Summary: Horrible Product; Don't waste your time
Comment: I've never written a customer review about a product, but I must warn others to stay away; this product will create pure frustration. The Zune car adapter is absolutely horrible. I read the instructions and other Amazon customer reviews to try and figure out why the car adapter would not work, but it was to no avail. After many attempts, all I heard was static. I use to have an IPod and I've never had any problem listening to it in my car. While I enjoy the Zune (120 GB), I'm thinking about returning it since one of the main reasons I got it was to listen to it in my car. Microsoft really needs to have a better product. After this experience, I will be reluctant to purchase another Microsoft product.

Summary: Good, solid product
Comment: This Zune addition to the car has been really great for long car drives. It does exactly what it says it does. The quality of the sound is NOT perfect, but you should not be expecting it to be. There will be static on occasion, just as you would get using the regular radio.
Keep in mind, if you live in a big city, it may take some time to find that perfect channel to broadcast on. Just read the directions, and this thing will work! One tip I have: Keep the cord between the transmitter and your Zune as straight as possible, and the reception will be much better. Again, those of you complaining about the quality of the music... deal with it, you'll get the same occasional problems with ANY FM transmitter. If you can't stand it, then upgrade your sound system so you can just plug it in. Don't review this product negatively because you fail to read the instructions or are expecting it to be the best sound ever.
I like my Zune Car Pack a lot! Works especially well on the long open road!

Summary: Works Okay in Theory
Comment: This device works okay in theory, but is plagued by reception problems.
If you can find a clear station, and the antenna is just right it works well. Sound is fantastic as long as reception is good.

Summary: It would not pick up a channel.
Comment: This would not pick up a channel. We tried it in both my car and my husband's car and it wouldn't work. We were able to tune in some music a couple of times, but it was predominantly static. My husband has an iPod and uses his car transmitter all the time with no issues at all. The one thing I did notice is that his transmitter uses a very low channel and the Zune player doesn't go that low.

Summary: Great idea, poor performance
Comment: I bought this product hoping the good reviews were correct and that the poor ones were just people that were Microsoft haters. Well I found out that the poor performance people were talking about was true. Not only was the frequency range not wide enough to send the signal to open channels, but when I could find a frequency to use I would have to fully extend to cord and move my zune around to just the right spot to get a decent signal. And when I say decent signal, I mean there was never a time when I had no static.
