Digital camera reviews of Monster iCarPlay Wireless FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod
Digital camera Review: **Excellent product, even in urban area (Wash, D.C.)**
Summary: 5 Stars
I live just outside Washington, D.C. so the airwaves are cluttered with stations. Despite this, I find I can usually (around 90% of the time) get very clear output with this device. It's even better on a longer trip to a less urban area.
It's probably never "crystal" clear, but you really wouldn't notice given the other ambient noise of driving.
My car has a single CD player only--no cassette--so short of some wince-inducing surgery on my BMW's electrical system, this is pretty much the only option for getting the iPod to work in my car.
Plus, since this ingenious product charges the iPod too, you can emerge from a trip with a full battery. Can't ask for much more than that!
Be patient with trying to find a few stations that work, and don't try to do this in traffic. It'll demand your full attention. After some initial frustration i was ready to throw the thing out the window, but once i got the hang of it, ah, sweet iPod bliss!!! My error was in looking for "empty" stations on the dial. Turns out that the transmitter can bump even a clear transmission, so try all 8 options before you settle on a few reliable ones.
I wholeheartedly recommend the iCarPlay for those without the cassette-adapter option. It's an absolute no-brainer for $70.
Summary of Monster iCarPlay Wireless FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod
The Monster Cable iCarPlay Wireless Plus FM transmitter gives your car stereo great-sounding, wireless access to your entire iPod library, all while charging the portable jukebox to keep the music playing. Simply plug one end of the iCarPlay Wireless Plus into the 12-volt cigarette lighter and the other end into the dock connector on the bottom of your iPod. Once you select matching FM stations on your car stereo and the iCarPlay device, you're ready to roll. Your favorite music will transmit wirelessly to your car stereo using FM frequencies, and because it offers full FM tuning flexibility (excluding 87.7 and 87.9 MHz), you're guaranteed top-quality, interference-free sound. Meanwhile, Monster's Smart Digital Charging technology will rapidly charge your iPod when the power is low, and when its fully charged, the transmitter switches to a trickle charge to optimize the iPod's performance. You'll never have to worry about running out of power when using the iCarPlay. Additional features include three programmable "favorite station" preset buttons, an easy-to-ready LED display, and 24k gold contacts for maximum corrosion resistance and power transfer.

Monster Cable's iCarPlay wireless FM transmitter gives you just that: great sounding, wireless access to your entire multi-gigabyte collection of tunes, right through your car stere's FM radio. At the same time, the iCarPlay charges your iPod to keep the music playing.
