 Best FM Transmitter I have heard |
| Review Date: March 8, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Robert Otte, Pittsburgh |
| I tried the Itrip as well as an Irock device for my 80gb IPOD. The audio quality was low enough I didn't use the IPOD in my BMW. I recently purchased the Monster autoscan model at our local Circuit City at the inflated price of $99 (I wanted to be able to rapidly return it if it wasn't any better than the Itrip). I think it sounds excellent. It has good stereo seperation, pretty good frequency response and low distortion. I'm very pleased. I agree the autoscan feature is not as good as doing a manual search. |
Great product!

| I bought this iPod transmitter for my wife to use in her vehichle. So far, it has been rock solid. The auto-scan feature located a clear channel, and it works just as advertised. The sound quality is not quite as good as the set up in my truck, but I paid about $200 for an adapter that connects between my XM receiver and my factory head. Considering the price of the iCarPlay, I consider it an outstanding buy! |
Flawless

| Worked exactly as stated, the auto-scan feature is quite a novelty. I never really had any success with iPod FM transmitters before and gave up on them...until I decided to take a chance on this unit after reading the reviews about it. I'm glad I spent the money on this as it worked exactly how I wanted/needed it to. Good stuff! |
this works great

| I have tried 3 other ipod adapters for the car and they all sucked. This one is definitely worth buying. The auto scan feature on this really works and finds a clear station to broadcast it on. The other adapters made it a hassle to look for a station and as you drive you can often hear random static. This one doesnt have much static since it finds a truly clear station automatically. |
Best of a bad situation

This is the best way to use your iPod in your car if you have neither an iPod jack (1st choice) nor a cassette deck (distant 2d choice). The search function is by far the best way to find a station. It picks stations I never would pick "by ear" and they work well - for a while, then the station (or its neighbor) gets stronger and it is necessary to scan again. I use it all over Los Angeles and it is good enough to keep using your iPod. (I had given up on using the iPod in my car until I got this one, even though I had the previous version of the Monster FM transmitter. ) Even if you don't drive much, it can find a better station than you can find by ear. Monster is the best FM or cassette solution, and this is the best Monster product for FM. I have used several over the years.
It could be improved. I wish it beeped when it finished the scan. I wish the scan result stayed on the iPod screen until you click a button. You have to take your eyes off the road to check to see if it is done scanning. But once it finishes scanning, you can just push the center button once to see the station it found. The only way I can scan is to push the center button three times, which works fine. I started making the stations it finds pre-set stations on my car radio... but it finds different ones all the time, so this did not work so well. It is too much fiddling with the buttons and looking from the iPod screen to the radio dial, but it is the best by far of a bad situation. |
