I bought this exact one, total crap. Sent it back. Hassle.

Thinking I might have gotten a dud, I bought the same one off of ebay for way less. DOA. They sent me a second that I still have. CRAP.

1. Transmitter is very weak. At full volume, I barely get my sub working.
2. Transmitter connectivity is lame. I get a nasty buzzing until I spun the thing around several times. It didn't go away, just got less annoying.
3. Design sucks. Unless your +12v is positioned perfectly, this will be poorly positioned to hold your TP2. Upside doesn't work for me.

My suggestion...buy a higher-end Kensington transmitter and get yourself a $3 USB-port charger. Kensington transmitters (I have two different ones) are clean & powerful. Good gain upon receipt.

The best alternative has already been mentioned. A direct RCA Jack connection is the shiznit. Nothing beats it for connecting your TP2...unless of course, you have a cassette deck in your ride (LOLOL!).

Good luck, bro...

edit: You want the Kensington Model that looks like this, but with the RCA plug, not the ipod connector. The portion that sticks into your power port should look the same. That's the best one they've made, IMO.
