HiFAST FM Transmitter Review
Or Hi Fast???
Regardless, bought one of these FM transmitters off eBay.
It's a model HFM02C.
I bought this for use in my van and liked the idea of it being able to just plug in the 12V cigarette adaptor and power itself off that as batteries are an inconvenience to keep on top of.
It is apparently capable of 7 different frequencies although it will required opening the case to do so. I haven't attempted as the default 107.5 frequency seems to work just fine.
Audio quality was on par with a battery-powered iRock transmitter I had been using.
The only thing to keep an eye on is the audio input level and this is not something unique to the HiFAST. I use a Creative Zen Micro and the top roughly 20% of the volume seems to overdrive the input.
It seems to perform well (especially considering that the price I paid was very reasonable) so it has my recommendation as a cost effective yet also a quality FM transmitter.

Wow! This thing really works.Laptop to family room, garage stereo, the music system at a large condo.
Great to see something live up to the manufacturer's hype.
