Simple and convenient to use

Cons
Transmitter power is a tad weak, making unit susceptible to interference
Optimal frequency may not stay optimal for long as you drive into new areas and encounter new stations

Star Rating: 7 stars As with all such transmitters, although convenient the audio quality achieved is not as high as that of a wired connection.
