THE PRODUCT - I was looking for a middle of the road iPod speaker because I wasn't interested in paying $200 for a BOSE iPod speaker. I wanted something small, simple and reasonably priced. THIS IS IT! Don't expect BOSE quality sound, but it is more than adequate for a desktop speaker in an office or to make your 1st gen iPod touch a great alarm clock (which it has inside it, but no built in external speakers to make it useful) Also, this dock is a great way to charge the touch, which does not come with a wall charging adapter.
THE CUSTOMER SERVICE - The only glitch in my experience was that the speaker/dock did not come with a universal iPod touch adapter. Your iPod will still attach to the speaker and work fine, and for the most part sit on the dock solidly. But the adapter makes it much more solid. I e-mailed Satechi and asked for an adapter. They CALLED me back, that's right CALLED me back, and offered to send one out free of charge. THAT'S an A+ in my book.

I first bought this item with the boombox.(big mistake)receiver was alway very hot to the touch after use.
After a little over a year(one year warrenty)it burnt out.
I replaced the receiver and after a little over another year, the sheild around the connection point for the antenna broke away. It could not see the antenna anymore.I then replaced the received a third time. It only worked for 3.5 hours,then went silent,it would not re-activate after that.
I have now returned it and bought the Stiletto 100 from Sirius. IT IS AWSOME!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! Stay away from all X-act products.The service at X-act is even worse then their products.

Enjoy all 120 channels of Sirius satellite radio while driving in your car with XAct's XTR1CK plug-and-play vehicle kit. Equipped with an XTR1 satellite radio receiver, a four-position vehicle docking cradle, a satellite antenna, and a 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter, the kit includes everything you need to enjoy satellite radio while cruising anywhere in the 48 contiguous U.S. states.
The XTR1 conveniently displays all artist, song, and channel information on its six-line readout, which also includes a satellite-updated real-time clock. Meanwhile, selecting channels and menu options is a snap thanks to the large, easy-to-access illuminated buttons. And drivers will delight in such bonuses as the 18 station presets, which let you quickly access your favorite streams, and the S-Seek feature, which lets you know when one of your 10 stored song titles is playing on a given Sirius channel. You can even search the up-to-the-minute Sirius playlists by category, channel, artist, or song title.
The XTR1 sends its signal to your stereo receiver through its built-in wireless FM transmitter, which "broadcasts" the satellite signal over an unused FM frequency--no hardwiring required. As an alternative, you can also connect the XTR1 tuner directly to you stereo's input jack (if it has one) with the included patch cable for the best possible sound quality. And the docking cradle is versatile enough to work on almost any surface in your car, including the sun visor, windshield, or dashboard.
Additional features include a wireless remote for controlling the tuner from a distance; a sleep timer and traditional alarm; a lock function that lets you restrict access (via password) to Sirius' more off-color content, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack for private listening. The XTR1 tuner, which measures 2.75 by 4.62 by 1.38 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
Note: You must subscribe to Sirius satellite radio to receive the satellite radio signal.
What's in the Box XTR1 satellite radio tuner, vehicle docking cradle, vehicle antenna, 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter, audio cables, wireless remote control, user's manual.

I recently acquired this charging station when I purchased a new iPod Classic 160 GB. (Replacing a 5 year old 60 GB Photo Classic that died after a rather short life, in my opinion.) This charging station fulfills the same function as the charging station that came with my old iPod (no charging station with the new one) plus provides a simple function remote for working with the music. Basically, you can turn the iPod on or off, adjust volume, or move forward or back on the current play list. All the functionality I need. I cannot comment about the range because my desk is barely 5 feet from my stereo. Seems to work fine over that range.
My concerns:
One: For some reason the charging base has a pilot light that seems essentially useless.
Two: The fit of the iPod into the base is not "tight" like the base was with my old iPod. I wonder if, over time, this will put a strain on the connector pins on the base and/or the iPod.
Three: Having previously used an AirClick remote with my old iPod, I note that this remote carries forward two annoying features.
First, it has a switch to enable/disable the remote. In my experience, this was a useless feature that more often was bumped in error and led to frustration thinking the remove was not working.
Second, if you need to replace the battery inside the remote (it lasted a long time for me with my older AirClick) the bottom of the remote is held on by three of the tiniest screws you can imagine. Ultimately i lost two of the screws on my old remote. Sometimes I would have to take the base off because the battery would shift out of position.
Overall, this product is pretty good. I did not really cross shop other products to see if there was something better because the price was reasonable and it met my needs. Really my biggest concern is about the way the 160 GB iPod Classic is not tightly held in the base.

Use Airdock to connect your iPod directly to your TV , Home Stereo or your Computer !
To use AirDock with your home entertainment system :
1. In this package, we've included our own high-quality HomeConnect AV cable for video and audio connection to your home entertainment system. Plug HomeConnect's 1/8" plug into AirDock's AV out port. Plug the other end of HomeConnect into the appropriate RCA plugs in your entertainment system.
About the Remote
AirDock comes with its own full-function RF remote control, that works through walls, up to 60 feet away. Use it to control Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Previous/Rewind and volume, as you would expect from any remote.
If you have the good fortune to live in a two-AirDock household, AirDock's Pairing feature may be useful. Through Pairing, you can "lock" your AirDock so that it will respond to only one AirDock Remote, ignoring the commands of other remotes in the same household.
Other Features
Your AirDock features video pass-through so you can control a video while it is playing. The Play, Pause, Fast Forward, and Rewind functions on the Remote works as you would expect your DVD player to work.
And, of course you can use AirDock simply as a standard iPod dock, to sync your iPod with files on your computer.

SanDisk Sansa e100 FM Transmitter Review

SanDisk Sansa e100 FM Transmitter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have read a lot of negative reviews about FM car transmitters for MP3 players. I was especially hesitant to buy one from Sandisk because it is not really a well-known MP3 player like iPod, Creative Labs, etc. In the end, I figured it would be worth it because although the Sandisk e140 may not have certain features or size capabilities as others, it was definately a quality product that is very well priced, so I figured the FM transmitter would follow suite. Thankfully, I was right. The FM transmitter is by far one of the best design I have seen. The adjustable neck allows me to set the Transmitter right next to my CD car stereo and tilt it to face me, which allows me to hit the next song button as easy as it is to reach the car stereo. Other products I have seen are limp, or just wires that you have to rest on the center console, or passanger seat. The only downside to this is that although the MP3 player remains powered by the car its indigo light goes off after about a minute so I am unable to see the display. Not really a negative towards the transmitter, but of the MP3 player.
A key element I have read about faulty, or glitched FM tranmitters for MP3 players is that static can be heard in the background no matter how much you turn up the volume, and sound quality is very poor. Regarding the Sandisk, these are not issues at all. There are 3 presets so you dont have to find the good stations every time you use it. In addition, the sound quality is great, perhaps even better than the car stereo sound settings presently depending on the quality of your car stereo. The sound setting can be adjusted on your MP3 player to make the sound quality even more precise than the car stereo's.
Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone who has thought to buy an FM transmitter for their Sansa and avoided it because of other mainstream MP3 brands tainting opinions.
--One last note. I am in Chicago so I dont know if that is a cause for such good empty FM signals for the MP3 transmitter to pick up on.--

The Sansa e100 FM Transmitter lets you listen to all the music stored on your Sansa e100 series MP3 player through your FM car radio. Just put your Sansa e130 or e140 in the custom holder, which sports a flexible steel neck for easy positioning. Then choose any unused FM frequency for clear sound anywhere. The cradle includes three programmable preset buttons, letting you switch easily between preferred transmission frequencies. You can power the FM Transmitter by battery, or you can always plug it into a cigarette lighter output to extend its battery life. You can also take your FM Transmitter with you once you've left your car by attaching the holder to your clothes.

EOS 100RB Additional Black Wireless Remote Speaker for use with EOS base System Review

EOS 100RB Additional Black Wireless Remote Speaker for use with EOS base System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this unit to accompany the main base unit (EOS 100T1RB Wireless Audio System.) I have both wireless speakers (the base unit comes with one) set up in my house which is made primarily of cement and metal rebar. Like any other wireless device (cordless phone or WIFI network) the signal strength does break down with increased distance in this type of home. To my amazement these speakers function quite well in this difficult environment. In a house composed of wood, I would fully expect them to reach the range of manufacturer.
On to the important stuff. I would have given this product five stars, but my only ding is the lack of deep rich base; I'm a purist and like to feel and hear my deep rich base. But I tell you honestly, for the price and the concept these speakers can't be touched. They have amazingly rich sound in the mid and upper range and the independent volume adjustment of each speaker allows you to blend the music evenly depending on your listening environment. The speakers have a plug that either remains affixed to the back and you plug the speaker directly into the wall (think night light style, covers plug) or you can remove the plug and it has about a three foot wire lead that allows you to place the speaker on a table or as I have them, on pillars, (covered) outdoors.
While this review isn't specifically for the main docking station, I'll take a minute to speak on that as well. The docking station is very user friendly and really has a strong sound. The remote controls both the volume and with my Nano, play, pause, skip forward and backward. All of the units have a soft blue light in the antenna for the wireless system and they glow when the units are turned on. The main base unit can support up to four wireless speakers (three additionally purchased.) Also important, this unit can be used with other non-Ipod MP3 players or the like. There is an auxiliary cord that can be plugged into the headphone jack of just about any other player and can be run through the docking station (BONUS.) Finally if you do have an Ipod family player, the docking station does charge the player when in the cradle.
All in all, while not the cheapest docking station on the market (did you really think a wireless unit would be under $15 at your discount store) the concept is novel and the sound quality is defiantly worth the investment. With the flexibility to move the speakers from plug to plug, you can customize your listening arenas.

Eos Wireless Stereo Speakers Wireless multi-room audio has never been easier. Just plug an Eos wireless speaker into any wall outlet, inside or out and turn up the volume...that's all. Want to move your music to another place? Just unplug it and plug it in somewhere else, it's that easy. The Eos base station allow you to add up to four wireless speakers anywhere around your home. The rugged design of the Eos wireless stereo speakers makes them perfect for indoor or outdoor use.
Speaker Design The design of the wireless remote speaker features a removable, integrated power supply that allows the speaker to mount directly on a wall power outlet without mounting brackets. By removing the power supply from its cavity on the rear of the cabinet, the stereo remote speaker can sit independently on a counter top or bookshelf. The supported surround sound feature improves dynamic audio performance, expands the size of the audio image and improves low frequency sounds.
Signal Proprietary wireless transmission technology uses a dynamic frequency hopping modulation scheme that operates in the 2400 to 2483 GHz frequency for advanced error protection and correction, allowing the speaker to operate free of interference from Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth signals, or cordless telephones. The system comes backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.

Pyle PIFMDK6 i-Pyle Series iPod Docking Station with 200 Channel FM Transmitter and Flexible Goose Neck Stand Review

Average Reviews:

We gave the Pyle Series Ipod Docking Station with FM Transmitter the Road Trip test over Christmas. This product is made of sturdy plastic, the extended coil was necessary as our truck outlets are at the base of the dashboard. The transmitter rested securly on the console, held the my Ipod Nano tightly inplace allowing for excellent sound quality. It did not charge my nano, however when we listened to Kyles Ipod Classic it did charge the classic? The Classic is heavy and we were concerned the connection over time could cause problems, so we placed a 2.5 inch piece of insulation which allows the classic to rest on something soft and not bounch around. The sound quality from the Classic was not as good as the Nano. We only changed stations once as we traveled from Western Washington to Eastern Washington which in my mind is pretty good. You do need to have a navigator change the music settings the way we have, it set up you are reading upside down. All in All a good product, did what it said it would, and at a good price. We both like it, and continue to use it.
