For that price I thought why not try it. I hooked it up in two different cars, one Ford (year 2011) and one Buick (year 2003), and while driving in both cars I had enough static that I could not hear the caller, and this was on both frequencies. If the vehicles were standing still Jupiter Jack worked perfectly. I cannot comment on any other of the pluses or minuses that has been brought up on any of these reviews because I returned it within 24 hrs. If I have to pull the car over to the side of the road or park somewhere I really don't see any use for a hands free device. I would read the reviews carefully before purchasing this because even if this works there are downfalls that we sometimes don't think about and of course are not mentioned on the commercials or infomercials. Also go to your local stores first to see if they have this item. There are a lot of "as seen on tv" stores popping these days. It's a lot easier to return, there's no shipping and handling, and a lot of times it's cheaper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127332643110937777.post-50460745756044614232011-11-22T21:34:26.581-07:002011-11-22T21:34:26.581-07:00Got a couple of these from the local Dollar Tree t...Got a couple of these from the local Dollar Tree the other day. <br />A CR2032 battery, LED, adapters etc for a $1..not bad to strip down. <br />So I did. <br />There are 2 small screws under the battery area.<br />It's an analog 3 transistor circuit, with a loop wire aerial to transmit about 1ft in range. Think of it like an FM bug circuit.<br />The frequency crystals inside are 2x 2 pin, which if you are having troubles finding a free bit of FM band and are savvy, can replace with ones that will work. The transmitter multiplies the freq by 5, so a 20.260MHz becomes the 101.3 setting.<br />A mic is on the circuit, which replaces the mic on a handsfree wired headphones type thing. You can solder in an extension lead to those pins and wear a clip on mic to help with any road noise and improve the transmitted voice quality level.<br />(to set to a station on a digital radio when the phone isn't on, just switch the JJ on. It starts working and transmitting anyway).<br />For better range, either replace the original aerial inside with something fractal, or, run the connection out to your dashboard and have a traditional telescopic radio aerial laying there. Adjust the length of the aerial for best range.<br /><br />Another mod, while you have it apart, is to replace the antique red LED with a superbright blue :)Slider2732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127332643110937777.post-32079755967493829082011-10-26T14:43:11.510-06:002011-10-26T14:43:11.510-06:00I bought one last night at the Dollar Tree store f...I bought one last night at the Dollar Tree store for $1 plus tax. I asked employees if they had tested it out and all they said was that nobody had returned one yet. The adapter for my Motorola Razer V3M was included but the connections seem pretty loose. Tried it in my truck and so far it does not work at all. I got this because while I was checking into buying a new replacement cell phone battery the phone would not receive or send calls and only works through the speakerphone. I'm going to try the connector that came with the Moto phone and if that doesn't work I'll exchange it and if I have to I'll try a new battery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127332643110937777.post-63791161578059478352011-09-22T09:10:49.704-06:002011-09-22T09:10:49.704-06:00I bought a Jupiter Jack in a local store for $5. ...I bought a Jupiter Jack in a local store for $5.

I read the reviews and I didn't see my problem addressed. I cannot even try mine as I am not able to tune my radio station (Ford Focus 2007) to either station. My radio only scans to stations with signals, there is no manual change button. My Ford F150 2008 is the same. Has anyone else run in to this and if so how did they handle it.

This is a goldmine of information for anyone considering this purchase. 99% of these reviews are negative. Any company that has the form for credit card info on the front page before anything else (and a submit button) just wants your money. That is always a bad sign. A legit site will always total your purchases and break everything down specifically before requesting your card info and again before you hit "submit" on the site. I agree with others that say this site is not a scam, it isn't, but it is VERY shady and intentionally misleading. Their shipping charges and policies are disclosed and therefore cannot be called a scam, but it should be obvious to anyone that they are not "true" shipping charges. Thanks for all the info on this site. To everyone that has had a problem, sorry to hear, but thanks.

They lure you in with the buy one get one free deal. Once you make the purchase, they will send you more than what you ordered and charged you accordingly. The intent of this company is to make money from consumers from the shipping fees. They charged shipping and handling fees for every items but they all come in the same box.

Of course they are in the business of distribution so they charge $6.99 for each item. The miniscule profit on each item goes to the manufacturer/patent holder/etc.<br /><br />Now, the poor construction of their website is very disappointing. And the quality of a $10 device (2nd one free) tells you right away of the quality.<br /><br />As mentioned, wait until you see one in a store somewhere, buy it cheap and give it a try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127332643110937777.post-87809123748954807872010-01-19T21:24:32.701-07:002010-01-19T21:24:32.701-07:00DO NOT BUY THIS - IT'S A SCAM!!!!

When ordering you need to order the adapter's and batteries (additional costs) ok, but when they asked for your type of payment and the order was complete every item had a separate shipping charge which added up to almost half of what the whole order was for. I called to cancel the order immediately and they said they could not cancel the order for 24-48 hours but the representative I talked with said she would turn in the information for me. This was ordered 12/17/09 and even though I canceled the order I received it on 1/19/10. Everything was in same box (but yet I paid shipping costs for every individual item - what the heck). How do you charge over $20 for something that came in regular mail - not express, fed-exed - just regular mail. I was absolutely livid. Called them and they argued with me that they had no record of canceling the order and that the shipping charges would not be refunded. How can you get refunded for an order within 30 days if you do not receive it within 30 days. Like I've seen in other reviews, they are making more money on the shipping costs whether you want the product or not.
