Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Monster iCarPlay Wireless FM Transmitter with Auto-Scan for iPod
Customer Review: Stationary Transmitter is the key
Summary: 4 Stars
I tried several other types of transmitter units for my Ipod and this is by far the best. The stationary unit that plugs into the lighter works better than the Belkin where the transmitter is down the line and is apt to pick up other signals through the wire. Now I can move my Ipod and it doesn't affect the signal. Plus now the transmitter is located very near the radio and it picks up the signal much better with less interferance.
Not perfect but as good as I can get without a direct plug into the radio.
Customer Review: AutoScan just doesn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
The AutoScan feature seemed like a good idea but I have tried it repeatedly following exactly the instructions on the product, but after selecting "Auto" nothing at all happens. Yes, it says to wait, but you can wait and wait and wait and nothing at all happens. It works in manual station mode but you don't need to pay this much for that technology. This one is going back where it came from. Oh and BTW it's not wireless (the FM transmission is wireless but the transmitter is on a wire so it's not wireless).Customer Review: Would probably work a lot better outside of the city

I bought this product for my wife. In her old car she used to be able to play her iPod through a cassette adaptor. Her new car did not have a cassette adaptor so we got the Monster icar play. Problem is we live in NYC and almost all of the FM frequencies are in use. Even if you find a frequency that is clear, say in Brooklyn, when you drive into the Bronx it will be tied up so you are constantly trying to adjust frequencies. Now she just listens to the radio. Thank goodness my car is hard wired for the ipod :-)Customer Review: Best FM Transmitter I have heard
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Efficient and simple
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had 3 other types of FM transmitters for my iPod and this one is the best. The device searches for a clear channel for you, and the channel is displayed in the iPod screen. No muss no fuss. No trying to read tiny red LED numbers, no searching through the channels manually, simple and efficient. You can do it all manually if you prefer then set the device to the channel you like. We just took it on a 3000 mile road trip and it was awesome and kept the music rolling along with us. I love it.
