Can't pass it up at that price. In for one.
I don't suppose anyone has a link to nice cheap SD card to go with this?

Yeah Joker
I have had two of these units, but I bought the identical from *****.
The first one only seemed to work ok. My problem was it tended to wander off frequency and had to be changed about once every 1/2 hour (which is easy) or so around town. Out of the city it was fine. It was stolen and I replaced with another unit and this one works much better, I never have to change frequency now.
I have only used 1 or 2gb SD and same size USB and both work fine. I actually travel with a couple 1gb SD with different mixes and it is super simple to change.
One cool feature also is the jack. I have music on my blackberry and have plugged it in also. I really don't play around much with it but it just linearly plays songs in order 1-100 or whatever with forward and back buttons. The remote works great but I never use it.
You don't have to turn the volume up but this is a YMMV since the first one I had needed to be up more than the regular radio. Personally, this is a $10 unit and worth every penny. It is not a $100 unit priced at $10 but surely is as good as any $50 unit that me or my kids have tried.
One or two other comments: Some times you do have to advance a song if the unit gets "confused" - don't know if its a card, the encoding or the unit.
I'd buy another in a minute. I have bought mine from ***** in the past but they are a little more.

I just wanted to add that I received mine today and it comes with a cable to hook up any mp3 player (through its earphone/lineout jack) and an additional fuse(just in case)
I am very satisfied!

Oh by the way it says it has over 206 FM frequencies you can use.

I just got my yesterday and its ok. I find that some MP3 do not sound the best when played through this FM transmitter. Those same mp3 sound good them played on my computer. Also - When I am driving around its sometimes gets fuzzy radio interference even when I switch frequencies. Other than that it works great.

Got mine yesterday too. Played around with it for a few minutes.
It's kind of bulky for what it is, especially with a USB drive protruding out the back. Works fine with 8 GB Corsair Flash Voyager USB drive. Sound quality is good enough for my use. Volume from the device is somewhat lower than CD/radio source on my head unit. Inability to FF/RW within tracks is more of a negative than it occurred to me when I impulse-bought this. Didn't get into checking navigation between multiple folders or how it handles large numbers of files. Overall it seems to work as advertised, it's a quick-and-dirty way to get some flash-based MP3 capability into an old system.
I'm pretty sure I'd be annoyed with this for everyday use. As something to take along on a trip to plug into a rental car or use in a friend's system on a road trip, this would be fine.
Curious about compatibility with big SDHC (16GB+). I have no SD cards to test here.

I have one of these...but a different brand...it works well you hear some static but not much and it works better than the $80 ones.
Got two last time these where on the front page. They work great took my a few to figure out how to get it on random but after that it no problems. It doesn't even randomly restart like my pos zune.
OMG, Jokersmoker, Welcome Back!
