 This model does not work with iPhone December 2, 2008

This model of the Belkin iPod TuneBase FM is NOT compatible with the 3G iPhone. I ordered this on the basis of reviews saying that it did but it does not! First indication was lack of any adapter fitting for the iPhone and no mention of iPhone in the manual and then, when I installed it in car, I got the message on my iPhone screen saying that the accessory was not compatible with my iPhone. The model being sold here is the F8Z176, and, according to the Belkin web site the model that works with the iPhone is the F8Z183.
Works fine with my iPod but will be returning this to Amazon.
Sweet as a nut, can't expect more. November 26, 2008

I've been using this for a few weeks now with my iPhone 3G and it works great. Was a bit sceptical and was gonna opt for a cheaper one but I'm glad I didn't. I've not used the two channel thing, just stick to the one. I was too lazy to read the instructions and just read the quick guide and was well away with that.
If you knock it, it loses the signal. But the mount is really stable it only loses signal if you decide to adjust the position while it's transmitting. You have to have it in airplane mode so you can't receive calls but it charges it (I read somewhere some of these are compatible with iPhone but won't perform the charge function... was glad to find out this is not the case with this one).
Glad I bought it, would recommend.
Ford Focus November 21, 2008

Hi. Thinking of buying this for my son who owns a Ford Focus. With this Belkin Transmitter for an Ipod, there seems to be a problem with several models of cars in relation to where the cigarette lighter/gear stick are situated to enable the fixing of the transmitter. Has anyone used this in a Ford Focus please? If so, were there any obvious problems. I have a basic Belkin transmitter for my Iriver MP3 which works o.k. in our Toyota Yaris, but it requires batteries which always run out at the most inconvenient time. This Belkin apparently doesn't require batteries which would be a big plus. It also looks - am I too old to say it? - Cool! Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been using this for about a month and am, so far, pretty impressed with it.
I have it in my Mini and although the power adapter is a really tight fit in the cigarette lighter socket (so much so, that I have to be careful pulling it out that it doesn't take the entire socket with it!) it works a treat. The unit comes with several adapters for different types of iPod; I'm using it with a 3G iPhone and strangely, I've had to use the iPod video adapter even though it comes with an iPod Touch adapter, which I thought was basically the same casing as the iPhone.
Don't get me wrong, the reception isn't perfect and I've discovered that where the iPod is in relation to the radio and at what angle it sits in the cradle makes a BIG difference to how clear the signal is. If you can't seem to get a clear signal and you think you've chosen the best FM station, tinker around with the position of the cradle in relation to your radio head unit and eventually you'll find a winner. Having said that, the one criticism I have is that the flexible arm on which the iPod/iPhone sits is a touch too short which really limits where you can have your iPod sitting...this is especially true depending on where the cigaratte lighter adapter is located in your car.
Overall, this is an excellent product which I can definitely recommend.
