Summary: The best of the iPod FM transmitters!
Review: I have been using a wireless iTrip FM transmitter for the past year or so. But I found that when traveling I need to change the channels that the device transmits on frequently and this is not easy to do on the iTrip. I also found that I had to turn up the volume on the iPod quite high to get it to play well which drained the battery more quickly. This device solves both issues. The Monster Cable iCarPlay has a switch that easily changes channels and a backlit display to easily identify the channel. It also plugs into the cigarette lighter so power drain is not an issue. In fact after a long plane ride it is great to recharge the battery in my rental car. It is not wireless, but the performance is worth the trade off.

Summary: Great Item Depending on Where You Live
Review: I have been using it for a month and it works fantastic where I live in Tucson,AZ where there aren't any stations that use its frequencies. However, it is almost useless when I go to Phoenix,AZ which has all sorts of stations using its frequencies. Driving across Phoenix I have to hunt for a frequency about every 10 minutes and often times there is no good station to be found. However, it is very sleek and easy to change its transmitting frequency when you run into a problem.Also would like to add, that while it does not match the ipod exactly, it looks sleek and great with the ipod. It looks great as a bridge between a car with a gray/black interior and the ipod. My problem with it though, is there is no way to make it not charge. I am not sure but doesn't this limit the ipods battery life? There is no way to make it not charge and it is my understanding that there is a limited number of power cycles for a battery. Does using this device always (especially if you are constantly starting and stopping your car and thusly starting and stopping charging) limit the battery of the ipod? The other problem is that it will only work in a car since it draws power from a cigarette ligther. You will have to buy an apadter then plugs into a wall outlet if you want to use it at home.

Summary: Best FM transmitter out there
Review: I have gone through several FM transmitters to get my iPod music to come through my car stereo. This is by far the best in signal strength. I live in Manhattan which has a very crowded radio spectrum and crushes most FM transmitters. I originally bought the iRock when it first came out but quickly gave up on it because of the amount of static as well as short battery life. I then bought the iTrip and got better spectrum choice but still had a fair amount of hiss and static from the weak signal. I then went out and bought what was supposed to be the best FM transmitter by C. Crane and Co ($80.00) according to Wired Magazine. Suprisingly, this was no better than the iTrip. Out of desperation, I finally bought the iCarplay after reading numerous reviews on it. When I plugged it in my car, it was very obvious that the signal was much stronger than the other transmitters. On empty frequencies it gave a very clear signal without any static. On frequencies that already had a station, it would actually suppress the outside signal. In addition to its signal strength, the fact that it runs both the transmitter AND the iPod off the car's lighter socket it hugely helpful. When you are on a long trip, you never have to worry about stocking up on batteries or worse trying to replace them while driving. I calculated that I must have spent in excess of $140 before discovering the iCarplay. If you are thinking of getting a transmitter for your car, this should clearly be your first choice.

Summary: Little Piece of Gold
Review: I have tried every kind of FM transmitter you can buy and they have all been unnacceptable. This one is more expensive but it actually transmits enough power to eliminate static at volume. There is some static when there is no volume but the music hides it so it's fine. The fact that this one charges your i pod as well is enough to sell me.

Summary: better than others but still sucks
Review: I live in nyc and i tried a couple of other fm transmitters that were horrible, although this one is better it still works like crap. Lots of static and it just doesnt work well. Im actually buying a tape adaptor which by reviews states works better and is like 45 bucks cheaper!!! so i dont recomment it.

Summary: Works great
Review: I originally had the I-Trip which did not provide the best reception on my car stereo. The iCarplay provides excellent reception and I do not have to worry about running low on battery power. Also with the iCarplay you do not have to store any preset stations on your Ipod. With a click of a botton you can change the frequency your Ipod is transmitting.

Summary: Buy some mini-speakers instead
Review: I read all the technical information on this product, but I should have waited to read these customer reviews! The product does not work in the LA/Orange County area; there is too much interference from other radio stations. The customer service rep at The Gig Store (the vendor of this product) told me that they have had many returns because of the interference problem and they don't intend to market it to urban areas!
I am extremely disappointed in the product and would not recommend it. However, I've discovered that a pair of mini-speakers attached to your iPod not only works much better but costs less.

Summary: Need to hook up your iPod to your Car? Get this product!
Review: I tried the iTrip, I tried 2 other Belkin products, none of those worked as well as this transmitter from Monster. Very easy to configure (hit the red button to get the frquecy you want) and it is powerful enough to block out the local stations on any frequency in my area, which are quite a few. It also charges up the iPod, which is great.
Sound quality, absolutely amazing!!! I have mp3s on my iPod and not like I am expecting CD quality or anything, but the bass and treble are fantastic. No static what so ever. 3 people at work got this transmitter after they heard the quality of mine. Keep in mind I have pretty nice stock head units in my cars. I would rcommend this!

Summary: if this is the best I'd hate to hear the worst
Review: I tried this in both of my vehicles and the "hiss" is to much for me to handle. At times it sounds great then it gets overtaken by the hiss for no apparent reason. This can happen just sitting in the driveway without the vehicle running. I bought this becuase it was a charger and FM transmitter in one which is a great feature. But it sounds like I will be going to the cassette adapter for better sound quality.
