Maxell P-13 Stereo FM Transmitter

Editorial Review

Allows you to play your iPod or iPod mini, MP3, CD & other portable players through your car or home stereo / Transmits on 4 FM channels / Requires 3 AAA

Play your iPod, MP3 player, CD player, or other portable audio device through any FM radio--including your car stereo--with this Maxell stereo FM transmitter. The unit is easy to use: just connect your audio device through its 3.5 mm headphone jack, then tune your radio to one of the four corresponding FM channels (preferably one that's entirely static). Once you set the transmitter to the same frequency, you'll hear your favorite iPod, MP3, or CD tracks through your car or home stereo speakers, all without hassling with cumbersome cables. The transmitter is ultra-light and compact, taking up virtually no space in the car. And thanks to the unit's high-quality design, listeners will enjoy crisp stereo sound. The FM transmitter, which works with any audio device with a 3.5 mm headphone jack, runs for roughly 24 hours on three AAA batteries (not included) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

• Garbage
  This little piece of worthless plastic trash does absolutely nothing. Batteries are in, iPod is on, doesn't work on any radio in the house, on any frequency, and does not work in the car. Oh, correction, it worked for about 2 seconds in the car, but was immediately overcome by static, and did not work again. Please do not waste your hard-earned money on this. Maxell, please stop ripping off America. Thanks.
• excellent for the price
  I'd give this thing 5 stars for the price, but the lack of useful instructions & operating tips with the unit made me take away a star, & is probably the reason for some poor reviews here.
  First, the unit does not have 4 "bands". It has 4 frequencies to choose from between 88.1-88.7mhz. If you have a crummy radio that only picks up strong stations, or picks up bits of a strong station on more than 1 place on the dial, most FM transmitters will give you problems with those basic & cheap... more info
• Awful. Avoid.
  This item does not work well. The sound is poor, there is intermittent static and it drifts in and out while driving. You will find yourself spending way too much time fussing with it while you are trying to drive.
  In addition, the design is AWFUL. It pivots around on the headphone jack and does not stay stable at all. In addition, the on/off button is placed in such a way that you can virtually guarantee that you will accidentally turn it on if you put this in a pocket, briefcase, backpack. Really... more info
• just ok
  I bought this since it was the cheapest transmitter I could find. Maxell usually makes good accessories, but this one was not one of their better products. Although I could listen to music on my mp3 player, I couldn't put the player down while driving. I had to hold it while driving with one hand to get the best possible sound! Otherwise all I heard was static. Also, why does this small device need 3 AAA batteries? Kind of odd in my opinion. There's an on/off switch that you shouldn't forget about either or... more info
