* Ok - must depend on your car's antenna ...
Tried the unit in two different cars.
One was completely static - couldn't use it at all (Acura MDX), the other car was OK, but enough static to bother me enough to return it (Lexus ES300).
All in all I think you're taking your risks on this unit. It may work great, or it may not - depending on your car.

* Not bad, but not terrific ...
My first experience with a Coby product was not a good one, and so I purchased this transmitter with a little apprehension. But I'd just gotten a little Sony Walkman and wanted to be able to listen to audiobooks in the car while driving to and from work. And after doing a little research (and for an investment of only $17), I threw caution to the wind and decided to give it a shot.
The transmitter works quite well on regular radios (portable and otherwise) if you place it fairly close to them. So that's rather nice, because at home or in the office I can play the Walkman and listen through the radio's FM station. Sound is excellent.
In the car, at least in my car, the sound is not particularly good. Lots of fuzz, and the station goes in and out depending on where I am. It's ok for audiobooks, but I don't think listeners who wanted to play music would be particularly satisfied. But this could all be car radio and car dependent, mind you. I have an old car and an old car radio. I'm going to try it on a friend's newer car to see if that's the problem.

* no problems ...
I bought the Coby Transmitter and I am very happy with it. The thing broadcasts well. But one concern I had was sliding switches and dirt, because I use mine in the car. so I put it in a clear baggie and sealed it with a rubber band. You can see all the controls and its protected from dirt.

* Great, inexpensive product. ...
I recently started looking for a wireless transmitter for my Zune (1st Gen). I decided to try the Zune Car Pack v2 even tough it had 3/5 stars rating and some very negative reviews. I tried to make it work and it did work with some (very few) radio stations but i never got the sound quality i was looking for. So basically i ended up with a very expensive ($59.99 at that time) Zune car charger.
Then i came across the product on this page and decided to try it out since it was very cheap. I've been using it for almost a week now and let me tell you, i'm very impressed.
After opening it up, popping in some AAA batteries, connecting my Zune to it, searching for an available radio station and tuning it with the receiver, i was ready to go. First station i found (88.9 i believe) worked like a charm. I got near CD quality in most songs, and the others CD quality, i kid you not. I was blown away. Since then, i've tried 2 others stations and i got the same results.
I also tried it with my PSP and my DS Lite and got the same excellent result.
Since it has a standard 3.5 mm Audio Input Jack, it works with most devices and based on these three tests i've had with it, i'd say this is one of the most attractive features about this product.
I can't speak about durability because of obvious reasons, but so far so good and i believe this thing deserves 5 stars based on price/ productivity ratio alone.
A piece of advice, get yourself a pair of rechargable AAA batteries. They'll come in handy.
