Satechi Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Stereo Fm Transmitter – anybody tried one?

“The Bluetooth Hands Free FM Transmitter provides a live full duplex communication solution. It uses Bluetooth technology through FM transmission to your FM car radio. This unit allows you to speak to callers through a built-in DSP microphone (it turns your car stereo into a Giant Bluetooth Headset). All of this is accomplished hassle free without the use of external wires, or expensive custom installation. The device is pairable with any phone equipped with Bluetooth hands-free and stereo A2DP function. Bluetooth A2DP technology enables wireless transmission of music from your iPhone 3Gs and 3G (OS 3.0 Software Update required). With the Bluetooth Hands-free Fm Transmitter you are ready to listen to your favorite tunes without any wire connection!”

Wow, sounds impressive! My big question is… how well does it work? The FM transmitters designed for the iPod generally suck because they get stomped on by pretty much everything. I think that they also had to reduce output power because of overblown concerns that children in other cars might hear ‘objectionable material’ that they cannot avoid. (Sirius/XM ended up informing subscribers that certain units were now over the FCC limits)

I’d love to hear more about the device, especially whether or not it works as advertised. It sure sounds neat.
