I have tried three different brands in my quest to be able to listen to podcasts while driving. This one has the best electronics of the three, and I would strongly recommend it over the Belkin competition, but I actually find myself using a no-name off brand model (for which I have forgotten the name) more often due to the form factor of the latter (the off brand charges my Sansa Fuze, plays audio directly through the same connection, and mounts securing in the cigarette lighter without the long cord of the Monster RadioPlay.MonsterPros:1) Very easy and convenient to see what frequency is broadcasting (bright red LED's!)2) Very easy to change by feel (no need to take eyes off the road - three large preset toggle buttons3) Fairly good signal strength, about as good as they get (which is not a lot, esp. in big cities where you may or may not be able to find a frequency lower powered enough to use)4) Cord appears to be used as an antenna, so it is position sensitive (sometimes draping it over a seat will allow the signal to better reach the antenna (esp. if you have an external one like my car).5) Good sound quality for what it is (Monster apparently filters out my alternator's interference as I don't hear it any when using this transmitter.6) Cool looking cigarette lighter plug logo glows when powered -this is very helpful when trying to troubleshoot (is the cigarette lighter plug loose? no, the light is on...)Cons:1) Cord wrangling is a bit of a nuisance, not terribly long, but sometimes you have to fish the device back into arms reach so you can change the frequency when a new station comes into range.2) Does not charge your Sansa Fuze...just an audio+12v in, FM out device.3) Like any FM Transmitter, it is very frustrating to use in some Urban areas due to interference from radio stations, however it partially compensates by allowing easy station changes (which I have synchronized with my radio presets so only two buttons to push).
