No Good! by The Dars (Montgomery, NY, US)  1 Stars
November 14, 2009
I didn't even get out of my driveway before I unplugged this thing and put it back in the box. The clarity and reception is terrible, and anyone who knows how the FM receiver works will know that if you live anywhere that has a radio station close to 99.3, you will not be able to get this thing to work as it is advertised. A bluetooth it is not. There are better products out there, and as I should have known; you get what you pay for!

Great Idea.....Poor Reception by Ambergris (New England.....USA)  2 Stars
October 28, 2009
Anyone considering this already well knows the dangers of driving and talking on your ever present cell phone. No matter what kind of dexterity and alertness you may have been blessed with, you are still challenging fate every time you decide to talk on the phone and drive. A tree or a telephone pole is just begging for your acquaintance the whole time. I picked up one of these Jupiter Jacks (stupid name) at a local discount store here. I drive a car with a stick shift that makes it extra hard to hold onto a phone and shift at the same time. For starters let me say that the Jupiter Jack, (JJ) is a very well thought out unit in its design. It mounts easily just about anywhere, while at the same time it is not so big and intrusive that it either gets in the way, or should spoil the looks for those of us more fashionably minded about our cars. It also has a good universal design for holding just about any kind of cell phone, and it comes with a variety of jacks for fitting your particular phone. And the set up with your radio takes less than 5 minutes once you have installed in on your dash.
Unfortunately when it comes to JJs actually doing what it is supposed to do, the show is pretty much over after the above opening number. Despite the commercial on TV offering the impression that it pretty much transmits through your car radio as easily as a local station, it doesn't come through any where near that clearly in real use. The signal does pretty much what cell phone signals do when you are driving around talking. They fade in and out and draw static here and there. Only with the JJ, it happens that much more often. When I installed mine I took a drive for about 30 minutes and called several people. None of the calls were what I would label a success, or came off as much of an improvement on JJs claims. Two of the calls withered and died, and I had to call them back the old fashioned way. Even when the JJ completed a call, the sound quality coming from the speakers was not any where near the fidelity of your regular stations. Not really full of static, but somewhat cheap and hard to decipher. I really didn't make any distinction between the quality of calls being disrupted by stronger signals close by, or just JJ being a piece of junk. Contrary to what the commercial I have seen says, my unit had two different frequencies that you could choose from. That may help those that are being interrupted by stations horning in on your signal, but it will not improve the technology of the JJ which is unfortunately not that good.
In conclusion, the JJ is a very good idea that has your safety and convenience in mind. Whether you decide to take a chance on this unit or not, you shouldn't be driving and talking at the same time. But as far as recommending the JJ, it's my opinion that in most cases you will be sorely disappointed. You will most likely find its habit of working and then not, dropping out, and even when it is as its best being a disappointment anyway, too much of a pain and end up going back to your bluetooth, or other ear phone system. I believe that after using this, any required wires hanging around your front seat won't seem all that bad. My take is pass this up...

Not as good as it sounds. by Nigel Cammack (Germantown, MD) 1 Stars
October 07, 2009
I recently ordered the Jupiter Jack and was excited to use it because I am on the road all the time. It definitely does what it says it does just not very well. I live in DC and on just about every dial we have a radio station which is not good for the jupiter jack trying to steal the frequency. Both station it has you use are close to very powerful stations here so even though you are not on the same frequency they still come through. I am not here to say I am dissapointed in the product I just wish it was a little stronger. I am sure it would probably work in a more rural area where there are not as many stations but for DC it is not the best choice.
