Suddenly, a couple of days ago, the device couldn't able to hook to any FM freq. It frustrating!!! I phoned their support center and all they can say is to return to seller! Make sure you will still have your receipt and package if you buy this, just in case. Got to go to walmart to return this junk!

Not only does the FM transmitter totally rock on (No static! None! I couldn't believe it!) the VR3 VRFM9 has the full FM dial 87.whatever to 103.whatever to transmit on vs the 15 stations supported by the Brando. ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-VR3-SD-USB-MP3-WMA-FM-MODULATOR-TRANSMITTER-VRFM9_W0QQitemZ220057525753QQihZ012QQcategoryZ86537QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting I’ve been using a similar MP3 FM transmitter from VR3 for about a year now.

I agree, hardwire would be ideal. They should make a home version as well that plugs into a wall socket for the non-media-center crowd. I bet you could also use this for surround sound in your car to watch movies on your lappy too. No matter who's car you take on a road trip everyone will be able to watch and hear a movie. Except the driver of course. They'll just have to listen. For $55 that’s a pretty good deal. I agree, hardwire would be ideal.
