Sorry, It's a BAD UNIT

I'm a positive person. That's why I'm positive this is the worst coffee maker ever made. It overfills the basket, and it takes nothing to end up with spillage of coffee that lingers for days. It's difficult to fill. The clock is silly. Buy a different one- you can't go wrong.

The bad:  The unit when switched off looses my place.  Not a big deal with music but for audiobooks and podcasts this is a huge drawback.  The software is clunky and buggy and annoyingly bad.  Latest update is years old.  The harddrive is slow so there is a few second pause in between songs.  The battery life, though I haven't tested it thoroughly, seems low.  Perhaps it'll get 8 hours on a full charge.  You cannot use the player while it is charging.  You must use a wireless connection to download the latest driver even though it can connect to computer through included usb cable.

I have only used this for existing mp3's and audiobooks.

For the money it's a good buy if you're looking for lots of room for mp3's.  For audiobooks/podcasts I am very disappointed in this as its pretty unusable.  I wish I'd have bought something else.

I had a problem with this unit, when ever it I would turn it off and it would shut down, when I would turn it back on, it wouldnt boot up, I would have to reboot it each time I wanted to use it.

DOA...Windows gave a message saying the descriptor was bad and thus the unit was defective.  Guess I'll try a different brand

There are two big problems with this device.

1) Weak signal strength - you have to live in an area where there is a large empty section on the FM band to use this. Any signal at all, even from a station 200 kHz away will completely overpower this device. If you live in an area, like I do, where there are a lot of radio stations, this won't work. If you take long trips, you will constantly be changing frequency to try to hear the music.

2) Low modulation index - the modulation is so low on this device that you will have to turn your radio up to a very high volume level just to hear your music, to the point where the background hiss will be almost as loud as your music. My radio has a digital volume control. For a normal radio station, I run it at about 8 to 10. With the DLO Transdock Micro, I have to turn it up to about 25 or 30 just to hear the music, and at that level there is a constant hiss that is almost as loud as the music.

If all of that were not bad enough, my DLO Transdock Micro just failed this weekend while I was on a road trip. Six hours in the car, ready to listen to my music, plugged it in and the unit turned on for a second, then when dead. Checked the fuse, it was fine. Replaced the fuse anyway, still nothing. I have used it sparingly since I bought it, it probably has not been on for more than 30 or 40 hours total, and it is dead.

I wish I could give this thing a half-star, but 1 star is as low at it will go. Don't waste your money on this thing.

Our unit is almost 6 months old and had a number of issues.  The control panel that turns everything on and off just failed today.  It doesn't keep correct time, it creeps forward a few minutes each day.  When the touch pass controller did work, it made a very Lloyd beep noise every time you touched a button.  Not just loud, obnoxiously loud o everyone inter house and back yard can heat it. This is priced this low for a reason, if you never plan on using it and don't mind the incorrect time displayed on the bright led display it's a good show piece, nothing more.

I can't recommend this thing. It has bad sound quality, uncomfortable and it died for no good reason (I charged it in the night, turned it off and that was it.)

The unit leaked all over. Something's wrong with it

Stop very poor unit. Lots of problems and poor service make this a bad choice. Unit I have has been returned 4 times and still does not work as it should. Service department at Humminbird has been irresponsible. Unit was returned with multiple problems after each attempted service. The 688ciHD should not be sold.

Bought one of these, it is named the irulu mp3 player as this appears on the screen when it is booted up. LCD screen is very tiny and hard to read. This thing is packed with neat features but the worst thing about it is it sounds totally horrible, very tinny. It has an equalizer with various settings but hey do almost nothing. It's a real shame as the price is good, the features are good but it sounds horrible and lets face it there is no excuse for this. In this day and age to engineer an mp3 player to sound ok is not difficult. the FM radio even sounds worse than an old transistor radio  on AM band. Must be a really bad amplifier on this thing.

It doesn't work correctly.  THere is something messed up in the electronics.  Lots of lights flash and the unit locks up.

My first unit did nothing but squeal when I inserted the batteries - no display, no lights. OK, a bad unit. Unfortunately I had the same experience after returning the first and getting a second one. With all the good reviews, I'm sure Kiddie makes working alarms, but its the last Kiddie I'll buy.

If you buy this unit be prepared to return it! I would if I had not procrastinated so long! I am throwing it out now! Shame on me!

It is a nice and small unit. However, not as easy to use and comes with instructions that is a bit confusing;as I understood one needs to plug this unit in the vehicle for at least an hour. I can live with that.
Bad thing is that the unit constantly looses charge and needs to be recharged even when not used in a week.
I had the unit in the house and not even used it in car at all until I had to charge my cell phone in an emergency.  Five minutes after placing the USB cord in the unit it shuts up. I replaced that with the auto cigarette adapter and then nothing happened. The unit was out of charge! I plugged the unit and next day nothing happened. It was DEAD.
someone told me that it is possible the internal fuse is blown and told me how to look for it. I guess I will wait a few years to get my Electronic Engineering Degree!

Not impressive.  I had to return a couple of times to get a working unit.
