Amazon.com Product Description
If you're taking a road trip, the Zune Car Pack gives you everything you need to be your own DJ, listening to your music through your car stereo while keeping your Zune charged. This device transmits music from your Zune into an FM frequency that can be picked up by your radio tuner. You can automatically select an optimal station for broadcast using the auto-tuning Zune FM Transmitter. It often takes more than one station to stay tuned in if you drive between different regions with different stations, that's why the Zune FM Transmitter has two presets so you can easily swap back and forth between your most commonly used broadcast stations. To keep up with a long road trip, you can charge your Zune while listening to music in the car. The magnetic storage clip allows you to keep wires out of your way, and the dashboard grip pad provides a great place to rest your device in the car. It is compatible with the Zune 4 GB, Zune 8 GB, Zune 30 GB, and Zune 80 GB.

FM transmitter/charger, dashboard grip pad, product quick start guide, product manual.

piece of junk.......2007-12-22
I recently purchased the car pack for my new Zune. However, there was way too much static to even enjoy it. After a while, I couldn't even get any audio from the Zune just from the radio station. I was only able to hear the device depending on my location. If you do buy it keep your receipt. Mine is going right back to the store. Terrible!
Far different experience...I have one & my experience is superb.......2007-12-21
TAKE NOTE: Don't turn your radio on UNTIL you have found a clear FM station with the Zune Car Pack 2. Turning your radio on FIRST seems to prevent the device from finding any clear FM station.
None of the harsh negative reviews are accurate IMHO and with respect to these people. It really makes me wonder of their validity in every single claim. The reviews greatly differ from the excellent and flawless product I just received and used. It could be that these well meaning people simply missing something on how to use this very simple and EXTREMELY effective device. My experience was a 100% POSITIVE with ZERO trouble! The Zune Car Pack 2 actually shocked the hell out of me because of the negative above reviews (I was already prepared to send it back). Like most everyone I read the user comments before I buy anything. I called Amazon to verify I could send this product back before I bought because of the horrid reviews above. Sometimes I will gamble anyway with a product purchase like this and this time and it paid off BIG. I got exactly what was advertised and what I wanted in my car.
1) I live in a VERY URBAN area. Nearly every single radio frequency is occupied. I plugged in the adapter hooked up the Zune used the auto-tune to find a clear station. Turned on the radio, tuned it to match the clear frequency and the sound was flawless. I honestly could not tell any significant difference from direct input. No kidding it works that well and that easy. There are also online resources that can locate some good clear FM frequencies by zip code if you should need extra help.
2) No static at all! Believe me I tried to get it. I shook my Zune like a nut, I shook the transmitter like an ape, I even placed metal objects on the cord and put the transmitter in every weird place I could think of. Perfect no static. I could not make static no matter how I tried (Man, I forgot to wrap everything in aluminum foil...now that may have a chance)! I tried my hardest to make this accessory sound bad and hear the static claims in the previous posted reviews. But the Zune Car Park v2 remained superb.
3) The Zune pad the is designed to hold the Zune on the dash or somewhere flat. Now I had my doubts about this set-up because I drive rather aggressively. I dusted off my dash and place the Zune on the pad. The thing is rock solid and I would trust it in almost all driving circumstances with confidence except for a hard hitting accident. A fender bender won't move that Zune a bit.
Try it out for yourself. You can always send it back to Amazon if you do not like the way it functions.
Plug in the adapter in the cigarette lighter, plug in the Zune, use auto-tune to find a clear station, turn on the radio, tune it to match the clear fequency and WOW!
The Zune Car Pack 2 is easy, static free, and movement DOES NOT effect the sound at all. As I said before I TRIED my hardest to get static but could not (with the exception of wrapping everything in aluminum foil).
The Zune Car Pack 2 is an excellent product in every respect.
That is what my real-world URBAN experience PROVED to me. I also learned you cannot always trust the reviews you read. Though I would not like to shop without them.
Give it a try as there is really nothing to loose----
I think that the problem is the device is so simple that people are not following the correct process for the device work properly (and the instructions could be better).
Remember to get the clear station tuned with the Zune Car Pack 1st and then turn on your radio and tune to the clear frequency.
Put your $80 towards a new car stereo w/ AUX input.......2007-12-15
I have a brand new Zune 80 which I love, but I have an older car with a stereo deck that does not include an AUX input. I heard mixed reviews (mostly negative), but decided to give it a go.
I purchased this pack at a local store, took it out to the car to try it and was utterly disappointed. I found a single station that barely came in. I moved the Zune all around the car, nothing. I moved the Tuner portion of the car pack around, nothing. I walked back into the store with it and returned it. Save your $$$ and buy a car stereo w/ AUX input. Amazon doesn't allow 0 stars...
Zune Car Pack.......2007-12-07
Works great out in the country away from a lot of radio stations. But in town (where I use mine the most) there is WAY to much static and can't get it to work very good. Would not recommend.
Very Suprised.......2007-11-23
At first I was suprised that it didnt get much low channels and so I gave up (at first) but because I put the metal part on the power chord part it was staticy but If you situation is like mine if you plug the pack in regularly and put the tuner part on the passenger side dashboard where their air bag is then alot of channels are very clear and I put the zune on the pad on the dashbaord ( it do get staticy if you move the zune around some) but over all it works fine

Customer Reviews:
Why doesn't Microsoft include this with every Zune?.......2007-12-25
The charger is built well and charges the Zune the way its supposed to. There is really nothing much to say about it: its just a standard, garden variety charger.
It's really annoying that Microsoft or Apple for that matter won't include something as essential as a charger with their products. I'm willing to bet that including one in the box would cost them less than a dollar, but is omitted in the name of corporate bean-counting.
Amazing Price!.......2007-12-23
Wow! Why pay 10 to 20 dollars at a retail store for the same thing? It's been working well for me, and I highly suggest it as a cheaper alternative to what you will find in stores.
Good charger.......2007-12-02
Works very well for the price. Other stores wanted a lot of money for similar Zune chargers. I ve been using this to charge my zune for the past 2 weeks with no problems whatsoever. Moreover the charger does not look cheap at all.
Best Zune charger........2007-04-04
Great price. It is it's own cord so you can keep your USB on your computer and now recharge your Zune else where. I think the cord length could be a little longer, but compared to my other options I am thankful for this.

FM Transmitter.......2007-12-26
This is not the greatest product. It's necessary to have the zune plugged into your car whenever you want to listen to it and you can't move it around in the car, it's stationary. Spend the extra money and get the zune car pack.
Not able to rate less than "1".......2007-12-26
This is by far the worst fm transmitter I've ever used. The charger works great though. It's quite nice to look at too. The transmitter is way to weak. You can block the signal with your hand. I'm using a cheap $10 transmitter that kicks this ones but till i can get a better one. Try to avoid this one if you can.
looks good sounds bad.......2007-12-15
like everyone else my car dock sounds pretty bad on all stations in a ford ranger. I noticed though that in my other truck (dodge ram) the noise goes away on all stations if I turn on my cd changer which is also transmitted to my car stereo through an FM station. SO . . . I need to find another FM device to play my zune through with the dock and maybe that will clear it up.
Absolute rip off and waste of money!.......2007-11-23
This transmitter/base is and absolute piece of useless junk. I should have read the reviews before this purchase. Don't make the same error.
-1 stars would be a better rating.
Crappy transmitter, Good charger / holder.......2007-11-19
As an FM transmitter, this unit is sorely underpowered and can barely compete with stations that normally receive nothing more than static. Unfortunately, this is the ONLY factor upon which the total performance of this product hinges, so that's quite bad.
On the upside however it's a fantastic holder for your Zune, and is a good car charger to boot (the only reason it gets a second star). Underneath, there is a line out jack as well, which means (although though I haven't tried it) you should be able to leave this unit in your car, plugged into the line in jack on your stereo, and never have to worry about hooking up every time you get in your car. Just slap in your Zune and go!
In conclusion, given the fact that it's a pretty useless transmitter, even the good points made above still don't justify the $50 pricetag.

This Doesn't Even Charge My Zune 80!.......2007-11-25
Looked like a good deal for the overall price, but when I plug it into my car and try to charge my new Zune 80 it doesn't charge! Had to use the cord that the Zune 80 came with and plug that into a D/C usb charger.
Woks as description........2007-06-05
The Zune Car Charger does what is supposed to do. It charges the Zune player just fine.

BEWARE...DOES NOT WORK AT ALL!!!.......2007-12-24
(2-in-1 Combo) Car Charger + AC/ Wall/ Travel Charger for Microsoft Zune
Bought 2 of these combo sets for our Zunes. None of the products work. Says Zune on the packages. But, none of them work with our Zunes. They don't call me back and only offer a partial refund. WHAT IS THAT? I shouldn't have to pay for any of the shipping. They sent me NON-WORKING items! DON'T BUY!!!
Too good to be true. . ........2007-12-01
Just got the Combo charger pack for my Zune. Zune works great, but I don't think the Combo items are functional at all. AC charger produces a
"Battery" and "!" graphic on the Zune (not the normal charging graphic). The interface on the USB cable does not appear to be the same size as that on the AC or car adapter.
This and other bargain-priced after-market items may be priced just low-enough to get you to purchase and to not be worth the trouble to return.
One star because Amazon won't post the review without it.
Beware.

USB Charger Works for Microsoft Zune.......2007-03-22
Originally purchased for charging my Ipod but I've just tested with my co-workers Zune. Some usb cell phone data cables also charge and those go well with this charger if you want to just stand alone charge via USP. Sorry I don't have the car charger to test.
not sure if it works..........2006-12-15

Annoying Buzz - doesn't work at all for Zune.......2007-10-01
I was so excited when I bought this item because there aren't many accessories for the Zune. I was so disappointed when I plugged it into the car and Zune and got nothing but an annoying high pitched buzz or hum no matter which channel we tried.
Satechi cheerfully offered to refund my money but I never got around to sending it back. Oh well -- I can use it as an expensive Zune charger for the car, I suppose.
PIECE OF JUNK!.......2007-07-14
I bought this product to use in my car for my Zune media player. Since the first day I used it in my car.....all it produced was static and noise! There are only 4 channel presets....and if those 4 channels are not clear...then you will get lots of audio disruption. Maybe if Satechi extends the channel presets from 87.1 to 107.9 (like most fm transmitters do), then maybe there won't be a problem. But I gave one star only for the car charger feature. I don't live in a city...I live in a suburb...so traffic isn't a problem. Other than than...don't buy this! I am awaiting for the company to call me back to give me a refund hopefully! If you have an auxillary jack in your car....you are better off getting an auxillary cable. You'll get clear sound that way!
GREAT SERVICE........2007-06-19
I RECEIVED MY PRODUCT QUICKLY AND IT WORKS GREAT.
Car kit far from adequate.......2007-06-15
I got this kit for 27.99. The FM transmitter does not work at all. There are 4 channels for broadcasting of which none work. This just produces FM noise in my radio. The only plus that I can see having this is the charger that holds the player. The holder is also quite flimsy and feels like molded plastic. It is held but quite wobbly when in the cigarette lighter. I give this a one star, only for the charging capabilities. This item should be called "Car Charger / Holder".

Pay cheap get cheap.......2007-10-14
I tried to not pay the high prices for a Microsoft charger but this charger worked great the first time. The second time it almost broke my zune player. I got a battery symbol on the player and it won't turn on. I then went to hook the zune to the computer usb port charger and the symbol went away and it charged fine. I will not use this junk charger again in fear of breaking the zune. They say they accept returns but they dont reimburse shipping. It will cost more to ship it back then I would get back for the device.
Perfect!.......2007-06-05
If you're looking for an ac wall charger for your zen vision m, this is the one to get. I have had it for 3 months now and not one problem. It charges incredibly fast. Approximately an hour for a full charge. It's amazing. And another plus is that it connects directly to the zen. There is no need for the extension that is required to connect the zen to the usb cord or a/v cord. This charger is perfect!
