Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Want the latest iPod? Here's how to get it for a fiver Comment: Christmas is coming so save your cash! Why purchase something you can get for a fiver. Go to YourIpod.co.cc and sign up. Complete ONE offer - I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!) If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial. All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my iPod and many other things this way, so don't miss out. I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. B8C approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back. Many items to choose from and they send your gift Free of charge. Customer Rating: Summary: Sweet as a nut, can't expect more. Comment: I've been using this for a few weeks now with my iPhone 3G and it works great. Was a bit sceptical and was gonna opt for a cheaper one but I'm glad I didn't. I've not used the two channel thing, just stick to the one. I was too lazy to read the instructions and just read the quick guide and was well away with that. If you knock it, it loses the signal. But the mount is really stable it only loses signal if you decide to adjust the position while it's transmitting. You have to have it in airplane mode so you can't receive calls but it charges it (I read somewhere some of these are compatible with iPhone but won't perform the charge function... was glad to find out this is not the case with this one). Glad I bought it, would recommend. Customer Rating: Summary: Ford Focus Comment: Hi. Thinking of buying this for my son who owns a Ford Focus. With this Belkin Transmitter for an Ipod, there seems to be a problem with several models of cars in relation to where the cigarette lighter/gear stick are situated to enable the fixing of the transmitter. Has anyone used this in a Ford Focus please? If so, were there any obvious problems. I have a basic Belkin transmitter for my Iriver MP3 which works o.k. in our Toyota Yaris, but it requires batteries which always run out at the most inconvenient time. This Belkin apparently doesn't require batteries which would be a big plus. It also looks - am I too old to say it? - Cool! Any advice would be appreciated. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Comment: I've been using this for about a month and am, so far, pretty impressed with it. I have it in my Mini and although the power adapter is a really tight fit in the cigarette lighter socket (so much so, that I have to be careful pulling it out that it doesn't take the entire socket with it!) it works a treat. The unit comes with several adapters for different types of iPod; I'm using it with a 3G iPhone and strangely, I've had to use the iPod video adapter even though it comes with an iPod Touch adapter, which I thought was basically the same casing as the iPhone. Don't get me wrong, the reception isn't perfect and I've discovered that where the iPod is in relation to the radio and at what angle it sits in the cradle makes a BIG difference to how clear the signal is. If you can't seem to get a clear signal and you think you've chosen the best FM station, tinker around with the position of the cradle in relation to your radio head unit and eventually you'll find a winner. Having said that, the one criticism I have is that the flexible arm on which the iPod/iPhone sits is a touch too short which really limits where you can have your iPod sitting...this is especially true depending on where the cigaratte lighter adapter is located in your car. Overall, this is an excellent product which I can definitely recommend. Customer Rating: Summary: Check power socket position before buying Comment: Belkin iPod TunebaseFM My Tunebase did not work and I have sent it back as faulty. When I plugged it in to the power socket the green LED lit up and an FM frequency flashed up briefly on the screen. However, with my iPod Nano 3G playing I tried to autoscan that frequency with no success. I then manually tuned to the frequency, but no sound. After a couple of attempts I packed it up and sent it back to Amazon. Assuming that the product does work as advertised; if you are thinking of buying a TunebaseFM, check the location of the power socket in your car. The socket on my 2007 Toyota Yaris is too low to be able to mount the TunebaseFM securely and at a convenient angle. There is another similar Belkin product, the Tunecast, that might be more appropriate, if it works that is! More Reviews
