Amazon.com Product Description
Why shuffle through stacks of CDs and tapes to find the song you want in the car when you can listen to the 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. The iCarPlay is compatible with all iPods that utilize a dock connector, including the iPod mini.

Too much buzz.......2007-12-24
This product was returned because of the incessant buzz. I could not find an fm frequency that worked well, and the product was hard to use. Frequency change was not intuitive.
DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM.......2007-12-12
The first one I got was out of order and I had to return it. The replacement lasted only 2 months since it broke into pieces. On top of that, the receiver was so weak that every certain miles I had to reset it - while driving. The connector to the ipod is probably the least user-friendly connector I've seen. I bought it because I've had execellent experience with Monster products in the past, but truly, I cannot believe how bad qaulity this product is.
The best I've tried so far........2007-12-07
This is the 4th transmitter I have tried and it has the best sound so far. It's very clear and low to no static. I've tried a Belkin, a DLO and a Monster iTrip. I haven't used it long, but so far so good. I'd recommend it.
Better than the rest!.......2007-11-27
I bought iCarPlay a few weeks ago after purchasing several other fm transmitters. The Monster is the best yet! I have a Honda Accord and it would not pick up a clear signal from any other transmitter. Then, I bought the Monster. Its signal came in clearly on all three channels. Switching channels is easy with the lighted presets. I am very happy with the product and wish I had not spent $99 on an inferior transmitter.
A GOOD BY FOR THE PRICE.......2007-11-26
I AM HAPPY WITH THE ITEM. ONLY BAD PART IS BECAUSE IT IS DIGITAL, IT IS HARD TO SEE THE STATION IT IS SET TO DURING THE DAY TIME.

Customer Reviews:
Great idea........doesn't work.......2007-12-26
Apparently Monster has some real quality issues, this is my second bad experience with their products. Unit intermittantly stops transmitting, have to unplug to reset. Autoscan......great idea....needs more work. 120 sec to scan and you still have a busy station. Amazon was great on the return policy though, prepaid shipping.
Excellent Product!.......2007-12-26
This is an excellent product - works exactly as advertised. I highly recommend it, especially if you live in a city with lots of frequencies in use.
Great Product.......2007-12-24
Does go out from time to time, but that's mainly due to the fact I live in LA and there are no free radio stations anymore. Great deal!
Auto scan is a great addition.......2007-12-18
I have tried the old monster cable and wasn't very happy with it as there was a lot of static with it. This auto scan cable allows you to do a search to find the clearest channel. We've had the new cable for about a month and would recommend it to others.
do not purchase if you have the ipod touch.......2007-12-04
I purchased this product last week because a few people i know have used this and said it is the best fm transmitter for the ipod. 5 minutes after it came in i went to my truck to hook up my ipod, there was nothing. I am not sure why, but the radio station will not appear on the ipod touch screen and will not allow you to know what station you are tuned into to set your radio to. On monster's website ( as of 12/3/07) this is the first product listed on the page for touch accessories. After waiting on hold for over 30 minutes to talk to a tech support rep. from monster, i found out that the page on www.monstercable.com was wrong and that if you have a ipod touch, you should not buy this. Monster agreed to send me the correct one in exchange for this one. The one that is being sent to me is the Monster iCarPlay Wireless Plus.

Check your local frequencies first.......2007-01-02
This device limits you to a handful of preset frequencies, all of them at the bottom of the dial. While it has done decent service in my local area, we could not use our iPod at all on a recent trip through Pennsylvania because the stations were constantly in use. Not to mention that the price is pretty high for what this delivers. We will be looking for something else before our next roadtrip. I would have given it 3 stars if not for the lingering frustration at having to listen to lousy commercial radio for four hours!
The first company to attach a tuning dial to one of these gadgets will make a fortune. In the meantime, if your area has no stations between 87.9 and 89.1, then perhaps this is the FM transmitter for you.
Does the job superbly!.......2006-10-12
I own Monster FM transmitter - this model for more than 2.5 years now. As the other review has mention - it does the job very well. I use this with my 20GB ipod - one of the older ones - 2nd gen I think.
I live in Chicagoland and it works fine in city as well as in suburbs. You may need to change stations as you move from city to burbs. With this FM transmitter, I have travelled
- from Chicago to Boston,NJ-NY,WV
- from San Fran to LA, San Diego, Las Vegas
- inner parts of Alaska
Over all I have passed through more than 20 states and it has always worked!
Yeah, in CA sometimes I had difficulty may be because of too many radio stations but other than that it has worked great everywhere. It's little expensive but it's worth every penny.
Does the job quite well.......2005-12-04
I bought this on a recommendation from a friend. I was wary of the FM transmitters, as I had read of poor performance. This friend was very positive, so combined with my previous positive experience with Monster products, I decided to give it a go.
I rated it 5 stars because it accomplishes exactly what it says it should. When I selected an empty station for it to play on, the sound was clear and of high quality with only a few exceptions. I took it on a 6 hour road trip and it worked perfectly. The only difficulty is when you come to a place (like Southern Cal) with many radio stations. Finding a frequency may be difficult in that circumstance. It was convenient to be able to charge the iPod as well.
It does what it claims and well.

Customer Reviews:
It does the job.......2007-12-23
This product works well as advertised. However, it has problems one should be aware of. There is a choice of about 10 FM frequencies to use. There needs to be more. If I am away from a large city, I can usually find one of the frequencies that does not have a strong signal that interferes with the performance of the ipod. However, when I am in the city I get marginal performance at best. Sometimes it is not usable. This needs to be resolved before I would consider this product a finished solution.
Do NOT waste your money!!.......2007-12-21
This is a piece of garbage. What a waste of 70 bucks!!! It did not work at ALL. Constant static, no way to fine tune. It has the look and feel of something you'd find at the bottom of a cracker jack box. Go with the PodFreq by Sonnet.
Don't bother trying this product - it is a piece of junk.......2007-12-17
It is an absolute piece of junk. I usually start with it unplugged, scan through all the frequencies available, locate and take note of the ones with the weakest external signal, and start my trip. Well, in a 15 mile commute, I can't drive more than 5 minutes without having to try to find another station where it has less interference. It simply doesn't work.
May damage your ipod.......2007-12-10
After two years of owning the icarplay, and not being terribly impressed with it, I am finally giving it up. It has worked terribly in all but the most remote of locations, and it frequently cuts out of one channel of my stereo. But I just found out today that it has RUINED two of my ipods!
I replaced my old 30g ipod video about three weeks ago, because my computer stopped recognizing it. It was out of warranty, so i had to buy a brand new one, full price, etc. Then, two days ago, the brand new 80g ipod classic also stopped being recognized by my computer! This was a very unique problem, and it was strange that it had happened twice to me.
I took it to the mac store, and the genius desk guy concluded that power surges via the Monster had fried the motherboards of both ipods. Now, this may have been in part due to a problem of my car, I don't know, but I plan on NEVER hooking anything from a cigarette lighter into any electronic that I value.
In the end, it would have been not much more money, and ultimately cheaper, to just get a cheap car stereo with a 1/8" audio input, which is what I plan on doing with my new (3rd) ipod. And I will have way better sound quality!
This piece of junk is highly NOT recommended. Expensive, poor quality, a pain to use, and possibly dangerous to your ipod.
This purchase is good.......2007-12-08
The sound with this cable is good, but i'm think that was better. However is good if you don't have any posibility to ear in your card your music.

Terrific Little Speaker with Clear, Strong Sound.......2007-09-07
After reading several dozen consumer reviews describing laptop speakers I puchased this one. You simply plug it into your laptop, or USB hub, swivel the gooseneck to position the speaker where you want, and you've got an excellent speaker that fits in a small laptop utility bag.
The only complaint I have is that there is no quick volume control; once you've plugged it into your USB port, it overrides the laptop's volume control "knob". You have to open the volume icon in your Control Panel every time you want to adjust the speaker volume, which can be too slow when you're being blasted by a loud video.
This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the volume modulation in the speaker itself, just that there seems to be a wide volume range across items I view--YouTube, email messages with videos from friends, etc.
If this speaker had a volume control knob it would be perfect!
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DELL LAPTOPS.......2007-09-02
After several weeks of light, mid-volume use, the speaker stopped working on my Dell Latitude D500 and I began receiving error messages noting a "device malfunction". After trading emails with J-Lab customer service, I was instructed to return the speaker by mail (at my expense) for a refund. The refund I received was 80% of the original purchase price because, according to J-Lab, the device was still "working" upon receipt. The representative handling the return acknowledged that there has, in fact, been a history of compatibility issues with Dell laptops-- in other words, a "working" speaker may not always operate correctly when connected to a Dell laptop. Is trying this speaker on your Dell worth the risk of paying two sets of shipping charges, losing 20% of the purchase price, and spending time emailing representatives and repacking/mailing the device? If not, maybe it's worth considering alternatives.
Are we listening to the same speakers?.......2007-08-08
We bought this speaker for our Gateway M505 Media Laptop on a recent trip. The M505 has reasonable speakers for a laptop, but their volume level isn't quite strong enough for us to be happy--we'd always find ourselves straining to hear dialogue from movies.
From reading the reviews I honestly thought this would solve our problem in a nifty self-contained USB-powered fashion.
For us it didn't.
We found the speakers to be nearly identical to the M505 speakers, and while the B-Flex did give us the tiniest improvement in volume, it wasn't enough to really give us adequate volume, or the "big sound" many reviewers have mentioned. Also, there is no way a speaker the size of these can give the kind of frequency response any level of audiophile would be happy with.
So, who should try out this speaker? If you have standard tinny sounding laptop speakers (the almost nonexistent kind), these will be a big improvement. Also you will like the fact that it is USB powered so no batteries, no cords are needed.
However, having said that, I really think the bottom line is, to get truly better sound, you need to use a powered speaker. I think some of the JBL's may be the way to go.
For cost of these guys, unless you catch them on sale, my advice is to keep looking. We had to return ours. (Thanks to Amazon a really fair & generous return policy).
Definite improvement over stock, and extremely portable.......2007-07-08
My boyfriend bought me this speaker. It is plug-and-play. On my computer, often movies are not loud enough for some reason and with this speaker it's as loud as we could possibly want. Also I can blast my music throughout the house from my laptop - before I could not because it sounded horrible at high volumes.
I'm not much of a sound expert, but I think it sounds pretty good.
Flexible, Mobile & Fierceful .......2007-05-13
Love this laptop speakers!! My laptop speakers suck so much that this little guy just gives me the wonderful sound my laptop deserves!! I highly recommend it!!

low qaulity.......2007-11-24
This product did not clear receive the I-Pod hooked up to it and station was not clear we returnd the product.
Good for the money!.......2007-11-21
I believe that with FM transmitters, you really get what you pay for. If you are willing to pay extra, you get a better machine.
This transmitter worked really good! When my MP3 player's batteries started dying down, it had lots of static, just like my other FM transmitters used to do.
Great transmitter for the money!
Returned Item.......2007-07-14
I returned this item, all I got was static. I thought with the "Monster" name it would be a good product, this is not the case. Amazon does a great job with returns though, credit card was refunded promptly with no questions asked.
Monster FM Transmitter does not disappoint.......2007-06-06
I purchased the Monster RadioPlay Wireless FM Transmitter for my wife for her birthday, and she absolutely loves it. She uses it almost all the time when she is in the car. The reception is excellent and the sound/clarity is as good as the quality of the mp3 (since mp3's can be recorded at different settings).
Overall I am very pleased and would have no problem purchasing another Monster produce.
works OK.......2007-05-06
I was not completely impressed with the Monster MP3 adapter. It works OK, but not as well as I'd like. The sound level is fairly low but tolerable. My vehicle has the antenna in the rear window, which doesn't help matters. Over all I'd say it's not bad, but I wouldn't buy one again...

IT WORKS.......2007-07-23
I had read that other products like this were not rated very high. But after getting it and trying it ,It is great. There is not problem with static and the sound is great. I will tell anyone that is interested in purchasing this item to go ahead because it will deliver
Complete Rubbish.......2007-02-07
I tried this unit with a different iPods in different vehicles, and the only sound it produced was a bit of whiny interference no matter which station I tuned in to. The results were very disappointing.
Do yourself a big favor and look elsewhere for auto iPod hookup.
Only lasted for a half hour.......2006-11-05
We bought ours at a well known electronic/media store and overpayed for it. We plugged it in as soon as we got it. It sounded great compared to the last ipod trip we bought from Belkin. There was no static and the sound was good, but it stopped working a half an hour later and that was the end of it. It never worked again. Luckily we got our money back. Good thing!!
Weak Signal.......2006-08-21
I have used this FM modulator for some months now. It is very pricey, to say the least. Here are my experiences from driving many thousands of miles with it attached to my iPod.
First, this unit is very expensive, more than most modulators.
Second, it leaves a background hiss on your FM, noticeable when you turn up the volume.
Third, if there is the slightest FM radio signal the unit is worthless. You can fuss for hours, as I have, with rearraging the cable coming from it, to block out the distant signal, but it is a pain. If you encounter a really local FM signal on the modulator's presets, forget it. And if you are driving in a metropolitan area the unit cannot be used, since there are no open frequencies, and/or the modulator's output is too weak to overcome any signal. Also changing frequency presets in the unit is a pain; if it is not a preset, you need two hands.
Fourth, the modulator overdeviates. This means that on poor quality FM radios, like those found as standard equipment in most vehicles (for example my Dodge Durango), the sound will be distorted on many iPod tunes. I found that on high quality car stereos (like the optional McIntosh stereo in my Subaru), the sound is excellent, although still noisy (hiss).
This unit is way overpriced, and is virtually useless in most metropolitan areas because of the weak modulator output.

Customer Reviews:
Average sound.......2007-03-22
Unless your laptop's soundcard is not working, or your speakers are barely hearable I wouldn't recommend this. Odds are your laptop does as much as these speakers.
It is well built, looks resistant and it does a decent job. Do not expect very good quality.
Like it so much bought it for a friend........2007-03-08
I like the sound of mine so much I bought one fo my friend for his birthday. It's not super loud but you can listen to music from your mac, with good quality. Just plug it into your USB port. My friend loves his too. He uses his all the time. Great for travel.
Works perfectly........2007-01-30
Speakers quit working on my laptop and needed something decent and easy - and this is better than that. Good quality considering size and price.
Lots of power in a small package.......2007-01-19
I really thought the reviews for this item were probably a little over-blown, but the speakers have proven me wrong. As someone who primarily uses their laptop on the go, I have been looking for a set of small, easily transportable, decent sounding speakers. These fit into all three categories. I am pleasantly surprised by the fullness of the sound that they put out. If you're strictly an audiophile, you'd be better off investing in a good set of Bose headphones, but if you need something to quickly and efficeintly plug and play so other people can hear what is on your laptop, then you won't find a better buy for your money.
Cool!.......2007-01-13
It was a gift to my daughter and she was thrilled! We were all amazed at
the "out of the box" design and think that the folks at JLab need to expand and create a whole lot of new "out of the box" stuff to make life
easier and more efficient! And, the speaker sounds GREAT!
