Review
Great product. Small, light, and does it's job well. It has all the features I was looking for. Usable with any device, can select from any frequency on the whole band, can store up to four preset frequencies and powers on automatically when you plug in/turn on lighter socket power/turn on device.
I chose it specifically because it has the USB port, so I can play music all day in the car without running down the battery on my device.
I did have a problem with my original unit...power stopped being supplied to the USB port. Wasn't a fuse. Had it exchanged, and the new unit has been fine so far.

Pretty good overall
Works as described, so for the money it's pretty nice. I recommend doing what others have suggested about changing the mode to "INT" to allow access to lower frequencies (87.9, for example). I recently used it on a long trip and it did just fine, even through some large cities, with only occasional and brief static.

My only beef is the auto shut-off, which can be maddening for "softer" songs. It turns itself off after 30 or so seconds when it doesn't "hear" music. It only requires the pressing of one-button to turn back on, so the actual delay depends on how quickly you can hit the button. I wish this so-called "feature" could be disabled or the sensitivity adjusted. That's what's keeping it at 3 stars, not 4.

Very nice
This item is great for in the car when there is nothing on the radio but commercials. I like that it has the charging capabilities. The sound quality isn't fabulous but its better than the radio!
