Does Jupiter Jack Really Work?

Not only did this not work it engaged my AntiTheft system in the car and it will not start. After I turned it off my car’s AntiTheft system could not be reset and my car has to be towed to the dealer for service. This cheap $10 dream has turned into a $400.00 nightmare!!!

It does not work. To much static. Even if you can find a working location which is close to impossible, it can not hold the signal. Tried it with various cars and various cell phones. Do not buy. Use your MP3 player to stereo hookup and use it that way, much better solution.

It is a piece of junk. Tried it with two Blackberries, two different vehicles on both frequencies. Finally picked up a signal if I hold it on the upper left hand side of the windshield. Completely inpractical. DO NOT BUY IT.

Yes this product does work. And I give a 9 out of 10 for quality. I read the reviews and decided not to buy it, but I was misinformed by people on this blog and the company itself. But I received it as a present from my son and so decided to try it. At first I was disappointed like so many of you out there, but I experimented until I got it to work. Here is the trick I found: my car has an antennae that is retractable. So, if it is extended all the way out the regular radio stations interfer with the use of the Jupiter Jack. But if I retract my antennae all the way then the Jupiter Jack works fine. So, I would say that the Jupiter Jack would probably work on everyones car as long as you have a retractable antennae. So, I recommend everyone try the Jupiter Jack. The final result is that you want to be able to disconnect the radios antennae because you do not use that part of the radio with Jupiter Jack. The radio antennae gets in the way of the use of the product.

This device is basically the same thing as an fm transmitter for a shitpod, but with an audio pickup for voice tx. I tried the Jupiter with 3 different radios (2 were car radios with an external whip antenna, and also a 110 volt sony whip antenna boom box with range from 3 feet away to duct taped to the antenna itself). I think newer radios have a smaller form factor antenna with a *digital* receive tuner, and these may work well with the watch-sized Jupiter Jack. The device is made so tiny so that people’s calls can’t be monitored by neighboring vehicles at a traffic light. If they increased the size of the transmitter, and made it to work with an AA battery, most people would have better luck getting it to work, but that would come at a cost of compromising privacy to nearby vehicles. If you have an XM setup with a windshield antenna or internal car antenna, it might work, but not with whip-type antennas.

I bought it,tried it on my car didn’t work, tried on another car,still didn’t WORK! TAKING IT BACK TO TARGET PERIOD!

I couldn’t hear anything out of my speakers. I agree total junk. I just can’t stand the bluetooth either.

the adapter site says no adapter required, but the only way my Samsung strive apears to be able to use it ,would be to wire it directly into it. a waste of money… no email for support.
