Bear this in mind when purchasing, will it fit with your layout?
My cigarette lighter wasn't the best place for a cradle either as it was down by my feet. Although you can tilt it up and down, you can't sideways to get a better view. That was for an PDA screens, I guess an mp3 player is not as difficult. The cradle arms aren't sprung either which made keeping hold of a weighty PDA difficult.
As I said, I was cutting it up anyway. However without the serious adapter, the wiring underneath was a little fragile, probably not a problem with the armour plating left on. I will be extending the power wires to have a hub in the arm rest. So far it's looking like it will work well and be simple enough.
I found it difficult finding out precisely what connectors where included, so to save you the gamble here it is:
- built it standard 30-pin iPod connector with short lead
- 3.5mm female port, 2.5mm male to 3.5mm male 50cm cable included (not best quality)
- standard usb power-only port, standard to mini 'D' usb 50cm cable included (or use your own)
All-in-all I am very pleased with this purchase.
LOGIC3 MIP166K FM TRANSMITTER DOCK.......2007-01-27
Great item , plugged my Ipod video in ,tuned in a frequency and the sound was crisp from my radio!! (fits nano's too .. sussed out that you pull the sides out for the larger Ipod videos)
Coupled with the fact that the ipod sits in the docking holder so you can angle your ipod facing you is the icing on the cake :)
Noted that this item was the cheapest price wise I found right here on amazon!
it's listed on other sites from [...] upwards !

Customer Reviews:
It looks nice and it holds my photo iPod at a nice angle.......2005-09-03
It was nice to unpack, slot together, plug in, and stick my iPod into. It has continued to do this every day since I bought it. I sometimes find myself thinking about the crisp corners of my iPod dock when I am away from my desk. I am fully aware of how sad that sounds and do not plan to seek counselling.
