Music on the Road

Traveling with music is a great way to make a long car trip go by quick, but radio stations do not always play your favorites. Taking along CDs allows you to play what you want, but funbling through discs while you drive is not safe and carrying a large number of discs can be awkward. Carrying personal media devices such as an iPod are a great way to take your music with yo, but these devices are meant for a single user with headphones, how do your friends hear what is being played?

Driving Tunes for Everyone

With Monster iCarPlay Wireless 800 all of the music stored on your iPod and iPhone is just a click away. Simply connect the iCarPlay Wireless 800 into your iPod or iPhone, tune in the assigned station and all of your music is now playing through your car audio system. Enjoy your music and share with the whole car for the entire trip...

FM Tuning for Great Sound Anywhere

While most radio adaptors have a pre-set station, the iCarPlay Wireless 880 can tune into just about any FM station. With the added benefit Auto-Scan technology, iCarPlay Wireless 800 scans the entire FM band to find the cleanest station; this reduces static and minimizes signal overlap. Combine that with three programmable Favorite Station buttons and easy-to-read dimmable LED display, and easily one-handed tuning, and getting a clear transmission from your player to your radio station is easily achievable.

Get A Charge Out of Your Music

The benefits of iCarPlay Wireless 800 does not stop at the clear crisp sound you will hear, while you are playing your tunes with iCarPlay Wireless 800 charges your iPod or iPhone. With this handy feature you will not have to worry about cranking the tunes. When you reach your destination your device will be charged and ready to go.

1.0 out of 5 stars more static than music, July 2, 2009

This review is from: Monster iCarPlay Wireless 800 FM Transmitter for iPod and iPhone (Electronics)

The transmission is terrible, you can barely hear the music over the static. The scanning function doesn't even pick the best of the static stations, when you are lucky it is only .1 or .2 off from a decent station, but about half the time there is no transmission at all. Also the dial, which initially looks fancy and fun, is very awkward to manipulate while driving. So essentially this is a very expensive ipod charger for when you are on the go.

I've had a monster fm transmitter for over a year. I loved it. I broke it by setting a heavy object on it. I thought I would try this newer version. What a mistake. I couldn't get it to play without static, even setting it to the station my other one had been on. I tried their auto scan feature, it kept choose a station that was playing country music. I could not get a clear station. I'll go back to the older version which I know works Monster iCarPlay Wireless FM Transmitter with Auto-Scan for iPod and it is quite a bit less expensive.

While I can hear the music from my iPod there is constantly fuzziness and interference. I use a different plug in device for my XM radio FM reception and don't get any interference. With the cable it doesn't matter what channel I'm tuned to there is intereference. Sorry, but I can't recommend that anyone buy this product.
