Eh...It gets the job done, but the sound is not even close to the quality of the actual iTrips. I bought this cheaper transmitter after dropping my iTrip, and it's definitely worth the price. There's also a faint high pitched sound for most of the play, when it's set to any station. It works, but not as well as other similar products.
Discontinued for good reasonCompletely useless. Only shows a digital display when Ipod is "fully charged" -- how long does YOUR Ipod stay fully charged? Even when showing digital display doesn't actually broadcast. Maxell replaced it with the p-4A for a reason. Amazon shouldn't even be selling this, it makes me distrust Amazon. I got it as a Christmas present but it was bought in October so they won't even take it back.
Follow up: After I emailed Amazon, they issued a complete refund, which they refused to do over the phone. Now they just need to pull the product, since they (probably wisely) aren't carrying the P-4A and therefore can't recommend it as an option.
BummerThe only positive aspect of this product is it's cool compact design. Other than that it was a complete hassle to deal with. The sound quality is not good and it looses its signal and shuts off every 5 minutes. I recieved my first one and thought it was defective, so I sent it back and got a second, only to realize that the first wasn't defective, the product is just horrible. Don't waste your time or money on this aggrivation.
