Why fumble with CDs when you can play your Microsoft Zune media player through virtually any car stereo? Enter the Monster CarPlay Plus FM transmitter, a specially designed Zune accessory that's perfect for people who spend a ton of time in the car. The CarPlay Plus is easy to use: Simply tune your car radio to an unused FM frequency (excluding 87.7 and 87.9 MHz), tune your CarPlay to the same station, and hit play on your Zune. That's all it takes to enjoy complete wireless access to your Zune library. The CarPlay Plus also keeps your Zune fully charged thanks to its Smart Digital Charger, which plugs into your car's 12-volt cigarette lighter. And for added convenience, the unit includes three programmable "favorite station" preset buttons-- so you can quickly get the best reception wherever you are--and an easy-to-read LED display. The CarPlay Plus, which connects to your Zune's bottom connector port, is backed by a one-year warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars All the negative reviews you read about this product (and its predecessor) are true, July 26, 2008

This review is from: MONSTER ZU FM-CH PS Carplay Wireless Plus Charger Designed for Zune (Electronics)

After researching wireless FM transmitters to use with the Zune in my car, I had serious doubts about all the negative feedback that these Monster units received. So I bought this unit from Amazon to try it out for myself.

The negative reviews are true-- static interference even on the clearest channels. The sound quality is awful given what this thing costs. The product feels and looks cheap as well. Not to mention, the clearest channel I could find for the use of this product was 87.9 MHz, but the channel memory on this unit doesn't go any lower than 88.1 MHz! Ridiculous.

Believe the reviews. Don't waste your time or your money on this unit. After testing it out for about an hour, I had mine packaged and ready to return to Amazon for a refund.


(Brand new CD decks with front auxiliary input are available for as much as this unit. Might as well just upgrade your deck)

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Monster Product!, May 28, 2008

This review is from: MONSTER ZU FM-CH PS Carplay Wireless Plus Charger Designed for Zune (Electronics)

I was VERY disappointed in this product. I purchased this product because of the "MONSTER" name. That was evidently a bad choice. The sound quality was worse than a record player. That is when I could actually get a station where I could hear what was playing on the Zune. I wouldn't pay $10 for this product much less the $75 after shipping. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT, you'll just end up sending it back and lose $5 or more in shipping costs!!!

This review is from: MONSTER ZU FM-CH PS Carplay Wireless Plus Charger Designed for Zune (Electronics)

despite all of the bad reviews on this product I got it anyway because my brother had one for his ipod and it works like a charm I love it. I had gotten the Zune Fm transmitter from zune and it didn't work at all I even tried two different models. so if you are looking for a great fm transmitter for your zune try this one.
