    • The quality is very good

    • Besides giving good sound quality, it is very easy to use.
    • I like how the iCarPlay uses the dock connector instead of the headphone plug -- it broadcasts independently of the iPod's volume, so you don't have to worry about messing around with the volume on the iPod and on the car radio to try and find the best quality
    • If you like the sound Quality of your ipod degraded 30 to 40 %, then this is the item for you

    • There's no visible antenna on the 2006 car, so hard to guess where to position the unit to improve the sound quality.(Holding the cable and turning yourself into a big antenna helps marginally
    • Sound quality while driving is more like AM radio or a poor quality portable phone, with static, interference from other radio stations, and a whine that increased with engine speed.
    • The two stations that did pick it up had horrible sound quality (static and hollow sounding).
    • This was tested with the car not moving, so I can't verify what the quality is like while driving
    • This one is compact and delivers great sound quality (for what it is - remember you can't expect Bose-quality sound from something broadcasting over FM!)
    • Sound quality while driving is more like AM radio or a poor quality portable phone, with static, interference from other radio stations, and a whine that increased with engine speed.
    • (We hadn't thought of that before...but not sure if the quality would even be as good as it is on this one.)
    • For the Griffin iTrip FM transmitter for dockable iPods this problem seems to be much less significant (but not totally absent as they claim in their manual) and this seems to be related to the fact that they use digital technology (versus analog technology which is used by competing products) to beam the signal to your FM radio and this apparently makes the quality of the signal better, stronger and cleaner.3

    • but i really love it the sound quality is awsome
    • Sound quality, absolutely amazing!!
