    Monster iCarPlay Wireless FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod

    • but I only sync the streo station with this cable and it worked perfectly
    • This was incredibly easy to use; find the right station on your radio and click the button on the iCarPlay until it matches, and here comes music
    • The two stations that did pick it up had horrible sound quality (static and hollow sounding).
    • None of the others I tried seemed to be able to transmit over the weak stations available in New York
    • Even weak stations (New York has very few empty stations) worked great
    • I'm sure the 3 stations one would work just fine for someone who lives in a small town and doesn't travel much
    • Three of the stations available on this product are "free" (i.e; full of static) in the Southern California (Orange County) area, and this thing worked great on all three of them; two better than the other
    • I'm often changing the stations to find a clearer station, and when the station is clear, the sound is muffled.
    • Even though some of the reviews communicate that this doesn't work in urban areas, I can't think of a more crowded radio space than NYC, and it blew out the other radio stations
    • I did not have to change the frequency, in fact the radio ismemorized on a new favorite station, 89.5
    • I live in a metropolitan area and had no problems finding a station.
    • This is in a major urban area, with Classical, Country and Tejano (or all three if you're lucky) stations abound on that region of the dial, and it doesn't have conflicts
    • A plus is that I can charge my ipod when I use it; the only negitive is the limited number of frequencies I can use (8) if there is weak station conflict
    • In Portland, OR where I live, there are a lot of strong stations broadcasting on those frequencies, and that causes a lot of interference
    • The cons are the FM-quality sound and the possibility that depending on where you live, you may not find a clear station
    • This just requires a press of the red button to automatically search for the weakest existing station
    • The station was completely quiet and ready for me to broadcast
    • stations are bleeding through 2 or 3
    • Now it works perfectly, and even in big cities I'm able to find a well-working radio station for my ipod.
    • The station numbers are printed on the transmitter and you can just scan through all the channels on your radio to find the one that has the weakest signal or is just static (no FM station at all)
    • I had to change stations a couple of times during the trip, but never had a problem finding a clear station to use
    • In Philadelphia you cannot get a clear station
    • The static was louder than the music and there are not enough stations to choose from.
    • I found that on I-95 in Connecticut, where there are a bunch of noncommercial stations, it was hard to find a good clear station to transmit on
    • but it was easy enough to find a clear station especially with six pre-sets on my radio dedicated to the eight pre-programmed stations of the Monster
    • When I plugged it it, I heard absolutely nothing on the station until I turned on my ipod (by this, I mean the transmitter completely went over anything that was on that station).Great product from my experience, but others might have issues if they can't find a good station.
    • There is one station on the settings I use and it barely works in the city and I have to put my Ipod in one specific spot.
    • You make the switch on the control, then have to tune your radio to the appropriate station and hope that it will be static free.
    • When I turn on the iCarPlay though and set it to 88.1, the station goes silent and I can set my iPod to play whatever I want.
    • i was very frustrated with the bad results of this transmitter, of the stations available, only one was'nt occupied by a staion already
    • Since some people seem not to have this experience, I suspect that it has a lot to do with the quality of the FM tuner in the car in which it's used (some are inherently better at tuning in weak stations, rejecting the weaker of two "competing" stations, etc.).
    • I love my monster connection, because it charges my Ipod, plays the music in my Ipod with quality sound (if you are tuned in to the right station - no static) and I never have to buy batteries again.
    • None of the others I tried seemed to be able to transmit over the weak stations available in New York
    • I have always been stuck listening to poor radio stations and endless commercials while driving my car, but the Monster Cable
    • Even weak stations (New York has very few empty stations) worked great
    • The product has several stations to select from, however, being in a metro area, all but one of them is actually occupied by a very strong local station signal
    • With the other units I tried, I could get the music to work for a while, but as soon as I drove just a little ways, I would have to find a 'cleaner' (more static) station- even just a hint of reception would throw the music off.
    • I wanted to take my iPod, as there are very few worthwhile radio stations once you get on I-5 past Sacramento.
    • At first, I was worried -- every station I could choose from seemed to have some sort of signal coming through.
    • Because we live in an area with very few radio stations, we have not experienced problems in finding a suitable station.
    • Sound was flat at first, but increased the treble on the stereo and it sounds at least as good as any FM station.--Make sure to consider a version with the mini-plug if you want to use with any other products like a portable DVD player.
    • often times there is no good station to be found
    • I would have to guess the level of static you recieve all depends on your area, but I can't get a clear station anywhere in my town.
    • The 8 presets that allow you to tune in for wireless aren't very good, seeing that here in my area, 89.5 is a fairly strong radio station so the frequencies around it get bleed out from it
    • With the other units I tried, I could get the music to work for a while, but as soon as I drove just a little ways, I would have to find a 'cleaner' (more static) station- even just a hint of reception would throw the music off.
    • It reminds me of when you are traveling and your are just starting to lose the station.
    • In certain cars I bring it in, it works really well, but in some cars I have a little bit of static to deal with - even set on the most clear station
    • It seems to work best with the car with the worst radio (poor reception on weak stations)
    • This gadget works as well as it can
