Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Monster iCar Play iPod FM Transmitter/Charger - AIPFM-CH250Customer Review: Great Till Cigaratte Lighter Part Quit Altogether Summary: 3 Stars
[please read below for conclusion] I purchased this product and after almost exactly six months it stopped working. The part of it that goes into the cigarette lighter no longer works. When I insert it, the Monster logo does not light up indicating that power isn't getting from the cigarette lighter to the adapter. I tested my cigarette lighter by plugging my other phone adapter into it, and that works fine. I used this almost every day on my way to work. Every time I got out of my car I took it out of the cigarette lighter and hid everything under my car seat so no one was tempted to break in and steal it. I'm guessing that constantly taking it in and out wore it out. Until now it was a nearly perfect device and met all of my needs. In my 30 mile drive to work one way I never had to change the station. Even driving 60 miles into NYC there was little problem. Although I had to tolerate a little bit of interference once in the city, it was mostly manageable. I am very disappointed that the adapter quit working after only six months. Even with heavy use it should have lasted longer than six months. I've owned my phone charger for four years and it still works. If you use it like I did make sure you buy it from an authorized dealer (Amazon is one), and keep your receipt since without your receipt the warranty is only good for 3 months from when it leaves the factory.
6/10/09--as a follow up, Monster replaced my product (since I did have the receipt and it was under a year warranty) with a comparable one. I called the warranty dept. and told them it wasn't working. Without asking any specific questions except when I purchased it they told me to send it in and they'd replace it. They didn't even ask for a receipt but I sent mine anyway. I received the new product exactly 21 days from when I sent mine to them.
