The division is performing as i expect since a portable radio. The division works quite well inside my car with a cassette player adapter playing the xm broadcast from the headphone jack. The reception is very stable while the division sits inside the cup holder between the front seats.
I tested the division inside a restaurant sitting about 5 feet away from the closest window and the reception was still quite good and the sound quality of the tune was quite high . I played on all sides with the eq setting and found order that the different equalizing setting would definitely affect the sound quality.
Not having the unique xmp3 car cradle, i’m using the car charger and the cassette player adapter from an older xt roady unit, so i get not had a chance to test the xmp3’s fm transmitting capabilities. However, with reduced fm transmission power as required by the fcc, using fm transmission to listen at the hand of a car’s fm radio while inside a major city like los angeles may be a challenge as i get experienced before with many other fm transmission products.
In short, i find the receiving part of this division is strong. The sound quality of the live broadcast is good. The control is easy to understand and use. I get not tested the mp3 player so i cannot comment on order that. The price is high but then Pioneer GEX-XMP3 works as it is supposed to.
