This is a continuation of the info I shared the other day, this time I brought my camera into the car to show my setup.

Very Nice. I purchased one of these today and I am very impressed. Kind of expensive at $80, but worth it if you can afford it.

The above photo shows my Zune 80 in an after market adjustable cradle. This is a great cradle from Akron. I have had it for years through many phones and such.

I use the DC Outlet by my stick shift for other uses, so I put the plugin in my center console. As you can see the pretty Zune Logo lights up. No need for batteries. Just plug into the DC Outlet in your car, plug in the Zune and dial up the frequency you want and you are rocking.

The pack comes with a non slip pad to place on your dash too.

The display for frequency selection is a nice bright digital read out. Just clicking the number buttons you can swap from one frequency to another fast.

Check out the Station. Got Zune?

The Zune 80 in the cradle!

I have a problem finding a good clean frequency to use here but this transmitter is more powerful that the Belkin I used to use and I only hear static when there is a pause in the audio. It’s not a loud static and is not even noticable when the music is playing. I really need to sit down and test all frequencies to find the clearest for me in my area.

Verdict - Expensive, but  well worth it. The sound comes through real nice and my subs kick just fine with the signal.

Features:

  • Auto-tuning. The Zune FM Transmitter automatically selects an optimal station for broadcast.
  • Charge and play. Charge your Zune while you listen to music.
  • Convenient storage. A magnetic storage clip allows you to keep wires out of your way. A dashboard grip pad provides a great place to rest your device in the car.
  • Two FM presets. For longer commutes, it often takes more than one station to stay tuned in if you drive between different regions with different stations. The Zune FM Transmitter has two presets so you can easily swap back and forth between your most commonly used broadcast stations.
  • Pack includes: Zune FM Transmitter/Charger and Zune Dashboard Grip Pad.
