Customer Critiques


I bought this unit with a particular objective in mind using the RDS functionality. I just recieved this unit yesterday and it is pretty impressive thinking about the low fees and RDS functionality.
1. Sound - This is tricky. The sound is beneficial working with USB and SD cards as your supply. However, the sound is fantastic when you use the Analog input(two.5mm input I would have expected the sound to be superior with USB/SD cards. I was blown away when I played my Sony MP3 player thru the input jack. It sounded great. four.5 Stars right here)
two.) Power - This is powered by a 12v cigarette lighter plug. I wanted to use it in the home and power it from an AC outlet. I made use of a litte converter particularly created for that objective. On other units, as soon as you plug the unit into AC, you get a nasty small hum, and from time to time static. When this unit, it is really clean, no hum at all. 5 Stars for that)
3.) Ease of Use - This unit has a incredibly simple display that can be cryptic if you do not read the directions. It is much easier to use by way of the remote manage,than the buttons on the unit. Most notable is the equalizer display which also doubles as a Volume Unit VU) meter. The directions do not mention that, but that is how it functions. There is also a volume manage on the remote, but not on the unit itself. You can save up to 7 FM freqencies in memory and use the remote to scan the frequencies, pretty cool.
four.) RDS - This is the feature I was most curious about. The directions say that RDS only operates with the USB memory port, nevertheless that is not accurate. It also worked with the SD card port as well, which was a nice surprise. The SD card hides away neatly. When you use a USB Flash drive, the flash drive sticks out and takes away from the compact form element. The unit displays the name of the Song, track number and folder name. It also displays " Musicfly" intermittenly when a song is playing via SD or USB use. It displays "Musicfly" continuously if no song is playing. I am assuming this is an marketing splash screen from Sound Fly). Didn't see anyway to get rid of this.
Here is a further operational quirk not mentioned in the intructions. If you choose to use the Analog input, but leave a USB or SD card in the unit,t he unit will keep playing and displaying the Song data on your RDS radio screen even even though the audio switches the Analog Supply. This was actually a plus for me given that it indicates I can search through memory cards when listening to one more audio source.
five.) Transmission Range - This is the only location where I was dissappointed. In all fairness to Satechi, it is advertised as a private transmitter, and is possibly not designed to transmit fairly far. That being said, I have other individual units that will transmit more than 75 ft. line of sight) with no problem. This unit may possibly give you 15 ft, but operates top inside ten ft of your radio. If Sound Fly would add just a tiny bit a lot more power to this unit, it would be a terrific unit.
Summary -- The sound is excellent on the Analog input jack, Sound is decent applying SD or USB input. The remote control is pretty helpful and adds some functionality that you can not do with buttons on the unit. do not loose your remote) It can be powered with AC/DC converters sources with no the worry about HUM and interference. The RDS display functions nicely if your radio is so equipped. I have only been in a position to locate, 1 other RDS capable transmitter(Kennsington) and it is for the Ipod only and fees twice as considerably as this a single.)
The only downdside for this unit for me is the transmission range, but that should certainly not be a challenge for everyone making use of this in a automobile.
Would I decide to buy a different one particular ? Yes

I did finally take this unit out an use in my automobile driving about town and it worked flawlessy most of the time. The only propblem, as I mentioned earlier, is power. You get a litte bit of hiss on the radio at different times, and I also noticed that if you pass an additional auto that may possibly be utilizing a comparable device, you will get interference from that passing cars' transmitter. As we use to say in the old days of CB radio, other transmitters just " step all more than" this device. I do not have this predicament with my VR3 transmitter. So once more, if Satechi would add just a litte even more power, this would be a 5 Star Unit.

This unit is amazing and has easily turn into my favorite player transmitter. The sound is superb and I only seem to have interferrence in heavy traffic or downtown Atlanta) settings. This unit is so straightforward to use. I also want to right one thing I stated earlier, you can adjust the volume without having the remote. You just have to press the right sequence of buttons to do it. I program to order two way more of these for Christmas Gifts.

Still love this transmitter. Take it with me when traveling because it functions excellent in rental vehicles. Only issue now is not a problem with the unit, but neighborhood problem. CDC( Center for Disease Control makes use of the 87.9 frequency for low power FM Emergency Broadcast. Anytime you are inside about 3 miles of the CDC, all you hear is the CDC announcer. I had to program an alternate frequency for use when I travel near CDC now. The only dilemma is there are not that many open frequencies above 88.1 in the Altanta area any longer. 87.9 is still your very best selection in most areas.
Update 09/21/2011
Nonetheless using this item and it nevertheless functions excellent. I am utilizing it in an older truck now that only had a am /fm / Cassette Player Head Unit. This is a pretty quick way to get alternative music. Nonetheless wish this had just a small a lot more power, but other than than that, it is a decent transmitter and only one particular of two or three that I have located that have RDS capability.

I've had an VR3 FM USB Vehicle Transmitter for two years. It had no remote in contrast to the Soundfly, but I loved using it. Even so, there were issues that I discovered most
frustrating when utilizing it and I did not realise this till soon after I'd purchased it.
VR3 MP3 Player FM Transmitter frustrations:
1) It would not recall where I last was listening to.
two) I couldn't quickly forward nor rewind. Arrgh! You could only skip in between tracks. This was frustrating due to the fact I have a habit of rewinding to listen to parts of my audio tracks once again and once again and of course I can't quick forward by means of averts. It was specially frustrating given that of point 1 above as I would generally have to start listening from the starting of a track. Particularly annoying when listening to lengthy tracks.
three) No remote - Please note most FM transmitters don't come with FF or RW functions on the remote's either.
four) It was white and it was ugly.
5) Restricted frequency range. A lot of these devices only permit you turn use the upper and lower FM frequency ranges.
6) It takes USB dongles and SD cards but the SD cards are limited to 2GB.
Now for the Soundfly SD:
1) The SoundFly SD remembers precisely where you had been last listening to. This is so refreshing as I can just turn off the automobile and when I subsequent climb back in and start out the auto, with the SoundFly SD plugged into the car lighter socket, it just begins correct of from where I left last. Amazing! Bear in thoughts I have a new model automobile less than four years old, but a lot of these devices just die when a automobile is began and the device has been accidentally left in. I've not had a single dilemma with using the Soundly this way, and I think I have no reason to worry about it. You even have a bookmarking facility.
2) I can quick forward and rewind to my hearts content. Even with the remote.
three) The remote is is truly rather handy, in particular when driving. You can absolutely use the controls on the device itself, but the remote is simpler. It is not as well difficult to keep in mind the position of the keypad buttons, so applying the remote whilst driving is very simple. Don't crash.
four) This FM transmitter is black. The device itself is a heck of a lot additional desirable than the VR3 I have. It is even smaller.
5) You can tune into all the FM frequency range in single actions, so there's no shortage of locations to acquire a gap in the FM range. The Soundfly can bear in mind up to seven bookmarked spots. As for the strength of the FM transmitter, it really is undoubtedly no worse than the VR3. But in contrast to the VR3 I have a considerably broader spectrum of FM frequencies to attempt to discover a clear spot. A lot superior.
6) The device takes USB dongles SD cards. But this device takes the High Capacity ones up 32GB.
Other points to note. You can also connect your iPod or MP3 player through the supplied cable. You also get a 10A fuse. In case you can not figure out what it's for, and it is not stated in the directions, the device has a fuse inside the element that pushes into the lighter socket. That ought to blow prior to the device does. Handy if you leave the device in all the time. If the device stops operating, check the fuse. You unscrew the end. The instructions are clear, but one point of note is that it doesn't show you how to adjust the fuse.
I'm so pleased with this FM transmitter and extremely advocate it to anybody who'll listen. The only issue I can think that is lacking with this is Bluetooth. I would enjoy for this device to be able to communicate with my phone or Bluetooth headset (if I had some), or or an MP3 player that had Bluetooth.
