Works where ever we go [Posted on 2007-12-13]
I found a good station to us and now we have our IPOD music everywhere we go.
There are better ways... [Posted on 2007-12-30]
I have tried 3 different Ipod adapters in my wife's car, and one more in my truck. The Monster cable works well enough but its biggest drawback is that it's very difficult to change the channel. Unlike some other transmitters that have simple up/down buttons, the Monster cable needs to be reprogrammed to change channels, which you can't do while driving.
If possible, use a cassette adaptor instead [Posted on 2008-01-14]
This was possibly the best radio broadcaster that I've used for my iPod. That said, the utility of these was rather lacking as I live in the city and drive through traffic constantly. If I wasn't having enough problems finding open stations, driving past other vehicles inhibits the broadcast quality.
In the end, I realized that my car's cassette player was a wonderful option to have installed. Any lossage possible over that connection is nowhere near as bad as the unpredictable FM spectrum. Until my next car comes with a direct input jack, this is just a car charger for me.
So so.... [Posted on 2008-06-10]
It works so so..... Some static is detectable. Benefit of charging the ipod while in use in the car.
Works Great, but NOT on iPod Touch Gen 2 [Posted on 2008-09-23]
This FM transmitter is the best, hands down, tested and proved. I used 3 others from different companies before giving in and spending the extra money to get the monster. We have one in every car now, a hefty investment. They work infinitely better than anything else i've personally tried or seen my friends use.
PROBLEM: I gave in an got the iPod touch Generation 2. I plug in the monster and the iPod says that the device is incompatible and will not charge the ipod. I have to acknowledge the warning and move on. Music will still play through the iCar BUT it doesnt charge the iPod. THis defeats the purpose of having a powered FM transmitter. This worked fine on my first generation iPod touch, but not on the 2nd gen. Be careful, I don't think anyone has anything out yet that will charge the iPod Touch Gen 2 AND play music from it at the same time yet.
If that problem doesn't effect you, I'd say give in, spend the money and buy it.
