I got mine last week at an SE shop whilst going through Taiwan. One thing is it doesn't have the adaptor on the bottom as shown in the pics so you can't charge it while using. Anyone else find the same?
The quality of mine at first wasn't so good. Quite a lot of static. But I found a frequency quite clear of other stations and it now works really well. No static and can turn up the music with clear sound.
Also after changing to this frequency I tested it around the car and found works fine in the backseat
As for the battery life I haven't tested it out yet. Haven't been in the car long enough but so far it's hasn't drained the battery.

well that sounds like it's working as designed. How many stations broadcasting in your area?
btw, sux about the back end not having a fastport. Really slack of SE I must say. Disappointing.

Hopefully it is indeed just a fake, however all the "live" mmr60 pics I've seen so far don't include a fastport, only hte promotional pics seem to have it.
Not looking promising.
Have a look at the promo pic on this "live" packaging, compared to the pre-release promo pic below it. The packaging picture has no fastport on the back, the pre-release picutre does, otherwise the picture is virtually identical. Looks like they've pulled the fastport for production:

Maybe if one person who has got one can confirm they have a fastport. Then we'll know there is actually one available |

so far all the pictures posted by owners of the mmr60 show no fastport. Not looking good

I've used mine for about 30 mins in the car at a time and haven't seen the battery come down.
I guess it'd be a nice feature to have if you were on a long road trip or using at a friends place to play through the stereo. But who carries their phone charger around with them anyway? |

the SE car charger has a pass through port - you can plug an accessory into the back of the plug - so with the SE car charger you can charge and use an accessory at the same time.
I have that charger, so it will only be a problem for me when using the fm transmitter for long duration when not in the car. In my own car I have an fm transmitter permanently installed in line with the car aerial. this transmitter runs off the car battery. So I don't need the mmr-60 when I'm in the Pug.
Mostly I want the mmr-60 for those occasions I'm in someone else's car or at a friends place and want to play music from my phone. The only time lack of a passthrough port will be a problem is when playing music through the transmitter for long durations when not in a car. Those times are rare.

@max-wedge i think you have the transmitter that i'm looking for. So your transmitter is not wireless, right. Could you please tell me more about your transmitter, sound quality and where i can buy it???
Thanks in advance. |

most automotive car sound stores will have such things. It's an fm transmitter that wires into the car wiring loom for power (no batteries to replace). The fm output goes inline with the car aerial, so the signal from the fm transmitter pumps straight into your car stereo's antenna input - metal to metal - no air gap
A 1.5m lead with a left and right rca plug leads from where the transmitter is installed under the dash to the centre console, where you can plug any sound source you like.
I have one of the quick touch buttons on the radio programmed to the station that I get the best reception most of the time, so listening to my phone or listening to a "real" radio station is as easy as pressing a botton on the car stereo.
Quality is EXCELLENT. This is not like the tunecast, which is "fair". The audio through the transmitter is as good as normal radio with perfect reception.
