Customer Review: Something to be aware of
It does not fit 2003 Camry. I have to cut it a little bit to make it fit. I used a CD based mp3 player to feed the music to it. The problem is the CD is also powered from the cigarette lighter, put the power source at the FM transmitter generate a lot of interference. Latter I found the CD player has to be put away from the FM transmitter or it will generate extra back ground noise which is not tolerable to me. I also tried use my phone to feed music to it, because the phone is powered by battery, the interference between the FM transmitter and phone is much smaller, but it is still there. Unless the unit I bought is faulty, the unit is very sensitive to outside interference. I compared cassette adapter to the FM transmitter, cassette adapter has better treble and not sensitive to any outside interference, FM transmitter has more bass. I prefer cassette adapter because it is closer to CD quality. It is unfortunate that my cassette player only works when it is cool.
Customer Review: HATE IT
I just received this in the mail two days ago and not only has it stopped working, but MY CAR CD PLAYER DECK HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. The cd player has worked perfect in my 96 Honda for 2 years now, and yesterday I put this Coby transmitter in the cigarette lighter and it played for a few seconds (it had worked fine for 2 days) and then everything shut down. The Coby fm transmitter and my cd player!! Neither gets any power now regardless of whether or not the other product is on. So basically, this $15 product cost me my $200 cd deck. THANKS FOR NOTHING COBY. BUYER BEWARE!! It's hard to believe nobody else has had this problem so if anyone else has advice please comment but i'm afraid I am out of luck.
